4.2.28 multipoint Multipoint Handshaking
Usage: multipoint [<0|1|n|y|off|on>]
Authorization: Operator RW; Administrator RW
With no value specified, display the current multipoint setting. Otherwise, set the
multipoint setting to the specified value. Multipoint on indicates point-to-
multipoint mode; multipoint off indicates point-to-point mode.
The modems support point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communication
modes. In point-to-multipoint mode, only one of the multipoint modems may
transmit at any given time. This is controlled by the RTS (request-to-send)
control line at the EIA-530/-232 DB-25 port.
When a multipoint modem has permission to transmit, it should assert RTS and
wait for the modem to respond by asserting CTS (clear-to-send).
In multipoint mode the RF transmitter will be unmuted when RTS is asserted
and, after delay to allow the link to be established, CTS will be asserted to
indicate it is okay to send data. The transmitter will be muted when RTS is
negated.
Arbitration among the multipoint modems for access to the link is a higher level
network function and the responsibility of the customer.
Multipoint mode does not affect the operation of the receiver. The receiver is on
whether or not the multipoint modems is transmitting and all multipoint modems
may receive simultaneously.
4.2.29 mute Mute the RF output
Usage: mute [<0|1|n|y|off|on>]
Authorization: Operator RO; Administrator RW
Display or set the mute state.
With no argument, displays the current mute setting. With an argument of 0, n, or
off sets the mute to “off” (enables RF output). With an argument of 1, y, or on
sets the mute to “on” (disables RF output).
