Using the Equipment
3.6.2
Over-Air Control (OAC) Lockout
When the unit is in OAC control mode, it is possible for the remote control operator
to issue a local lockout command to the IRD. This will effectively deny the local user
access to configuring the unit.
However, if a situation occurs whereby the local user needs to regain control over
the unit without a local lockout relinquish command being sent from the OAC control
PC, a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) may be entered through the
front panel.
If the PIN is unknown it is possible to recover the PIN from the front panel. For more
details on reseting the local lock out PIN, contact Ericsson.
The user creates the PIN at lockout time. To obtain the PIN, please consult the
person responsible for the administration of the unit.
3.7
RS232/485 RCP
RS232/485 Remote Control Protocol (RCP) is only available as an option card on
the RX8200 IRD.
This enables control of the unit through the RS232/485 serial connector on the rear
panel of the unit, using Ericsson's proprietary remote control protocol. This feature
allows customers, who may be upgrading their current systems to the RX8000
series, to continue using their current scripts for IRD control.
For more detailed information about RS232/485 RCP remote control protocols,
contact Ericsson.
3.8
Local Control Lockout
Common for all control methods is that the equipment can still be controlled locally
from the front panel interface unless the front panel is disabled. This can be
achieved either:
•
•
When front panel lockout is set to ON / ENABLE, the user can still browse and
navigate the front panel menus. However, none of the menu items can be edited
(except for Menu 1.8.1 to enable/disable front panel lockout). The LCD will continue
to display summary information screens.
3-30
Locally using the front panel menu 1.8.1 FRONT PANEL LOCKOUT to prevent
local control from being re-established.
Remotely using the appropriate remote command, depending on the remote
control method being used.
Caution!
