The sub-branches available are:

ALL

Permits the user to completely configure the unit, being prompted, step

 

by step, to make choices, or edit data. This is highly recommended for

 

new users, as it will clearly lead the user through all the configuration

 

parameters.

MODE

Permits the user to select Frame Type and Data Format for TX and RX.

TX

Permits the user to define, on a parameter-by-parameter basis, the TX

(Transmit)

configuration of the unit. These menu sub-branches would be used if the

 

user wished to change, for example, just the TX Frequency.

RX

Permits the user to define, on a parameter-by-parameter basis, the RX

(Receive)

configuration of the unit. These menu sub-branches would be used if the

 

user wished to change, for example, just the RX data rate.

 

 

CLOCKS

Permits the user to select TX-Clocking, RX-Buffer/Clock, or External

 

Reference.

D&I

Permits the user to select Drop or Insert options.

EDMAC

Permits the user to select EDMAC options.

MISC

Permits the user to select, view, or change various other parameters.

REMOTE

Permits the user to define whether the unit is being controlled locally, or

(Remote Control)

remotely, and to configure the Remote Control parameters: baud rate,

 

I/O format, address.

MASK

Permits the user to activate or MASK an alarm condition.

IMPED

Permits the user to select the impedance at the IF connectors,

(Impedance)

either 50 or 75 .

STATS

Permits the user to enable and configure the logging of various statistics,

(Statistics)

including Eb/No and AUPC parameters

The modem may be monitored over the remote control bus at any time. When in Local mode, however, configuration parameters may only be changed through the front panel. Conversely, when in

Remote mode, the unit may be monitored from the front panel, but IMPORTANT configuration parameters may only be changed via the remote

control bus.
