Paradise P300 Change, Tx/Rx, ESC/Aux/BA, Async ESC Menu, Baud Rate, Format, Set As M&C

Note 1: Spare unless the unit is configured for 2048kbps, IBS G.732 mode, with spare bits of TS0 set to transparent (when these bits carry the spare bits).

To summarise:

In standard IBS modes up to (8+8+2+2+1+1) bits = 22/32nd of the overhead may be allocated to the ESC port, and up to (8+8+2+2+1) bits = 21/32nds of the overhead may be allocated to the Aux port. 21 of these bits are shared between ESC & Aux.

In Custom IBS modes (without backward alarm or TS32 multiframe) up to (8+8+2+2+1+1+1+1) bits

=24/32nd of the overhead may be allocated to the ESC port, the Aux port is as above for Standard IBS, and 21 of these bits remain shared between ESC & Aux.

When the overhead has been assigned as required, press the YES key which provides the following screen:

Max ESC rate=2650 Baud (YES)

Aux sync rate=1387bps, async=346 Baud

Change, Tx/Rx, ESC/Aux/BA Define (IBS) ESC/Aux Custom 1

This summarises the ESC & Aux port rates based on the overhead assignments just made:

The Max ESC Baud Rate is the maximum continuous rate the ESC channel will support, the ESC channel must be set to a standard async Baud rate equal or below this figure using the Async ESC menu selection.

The Aux Sync Rate is the data rate of the Aux port. A DPLL generates this clock however obscure the rate !

The Aux async Baud is the maximum Baud rate that could be conveyed through this Aux channel, if the Aux clock is ignored and the Aux port is used in oversampled async mode (as defined by INTELSAT for the low rate IBS ESC).

The Aux Sync Rate and Aux async Baud information display is not available in early versions of the embedded M&C code.

6.6.29Change, Tx/Rx, ESC/Aux/BA, ASYNC ESC Menu

This menu allows the async parameters for the ESC interface to be defined.

	Async ESC port:
	1:Baud rate [2400] 2:Format [8,N] 3=Set as M&C port [=]
	Change, Tx/Rx, ESC/Aux/BA, C.g., Async Menu
BAUD RATE	Allows the ESC Baud rate to be set (see below), the current Baud rate setting is
	displayed.
FORMAT	Allow the async character format for the ESC port to be set (see below), the
	current async character format is displayed.
SET AS M&C	When selected this copies the remote M&C async settings to the ESC port, to
	simplify using the ESC port for remote M&C. This is a one time copy, and the ESC
	port configuration will not track changes to the remote M&C configuration. When
	the ESC port is configured as the remote M&C port, [=] appears, when not equal
	[ ] appears.
