Command or Query.

Sets or returns muting for offline unit when in redundancy mode in the form

um, where:

u=1 (Unit 1) or 2 (Unit 2)

m=0 (Manual ) or (Automatic)

Note: The offline unit must start out as online for this command.

Where:

OFM=10 would be existing behavior for the block in Slot 1.

OFM=11 would force a mute of the block in slot one if Slot 1 is offline as

indicated by the switch position(blinking yellow or red LED). It would force

an "un- mute" of the block in Slot 1 if slot one is online and not faulted as

indicated by the switch position(steady green LED).

OFM=20 would be existing behavior for the block in Slot 2.

OFM=21 would force a mute of the block in Slot 1 if Slot 2 is offline as

indicated by the switch position(blinking yellow or red LED). It would force

an "un- mute" of the block in slot two if Slot 2 is online and not faulted as

indicated by the switch position(steady green LED).

These settings would be kept in NVRAM and would come from the factory

as "OFM=10" and "OFM=20"

Also, the offline unit must not be muted during this time.

The offline unit has to be set for online, otherwise the OFM command won't

work properly.
