CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module
Serial Remote Control
Command Arguments
Parameter (Instruction for Command
Type Code and or Response
Qualifier)
Rx BER N/A 5 bytes
Redundancy N/A 1 byte, value
State of 0 or 1
Outdoor Unit ODU= 1 byte, value
Comms Enable of 0 or 1
Front Panel FPL= 1 byte, value
Lockout of 0 or 1
Local/Remote LRS= 1 byte, value
Status of 0, 1 or 3
Description of Arguments
to Query
Query only.
Unit returns the value of the estimated corrected BER in the form
-c
a.b x 10 . First three bytes are the value. Last two bytes are the
exponent. Returns 99999 if the demodulator is unlocked.
Example: BER=4.8E3 (which is BER = 4.8 x 10
Query only.
Unit returns the redundancy state of the unit, where
0=Offline
1=Online
Example: RED=1 (which is Online)
Command or Query. CDM-570 Only
Enables or disables communications, via the FSK link, with a
Comtech EF Data transceiver (ODU), where:
0=Disabled
1=Enabled
Example: ODU=0 (selects Disabled)
Command or Query.
Control the state of front panel lockout, where:
0=no lockout
1=front panel lockout active
Disable the lockout by either FPL=0, or by setting into local mode
using LRS=0 (response is LRS+ meaning FPL is disabled at the
same time)
Command or Query.
Local/Remote status, where:
0=Local
1=Serial Remote
3 = Ethernet Remote
Example: LRS=1 (which is Serial Remote)
