This chapter describes the protocol and message command set for remote monitor and control of the modem. The electrical interface is an EIA-232 connection (for the control of a single device), and data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form using ASCII characters.
  • Page 96 SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 All data is transmitted in framed packets. The Controller is assumed to be a PC or ASCII dumb terminal, which is in charge of the process of monitor and control. The Controller is the only device which is permitted to initiate, at will, the transmission of data. Targets are only permitted to transmit when they have been specifically instructed to do so by the Controller.

  • Page 165: Sources Of Overhead

    SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 Sources of Overhead C.3.1 Framing Overhead Several modes of operation add framing overhead to the satellite channel. C.3.1.1 AUPC Framing AUPC overhead channel is referred to as “Operand 3” in Section C.2: • The AUPC communications channel also supports modem-to-modem receiver signal Eb/No status used to automatically adjust the Tx uplink power when (AUPC Power Control) is enabled.

    SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 See RFC 4814 “Hash and Stuffing: Overlooked Factors in Network Device Benchmarking” for a derivation of this probability. Considering both sources of HDLC Overhead means that, for a packet length “ ”, the ratio of input bits to encapsulated output bits is expressed as “Equation 2”: =L/[L+3+L/62] = L/[(63/62)L+3] Unlike framing overhead, HDLC Overhead reduces the effective throughput of packet bits relative...
