5.19 Bulk Consolidated Anolog Status
This command is similar to the “BCS_” command but, returns MODEM anolog
parameters.
Command:
Response: >add/BCAS_p1,p2,p3, . . . pn”cr””lf”]
Where “pn” is the last parameter returned.
Parameter 1 (p1): Receive signal level.
p1 = -nn, where “nn” is the value of the receive signal level in dBm.
Parameter 2 (p2): Raw BER.
p2 = nnnnE-4, where “nnnn” is the raw bit errors in 10000 bits.
Parameter 3 (p3): Corrected BER.
p3 = nE-e, where “n” is the mantissa and “e” is exponent (power of 10).
Parameter 4 (p4): EB/N0.
p4 = n.n, where “n.n” is EB/N0 in dB.
Parameter 5 (p5): Interface Read Error Status.
p5 = xxxx_n.nE-e, where “xxxx_n.nE-e” is the read error status as defined in this document.
Parameter 6 (p6): Buffer Fill Status.
p6 = nn%, where “nn%” is the buffer fill status.
*Note: Parameters 1 through 6 are dependent on carrier acquisition, if the decoder is not
locked empty data blocks are returned (,,,,,).
5.20 Change Status
This command indicates that a change has or has not occurred on either the BCS_ or the
BCSF_ response since the last BCS_ or BCSF_ poll.
Command:
Response: >add/CS_x”cr””lf”]
The “x” character is defined as follows:
“at” = no change since last CS_ poll
“A” = BCS_ response has changed since last CS_ poll
“B” = BCSF_ response has changed since last CS_ poll
“C” = Both responses have changed since last CS_ poll
5.21 Equipment Type
This command returns the equipment model number and M&C firmware
version number.
Command:
Response: >add/ET_SDM308-5_x.xx”cr””lf”]
