Line levels are expressed as dBm for the balanced line input and Vpp (volts
peak-to-peak) for the unbalanced line input.

Power Saving

In the Add or Edit Channel Profile dialog box, the Power Saving
tab lets you specify how power saving will be applied when the base
station is running on battery power. A graph shows the meaning of Rx cycling
and Tx keyup time. The three areas below the graph define the parameters
for Normal, Sleep, and Deep Sleep modes. Sleep and Deep Sleep modes require
a Power Saving Modes license.
Defines how the base station operates normally. Normal mode can involve a
degree of power saving.
The Sleep check box enables Sleep mode. The related group box defines how
the base station operates in Sleep mode. A base station enters Sleep mode when
the receiver has been idle for the length of time specified in the Sleep mode's
Start after box.
The Deep Sleep check box enables Deep Sleep mode. The related group box
defines how the base station operates in Deep Sleep mode. A base station in
Sleep mode enters Deep Sleep mode when the receiver has been idle for the
length of time specified in the Deep Sleep mode's Start after box.
Rx cycling is the length of time in milliseconds that the receiver is switched off
for. Usually, the receiver runs continuously, but this may not be necessary.
Power saving is effected by switching off the receiver, switching it back on to
check if there is a valid signal, switching it off again, and so on. Rx cycling is
therefore the maximum gap between periods of reception. It is slightly shorter
than the maximum detection time, by an amount that depends on system
conditions.
