Local site Remote site
High station Low station
Rx(f1’)=11000 MHz Tx(f1’)=11000 MHz

High station means: Tx(f1) >Rx(f1’)

Low station means: Tx(f1’) < Rx(f1)

Radio Link Parameters
TSL RSL

IDU ODU )) ) ODU IDU

To Establish a radio link, we need configure following parameters:

1. MRMC – Modem scripts (ACM or fixed capacity, channel & modulation)
2. TX / RX frequencies – set on every radio
3. Link ID – must be the same on both ends
4. Max. TSL – Max. allowed Transmission Signal [dBm]
5. Unmute Transceiver – Transceiver is by default muted (is not transmitting)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To verify a radio link, we need control following parameters:

1. RSL – Received Signal Level [dBm] – nominal input level is required
2. MSE- Mean Square Error [dB]
3. Current ACM profile

 LINK ID – Antenna Alignment Process
To avoid pointing the antenna to a wrong direction (when both links share the same
frequency), LINK ID can be used to alert when such action is take.

 LINK ID – Antenna Alignment Process
Both IDUs of the same link must use the same Link ID
Otherwise, “Link ID Mismatch” alarm will appear in Current Alarms Window
