6287 ULTRA User’s Manual

29 — Reserved

This option is reserved.

30 — Pseudo Transparency Mode (PTM) Selection

Determines which of two methods will be used to begin pseudo transparency mode: (A) Trigger 1 + Trigger 2 or (B) Trigger 1 + Count Byte. The default value is (A). Refer to Section 11 — Transparency Modes for more information.

31 — Discard PTM Terminating Delimiter

Determines whether or not the ULTRA, when Option #30 is set to

(A)Trigger 1 + Trigger 2 PTM, will discard the character that terminates PTM (i.e., the first hexadecimal character that is outside the range of 0-9 or A-F). The default value is “No.” Refer to Section 11 — Transparency Modes for more information.

32 — DSC Trigger 1

Determines which DSC character will be used (in conjunction with either Trigger 2 or a Count Byte, depending upon the setting of Option #30) to signal the start of PTM. The user may enter any two-character hexadecimal value that will not otherwise be found in the data stream. The default value is a DSC cent sign (¢) 1Bh. Refer to Section 11 — Transparency Modes for more information. This character is also used as a trigger for configuring the ULTRA, invoking PFSs and programming PFSs from the coax host.

Note: The Trigger 1 character should be reserved for this use only. Any other use of the Trigger 1 character may produce unpredictable results.

33 — DSC Trigger 2

Determines which DSC character must follow Trigger 1 in order to start PTM when Option #30 is set to (A). The user may enter any two-character hexadecimal value, except for 18h (?), 2Eh (%), 19h (!) and 30h (&), which are used by the ULTRA for other purposes. The default value is a DSC dollar sign ($) 1Ah. Refer to Section 11 — Transparency Modes for more information.
