Query
Command or Query.
For 1:2 systems only (sent only to the BU unit).
Force one of the online units to be a backed up for maintenance and test purposes, in the form
x, where:
0 = Force BU OFFLINE and place system in AUTO mode.
1 = Force SSPA 1 OFFLINE and place system in MANUAL mode.
2 = Force SSPA 2 OFFLINE and place system in MANUAL mode.
Query only.
For 1:1 systems only (sent to both units).
Returns the online status in the form x, where:
0 = OFFLINE
1 = ONLINE
Command or Query.
For 1:1 systems only (sent to both units).
Sets or returns redundancy mode in the form x, where:
0 = MANUAL
1 = AUTO
Query only.
Returns the current redundancy state in the form x, where:
0 = OFF
1 = 1:1 Redundancy
2 = 1:2 Redundancy
Command only.
For 1:1 systems only(sent to either unit):
Only used when system is in MANUAL redundancy mode (RAM=0, both units).
Forces switch position in the form x, where:
1 = Forces switch to put SSPA 1 online
2 = Forces switch to put SSPA 2 online
Command or Query.
Set or query the adjusted attenuation level, in 0.25 dB increments, in a 1:1 redundancy system
so power is equal between the online and offline units when a switchover occurs, in the form
xx.xx.
Example: GOF=02.00'cr'
Command or Query.
Set or query the adjusted attenuation level, in 0.25 dB increments, in a 1:2 redundancy system
so power is equal between the online and offline units when a switchover occurs. In the form
#,xx.xx where:
# = 1 or 2
xx.xx = level, in 0.25 dB increments
Examples: SBO=1,02.00'cr' or SBO=2,02.50'cr'
