9500 MXC User Manual
3DB 23063 ADAA - Rev 004 July 2007 Vol. IV-7-3
Link Configuration
For the Node, link configuration applies to a RAC/ODU module (non-protected),
or 2x RAC/ODUs for protected.
For the Terminal, link configuration applies to its RAC/ODU module
(non-protected), or to the RAC/ODU modules of a protected Terminal pairing.
Refer to:
• Configuring a Link/Ring on page 7-3
• Protection Options on page 7-14
• Protection Settings on page 7-18
• Coupler Losses on page 7-19
• ATPC Guidelines on page 7-20
Configuring a Link/Ring
For a 9500 MXC Node, the Link/Ring plug-ins screen supports configuration of
capacity, modulation/bandwidth, frequency, TR spacing, Tx power, and ATPC.
For a 9500 MXC Terminal, the screen support is identical to that provided for the
Node, dependent on Terminal type.
• The configuration procedure is described at: Link/Ring Configuration
Procedure on page 7-5
• Additional guidelines for protected and co-channel XPIC operation, are
provided at:
• Protected Links and Rings
• Co-Channel XPIC Operation
When a Node is configured for ring protection, the RAC/ODU pairing is referred to
as a Ring rather than a Link.
From one Node/Terminal you can launch CT screens for its immediate remote
partner(s) by right-clicking on the relevant RAC or DAC 155oM within a LINK,
RING or DATA module (applies to all module-based screens such as System
Summary and Plug-ins), and selecting the Launch Remote option (requires an
operational connection to the remote end).
