(Config„Tx„Data) – TX DATA RATE

Tx Data Rate: 05000.000kbps

Sym:02500.000ksps

In Quad Drop&Insert (QDI) mode, these data rates are read-only! The data rate will be the sum of the tributary rates for all ports. This also will show the calculated symbol rate and Nx64kbps (where N=001 to 124).

The overall range of data rates is from 32 to 20000 kbps. The overall range of symbol rates is up to 10000 ksps. The minimum data rate is set to 32 kbps only for BPSK and

QPSK, and the maximum data rates are dependent on modulation type and FEC IMPORTANT encoder rate. If the user changes the modulation or FEC, and the currently selected

data rate can no longer be supported, the data rate will be adjusted automatically, up or down, keeping the symbol rate constant. The bottom line of the display shows the symbol rate, based on FEC type, modulation, FEC Code Rate, and Data Rate. The valid ranges of data rate are shown in the following table.
