Chapter 2. Eclipse Terminals
Capacity and Bandwidth Options
Depending on the IDU/ODU and its capacity/bandwidth options, modulation rates are
programmed for QPSK, 16 QAM, 32 QAM, 64 QAM, or 128 QAM:
• QPSK is supported on all 300 series PDH IDUs.
• 16QAM is supported on IDU 300 8x, IDU 300 20x, IDU 300 20xV2.
• Higher QAM (to 128 QAM) is supported on IDU 300 20xV2, IDU 155o (requires
ODU 300ep or ODU 300hp).
Table 2-2, "IDU PDH System Options: ETSI," on page 2 lists the ETSI capacity,
modulation, and bandwidth options for PDH IDUs.
Table 2-3, "IDU PDH System Options: ANSI," on page 3 lists capacity, modulation, and
bandwidth options for North American (ANSI) Common Carrier PDH IDUs.
Table 2-4, "IDU 155o System Options," on page 4 lists ETSI and ANSI capacity,
modulation, and bandwidth options for IDU 155o.
