● Rate Limit: (For CO Mode only) User has the ability to select fixed data rate. When Rate Limit is selected, the system will lock the date rate at 50Mbps/20Mbps whenever the calculated SNR margin is higher than 9 dB. This gives best system stability. ● Target SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) Margin: (For CO Mode only) When fixed SNR margin is selected, the system will maintain the SNR margin at 9 dB across all usable loop length.
