Command or query
A command in the form ddmmyy, where; dd = day of the
month, between 01 and 31, mm = month of the year,
between 01 and 12 and yy = year, between 97 and 96 (1997
to 2000, then 2000 to 2096) Example: DAY=240457 would
be April 24, 2057

Set RTC
Time
TIM=
6 bytes,
numerical
Command or query
A command in the form hhmmss, indicating the time from
midnight, where hh = hours, between 00 and 23; mm =
minutes, between 00 and 59, and ss = seconds, between
00 and 59
Example: TIM=231259 would be 23 hours, 12 minutes and
59 seconds from midnight.

Bridged or
Backup
Modem
Number
BBU=
3 bytes,
numerical
Command or Query.
Sets or queries the bridged/backup state with the 1 byte,
followed by the selected TM to be acted on:
1 byte: 0= bridged, 1= backup (this can only be set to 1
when in manual mode)
last 2 bytes: 01-10 for selected TM

Active
Modems
ACT=
10 bytes,
numerical
Command or Query.
Sets or queries the desired state of all 10 traffic modems:

Active
Modem
Query
N/A
10 bytes,
numerical
Query only
Returns the state of all 10 traffic modems, which is usually
that set by ACT, but possibly overruled by current
0 = TMI not present (cannot be activated)
1 = TMI present but switch unable to get a configuration
for that modem due to remote comm or other error
(also cannot be activated)
2 = TMI present and modem available, but currently
inactive
3 = TMI present and modem available, and currently active
N/A

Backup
Holdoff
Time
BKH=
2 bytes
numerical,
Command or Query.
Sets or queries the backup holdoff delay time used when
auto mode prepares to backup a faulted modem:
02-99 = # of seconds delay after redundant modem has
acquired traffic modem’s configuration before online swap
actually takes place
