CONFIG: EDMAC

Appendix H. EDMAC CHANNEL
Embedded Distant-end Monitor And Control (EDMAC) is a Comtech-proprietary framing that
permits communication access to the distant-end modem.
Without the proper active framing mode, the menu appears as follows:
EDMAC Mode= Idle
You must otherwise use the CONFIG: Mode menu to set framing for EDMAC, EDMAC-2, EDMAC-
3, or D&I++.
With the proper active framing mode, the menu appears as follows:
EDMAC Mode= Master (Idle,Master,Slave)
EDMAC Address= 0020
Use the arrow keys to select the mode as Idle, Master, or Slave. Press ENTER.
▲▼
If the mode is Master or Slave, the bottom line shows an address. To edit the address, use the
◄ ► arrow keys to select a digit, and then use the
ENTER.
Note that:
•
An EDMAC Master is a modem that is local to the M&C computer, and which passes
messages, via the overhead, to a distant-end modem. The Master address always ends in
'0'.
•
An EDMAC Slave is a modem that is not local to the M&C computer. It is at the 'distant-end'
of a satellite link. The Slave EDMAC address always ends in '1'. When configured as a Slave,
reconfiguration is expected to be via the EDMAC link, and is therefore not permitted via the
front panel or via serial remote control.
