Link Profile display format is as follows: Return link bit data rate in bis per second (e.g., 60000 -> 60 Kbs); Miller Value (e.g., MV_4 -> Miller 4); thus profile name M4 240K (240K becomes BLF) modulation type (PR ASK is the only one supported).
  • PIE
    - This value has no units and is either 1500 and 2000 minimum.
