Configuration
AUPC or “Automatic Uplink Control” operation is an OPTIONAL setting and does not need to be
configured to enable SkyWire to function. AUPC operation is designed to compensate for
UPLINK fade conditions. By default AUPC is not enabled. If a user wants to mitigate the effects
of uplink fade the SkyWire modem can be configured to do so. Note: Improper use of AUPC
can take a network down and may damage ground equipment or use excessive power on
the satellite. Read below carefully.
