New Features/Changes
•
New / Updated Remote Control Command
An Outdoor Unit Comms (ODU) Enable/Disable command is added for CDM-570 IF Modem only.
A front panel lockout feature has been added. Already, when in remote mode, user access of the
front panel of the modem allows viewing of the configuration parameters, but does not allow
changes to the configuration parameters. To make changes via the front panel, the user must first
configure the modem for Local control via the Remote menu. This front panel lockout (FPL)
feature, when activated, prevents or locks-out that ability to configure the modem into local mode
from the front panel.
Small Rx Buffer sizes have been added. Remote control command RBS is updated with three new
options: +/-128 bits, +/-256 bits, +/-512 bits.
With new FAST option 9980kbps max data rate added, remote control query EID is update to
reflect this new data rate option.
Refer to the following remote control command table for more detail.
