If B

is not present, or is present but not equal to 31, each currently reported
fault condition is listed, whether it is currently active or not. If B
ACTIVE_INFO
is present
and equal to 31 (to request active fault information), the high bit will be set (add 80)
for each code that is still active. See Section 3.8.9 for the complete list of codes.

= 30 if not present (or if disabled), = 31 if present (or enabled).
The option flag for Parallel I/O (B
OPT_PARALLEL_IO
) corresponds to that for “local”
Parallel I/O in previous SSPA versions. Even though the Parallel I/O option is
physically located in the RCP-2001, all other serial messages that handle Parallel
I/O act as if it is local (when present).
The 1:1 option flag (B
OPT_1:1
) indicates whether 1:1 is enabled in the amplifier. In the
original implementation of this protocol, the 1:1 switch flag (B
OPT_1:1_SW
) was intended
to indicate whether the 1:1 switch was connected or not. However, in all versions of
Antenna Mount firmware described by this document, both B
OPT_1:1
and B
OPT_1:1_SW
are set to 31 if the 1:1 option is enabled, or to 30 if it is not.
The 31 in the 8
th
byte indicates the presence of gain control, a standard feature
included in outdoor and antenna-mount SSPAs.
The 31 in the 17
th
byte [following a comma (2C)], represents the number of current
measurements reported by message 16 52, which is always “1” for SSPAs using this
protocol.

The reflected measurement is returned in the currently selected measurement type
(power, return loss, or VSWR; see 3.10.6). No sign is returned if measurement type
is VSWR, or if measurement type is power and power units are Watts. A leading “<”
or “>” symbol may be present (see 3.8.11). A “U” (55) will be returned for
“undefined”. A 3F will be returned if the reading is not available because the option is
disabled, or because of a detector failure.
