Procedure 11-2
Configure Horizon Compact Plus Adaptive Transmit Power Control
– Saturated Installation
Use this procedure to set up ATPC for a link engineered for receiver saturation (short range).
This procedure assumes that the link has been properly aligned at a low transmit power, with ATPC
turned off, before the following steps are performed.
Required Action
Steps
login
Log in as a NOC user.
Turn on ATPC
Align the link with ATPC turned off and with low power, to prevent receiver
saturation during alignment.
Once the link is aligned, use this command to turn ATPC on.
Enables or disables atpc, enables or disables coordinated power and provides
a coordinated power offset value in dB. Atpc may be invoked with or without a
coordinated power parameter.
set atpc [on/off] [on/off] [0-10]
Example 1
Sequence:
set atpc on
System responds:
ATPC CONFIGURATION LOCAL PEER
---------------------------------- ------------ ------------
Status : Enabled Enabled
Coordinated Power Offset : Disabled Disabled
Example 2
Sequence:
set atpc on on 6
press Enter
System responds:
ATPC CONFIGURATION LOCAL PEER
---------------------------------- ------------ ------------
Status : Enabled Enabled
Coordinated Power Offset : 6.0 dBm Disabled
Increase the transmit power to
the maximum for the radio in
use.
This command changes the output power for the radio. The actual value
depends on the radio band and radio concerned.
Sequence:
set transmit power n
Where
n
is the desired transmit power in dBm. Example 18
The system responds (example):
This may affect user traffic. Continue? Enter Y(Yes) or N(No)
:y
System is programmed to 18.0 dBm and presently transmitting at :-0.6 dBm.
