M ODEM PORT PROTOC OL
ETHERNET I /O CONSOLE
5. Modem PORT* is to select a proper data communication port on the ACU to interface
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.
VCAP: is the interface between the SatLink mobile VSAT IDU and the Intellian antenna
controllers for Intellian mobile antennas.
ELELKTRIKOM-AMIP: is a OPEN AMIP based protocol, and proceed the additional
protocol.
GILAT: is a NMEA0183 based protocol to monitor the status of the antenna and the
modem. It is passed through the Gilat SkyEdgeII modem RS232 serial port.
SOTM: is a protocol interface between the ACU and the IPSTAR modem's beam
switching controller to perform automatic beam switching (ABS).
