Status
N/A variable length, alpha
numerical
Query only.
Query the Maintenance status of the unit in concise format. Response is semicolon delimited.
Example: <0001/CMS?
>0001/CMS=aa.a;bb.b;c.c;d.d;ee.e;ff.f;gg.g;hhh.h;iii.i;jjj.j;kkk.k;lll.l;mmm.m where,
aa.a = 28V Power Supply
bb.b = 15V Power Supply
c.c = 7.5V Power Supply
d.d = +5V Power Supply
ee.e = -5V Power Supply
ff.f = 9V or 10V RF Power Supply 1
gg.g = 9V or 10V RF Power Supply 2
hhh.h = Unit temperature 1 in deg. C
iii.i = Unit temperature 2 in deg. C
jjj.j = Isolator Load Temperature
kkk.k = Forward RF output power, in dBm
lll.l = Reverse RF output power, in dBm
mmm.m = Ref. Osc. Tuning voltage
If it is not applicable, it will display x.x
CMS? CMS=x….x

Set RTC(Real-
Time-Clock) Date
US format
DAT= 6 bytes,
numerical
Command or Query.
A command in the form mmddyy, where; dd = day of the month, between 01 and 31, mm = month
of the year, between 01 and 12 and yy = year, between 00 and 99 (2000 to 2099)
Example (date = April 25, 2003): <0001/DAT=042503’cr’
>0001/DAT=’cr’’lf’
DAT? DAT=xxxxxx
(same format as
command arguments)
Set RTC(Real-
Time-Clock) Date
DAY= 6 bytes,
numerical
Command or Query.
A command in the form ddmmyy, where; dd = day of the month, between 01 and 31, mm = month
of the year, between 01 and 12 and yy = year, between 00 and 99 (2000 to 2099)
Example (date = April 25, 2003): <0001/DAY=250403’cr’

(same format as
command arguments)
Enable
Redundancy
Switch Mode
ESW= 1 byte,
value of 0, 1, 2
Command or Query (backup unit only).
Turns ON or OFF the redundancy state, where:
0 = Off (Manual Mode)
1 = 1:1 Redundancy (Auto Mode)
2 = 1:2 Redundancy (Auto Mode)
Example: <1/ESW=1’cr’
>0001/ESW=’cr’’lf’
ESW? ESW=x
