Arguments for
Command or
Query
5 bytes
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the alarm mask conditions in the form abcde where:
a=Low Forward RF Power
b=External Reference Lock detect
c=Fan Speed
d=LNB Current Detect
e=LNB 22V Power Supply
TYPICAL FOR EACH PARAMETER: 0=Fault, 1=Alarm, 2=Masked
NOTES:
1) Default value: 22111
2) If the value is set to 'Fault' (MSK=0) for a parameter, then the fault condition will be logged as a fault if
specified hardware conditions are not met.
3) If the mask value is set to 'Alarm' (MSK=1), then the fault condition will only log as an alarm.
4) If the mask value is set to 'Masked' (MSK=2), then the fault condition will not be reported to the user.
COMMAND EXAMPLE: <0001/MSK=22111{CR}
1 byte
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the unit muting in the form x, where:
0=Disable (Not Muted)
1=Enable (Muted) (DEFAULT)
2=Unit muted due to HW mute signal (SEE NOTE)
NOTE: This value is only shown in the response to a query, and cannot be issued as a command. When MUT=2
this means that one of the "hardware" mute conditions is present. Additionally, certain faults can generate a
hardware mute, e.g., BUC Lock Detect. If MUT=2, you must check the active faults and the status of the auxiliary
mute.
