Number of data messages received by the satellite router.
Percentage of received frames determined to be corrupted. Any
number greater than zero indicates a problem except when adverse
weather conditions are present. Frames may be corrupted in adverse
weather conditions or if there is a problem with the receive cable or
antenna assembly.
Percentage of received frames that could not be decrypted
successfully. All data received over the satellite is encrypted. Any
number greater than zero indicates a problem except when adverse
weather conditions are present. Bad key frames may indicate that the
router is not commissioned.
Level of encoding the router can accept based on the current signal
quality. Lower Modcod numbers are used if signal impairments such as
rain are present. Adaptive coding and modulation (Modcod) is a
Hughes-developed technique that maximizes over-the-air bandwidth
utilization.
