CDM-710 Satellite Modulator
Remote Control
The MGC command can be used to configure the whole modem or parts of the modem. This command also contains spare bytes for future
development, but the length of the command is fixed to 255 bytes. The MGC command can be used on modulator-only units, demodulator-only units, and
modem units.
The format for the response to the MGC query/command is as follows:
MGC=TRUSI[Tx Block][Rx Block][Unit Block][Interface Block].
For a query, the first 5 bytes indicates whether the corresponding block is present in the response:
T – 'T' if transmit block is present in the response, '0' means the block is not present and 'x's are returned.
R – 'R' if receive block is present in the response, '0' means the block is not present and 'x's are returned.
U – 'U' if unit block is present in the response, '0' means the block is not present and 'x's are returned.
S – Indicates which interface slot is enabled. '1' indicates that slot 1 is enabled. '2' indicates that slot 2 is enabled.
I – Indicates the interface type for the interface block. '1' indicates ASI, '2' indicates Gigabit Ethernet interface, '3' indicates HSSI.
For a set command, the first 5 bytes indicates whether the corresponding block should be reprogrammed:
T – 'T' if transmit configuration should be changed, '0' means the Tx configuration should be skipped over.
R – 'R' if receive configuration should be changed, '0' means the Rx configuration should be skipped over.
U – 'U' if unit configuration should be changed, '0' means the unit configuration should be skipped over.
S – Indicates which slot should be enabled. '1' indicates that slot 1 should be enabled. '2' indicates that slot 2 should be enabled.
I – Indicates the interface type for the interface block. '1' indicates ASI, '2' indicates Gigabit Ethernet interface, '3' indicates HSSI.
