RF Board Commands
Serial Communications, Status/Polarization Report, Tone Changes
Function:
start serial communications, reports status &
polarization/tone changes
Command:
@S
Response:
S,s,p,b,m <cr> every 5 seconds until ><cr>is
returned from system software
Where:
s = Satellite (A = Satellite A, B = Satellite B)
p = Polarization (V = Vertical, H = Horizontal,
R = Right, L = Left, X = No LNB Power)
b = Band (H = High Band, L = Low band,
G = Latin America, U = USA)
m = Mode (V = Valid, I = Invalid)*
* The Mode bit is used to evaluate the Satellite, Polarization & Band
combination vs. the Frequency/Symbol Rate/FEC currently in RAM. This
bit will be set to invalid if the Frequency for the selected combination is
set to 0x0000; otherwise it will be set to valid. For example the Mode bit
will be set to invalid when the frequency is set to 00000 to indicate that
there is not a frequency to track for the LNB tone and voltage setting.
Report RF Tracking Parameters
Function:
reports all RF tracking parameters for primary &
secondary satellites*
Command:
@SATCONFIG
Response:
F,x,fffff,S,C,ID,P,B,D<cr>
Where:
x = Satellite (A = Satellite A, B = Satellite B)
fffff = Frequency in MHz (00000 and 10700 to
12700)
S = Symbol rate in Mbit/Sec (1000 to 29999)
C = FEC code rate (valid rates = 12, 23, 34, 56,
67, 78)
ID = Satellite Network ID in hexidecimal format
(valid range = 0X0000 to 0XFFFF hex)
P = LNB Polarization (V = Vertical, H = Horizontal,
R = Right, L = Left)
B = the LNB down conversion frequency (L = low,
H = high, G = Latin America, U = USA)
D = decoding type (1 = DSS-A, 2 = DSS-B,
3 = DVB)
* This command reports all eight combinations of the Satellite/Freq/Sym/
FEC/ID/POL/Band/Decode currently stored in RAM.
