* note following TPC Modes
Change Specifics:
* The occupied bandwidth is defined at the width of the transmitted spectrum taken at the -10 dB
points on the plot of power spectral density. This equates to 1.19 x symbol rate for the CiM-300L transmit filtering. Minimum carrier spacing depends on the relative power level of adjacent carriers and the relative symbol rates. The CiM-300L will experience no more than 0.5 dB BER degradation with two adjacent like modulated carriers spaced at 1.3 times the symbol rate from the desired receive carrier, and at +10 dBc power each relative to the desired receive carrier.

MENUS 28
4.1 FRONT PANEL OPERATION
The user can fully control and monitor the operation of the CiM-300L modem from the front panel, using the keypad and display. Nested menus are used, which display all available options, and prompt the user to carry out a required action.
The display has two lines each of 16 characters. On most menu screens, the user will observe a flashing solid block cursor, which blinks at a once-per-second rate. This indicates the currently selected item, digit, or field. Where this solid block cursor would obscure the item being edited (for example, a numeric field) the cursor will automatically change to an underline cursor.
If the user were to display the same screen for weeks at a time, the display could become ‘burnt’ with this image. To prevent this, the unit has a ‘screen saver’ feature, which will activate after 1 hour. The top line of the display will show the Circuit ID (which can be entered by the user) and the bottom line will show the circuit Eb/No value (if the demod
is locked) followed by ‘Press any key....’. The message moves from right to left across

Notes:
1. Programming a current version (default) allows all features and options (if installed) to operate normally.
2. Programming a FUNCTIONAL version (X) eliminates any changes that affect the later version. Only functional changes are affected by the revision emulation feature.
3. A correction change (e.g., VER 3.1.2) remains fixed in accordance with the latest version. Since the revision emulation default is the current version, program the functional version at the start of each operation.
4. The revision emulation feature does not affect some interface changes for the direct operation of the modem (Configuration save/recall, test mode screen in the Utility/System, all factory

5.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the protocol and message command set for remote monitor and control of the CiM-300L Modem. Some of the commands listed in this section apply ony to options not available on the CiM-300L modem. These commands will not function with a CiM-300L and should be ignored.
The operational and functional changes of a CiM-300L as opposed to an SDM-300L can summed up as follows;
! The CiM-300L uses an RJ45 Ethernet Interface exclusively as a TX/RX data
interface. Subsequently, any references in the CiM-300L Manual to any other type of data interface (G.703, V.35, EIA-422, etc.) will not apply to the CiM­300L.
! The CiM-300L is configured with a CiM IP Module and cannot have the SDM-300L
Overhead card installed. Subsequently, any references in the CiM -300L Manual to any Overhead card features (Flex Mux, IDR, IBS, Drop & Insert, etc.) will not apply to the CiM-300L.
! The CiM-300L clocking functions are hard coded and the user is not able to select
any type of TX or RX clocking options. Subsequently, any references in the CiM­300L Manual to any TX or RX clocking options (Terrestrial, SCT, RX Satellite, etc.) will not apply to the CiM-300L.

CiM-300L IP Enabled Satellite Modem Rev. 1 Serial Remote Control CD/CIM300L.IOM
5.2 GENERAL
Remote controls and status information are transferred via an EIA-485 or EIA-232 serial communications link menu selection.
Commands and data are transferred on the remote control communications link as US ASCII-encoded character strings.
The remote control port baud rates can be selected from 110 to 19200 kbit/s.
The remote communications link is operated in a half-duplex mode.
Communications on the remote link are initiated by a remote controller or terminal. The modem never transmits data on the link unless it is commanded to do so.
The modem must be placed in Remote Mode by entering the REM command prior to performing a configuration change.
5.3 MESSAGE STRUCTURE
The ASCII character format used requires 11 bits/character:
! 1 start bit
! Information and Parity bits (select one)
! 7 information bits and 1 parity bit (Odd/Even)
! 8 information bits (None)
! 2 stop bits
Messages on the remote link fall into the categories of commands and responses.
Commands are messages which are transmitted to a satellite modem, while responses are messages returned by a satellite modem in response to a command.
The general message structure is as follows:
! Start Character
! Device Address
! Command/Response
! End of Message Character
66
CiM-300L IP Enabled Satellite Modem Rev. 1 Serial Remote Control CD/CIM300L.IOM
5.3.1 START CHARACTER
A single character precedes all messages transmitted on the remote link. This character flags the start of a message. This character is:
! “<” for commands
! “>” for responses
5.3.2 DEVICE ADDRESS
The device address is the address of the one satellite modem which is designated to receive a transmitted command, or which is responding to a command.
Valid device addresses are 1 to 3 characters long, and in the range of 1 to 255.
Note: Address 0 is reserved as a global address which simultaneously addresses all devices on
a given communications link. Devices do not acknowledge global commands.
Each satellite modem which is connected to a common remote communications link must be assigned its own unique address. Addresses are software selectable at the modem, and must be in the range of 1 to 255.
5.3.3 COMMAND/RESPONSE
The command/response portion of the message contains a variable-length character sequence which conveys command and response data.
If a satellite modem receives a message addressed to it which does not match the established protocol or cannot be implemented, a negative acknowledgment message is sent in response. This message is:
(Error message for received parity errors.)
>add/?ER2_invalid parameter'cr''lf']
(Error message for a recognized command which cannot be implemented or has
>add/?ER3_unrecognizable command'cr''lf']
(Error message for unrecognizable command or bad command syntax.)
>add/?ER1_parity error'cr''lf']
parameters which are out of range.)
67
CiM-300L IP Enabled Satellite Modem Rev. 1 Serial Remote Control CD/CIM300L.IOM
>add/?ER4_modem in local mode'cr''lf']
(Modem in local error; send the REM command to go to remote mode.)
>add/?ER5_hard coded parameter'cr''lf']
(Error message indicating that the parameter is hardware dependent and may not
be changed remotely.)
Note: “add” is used to indicate a valid 1 to 3 character device address in the range between 1
and 255.
Example: Command: <3/REM_ Response: >3/REM_
5.3.4 END CHARACTER
Each message is ended with a single character which signals the end of the message:
! “cr” Carriage return character for commands
! “]” End bracket for responses

Configures the modem for remote operation.
The SDM300L will respond to any status request at any time. However, the SDM300L must be in 'Remote Mode' to change configuration parameters.
This command is used to clear all stored faults logged by the SDM300L.
Where: xxxxxxx = TX_ONLY, RX_ONLY, or DUPLEX.
This command configures the modem for simplex or duplex operation modes. When transmit only mode is selected, receive faults are inhibited and when receive only mode is selected, transmit faults are inhibited.
Where: xxxxx = CUSTOM*
*NOTE: CiM-300L only Where: n = 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (stored configuration number).
This command saves the current modem configuration for recall at a later time using the 'RMC_' command. Up to five different modem configurations can be saved.
Where: n = 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (stored configuration number).
This command causes the modem to be reprogrammed with configuration parameters previously saved using the 'SMC_' command. One of five saved configurations can be specified.
Where: xxx = ON or OFF.
This command configures the modem for the LOCAL MODEM AUPC mode. When 'ON' is selected, the AUPC configuration can be entered.
