Fault Message

The commands 'alrm' 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]S[switch fault]C[internal fault]

The power supply faults list contains 2 characters for power supply 1 to 2. The rf faults , optical faults , lnb faults , threshold faults and switch faults lists contains 20 characters, representing the 20 slots of a sat-nms LFTXRX chassis. The internal fault shows that there is a problem with the internal communication between different components of the sat-nms LFTXRX chassis.

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

(retrun of this command is one line. lines are wrapped in this example for better readability)

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, LFTX or LFSW cards and the empty slot may show a fault.

Measurement and setting lists

Some commands returns a comma separated list of measurements or settings for all slots of a chassis. So you get 20 values at ones.

http://10.0.0.1/rmt?powm=?

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

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

Plugged/unplugged Cards

The commands 'plcm' and 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 LFTXRX 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.
