Vipersat Configuration
•U = Used – This Remote is being used in the burstmap.
Once a remote has been added to the STDMA group, this status will
always be displayed.
•B = Burstmap – This Remote is currently in the burstmap.
This status will be displayed unless the remote has been removed (R),
disabled (D), or switched (S) out of the STDMA burstmap.
•R = Removed – This Remote is currently removed from the burstmap.
When displayed, this status indicates that the Hub has removed this remote
from the burstmap due to a communications fault.
•D = Disabled – This Remote is currently disabled and is not in the
burstmap.
This status will be displayed when a remote is manually disabled by the
operator or administrator.
•S = Switched – This Remote is currently switched into SCPC mode.
When displayed, this status indicates that the VMS has automatically
switched the remote out of the burstmap and into SCPC operation.
•H = Home State Revert – This Remote is not currently receiving burst
maps. When a remote, stuck in SCPC mode by failure to receive a VMS
revert command, sees the burst map with this flag set, it will automatically
revert to its home state and STDMA mode.
•CF – This Remote has not sent an acknowledgement to the burst controller
since it was enabled.
Base
Entering a B at the command prompt in figure 3-17 allows entering the Remote
number to start displaying remotes in this menu screen. Entering the number 1,
as shown in figure 3-17, displays nine remotes, 1 through 9. If the number 4 had
been entered, the display would show the nine remotes starting with remote 4
(i.e., remotes 4 through 12).
