the EDMAC mode, the framing must be set for EDMAC, EDMAC-2 or D&I++.

An EDMAC Master is a modem which is local to the M&C computer, and which passes
messages, via the overhead, to a distant-end modem. The Master address will always end in
0.
•
An EDMAC Slave is a modem that is not local to the M&C computer. It is at the ‘distant-
end’ of a satellite link. The Slave EDMAC address will always end in 1. When configured
as a Slave, re-configuration is expected to be via the EDMAC link, and hence is not
permitted via the front panel or via serial remote control.
