Description of Arguments
(Note that all arguments are printable ASCII characters)
Command or Query.
Sets or returns alarm mask conditions in the form abcde, where:
0 = Fault, 1 = Alarm, 2 = Masked
a = Low Forward RF Power
b = External Reference Lock detect
c = Fan Speed
d = LNB Current Detect
e = LNB 22V Power Supply
Default value: 22111
Example: <1/MSK=22111'cr'
>0001/MSK=1'cr''lf'
Command or Query.
Sets or return the unit mute state in the form x, where:
0 = Disable (Not Muted)
1 = Enable (Muted) (default value)
2 = Unit muted due to AUX mute signal (see Note)
Note: This value is only shown in the response to a query, and cannot be given as a command. When MUT
returns a '2' it indicates that one of the "hardware" mute conditions is present. For example, an auxiliary mute
could be present if the auxiliary mute has been enabled, and the signal to unmute the unit is not provided.
Additionally, certain faults can generate a hardware mute such as the BUC lock detect, the LNB current draw (if
enabled by the user), or the LNB voltage (if enabled by the user). If MUT returns an unexpected value of '2'
then check the active faults and the status of the auxiliary mute.
Example: <1/MUT=1'cr'
>0001/MUT=1'cr''lf'
Query only.
Returns the number, in the form xxx, of unread stored events
Example: <1/NUE?'cr'
>0001/NUE=126'cr''lf'
Query only.
Returns the number, in the form xxx, of unread stored statistics
Example: NUS=126
