3.1.1.2.
Low Bandwidth Monitoring Protocol
The low bandwidth monitoring protocol allows to save TCP-IP network bandwidth by sending monitoring
messages only when at least one configuration parameter or/and one status/alarm have changed.
Monitoring messages are transmitted on request or automatically at programmable time interval.
Depending on the received monitoring request, two types of monitoring tables can be transmitted:
Fixed-size monitoring tables (as per the standard monitoring protocol) containing all
parameters, status and alarms, including the ones that haven’t changed.
Variable-size monitoring tables reflecting only the parameter, status and alarm changes.
3.1.2.
Control
Configuration commands received from a Control Client allow configuring the equipment (example: change the
uplink carrier frequency on the IF Modulator) or triggering and action (example: restart the carrier acquisition
process on the IF Receiver).
A detailed description of the Graphical User Interface is available in the Cortex MCS User’s Manual. See also
Annex 1 for more details on the configuration parameters and configuration commands syntax.
Simultaneous connection of several Control Clients to the Control port is not allowed for security reasons.
