Example for MBT-04000 base unit:
<0001/CCS?{cr}
>0001/CCS=aa,bb,cc,dd,e,ff,g,h{cr}{lf}
Where:
aa=Frequency band for Unit 1 BXC (‘C”, ‘X”, ‘Ka’, ‘Ku’, or ‘NA’)
bb=NA
cc=Direction for Unit 1 BXC (‘DN’=BDC, ‘UP’=BUC, ‘NA’=None)
dd=NA
e=Redundancy mode (0, 1, or 2)
ff=Automatic mode
g=Redundancy loop cable address
N=No Cable
A=MBT-A
B=MBT-B
h=External reference lock (1=locked, 0=Not locked)
Example BDC or BUC:
<0001A1/CCS?{cr}{lf}

,i,j,{CR}{lf}
Where:
aaaaa=Frequency in MHz
bb.bb=Attenuation in dB
c=mute state, 0=unmated, 1=muted
d.d=slope adjust
e=LNA current source (BDC only, BUC=X)
ff=LNA current window (BDC only, BUC=XX)
g=LNA fault logic (BDC only, BUC=X)
hhhh=XXXX (reserved for future use)
