 Automatic TX Power Control (1)

 The Automatic TX Power Control (ATPC) function automatically

varies the TX output power according to path conditions.
 ATPC provides the following advantages:
1. Improvement in up fading characteristics
2. Improvement in residual BER characteristic
3. Reduction of interference to intra system
4. Reduction of interference to inter system
 The ATPC Control can be used in several configuration:
ATPC-ATPC
MTPC-ATPC
ATPC-MTPC

 Protection switching (1)

Protection switching in Pasolink (1+1 ) system has several

switching priorities:
Priority 1: Manual switching Control
Manual switching is carried out by selecting from the front panel
OPR SEL SW [No.1–AUTO— No.2] When switched from here both
TX and RX sides switches at the same time.
Priority 2: Remote switching Control
Switching is initiated from external equipment (LCT/PNMT)
Priority 3: Automatic switching control
When the OPR SEL SW is set to Auto position, for any alarm in the
online equipment, traffic will be switched to the standby equipment
automatically. TX and RX switchover are performed independently.
