SOFTWARECOMMANDS
Definitions
Listed below in alphabetical order are the definitions of the ESTeem software commands.
Revised: 27 Mar 01
APX D-6
PLC_MAST (on/off)
The programmable logic controller (PLC) command.
ON: When enabled, the ESTeem modem will identify
the desired route from the master PLC message.
The ESTeem modem will only identify the PLC
master route if the master command is enabled in
the PLC.
OFF: The ESTeem modem will be configured as to
interface to a slave PLC.
Factory default = OFF.
POLLed (on/off)
When enabled the ESTeem will only transmit the contents
of its internal transmit buffer when it receives an ENQ (hex
5) from a polling ESTeem. During non polled times the
ESTeem transmit buffer will be continuously updated from
data being received by the
RS-232C/422 port. This software feature was developed for
interfacing the ESTeem to output devices without flow
control that are to be polled from a master device.
ON: Enabled will transmit the contents of its transmit
buffer when a ENQ (hex 5) is received.
OFF: Disabled.
Factory default = OFF.
PROGram (1-254,1-254,1-254,1-254)
This command is used to remote program another ESTeem
unit. Example PROG 10 (Unit 10 is the address of the
remote unit). When a connection has been made with the
remote ESTeem the RPG: prompt will appear. The RPG:
prompt is the command prompt of the remote modem.
Note: See REMPROG Command.
PROMpt (on/off)
The prompt enable command.
ON: The prompt responses are enabled. These are the
prompts for Converse or Trans Mode that are
normally output from the RS-232C serial port by
the ESTeem.
OFF: Disabled.
Factory default = ON.
RADio (on/off)
The radio transmitter enable command. The ESTeem radio
transmitter will cycle on and off when enabled for tuning
and antenna testing procedures.
ON: Enabled.
OFF: Disabled.
Factory default = OFF.
RANdom (on/off)
The RANDOM command when enabled will generate a
simulated random data output when the RADIO ON
command is enabled
ON: Enabled.
OFF: Disabled.
Factory default = OFF.
REMprog (on/off)
This command will disable the ESTeem from being
remotely programmed by any another ESTeem.
ON: Enabled.
OFF: Disabled.
Factory default = ON.
RESet
The software reset command for the ESTeem. The
execution of this command resets the internal electronics in
the ESTeem.
RESTore
The restore command. The execution of this command
restores the ESTeem command variables and switches
configurations stored in nonvolatile memory.
RETry (1-255)
The retry command number. This is the number specifying
the number of retries, retransmission of frames, that are not
acknowledged. Frames are retransmitted RETRY times
before operation is aborted. Factory default = 6.
