Response to Query
Offline Unit
Status
N/A 6 bytes Query only. (1:1 set-up)
This query is sent to the online modem of a 1:1 pair. It
provides access to the fault status information (FLT?) of
the offline modem. This is the only way to interrogate the
status of an offline modem at the distant-end of a link.
The response format may be:
No1for1 which indicates that no 1:1 system has been
detected. Presence of a 1kHz signal from the CRS-150
is used to indicate a 1:1 set-up.
NoComm which indicates that a 1kHz signal has been
detected, but that there is no (or not yet) a response for
the modem.
abcdef would be the FLT? response information from
the offline unit.
N/A OUS? OUS=xxxxxx
Force 1:1
Switch
FSW= None Command only.
Forces the unit to toggle the Unit Fail relay to the “fail”
state for approx 500ms. If the unit is a 1:1 pair, and it is
currently the ‘On-Line’ unit, this will force a switchover,
so the unit will then be in ‘Standby’ mode. The command
is always executed by the unit, regardless of whether it is
stand-alone, in a 1:1 pair, or part of a 1:N system.
This command takes no arguments.

Note: The following codes are used in the ‘Response to Command’ column: = Message ok ? Received ok, but invalid arguments found * Message ok, but not permitted in current mode # Message ok, but unit is not in Remote mode ~ Time out of an EDMAC pass-through message (added in version 1.1.5)
