Section 6 Compatible Reporting Formats
This section lists all the reporting formats that are compatible with the MX8000 receiver.
Table 6–1 shows the formats that the MX8000 receiver can decode and handshake frequency format group
that accommodates that format (see Section 5.4.6 for line card programming). Each line card can decode
every format listed below; however, a line card can be programmed to prioritize the handshake order in
which that line card will communicate.
6.1 Formats By Communication Group.
Table 6–1 shows which formats fit under the general communication groups and the corresponding
handshake frequency.
