Capacity and Bandwidth Options
Depending on the IDU and its capacity/bandwidth options, modulation rates are
programmed for QPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, or 128QAM:
• Table 2-1 lists the ETSI capacity, modulation, and bandwidth options for IDU
20x. Table 2-2 lists the options for North American (ANSI) Common Carrier.
• Table Table 2-3 on page 2-3 lists ETSI and ANSI capacity, modulation, and
bandwidth options for IDU 155o.

Please check the Product Release Notes to confirm the availability of modem profiles.
ETSI band plans for 55/56 MHz channeling and ANSI band plans for 50 Mhz
channeling are generally restricted to bands 18 GHz and higher.
