In many cases, the commands shown here can be used in two ways:
• Type
only
the command name to view the currently programmed
data.
• Set or change the existing data by typing the command, followed
by a space, and then the desired entry.
In the list below, allowable programming variables, if any, are shown in
brackets following the command name.
Authorization Key
AK
The transceiver’s feature set may be expanded (if all features are not
currently enabled) by entering a new authorization key, which can be
purchased from GE MDS. Contact the factory to obtain a new Authori-
zation Key.
ALARM
Alarm Summary
The
ALARM
command displays a summary of the radio’s current oper-
ating condition. An eight-digit code is presented which can be decoded
as described in “Major Alarms vs. Minor Alarms” on Page 41.
AMASK [0000 0000–FFFF FFFF]
Alarm Mask
The
AMASK
command displays or sets which events cause an alarm
output signal to be active. Normally, the mask is
FFFF FFFF
, meaning that
any of the 32 possible events will activate the alarm output signal.
Entering the
AMASK
command alone displays the current setting of alarm
events in hexadecimal format.
Entering the
AMASK
command followed by an eight-digit hexadecimal
number reprograms the specified events to trigger an alarm.
The eight-digit hexadecimal number used as the command parameter
specifies 0 to 32 events that can trigger the external alarm output. (See
Table 14 on Page 41 for a list of events.) The hex value for the mask cor-
responds to the hex value for the
STAT
command (Page 38). Each bit that
is a ‘1’ identifies an alarm condition that can trigger the external output.
For more information on configuring the alarm response, contact GE
MDS
.
ASENSE [HI, LO]
Alarm Sense
The
ASENSE
command sets or displays the sense of the alarm output at
Pin 6 of the
COM2
port.
Entering the
ASENSE
command alone shows whether the alarm output is
active high or low. Entering the
ASENSE
command followed by
HI
or
LO
resets the alarm output to active high or low.
