Delay
The Step Delay feature provides a switching delay period to ensure that a
premature switch up or down in the SCPC rate does not occur due to a tempo-
rary rise or fall in traffic.
Valid range is 1–50 seconds. Default is 0 seconds.
Excess Capacity
During each SCPC Step Up/Down switch, the Excess Capacity data rate value
(%) entered here is added to the new SCPC data rate. This excess is added each
time an SCPC Step switch occurs. This setting makes additional bandwidth
available for when the demand arises while minimizing Step switching events.
Valid range is 0–100 %. Default is 0 %.
