LAN MODE mode

mode:

DHCP

,

WEG

, or

STATIC

.

Command sets the IP configuration to either dynamic DHCP, "Wegener" mode, or static IP addresses.

If static, see

LAN IP

,

LAN GATEWAY

, and

LAN SUBNET

commands. Omitting the

mode

parameter shows the current mode. This is a Local Control Command (available from the
terminal regardless of "Local Control Enable/Disable" commands from the network).

Assigning "Wegener" mode IP address forces the assignment of a static IP address for testing. This

address is of the form: 172.16.xy.yy. The x is the one- or two-decimal-digit Product ID (also
called the COMPEL download ID). 'yyy' are the last (least significant) digits of the unit serial
number (most significant to left). The presumed subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 but the gateway
is not defined. As an example, if a

Unity 4600

with product ID=9 and SN=260050 is set to

"Wegener" IP address mode, it's new static IP address becomes 172.16.90.50.

To fix possible address contention, the IRD, when the application initializes, attempts to detect an IP

address conflict (using ARP). If a conflict is detected, the unit adds one hundred (decimal)
to the last field of the attempted IP address and tries again. Using the above example, if
172.16.90.50 has already been assigned on that LAN, then the IRD re-attempts with an IP
address equal to 172.16.90.150.

LAN SUBNET addr

addr:

IP address formatted as

n1:n2:n3:n4

where

n1

,

n2

,

n3

, and

n4

are integers between

0

and

255

. Note that not all values can be legal.

Command sets the IRD’s static subnet mask address. Command entries that do not assert legal IP

address masks will be rejected. Omitting the

addr

parameter shows the current static subnet

mask. This will not be the current subnet mask if dynamically assigned. Use IPCONFIG
command for that. A Local Control Command (available from the terminal regardless of
"Local Control Enable/Disable" commands from the network).

LATCHALARMS x

x:

Either

E

for Enable, or

D

for Disable.

Command enables or disables the latching of unit alarms.

LNBPWR output

output:

Either

ON

or

OFF

.

Non-volatile command enables or disables LNB DC power independently of any other settings. A Local

Control Command (available from the terminal regardless of "Local Control Enable/Disable"
commands from the network).

LNBTST voltage_range tone

voltage_range:Either

H

or

L

(for High and Low).

tone:

Either

ON

or

OFF

.

Volatile test command to force use of the ASTRA Universal LNB functions. Disable with

TESTOFF

command. A Local Control Command (available from the terminal regardless of "Local
Control Enable/Disable" commands from the network).
