The sat-nms LFTX/RX L-Band Optical Link chassis may be controlled remotely by a monitoring and control application either through the TCP/IP interface or through a serial RS232 interface. Both communication methods use the same commands and parameters, however, there are different frames around each message depending communication method used. The third method is SNMP.
Controlling the device from the web interface, the TCP/IP remote control interface, the SNMP interface or via the serial interface is completely equal, commands may sent to any interface at any time, the LFTX/RX will use the parameter it receives last.
