LAN MODE mode
mode: DHCP, WEG, or STATIC.
Command sets the IP configuration to either dynamic DHCP, "Wegener" mode, or static IP addresses. If
static, see LAN IP, LAN GATEWAY, and LAN SUBNET commands. Omitting the mode parameter shows
the current mode. This is a Local Control Command (available from the terminal regardless of "Local
Control Enable/Disable" commands from the network).
Assigning "Wegener" mode IP address forces the assignment of a static IP address for testing. This
address is of the form: 172.16.xy.yy. The x is the one- or two-decimal-digit Product ID (also called the
COMPEL download ID). 'yyy' are the last (least significant) digits of the unit serial number (most
significant to left). The presumed subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 but the gateway is not defined. As an
example, if a Unity 4600 with product ID=9 and SN=260050 is set to "Wegener" IP address mode, it's new
static IP address becomes 172.16.90.50.
To fix possible address contention, the IRD, when the application initializes, attempts to detect an IP
address conflict (using ARP). If a conflict is detected, the unit adds one hundred (decimal) to the last field
of the attempted IP address and tries again. Using the above example, if 172.16.90.50 has already been
assigned on that LAN, then the IRD re-attempts with an IP address equal to 172.16.90.150.
LAN SUBNET addr
addr: IP address formatted as n1:n2:n3:n4 where n1, n2, n3, and n4 are integers between 0 and
255. Note that not all values can be legal.
Command sets the IRD’s static subnet mask address. Command entries that do not assert legal IP
address masks will be rejected. Omitting the addr parameter shows the current static subnet mask. This
will not be the current subnet mask if dynamically assigned. Use IPCONFIG command for that. A Local
Control Command (available from the terminal regardless of "Local Control Enable/Disable" commands
from the network).
LATCHALARMS x
x: Either E for Enable, or D for Disable.
Command enables or disables the latching of unit alarms.
LNBPWR output
output: Either ON or OFF.
Non-volatile command enables or disables LNB DC power independently of any other settings. A Local
Control Command (available from the terminal regardless of "Local Control Enable/Disable" commands
from the network).
LNBTST voltage_range tone
voltage_range:Either H or L (for High and Low).
tone: Either ON or OFF.
Volatile test command to force use of the ASTRA Universal LNB functions. Disable with TESTOFF
command. A Local Control Command (available from the terminal regardless of "Local Control Enable/
Disable" commands from the network).
