SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 Chapter 7. REMOTE CONTROL Overview This chapter applies to both the SLM-5650C and the SLM-5650C-ODU. 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.
SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 7.4.2 Target Address This value is fixed to 0. The Controller sends a packet with the address of a Target – the destination of the packet. When the Target responds, the address used is the same address, to indicate to the Controller the source of the packet. The Controller does not have its own address.
SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 7.4.5 Instruction Code Qualifier 1. From Controller-to-Target, the only permitted values are: Symbol Definition The ‘=’ code is used as the Assignment Operator (AO) and is used to indicate that the parameter defined by the preceding byte should (ASCII code 61) be set to the value of the argument (s) which follow it.
SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 Symbol Definition EXAMPLE: 0001/RET~ (indicating that it had finished waiting for a response and was now ready for further comms). If the Controller sends a correctly formatted command BUT the modem is in Ethernet Remote mode, it will not allow reconfiguration, (ASCI code 94) and will respond with TFQ^.
SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 Remote Commands / Queries 7.5.1 Table Indexes Index Notes: Where Column ‘C’ = Command and Column ‘Q’ = Query, columns marked ‘X’ designate instruction code as Command only, Query only, or Command/Query. Under CODE, XXX indicates a priority command; XXX indicates a command/query valid only when the modem type has been set to AUPC;...
SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 7.5.2 Initial Setup – Priority Commands / Queries Before executing any Modem, Unit, Bulk/Global, AUPC, or Optional Interface commands/queries, initial setup should be accomplished with these three commands, prioritized as follows: (Highest Priority) MOM, RFB, ITF (Lowest Priority). Priority commands are indicated by shading throughout these sections.

SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 A.3.2.1 Tx Waveform Check Step Task Use a spectrum analyzer to check the Tx modulated waveform. Figure A-4 shows proper waveform output of the Tx RF path for block up converters, splitters, or high-powered amplifiers.
SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 A.3.2.2 Rx Waveform Check Step Task Use a spectrum analyzer to check the Rx modulated waveform. The Rx waveform displays the following when receiving a signal from a satellite system: A raised noise floor that obscures the low shoulders, similar to Figure A-4. A flat top without any slope or distortion.
SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 A.3.3 Modem Demodulator Constellations View the modem demodulator constellations by using the IQ Mon application on the user computer. The IQ Mon uses the modem ethernet management connection to retrieve the constellation information. Typical constellation patterns are shown in Figure A-5 through Figure A-10. Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) is a measure of how far the points are from the ideal quadrature locations.
SLM-5650C / SLM-5650C-ODU Satellite Modem Revision 1 Fault Isolation Faults are displayed on the Modem Status page and the Modem Event Log page. They are in Hexadecimal format and are hyperlinked to a description. Click on the fault code and a pop up will show the fault condition.

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...
