Functional description Power injector General The MPT-HC V2/MPT- MC is powered through an electrical Ethernet cable from the Power Injector. The Power Injector is an indoor device designed to deliver the DC power supply to the MPT-HC V2/MPT-MC by using the cable that carries the Ethernet traffic. At the input, the Power Injector receives the Ethernet traffic and the power supply on two dedicated connectors.

• Two LEDs indicate the presence of DC voltage on each MPT power output. Radio transmission features with MPT-HC V2/MPT-MC/ MPT-XP/9558HC Frequency agility The Frequency Agility feature gives the operator the ability to set the frequency of a single Transceiver within a chosen sub-band to select the RF working channel via MCT. This provides benefits for spare parts, order processing and frequency co-ordination.
The Output power is band- and modulation-dependent. Power monitoring The MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/9558HC incorporates a detector for Tx power measurement. It is used to provide measurement of forward power as a performance parameter and to provide a calibration input for transmitter operation over temperature and output range.
Product information and planning Viewed Tx power ranges always match the capabilities of the MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/ 9558HC for a given modulation. When modulation is changed, the CT automatically adjusts/ restricts Tx power to be within the valid range. Adaptive equalization Adaptive equalization (AE) is employed to improve reliability of operation under dispersive fade conditions, typically encountered over long and difficult paths.

The JF6-9558HC/6933B-9558HC (9558HC) unlicensed radio provide fast deployment of service with microwave radio. No license and small antennas (no FCC and Industry Canada (IC) requirements) allow immediate Turn-Up. The 9558HC unlicensed radio can not be upgraded to licensed.

Navigator area Figure 118: Scheduling algorithms This menu allows to change the scheduler operation. Note: The scheduling mode refers only to queue 1 to 5, because for queue 6 to 8 the scheduling mode is fixed to HQP. The scheduling mode can be DWRR or HQP. If DWRR has been selected the DWRR weight can be assigned to a specific egress queue (queue 1 to queue 5).
NE management by software application Note: the HQP mode can be associated with some queues and DWRR mode can be associated with other queues. DWRR cannot be assigned to higher-priority queues than those configured for HQP. TDM cross-connections This menu allows you to create TDM2ETH cross-connections.
