4.5 Parameter list

The table below shows the complete list of M&C parameters the sat-nms LFTX/RX chassis knows. For each parameter the valid range and a short description is given.

If the LFTX/RX chassis is configured as single unit , use the commands which designated for the master chassis. The commands for slave chassis are not valid.

In master/slave mode each chassis could give you all information for both units. So normally a M&C system will communicate only with one chassis (e.g. the master) and gets all information about master and slave from this unit.

Fault Message

The commands 'alrm' and 'alrs' return a text string which shows the fault status of the master or slave chassis.

Syntax: S[power supply faults]R[rf faults]O[optical faults]L[lnb faults]T[threshold faults]C[communication fault][internal fault][switch fault]

The power supply faults list contains 2 characters for power supply 1 to 2. The rf faults , optical faults , lnb faults and threshold faults lists contains 10 characters, representing the 10 slots of a sat-nms LFTX/RX chassis. The communication fault contain 1 characters. The unit sets the fault if the communication to the corresponding chassis is not possible. This fault flag is only valid, if the LFTX/RX chassis is configured for master/slave mode. The internal fault shows that there is a problem with the internal communication between different components of one sat-nms LFTX/RX chassis. The unit sets the switch fault if there are problems with the internal or external (e.g. wave-guide} switches for the redundancy switching.

The meaning of the fault characters are: 0 means OK and 1 means FAULT.

alrm=S10R0000100001O0000000000L0000000000T0000000000C000

The example shows an master chassis, where the following alarms are active: power supply 1, rf fault of slot 5 and 10.

Please keep in mind, that not all slots have to be equipped with LFRX or LFTX cards and the empty slot may show a fault.

Warning Redundancy Offset out of range

The commands 'wnom' and 'wnos' return a text string which shows the warning status of the master or slave chassis.

Syntax: H[high limit reached]L[low limit reached]

The high limit reached and the low limit reached lists contains 10 characters, representing the 10 slots of a sat-nms LFTX/RX chassis.

The meaning of the warning characters are: 0 means OK and 1 means WARNING.

http://192.168.2.81/rmt?wnom=?

wnom=H0000100000L0100000000

The example shows an master chassis, where the following warnings are active: High limit of slot 5 and low limit slot 2.

Please keep in mind, that not all slots have to be equipped with LFRX cards and the empty slot or LFTX cards may show a fault if the configuration is not done properly.

Measurement and setting lists

Some commands returns a comma separated list of measurements or settings for all slots of a chassis. So you get 10 values at ones.

http://10.0.0.1/rmt?powm=?

This returns for each slot of the (master) chassis the optical power level. Empty slots are marked with - .

povm=-,-,1458,-,1466,-,-,1454,-,1454

Plugged/unplugged Cards

The commands 'plcm' and 'plcs' return a comma separated list of the state of all boards.

http://10.0.0.1/rmt?plcm=?

This returns for each slot the configured card type. In this example are slot 1-5 are configured a receiver, 6-8 as transmitter and 9-10 are empty. Please keep in mind, that the LFTX/RX chassis does not detect what kind of card is installed. The return value of the function shows you what the user has configured for each slot.

plcm=RX,RX,RX,RX,RX,TX,TX,TX,NONE,NONE
