ceq

ceq 0
ceq 3
cd | ncd
Cable equalizer
No control; only used to report carrier
detected or no carrier detected.
The DMUX has only one (ceq 0) for
its HD electrical input, the MUX has
one for each SD input, 4 in total.
gpi
0
act
inact
gpi 0 inact
act | inact
Free-running vs. Locked to SD
(MUX only)
This gpi control is normally hidden to
the end user. See the ‘cal’ command
under ch. 7.3.3
. ‘act’ means that the
frequency of the HD output from the
MUX is locked to one of the SD
inputs, while ‘inact’ means that it is
free-running. By locking to incoming
SD, frequency drift is eliminated, but
glitches will occur in all 4 outputs on
the DMUX side if/when the MUX
board must change its reference to a
different SD input.

0dBm
Laser control (MUX only)
Only on/off is directly available from
Multicon. The other commands does
not affect the laser itself, they just
provide a tool to set information
about the laser fitted to the board.
C=CWDM
T=DWDM
N=None
mtx

mtx 0 0 2
size 4:4
Input/stream shuffler
mtx 0 controls which input is routed
to which stream (MUX) or which
stream is routed to each output
(DMUX).
mtx
1
mtx 0 0 2
size 4:1
Input selector (DMUX)
0: Always optical input
1: Always electrical input
2: Auto (pri optical)
3: Auto (latching)
mtx

Fallback generators (DMUX)
Do not use, not fully implemented per
SW 5.3.

Output status (DMUX)
Reports the current status of all
four outputs:
0: stream 1
1: stream 2
2: stream 3
3: stream 4
4: color bar
5: black
Note that per SW 5.3, the fallbacks
are not yet implemented and used.

cd | ncd
Pin diode status (DMUX only)
No control. Only used to report
