Adjusting power settings
The transmit power levels of the installed units must be adjusted to ensure they are
not too high. Excessive power levels may cause saturation of the receivers or false
radar detection (in radar enabled regions), leading to degradation of link performance
and link failure.
NOTE
To adjust the transmit power levels of the local and remote units, select
Configuration
from the menu, then update the Max Transmit Power
attribute.
To adjust power levels, proceed as follows:
Procedure 6-30 Adjust power levels
1
Consult the report generated by the Link Planner tool and note the
Transmit power recommended levels.
2
Set the local unit power equal to the ‘LOCAL - Max Transmit Power
setting while pointing’ value from the Link Planner report.
3
Set the remote unit power equal to the ‘REMOTE - Max Transmit Power
setting while pointing’ value from the Link Planner report.
4
Access each unit separately.
5
Align the units as described in
Aligning the units
on page
6-74
.
6
Repeat Step 2 and 3 using the values ‘LOCAL - Max Transmit Power
setting before disarm’ and ‘REMOTE - Max Transmit Power setting
before disarm’, if different than the corresponding ‘while pointing’
values.
7
Reboot the local unit then reboot the remote unit.
8
Disarm the units.
