3:Buffer slip [24]hrs 4:DISTANT Eb/No[8.5]dB

Change, User-Opt, Thresholds Menu

This screen allows the operator to set thresholds at which a deferred alarm is raised, to allow action to be taken before the service degrades too far.

USER BER	The operator may enter a BER at which the deferred alarm is raised should the
	estimated USER BER degrade below this threshold.
DEMOD Eb/No	The operator may also or alternatively set a deferred alarm threshold for the
	Eb/No measured by the demodulator. This is the Eb/No as displayed on the
	screen whenever the demodulator status is displayed.
BUFFER SLIP	The operator may also instruct the modem to raise the deferred alarm if the
	interval between buffer slips is less than a preset threshold. The threshold is set
	in hours, and may be for example set to 960 hours (40 days) or 1728 (72 days)
	to warn if the criteria for clock accuracies for a specific service are not being met.
DISTANT Eb/No	If the AUPC feature is active in either `Maintain Eb/No` or `Monitor Distant` modes
	(refer to AUPC in section 8.11.1 on page 154) the operator has the facility to raise
	a deferred alarm if the DISTANT Eb/No falls below the user set threshold. This
	can be used in conjunction with the AUPC to indicate when the AUPC has
	reached the user set limit for maximum Tx power, but the distant Rx Eb/No has
	still fallen below the desired limit.
