Remote Control Operation

MN/SDM300L3.IOM

A–15

Recall
Modem
Config.

Command:
Response:

>add/RMC_n'cr''lf']

Where: n = 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (stored configuration number).
This command causes the modem to be reprogrammed
with configuration parameters previously saved using the
'SMC_' command. One of five saved configurations can
be specified.

Local
Modem
AUPC
Mode

Command:
Response:
Status:
Response:

>add/LMA_xxx'cr''lf']
>add/LMA_xxx'cr''lf']

Where: xxx = ON or OFF.
This command configures the modem for the LOCAL
MODEM AUPC mode. When 'ON' is selected, the AUPC
configuration can be entered.

RTS TX-IF
Control
Mode

Command:
Response:
Status:
Response:

>add/RTSM_xxx'cr''lf']
>add/RTSM_xxx'cr''lf']

Where: xxx = ON or OFF.
This command configures the modem for the RTS TX-IF
control mode. If 'ON' is selected, the TX-IF output will only
be turned on if the incoming RTS signal is asserted (also
the TX-IF output has to be programmed ON and no major
modulator faults are present). If 'OFF' is selected, the TX-
IF output will operate normal ignoring the RTS signal.

RF Mode
Control

Command:
Response:
Status:
Response:

>add/RFMD_xxxx'cr''lf']
>add/RFMD_xxxx'cr''lf']

Where: xxxx = NRM (Normal Mode), PWR (Turn RF off on
power up), COMM (Turn RF off on power up and loss of
remote communications after 10 seconds), CD (Turn RF
ON when carrier is detected, turn RF OFF when no carrier
is detected. For the RF ON condition, the TX-IF must be
programmed ON. Note: RTS TX-IF, when enabled over-
rides CD).

This command allows for the RF output to be enabled or
disabled depending on the following described conditions.
One application for this command will be in demand
network systems.

A.3.5

Automatic Uplink Power Control (AUPC)

AUPC Local
Enable

Command:
Response:
Status:
Response:

>add/LPC_xxx'cr''lf']
>add/LPC_xxx'cr''lf']

Where: xxx = ON or OFF.

Notes:

1. When programmed ON, the MOP (Modulator

Output Power) command is not allowed, only MOP
status is allowed.

3.

ASYNC or AUPC Overhead only.

AUPC
Nominal
Power Level

Command:
Response:
Status:
Response:

>add/NOMP_snn.n'cr''lf']
>add/NOMP_snn.n'cr''lf']

Where: snn.n = -30.0 to -5.0, in 0.1 steps (nominal range
in dBm).

Notes:

1. The nominal power range is modified relative to

the value specified by the modulator power offset
(MPO_).

2. ASYNC or AUPC Overhead only.

AUPC
Maximum
Power Limit

Command:
Response:
Status:
Response:

>add/MAXP_snn.n'cr''lf']
>add/MAXP_snn.n'cr''lf']

Where: snn.n = -30.0 to -5.0, in 0.1 steps (nominal range
in dBm).

Notes:

1. The nominal power range is modified relative to

the value specified by the modulator power offset
(MPO_).

2. ASYNC or AUPC Overhead only.
