Retrieve
Alarm Status N/A N/A 53 bytes
alphanumeric
Query only.
Used to Query the Alarm status of the unit.
Example: RAS=’cr’
P24VT=OK’cr’
P5VLT=OK’cr’
SSPA1=OK’cr’
SSPA2=OK’cr’
XXXXX=OK’cr’
SW1FT=OK’cr’
SW2FT=OK’’cr’’lf’
Note: XXXXX = reserved
N/A RAS?

Retrieve
Configuration
Status N/A N/A 33 bytes
alphanumeric
Query only.
Used to Query the configuration status.
Example: RCS=’cr’
ATT=12.75’cr’
AMP=1’cr’
MUT=1’cr’
PCM=1,0’cr’
FLT=0,0,X’cr’’lf’ where:
ATT= attenuation in dB
AMP= RF power amplifier state, 0=OFF, 1=ON
MUT=RF mute state, 0=unmuted, 1=muted
PCM=Redundancy/Phase Combined mode,
0 = off
1 = 1:1 phase combine
2 = 1:2 phase combine (future)
3 = reserved
4 = reserved
FLT=X,Y,Z -> SSPAs fault state
X = SSPA#1 (1=faulted, 0=unfaulted)
Y = SSPA#2 (1=faulted, 0=unfaulted)
Z = reserved (X)
N/A RCS?
