CONFIG: MASK: BUFFER SLIP
Select either ACTIVE or MASKED, using the [↑] [↓] arrow keys, then press ENTER.
• If the user selects ACTIVE, then a Buffer Slip fault will be generated whenever
the receive circuitry senses that the buffer has either underflowed, or overflowed.
• If the user selects MASKED, no alarm will be generated.
CONFIG: MASK: RX-IF
Use the [←] [→] arrow keys to select the parameter to edit: AGC or EbNo. Select either
ACTIVE or MASKED, using the [↑] [↓] arrow keys, then press ENTER.
If the user selects ACTIVE, then an AGC will be generated whenever the
receive signal level exceeds –20 dBm (for the desired carrier). An Eb/No fault
will be generated whenever the demodulator sees the receive Eb/No fall below
the pre-determined value.
If the user selects MASKED, no alarm will be generated.
CONFIG: MASK: SATELLITE ALARMS
Select either TX or RX, using the [←][→] arrow keys, then press ENTER.
