with the modem.
PROTOCOL
*
I/O CONSOLE:
is a protocol for interchanging of information (GPS Out, TX mute, and
modem lock) between the ACU (through Console port) and a modem.
OPEN AMIP:
is an ASCII based protocol developed by iDirect for interchanging of
information between the ACU and a modem. OpenAMIP is not intended for any purpose
except to allow the ACU and a modem to perform synchronized automatic beam
switching (ABS).
SERIAL GPS:
is a protocol for sending GPS Out information from the ACU (through
RS232/422 port) to a modem.
ROSS:
ROSS Open Antenna Management (ROAM) protocol is developed by Comtech
EF Data Cooperation to offer common management interface for Comtech EF Data's
Roaming Oceanic Satellite Server (ROSS) and ACU.
VACP:
is the interface between the SatLink mobile VSAT IDU and the Intellian antenna
controllers for Intellian mobile antennas.
ELEKTRIKOM-AMIP:
is the interface using extended OpenAmip including the console
port (modem lock) between the electrikom ROAM-PC and the Intellian controller.
GILAT-SE-II:
is a protocol that generates between the Gilat SkyEdge modem and the
Intellian antenna controllers two-channel interfacing based on the NMEA 0183 data
protocol. The interfacing occurs via RS232 serial port at 9600-N-8-1 baud.
