Command or Query.
Sets or returns Local or Remote state for Indoor SSPA (always in remote mode for
Outdoor SSPA) in the form x, where x=0, 1, 2, or 3::
0=Local
1=Serial
2=Ethernet
3=Ethernet (DEFAULT)
NOTE: You will always have LRS query access in any mode. The LRS command
is available in all modes as a means of acquiring control so as to limit changes
from being made on multiple interfaces at the same time. Units without a front
panel (e.g., the LPOD) treat an entry of 0 as “reserved” and refuse the command
by returning a mode error. The HTTP Interface prohibits connections unless you
set LRS to accept Ethernet remote control.
