This product is DiSEqC 2.x (two way DiSEqC) complaint.
The pages below assume some familiarity with DiSEqC concepts, for further reading please visit DiSEqC.org web site.
In this page DiSEqC core commands and user commands are defined.
Admin priviliges are required to access this page.
Users without admin priviliges will only be able to run the user defined commands.
The core commands page allows for support of additional layers of DiSEqC other than the default 1.1 and 1.2 layer.
It also allows changes to the addressing of the commands, which is defined as broadcast address by default.

Description
Resets all commands back to the original DiSEqC 1.1 and 1.2 factory default command set
The user commands page allows for user defined customization.
Each entry calls one of the basic command with a specific datum and LNB mode, and assigns a unique user defined name to it
So for example, if you have a SAR 212 Spaun switch, with one LNB connected to a dish pointed to London and the other to New York,
you can define a "London" Command that will issue a committed switch DiSEqC command with the datum 0xf0 (for input 1),
and a "New York" Command with the datum 0xf4 (for input 2), simplifying matters for the non-admin user.
For supported commands you may consult the user manual that arrived with your switch, or contact post sale rep for support.

Description:
The Unidirectional Remote Control mechanism intends to enable the network administrator to
control remote units over the air without return channel (unidirectional link). The mechanism
allows the administrator to perform the following actions:
- Software upgrade.
- Send configuration file.
- Send configuration command.
The remote serial number, may be found in system → hw/sw versions
of the destination unit.
The user shall fill this field with the serial number, of a single destination unit,
which the upcoming action shall take place on.
checking this check box define the whole group which belongs to the same ISI
as destination units to the upcoming over the air action.
SW upgrade over the air mechanism without a return channel of feedback. Since this subject is
very delicate issue, a sophisticated and robust mechanism was developed, with intention to
deliver a SW package from one point to another in a real life satellite conditions.
Upload file - The button opens a browse window that allows browsing for the tar
package file. The file will be uploaded to the local unit first and then will be transmitted
to the remote.
Activate remotes - The button sends an activation command to the selected remote
to activate the new SW package.
Configuration file transmission over the air mechanism without a return channel of feedback.
The configuration file is a predefine one, located on a local PC
There are two method to send and activate a configuration file on a remote:
a. Immediate activation - using �Upload File and Apply� button. By choosing this
method, right after the file is received and verified, activation will take place.
b. Postponed activation - Using Upload File
button and then Activate Configuration
button.
By choosing this method, the file will receive immediately by remote but activation will take place manually.
Upload file - The button opens a browse window that allows browsing for the
configuration file. The file will be uploaded to the local unit first and then will be
transmitted to the remote without activation command.
Activate Configuration - The button transmits an activation command for any
configuration file that is in the remote device DB pool. The configuration file name must
be fulfilled in the text field.
Upload File and Apply - Same button as Upload file but an activation command will
be transmitted at the end of the file configuration transmission.
Save Current Configuration - The button transmits a save current configuration
command to remote unit.
In the case where a single configuration parameter has to be change on the link, of a single unit
or the whole group, introduce the single command transmission Over The Air
, feature.
The administrator must first define the command which he desire to execute in SNMP Commands
page.
Command Name - Selects a predefine command; a drop down menu will appear.
Send and Execute - The button transmits and execute the selected command
in the remote unit upon receiving.
Send and Wait - The button transmits the selected command and stores it in the remote
buffer for a later execution. This button allows to append several commands
in a buffer and execute them together.
Execute - The button transmits an execution command to execute all the remote’s
buffered commands.
Clear Commands Buffer - The button transmits a command to clear all the remote
stored commands buffer.
Updating license over the air mechanism without a return channel of feedback. Since this subject is
very delicate issue, a sophisticated and robust mechanism was developed, with intention to
deliver the license file from one point to another in a real life satellite conditions.
Upload License file - - The button opens a browse window that allows browsing for the license file.
The file will be uploaded to the local unit first and then will be transmitted
to the remote.
The button will be enabled only after a remote serial number will be enter. The entered S/N
will be compared with the S/N in the file, if there is no match a pop-up error message will appear
indicating "Error: SN does not match". The uploaded file will be deleted and the user will need to start it over.
Activate License - The button sends an activation command to the license file in the remote, this command
can be broadcast to all remotes by selecting "All" in the Remote S/N field.
The Status table are oriented to monitor each operation transmitting progress.
Two of the control operations can be canceled by you during the transmit progress:
1. SW Package
2. Configuration or License file
Cancel Transmission - The button will stop the transmission process.
SW Package - In case of SW package action a transmission progress will be displayed.
File - In case of Sending Configuration or License file a transmission progress will be displayed.
Command - In case of Sending Configuration Command a transmission progress will be displayed.
Upload File
The button opens a browse window that allows browsing for package file to be loaded
The chosen file will be uploaded and then transmited to the remote sides
Activate Remotes
The button sends command to activate new SW package
Status
Shows the current status of the transmission
Cancel Transmission
The button cancels the transmission
