Despite the equipment configuration setting, forcing the TX Mute Control to ON will
stop the transmit power of the ODU.
NOTES:
1. If Mute Control is set to off and Mute OFF does not work due to uncontrollable
factors, Mute status will remain on.
2. In case of 1+1 HS configuration, the Mute OFF control does not mute both lines.
Moreover, when forced Mute is controlled in No.1/No.2, Maintenance Mode cannot set
to OFF.
3. When TX Mute is remotely controlled, the setting of the automatic restoration time is
possible. Therefore, TX Mute Release Time should be set.
4. TX Mute Release Time is set together with TX Mute Control by the item that becomes
effective only when TX Mute Control is done from a higher-level device.
CW Control
CW (no transmission modulation) is controlled.
It is used when the frequency is measured with a frequency counter and when
spurious one is checked.
If you perform the CW control over a pre-made Mute ON, execute CW ON/OFF after
Mute OFF. At this time, when there is a factor that the CW control is not turned ON it
becomes CW control error.
In addition, in case of remote connection and operated Control CW, it may not be
able to recover again. CW Control will restore automatically according to the TX
Mute Release Time parameter.
The modulation method can be set according to the target device regardless of the
AMR Range setting.
When the TX Modulation Manual Control setting is returned from Manual to Auto,
the fixed modulation method is returned to QPSK.
Performing this function (Manual Control) sets the Maintenance Mode to ON.
However, in case of Auto setting and if Maintenance Mode is set to OFF, it will
cancel the "auto setting."
