The commands ADDR=nn and BAUD=nn are dependent on internal dip switches being set to
Soft. If the dip switches are not set to soft the following error will occur:
>baud=4800
Error: BAUD RATE IS HARD CONFIGURED
>
>addr=55
Error: REMOTE ADDRESS IS HARD CONFIGURED
>
When a command is issued with valid parameters it will be followed by the command prompt (no
error message)
>delaydf=5
>
>mod=a
>
>dmd=b

DELAYDF = demod fault delay. The value is amount of ticks that will occur before the RCS11
considers a demod fault a true fault. A tick is equal to 20m seconds.
DELAYDN = demod non-fault delay. The value is the amount of ticks that will occur before the
RCS11 considers a demod as not faulted. If a demod faults and recovers before the demod fault
delay then the RCS11 will start counting for the demod non fault delay.
DELAYMF = mod fault delay. The value is amount of ticks that will occur before the RCS11
considers a mod fault a true fault.
DELAYMN = mod non-fault delay. The value is the amount of ticks that will occur before the
RCS11 considers a mod as not faulted. If a mod faults and recovers before the mod fault delay
then the RCS11 will start counting for the mod non fault delay.
DMD = demod. The value is the online unit. If you want to perform a manual backup of demod A
then you would enter “dmd=b”. This will cause the RCS11 to put demod B on line.
MOD = mod. The value is the online unit. If you want to perform a manual backup of mod A then
you would enter “mod=b”. This will cause the RCS11 to put mod B on line.
MODE = switching mode. Entering the command “mode=auto” will set the RCS11 to auto
switching mode.
