or Query
1 byte
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the Redundancy Online status in the form x, where:
0=Offline (Query only) (SEE NOTE 2)
1=Online
NOTES:
1) The ONL query always returns an online response if the unit is not running in
redundancy mode. If redundancy is enabled then the query will indicate the
position of the Tx waveguide switch that enables one of the units to be
connected to the antenna.
2) Sending ONL=0 will not generate a syntax error; however setting ONL to zero
will not cause the unit to go offline. The online status is determined by the Tx
waveguide redundancy switch position, and only the offline unit may drive the
switches. Instead of sending ONL=0 to the online unit the ONL=1 command
should be sent to the offline unit to generate a redundancy switchover.
COMMAND EXAMPLE: <0001/ONL=1{CR}

alphanumeric
Returns the Comtech EF Data part number of the unit. This part number is the
unit's DOTCODE at the time of manufacture. The DOTCODE may be up to 96
printable ASCII characters long.
EXAMPLE: <0001/PNM?{CR}
>0001/PNM=HPODC0.350WRSW00{CR}{LF}
