Global Amplifier
Configuration
GAC=
43 bytes
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the global status of the BUC/SSPA with a semicolon delimited string in the form a;b;cc.cc;dd.dd;
e;fffff;g;hh;I;j;k;l;m;n;o where:
a = redundancy mode (ESW)
b = online status (ONL)
cc.cc = Attenuation Offset (AOF)
dd.dd = Customer Attenuation(ATT)
e = Auto Fault Recovery (AFR)
fffff = Unit Alarm Mask (MSK)
g = LNB Current Source (LCS)
hh = LNB Current Window (LCW)
i = LNB Current Window Enable (CWE)
j = Enable Statistics Averaging (ESA)
k = Set Statistics Interval (SSI)
l = Enable Statistics Logging (ESL)
m = Auxiliary Mute (AUX)
n = user mute state (MUT)
o = RF power amplifier state (AMP)
Example (set GAC): GAC=a;b;cc.cc;dd.dd;e;fffff;g;hh;I;j;k;l;m;n;o;’cr’

Initialize Events
Pointer
IEP=
None
Command only.
Resets internal pointer to allow RNE? queries to start at the beginning of the stored events log.
Example: <1/IEP=’cr’
>0001/IEP=’cr’lf

Software Image
IMG=
1 byte
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the current active software image in the form x, where:
1=Bulk Image # 1 currently active
2=Bulk Image # 2 currently active
Note: if you send the IMG command, and then query the IMG value the numbers may not be equal because the
command tells the firmware which image to boot from at the next bootup, and the query reports the image that the
firmware booted from on the last bootup.
Examples:
<1/IMG=1’cr’ (instructs the unit to load firmware from image #1 at the next reset / power up).
<1/IMG?’cr’ (queries the image number that the firmware loaded during bootup)
