The Application Identification (AID)
command allows a free form message to
be created. It is intended to identify either
the satellite transponder, beam,
destination or other aspects of the
application that may be significant to
operations. The message length
corresponds to capability of the LCD and
is 48 characters in total. The second line
begins at character 25, therefore, blanks
must be used after line 1 information in
order to space to line 2. A carriage return
ends the command. Trailing blanks will be
generated to fill the LCD field. The AID
display will alternate with the Equipment
type display by use of the clear function
key on the front panel. The default is "AID
MESSAGE."
Where: x= 0 for Local or 1 for Remote
Where: xxx = On or Off
The default is On.
The Comtech EF Data KPA provides the user
direct control of the 9VDC supply voltage to
the solid-state RF power FETs. This feature
provides the ability to put the KPA into a low
power consumption mode when the unit is
offline.
Where: xxx = On or Off
The default is On.
The user is provider output mute control via
the remote interface using this command.
