3.10.8.9 — Link identifier
The number of microwave links, especially in urban areas, might cause interference during
installation and the turn-up phase.
The digital frame incorporates link identity coding capabilities to prevent the capture of an

The following loopbacks are provided by the MPT-HC/HC-HQAM/MC/XP/XP-HQAM:

Awareness block (after compression) to the input of the Rx data awareness block
(decompression). This is an internal loopback.
• It is a Loop and Continue loopback. It is possible to enable this loopback only at
aggregate level.
When this loopback is activated, the behavior is as follows:
