RAC Capacity and Bandwidth Options
Depending on capacity/bandwidth options, modulation rates are programmed for
QPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, or 256QAM.
Table 3-8 on page 3-24 lists the ETSI capacity, modulation, and bandwidth
options for RAC 30V3 and RAC 3X.
Table 3-9 on page 3-25 lists North American (ANSI) Common Carrier options.

1. The actual over-air capacity is 106xE1, but the backplane bus limits terminations to
100xE1. The 106xE1 capability supports over-air compatibility with the IDU ES.
