MDS 05-6399A01, Rev. G MDS™ Master Station 63
Remote Management Command
The Master Station has the ability to broadcast management commands to remote SD radios in
the network. These commands are sent to all connected remote radios, and hence should only be
used for making network-wide changes.
The following action can be specified:
- Reboot – All remote radios will reboot to the currently active firmware image.
- Set Radio Mode – Change the radio mode of remote radios (x710/transparent/packet-
with-MAC)
- Set Frequencies – Set the receive and transmit frequencies of remote radios.
- Set Modem Type – Change the configured modem of remote radios.
- Set Transmit Tolerance – Change the configured transmit tolerance of remote radios.
- Set System ID – Change the configured system ID of the remote radios.
- Enable Bridge – Enable or disable Ethernet bridging on remote radios.
- Enable Encryption – Enable or disable OTA encryption on remote radios.
- Set Payload Encryption Phrase – Change the payload encryption phrase on remote
radios.
- Set Dlink Encryption Phrase – Change the Dlink encryption phrase on remote radios.
(Only used in transparent mode)
- Set SCD – Change the Soft Carrier Dekey value on the remote radios.
- Repeater Network Change – Change remote parameters that may need to be configured
when running in a network which uses a MDS™ Master Station as a repeater.
- Generic Dlink Message – Broadcast a custom Dlink command to all units on the system.
Arguments include the Dlink register to write to (in hex, no leading ‘0x’), and the DLink
value to write (in hex, no leading ‘0x’). The hex argument values must be full octects (e.g.
‘0F’ instead of ‘F’.
With the exception of the reboot command, these actions will cause permanent loss in
connectivity to the Master Station until the corresponding configuration changes are
made to the Master Station itself.
