Each message is made up of three elements: • • • 3.7.3.1 Prefix Message body End character Prefix The prefix consists of the channel number in ASCII decimal, with a valid range of 0 through 30. Leading zeros are ignored. Prefix 0 is valid for an SNM-1000 Node Control modem and prefixes 1 through 30 are valid for external traffic modems attached to the SNM-1000 such as SDM-300s, SDM-6000s, etc. 3–52 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Operation 3.7.3.2 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Message Body The message body is made up of individual commands and fields. Certain conventions are used to improve the readability of the commands presented in this document. These conventions do not appear in the commands themselves. Conventions used in the command names and descriptions include the following characters. 3.7.3.3 [...] Square brackets are used to indicate that the enclosed items are optional. (The square brackets themselves do not appear in the message.) <...> Angle brackets are used to enclose the names of other syntactical elements. (When those elements appear in an actual message, the actual element is used and the angle brackets are omitted.) ‘...’ Single quotes are used to enclose an ASCII character for illustration of syntax elements. (The single quotes themselves do not appear in the message.) End Character The end character for both command and response messages is a carriage return (represented by “cr”). 3.7.3.4 Case Sensitivity Messages are not case sensitive. However, the DCE generates responses and results in uppercase text. 3.7.3.5 Delimiters Commas and semicolons are valid delimiters that may be used interchangeably with no difference in behavior. 3.7.3.6 End Character Each message is ended with a single character which signals the end of the message: “]” End bracket for responses. 3–53 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Operation 3.7.3.7 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Queries The interface can be queried by issuing a valid command without a value at the end.

Physical Size Power Requirements Operating Temperature 4.1.2 5.3 x 7 inches (13.46 x 17.78 cm) The DAC board fits into the SNM-1000 1RU chassis. +5 VDC 0 to +50° C (32 to 122° F) Theory of Operation To ensure a high level of integration, the DAC uses the Intel 80386EX embedded microcontroller. This 16/32 bit microcontroller performs DAMA controller functions (and other functions) under control of a real time, multi-tasking operating system. The DAC uses non-volatile configuration memory with unlimited read/write access to satisfy memory reconfiguration requirements. Flash ROM is used for program storage. NVRAM storage maintains the configuration parameters during power-down conditions. HDLC synchronous serial ports are implemented with a Z85230 serial communications controller device. This device supports the SNM-1000 control channel satellite channel interface and the HDLC external serial port. The 80386EX DMA channels are used for the satellite channel interface receive functions. Additional asynchronous ports are implemented with 16C450/16C550 compatible UART devices, to provide monitor and control of modems under SNM-1000 control, via either the SNM-1000 microcontroller or a PC. 4.1.2.1 User Port The User port serial interface is a 9-pin mini-DIN female connector (DCE) on the rear panel of the SNM-1000. The interface operates at 19.2 kbit/s, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. The interface levels are EIA-232. The interface allows the user to configure the SNM-1000 and to request the establishment and termination of data circuits.

This module is located on the demodulator board. The M&C monitors the modem and provides configuration updates to other modules within the modem as required. The modem configuration parameters are maintained in battery-backed RAM. The RAM provides for total recovery after a power-down situation. Notes: 1. Extensive fault monitoring and status gathering are provided. 2. Modem functions are accessible through a user port interface. 4–4 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Theory of Operation 4.1.5 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Non-Volatile Memory Non-volatile memory on the M&C module allows it to retain configuration information without prime power for at least one year. Should the modem be powered down, the following sequence is carried out when power is reapplied to the M&C: 1. The microcontroller checks the non-volatile memory RAM to see if data has been retained. If data has been retained, the modem is reconfigured to that information. 2. If non-volatile memory fails the data test, a default configuration from ROM is loaded into the system. 4.1.6 User Port Modem functions can be remotely controlled and monitored via the User port on the back panel. Refer to Section 3.5 and Appendix A. 4.1.7 M&C Theory of Operation The M&C module is built around the Intel 80C32 microcontroller, operating at 11.0592 MHz. The microsystem is designed to support up to 512 kilobytes (Kb) of read-only code memory, and up to 32 Kb of non-volatile, random-access data memory. 4–5 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Theory of Operation 4.2 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Modulator The SNM-1000 modulator performs filtered Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation onto a variable frequency/amplitude carrier. The modulator also provides the following functions: • • • • • Encodes data for the appropriate decoder Scrambles data Monitors and displays the modulator status without interrupting service Provides source control timing Appends a burst preamble for detection by the demodulator (burst mode) The SNM-1000 creates a QPSK modulated carrier within the 50 through 180 MHz range from the digital data stream provided by the interface section. The following subsections make up the modulator: • • • • • • • Scrambler Convolutional encoder Preamble and postamble generator (burst mode only) Modulator Output amplifier RF synthesizer SCT synthesizer A block diagram of the modulator is shown in Figure 4-2. 4–6 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Theory of Operation DATA CLK Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM INTERFACE SCT PLL OPTIONAL SCT MONITOR & CONTROL CONVOLUTIONAL ENCODER REFERENCE LO BPF DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING BPF POWER LEVEL CONTROL LPF RF OUTPUT RF LOOPBACK OUTPUT Figure 4-2. Modulator Block Diagram 4–7 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Theory of Operation 4.2.1 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Theory of Operation The modulator is composed of two basic sections: the baseband processing section, and the RF section. The modem M&C controls all programmable functions in both sections. 4.2.1.1 Burst Mode When a transmission is initiated, the modulator issues a pure carrier for 96 clock cycles, followed by a clock training sequence for 352 clock cycles. A 31-bit unique word is then transmitted. The user data is transmitted into the modem. When the modulator detects the end of the user data stream, the modulator flushes the convolutional encoder (6 bits), then transmits the unique word prime twice (62 bits). The packet is complete and the modulator is ready for the next packet. Data to be transmitted comes from the DAC. At this point, the data signal is clean and free of jitter. The data signal goes to the scrambler, which provides energy dispersal. There is no need for a differential encoder in burst mode, as the ambiguities are resolved using the unique word. The data signal passes to the 1/2 rate Viterbi K=7 convolutional encoder. The output of the encoder generates two separate data streams to drive the in-phase and quadrature channels of the modulator. The data signal passes through a set of variablerate digital Nyquist filters. There are activity detectors on both the In-phase and Quadrature (I&Q) channel Nyquist filters. The digital Nyquist filters are followed by Digital-to-Analog converters and reconstruction filters. These filters provide proper spectral shaping and equalization. The filters are under control of the M&C. The I&Q filtered data signals are applied to the RF modulator, which converts them to a modulated carrier. The spectral shape is identical to that of the input data streams, but is double-sided about the carrier frequency. The RF synthesizer provides the proper frequencies to convert the modulator IF to the desired output frequency in the 50 through 180 MHz range. The synthesizer has multiple loops, and incorporates a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) chip to accommodate 100 Hz steps over a range of 130 MHz. The RF section has a frequency stability of ± 1 x 10-5. The signal from the power combiner is sent to the output amplifier, which amplifies the low-level signal from the modulator section to the proper level for output from the module. The amplifier contains circuitry which provides programmable control of the output level over a range of -5.0 to -30.0 dBm, in 0.1 dB graduated steps. Power leveling is provided at ± 1.0 dB to maintain the stability of the output level over time and temperature. 4–8 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Theory of Operation 4.2.2 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Theory of Modulation Types The modulation type for the modem is QPSK. The PSK data transmission encoding method uses the phase modulation technique. This method varies the phase angle of the carrier wave to represent a different bit value for the receiver. • 4.2.2.1 QPSK represents: 4 discrete phase angles represent the 4 possible states of a symbol. QPSK Encoding The modulator converts transmitted baseband data into a modulated QPSK carrier at the following parameters: • 19.2 kbit/s (1/2 rate) Using vector analysis of the constellation pattern, QPSK represents a symbol with the carrier phase angle at 45°, 135°, 225°, or 315°. The 1/2 rate encoded at the convolutional encoder provide the desired input/output bit rates. Code Rate 1/2 4.2.3 Symbols/Bit 2 Modulator Specifications Refer to Chapter 1 for specifications. 4–9 Bits/Hz 1 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Theory of Operation 4.3 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Demodulator The demodulator converts PSK modulated carriers within the 50 to 180 MHz range to a demodulated baseband data stream. The converted modulation type is QPSK, (refer to Section 4.2.3 for a description of modulation type). The demodulator then performs FEC on the data stream using the Viterbi decoding algorithm. A block diagram of the demodulator is shown in Figure 4-3.

The synthesizer has multiple loops, and incorporates a DDS chip to accommodate 100 Hz steps over a range of 130 MHz. The RF section has a frequency stability of ± 1 x 10-5. The two channels are then passed through identical anti-aliasing filters Analog-to-Digital converters, and digital Nyquist filters. The result is a filtered, digital representation of the received signal. A Costas loop maintains the phase lock during the message. A phaselock loop maintains the data clock. The soft-decision mapper converts the I&Q samples to soft-decision values. The soft-decision values are then fed to the Viterbi decoder where error detection and correction are performed. The I&Q channels also are used to calculate the AGC and AOC voltages. The AGC and AOC are fed back to the RF module. The data from the output of the Viterbi decoder is descrambled with a V.35 descrambler, and routed to the interface card. Additionally, a summary fault relay provides a FORM C output located on the demodulator board. During acquisition, the demodulator sweeps the range around the nominal IF frequency. These parameters (sweep width and offset) can be set by the user. As the demodulator sweeps through a carrier, the data is fed to the selected decoder, which resolves the 4–11 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Theory of Operation Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM ambiguities of the incoming data. When the decoder generates a lock signal, the demodulator stops sweeping. If the signal level is within the operating range of the demodulator, the modem declares lock. Notes: 1. After the demodulator is locked, BER and frequency offset monitoring are available via the remote interface. 2. For QPSK applications, the demodulator has the ability to lock to a carrier that has gone through a spectral inversion. 4.3.2 Demodulator Specifications Refer to Chapter 1 for specifications. 4–12 Chapter 5.

If the fault clears, the occurrence is also stored. A total of 10 occurrences of any fault can be stored. Each fault or stored fault indicated by a front panel LED could be one of many faults. To determine which fault has occurred, use the Fault or Stored Fault front panel menu. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on the Fault or Stored Fault front panel menu. Alarms are considered minor faults which will not switch the modem offline in a redundant system. Alarms are shown in the Fault or Stored Fault front panel menu by a reversed contrast (white on black) character that appears at the display panel. 5.1.3 Faults/Alarms Analysis This section describes the possible problems and actions to take for the following faults: • • • • • Modulator Demodulator Transmit interface Receive interface Common equipment 5–6 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Maintenance 5.1.3.1 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Modulator Faults Fault/Alarm IF SYNTHESIZER Possible Problem and Action Modulator IF synthesizer fault. DATA CLOCK SYN This is considered a major alarm, and will turn off the modulator output. Return the modem for repair. Transmit data clock synthesizer fault. I CHANNEL This fault indicates that the internal clock VCO has not locked to the incoming data clock, or the internal clock synthesizer has not locked to the internal reference. This is considered a major alarm, and will turn off the modulator output. Ensure the proper data rate has been set up and selected, and the incoming data rate matches the modem selections. Activity alarm for the I channel digital filter. Q CHANNEL This alarm is considered a major alarm, and will turn off the modulator IF output. An alarm in this position indicates either a fault in the scrambler, or if the scrambler is disabled, the alarm indicates a loss of incoming data. If the fault is active with the scrambler turned off, check for input data at the DATA I/O connector. Activity alarm for the Q channel digital filter. AGC LEVEL Use the I channel procedure. Output power AGC level fault. INTERNAL SCT SYN Indicates the level at the modulator output is not the programmed level. Internal TX data clock synthesizer fault. EXT REF ACT The SCT has failed to lock to the internal reference. External reference activity fault. MODULE Indicates clock reference not detected. Modulator module fault. Typically indicates that the modulator module is missing or will not program. 5–7 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Maintenance 5.1.3.1.1 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Modulator Checkout Use the following procedure to check out the modulator: 1. Set up the equipment. Refer to Chapter 4 for modulator specifications. 2. Set up the modem for operation by using the Configuration Modulator and Demodulator front panel menus. 3. Clear all TX faults by correct use of data and clock selection (Chapter 4). 4. Measure the Eb/N0 with a receiver that is known to be properly operating. Refer to Table 5-2. 5. Check for proper Eb/N0 level. The (S+N)/N is measured by taking the average level of the noise and the average level of the modem spectrum top. Use this measurement for the first column. 6. Read across the page to find the S/N and Eb/N0 for the specific code rate. Once the demodulator has locked to the incoming signal, the Monitor menu will display signal level, raw BER, corrected BER, and Eb/N0. Refer to Chapter 1 for examples of BER performance curves. 7. Connect a spectrum analyzer to the modem. Ensure the IF output meets the appropriate mask and spurious specifications. Measure the power output at different levels and frequencies. A typical output spectrum is shown in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2. 8. To check the frequency and phase modulation accuracy: a. Set the modem to the continuous wave Normal mode by using the Carrier Mode front panel menu (Chapter 3). This sets the Carrier mode in the off condition. A pure carrier should now be present at the IF output. This should only be used for frequency measurements. In this mode, spurious and power measurements will be inaccurate. b. Set the modem to the continuous wave Offset mode by using the Carrier Mode front panel menu (Chapter 3). This generates a single, upper side-band-suppressed carrier signal. Ensure the carrier and side-band suppression is < -35 dBc. 5–8 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Maintenance Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Table 5-2.

Indicates the decoder is not locked. This is the most common fault displayed in the modem. Any problem from the input data on the modulator end of the circuit to the output of the decoder can cause this alarm. IF SYNTHESIZER First, ensure the demodulator has an RF input at the proper frequency and power level. Ensure the demodulator data rate is properly programmed. Refer to the fault isolation procedure for Data Clock Syn in the modulator section. Verify the frequency of the data transmitted from the modulator is within 100 PPM. Demodulator IF synthesizer fault. Indicates the demodulator IF synthesizer is faulted. I CHANNEL Q CHANNEL This fault is a hardware failure. Contact the Comtech EF Data Customer Support Department. Indicates a loss of activity in the I channel of the quadrature demodulator. Typically indicates a problem in the modulator side of the circuit. Check for proper RF input to the demodulator. If the input to the demodulator is correct, then the problem is in the baseband processing. Indicates a loss of activity in the Q channel of the quadrature demodulator. BER THRESHOLD Follow the same procedure for the I channel fault. Indicates the preset BER threshold has been exceeded. MODULE Setting of this alarm is done in the Utility menu. This is an alarm based on the corrected BER reading on the front panel. Demodulator module fault. Typically indicates that the demodulator module is missing or will not program. Contact the Comtech EF Data Customer Support Department. 5–11 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Maintenance 5.1.3.2.1 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Demodulator Checkout Use the following procedure to test the demodulator. 1. Set up the equipment. Refer to Chapter 4 for the demodulator specifications. 2. Set up the modem with an external IF loop and level. Use a properly operating modulator, and ensure that power levels, data rates, code rates, etc., are compatible. 3. Allow the modem to lock up. Depending on the data rate and overhead type, lock up may take several seconds. When the green carrier detect LED is on and the DEMUX lock fault has been cleared (where applicable), the modem will run at the specified error rate. Run the TX power level (input amplitude) over the full range, and offset the TX frequency from the RX frequency by 35 kHz. Ensure the modem still runs within the specified error rate. 4. Set up the modem to check the constellation patterns with an oscilloscope that is set in the X-Y mode. Typical constellation patterns with noise and without noise. These test points are available on the auxiliary connector (J9, pins 6 and 8). It is not necessary to open the modem to look at these test points. 5–12 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Maintenance Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM WITH NOISE WITHOUT NOISE Figure 5-3.

TX CLOCK PLL When the AIS is selected in the Interface Utility menu for TX data fault, the transmit interface fault TX data/AIS is monitoring a fault condition of all 1s from customer data input to the modem. When data is selected in the Interface Utility menu for TX data fault, the TX interface fault TX data/AIS is monitoring a fault condition of all 1s or 0s. This is referred to as a data-stable condition (data is not transitioning). This fault indicates there is trouble in the chain sending data to the modem. The modem passes this signal transparently, and takes no other action. This indication is a monitor function only, and aids in isolating the trouble source in a system. Transmitter phase-locked loop fault. TX CLOCK ACT Indicates the transmitter PLL is not locked to the reference of the interface transmit clock recovery oscillator. Contact the Comtech EF Data Customer Support Department. Activity detector alarm of the selected interface transmit clock. TX AUDIO 1 CLIP TX AUDIO 2 CLIP CONFIGURATION Indicates the selected TX clock is not being detected. Check the signal of the selected TX clock source to verify the signal is present. The interface will fall back to the internal clock when this alarm is active. Not Applicable Not Applicable Configuration fault. Indicates the selected TX Output , Fault Relay, or Fault LED is not functioning. Check the signal of the selected TX source to verify the signal is present. The configuration will fall back to the default when this alarm is active. 5–14 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Maintenance 5.1.3.4 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Receive Interface Faults Fault/Alarm BUFFER UNDERFLOW Possible Problem and Action Buffer underflow alarm. BUFFER OVERFLOW Indicates the plesiochronous buffer has underflowed. Buffer underflow is normally a momentary fault (there are clock problems if this alarm is continuously present). This alarm is included in this section to be consistent with the fault reporting system and to be correctly registered in the stored fault memory. The time and date of the first 10 receive buffer underflow faults are stored in battery-backed memory as an aid to troubleshooting. The interval between stored overflow/underflow events can be used to determine relative clock accuracies. Buffer overflow alarm. Indicates the plesiochronous buffer has overflowed. RX DATA/AIS FRAME BER BACKWARD ALARM The problems and actions in the buffer underflow section apply to this alarm. Data or incoming AIS. The data monitored for RX data is coming from the satellite. When the AIS is selected for RX data fault in the Interface Utility menu, the RX data/AIS is monitoring an alarm condition of all 1s from the satellite. When data is selected for RX data fault in the Interface Utility menu, the RX data/AIS is monitoring a fault condition of all 1s or 0s. This is referred to as a data-stable condition (data is not transitioning). The fault indicates trouble in receiving data from the satellite. The modem passes this signal transparently, and can close a FORM C contact. The indication is a monitor function only to help isolate the source of trouble in a system. The receive decoded error rate has exceeded 10-3 over a 60-second period measured on the framing bits. This is defined as a major (prompt) receive alarm by INTELSAT specifications IESS-308. In a redundant system, a switch-over will be attempted. Since some data must be correctly received to indicate this fault, receive AIS will not be substituted. This fault is to be sent as a backward alarm to the distant end. This must be wired externally, as faults other than from the modem may need to enter the fault tree. Not Applicable 5–15 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Maintenance Fault/Alarm BUFFER CLK PLL BUFFER CLK ACT DEMUX_LOCK Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Possible Problem and Action Buffer clock phase-locked loop fault. The buffer synthesizer is the wrong frequency or will not lock. Ensure the selected buffer clock source is at the proper frequency and level. If the fault continues, contact the Comtech EF Data Customer Support Department. Activity detector alarm of the selected interface receive clock. The interface will fall back to the satellite clock when this fault is active. Demultiplexer synchronization lock fault. This fault means that the demultiplexer is unable to maintain valid frame and multiframe alignment. RX 2047 LOCK The usual cause is invalid or absent receive data. This is a major (prompt) alarm. The alarm will cause insertion of receive AIS (all 1s) and the switch-over will be attempted. This fault is to be sent as a backward alarm to the distant end. This fault will occur when no carrier is present, but will probably never occur with a correct signal. RX 2047 lock alarm. BUFFER FULL Indicates the RX 2047 data test pattern is not being received by the decoder. The alarm probably indicates the transmitter is not set correctly. Buffer full alarm. RX INSERT RX AUDIO 1 CLIP RX AUDIO 2 CLIP CONFIGURATION Indicates the buffer is < 10% or > 90% full. Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable Configuration fault.

The configuration will fall back to the default when this alarm is active. 5–16 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Maintenance 5.1.3.5 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Common Equipment Faults Fault/Alarm BATTERY/CLOCK Possible Problem and Action M&C battery voltage or clock fault. -12 VOLT SUPPLY Indicates a low voltage in the memory battery. Typically, this fault will be active when a modem has been hard reset or the firmware has been changed. When a hard reset has been executed or the firmware has been changed, this fault will typically be active when the modem is first turned on. -12V power supply fault. Indicates a high or low voltage condition. Level is ± 5%. +5 VOLT SUPPLY Check for a short on the –12V line from the power supply or on any of the plug-in boards. +12 VDC power supply fault. Use the same procedure as with –12V fault. +5V power supply fault. Use the same procedure as with a –12V fault. SELF TEST CONTROLLER The +5V supply requires a minimum load of 1A.

For example; the IF Loopback command “MC IFL_ON” will cause the SNM-1000 to disengage from the MIDAS control channel. Reconnecting the control channel would only be possible by taking the modem out of IF Loopback via the front panel or a local M&C command. Firmware number: Software version: FW/6535-3G 4.1.5 Note: The firmware referenced in this manual may be an earlier version of the actual firmware supplied with the unit. A.1 Channel Number Channel number <channel_no> has a valid range of 0 through 30. Leading zeros are ignored. Channel 0 is valid for an SNM-1000 Node Control modem and channels 1 through 30 are valid for external traffic modems attached to the SNM-1000 such as SDM-300s, SDM-6000s, etc. A–1 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Remote Control Operation A.2 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Abnormal Condition Responses If a satellite modem receives a message which does not match the established protocol or cannot be implemented, a negative acknowledgment message is sent in response. The possible message formats are: • <channel_no> ?ER1_PARITY ERROR'cr''lf'] (Error message for received parity errors.) • <channel_no> ?ER2_INVALID PARAMETER'cr''lf'] (Error message for a recognized command which cannot be implemented or has parameters which are out-of-range.) • <channel_no> ?ER3_UNRECOGNIZABLE COMMAND'cr''lf'] (Error message for unrecognizable command or bad command syntax.) • <channel_no> ?ER4_MODEM IN LOCAL MODE'cr''lf'] (Modem in local error, use the REM command to go to remote mode.) • <channel_no> ?ER5_HARD CODED PARAMETER'cr''lf'] (Error message indicating that the parameter is hardware dependent and may not be changed remotely.) A.2.1 Character Set The interface responds to ASCII characters in the range of 0x00 to 0x7F. The 8th bit (most significant) is not generated on the transmit side and is ignored on the receive side. A.2.2 Status Lines and Flow Control The interface ignores all status inputs. A.2.3 Message Structure A message is either a command or a response. Each message is made up of three elements: • • Prefix Message body End character A–2 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Remote Control Operation Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM A.3 Configuration Commands/Responses A.3.1 Modulator Configuration Commands Modulator Frequency Command: Response: Status: Response: RF Output (IF Output) Modulator Rate Preset Assignment <channel_no> MC MF_nnn.nnnn'cr' <channel_no> MF_nnn.nnnn'cr' RF_OFF'cr''lf'] <channel_no> MC MF_'cr' <channel_no> MF_nnn.nnnn'cr''lf'] Command: Response: <channel_no> MC RF_xxx'cr' <channel_no> RF_xxx'cr''lf'] Status: Response: <channel_no> MC RF_'cr' <channel_no> RF_xxx'cr''lf'] Command: <channel_no> MC AMRx_nnnn_mmm.mmm'cr' <channel_no> AMRx_nnnn_mmm.mmm'cr''lf'] Response: Status: Response: <channel_no> MC AMRx_'cr' <channel_no> AMRx_nnnn_mmm.mmm'cr''lf'] Where: nnn.nnnn = Frequency in MHz, 50.0000 to 180.0000, in 1 Hz steps.

A–28 SNM-1000 Node Control Modem Remote Control Operation A.9 Revision 3 MN/SNM1000.IOM Unsolicited Responses The following strings are generated by the DCE to reflect events which are not directly related to commands typed from the DTE. They generally reflect the results of an earlier command. To ensure that a response is never inserted in the midst of another string, the following strings will not start until any transmission in progress has been completed. However, if a partial line has been entered from the DTE to the DCE, this strict sequence control causes indefinite waiting by the response string. The response string shall wait until the partial line is completed.

These are used to give the maximum level of detail possible in describing why a call terminated. It is used primarily for diagnostic purposes. Note that each Cause code has its own list of Subcause definitions; a Subcause from one Cause cannot be used with another, unless it is also defined under that Cause. Some Cause values have no Subcause list; these would always use subcause_Unknown, which is defined with a value of 0. Even where sub causes are listed, subcause_Unknown is still valid.
