Return Link and Daisy Chain Modes

The receiver can operate in one of two modes (or both modes can be disabled):

Return link mode

 — The receiver outputs data on its Tx connector for return to the transmitter.

Daisy chain mode

 — The receiver daisy-chains its Rx connector input through to its Tx connector output.

Use SIS commands to toggle between return disable, normal, daisy chain modes. Connect a PC to the receiver and issue the following 
command:   

66*0*

n#
