LNA Current
Source
(BDC only)
LCS= 1 byte Command or Query.
Enables or Disables the LNA current source.
Note: LCS must be enabl ed before the LNA current can be calibrated with the CLC command.
LCS is always off in the redundancy mode.
0 = Disable
1 = Enable
Default Value: 0
Example: <1/LCS=1’cr’
>0001/LCS=’cr’’lf’

LNA Current
Window
(BDC only)
LCW= 2 bytes Command or Query.
Allows the user to set the alarm window in % of the calibrated LNA Current. Valid inputs are 20
to 50 in increments of 1%.
Default Value: 30
Example: To set the alarm window to 30%:
<1/LCW=30’cr’
>0001/LCW=’cr’’lf’

Low Forward
Power
Threshold
(Only for the
converter which
supports power
monitor)
LPT= 5 bytes Command or Query.
Allows the user to set the threshold for the low forward power alarm/fault in dBm. If the forward
power drops below the specified value (while the unit is online, unmuted and PLL locked), the
alarm/fault will be i ndicated. Setting t his param eter to -20.0 effectively disables the threshold.
Valid values for this par ameter ar e be tween the uni t’s specified P1dB power level, and P 1dB
minus 19dB. For example, for a u nit with +12dBm at P1dB, the range would be + 12.0 to -7.0
dBm.
Default Value: -20.0
Example: <2/LPT=+10.0’cr’
>0002/LPT=’cr’’lf’
Note: This command can only be queried for the offline unit in the redundancy mode.

Mute State MUT= 1 byte Command or Query.
Mutes the unit, where:
0 = Disabled (Not Muted)
1 = Enabled (Muted)
Default Value: 0
Example: <2/MUT=1’cr’
>0002/MUT=1’cr’’lf’
Note: Mute State cannot be changed for the offline unit when in redundancy mode.
