Embedded Distant-end Monitor And Control (EDMAC) is a Comtech-proprietary framing that
permits communication access to the distant-end modem. In order to edit the EDMAC mode,
the framing must be set for EDMAC, EDMAC-2, EDMAC-3, or D&I++.
EDMAC Mode= Master (Idle,Master,Slave)
EDMAC Address= 0020 ()
Use the ▲▼ arrow keys to select the mode as Idle, Master, or Slave, and then press ENTER.
If the mode is Master or Slave, the bottom line shows an address. To edit the address, use the
◄ ► arrow keys to select a digit to edit, and then use the ▲▼ arrow keys to change that digit.
Press ENTER when done. Note the following:
• An EDMAC Master is a modem that is local to the M&C computer, and which passes
messages, via the overhead, to a distant-end modem. The Master address always ends in
‘0’.
• An EDMAC Slave is a modem that is not local to the M&C computer. It is at the ‘distant-end’
of a satellite link. The Slave EDMAC address always ends in ‘1’. When configured as a Slave,
reconfiguration is expected to be via the EDMAC link, and is therefore not permitted via the
front panel or via serial remote control.
