Command or Query.
Sets or returns Local or Remote state for Indoor SSPA (always in remote mode for Outdoor SSPA) in the form x,
where x=0, 1, 2, or 3::
0=Local
1=Serial
2=Ethernet
3=Serial+Ethernet (DEFAULT)
NOTE: You will always have LRS query access in any mode. The LRS command is available in all modes as a means
of acquiring control so as to limit changes from being made on multiple interfaces at the same time. Units without
a front panel (e.g., the LPOD) treat an entry of 0 as "reserved" and refuse the command by returning a mode
error. The HTTP Interface prohibits connections unless you set LRS to accept Ethernet remote control.
COMMAND EXAMPLE: <0001/LRS=3{CR}
17 bytes
Query only.
Returns the read-only MAC address of the unit, in hexadecimal format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
EXAMPLE: <0001/MAC?{CR}
>0001/MAC=00-06-B0-00-D2-A7{CR}{LF}
272 bytes
Query only.
Returns the maximum operating point of the unit along with its timestamp in the reply format:
MAXFET=sYYYC mmddyy hhmmss{CR}
MINFET=sYYYC mmddyy hhmmss{CR}
MAXPFT=sYYYC mmddyy hhmmss{CR}
MAXDTP=sYYYC mmddyy hhmmss{CR}
MAXHTS=sYYYC mmddyy hhmmss{CR}
MINHTS=sYYYC mmddyy hhmmss{CR}
MAXOST=sYYYC mmddyy hhmmss{CR}
MAXRFP=sZZ.ZZ mmddyy hhmmss{CR}
MINRFP=sZZ.ZZ mmddyy hhmmss{CR}
Where:
sYYYC is the temperature
sZZ.ZZ is the power
NOTE: Not all LPODs have outside temperature monitor. In which case MAXOST and MINOST report XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX
EXAMPLE: <0001/MOP?{CR}
>0001/mop={CR}
