Description
Master
An EDMAC Master is a unit that is local to the M&C computer, and which passes messages,
via the overhead, to a distant-end modem.
Slave
An EDMAC Slave is a unit that is not local to the M&C computer; it is located at the distant-
end of a satellite link.
(CONFIG: Framing Mode) EDMAC or EDMAC-2: AUPC+EDMAC
 Master
Distant-end Base Address
0240 (◄ ►,▲ ▼,ENTER)
The valid range of addresses is from 0010 to 9990, in increments of 10 only.
To edit the address of the distant-end modem to which this unit will pass messages, use
the
◄ ► arrow keys to select a digit, and then use the ▲▼arrow keys to change that digit.
Press ENTER.
You may not edit the last digit of the address; this is implemented so that
a single Master may pass messages for up to 10 devices at the distant
end.
(CONFIG: Framing Mode) EDMAC or EDMAC-2: AUPC+EDMAC
 Slave
Address of this Slave
Unit: 0241 (◄ ►,▲ ▼,ENT)
The valid range of addresses is from 1 to 9999, although ‘base 10' values are
automatically skipped.
To edit the address of this Slave unit, use the
◄ ► arrow keys to select a digit, and then
use the ▲▼arrow keys to change that digit. Press ENTER.
The Slave EDMAC address always ends in ‘1’. Keep in mind that this is a
unit that is intended for location at the distant-end of a link, and is
therefore under the control of a Master at the other end. This is the
equivalent of putting the modem into Remote Control mode; no local
control is possible.
