Entering the NMASK command alone displays the current setting of

minor alarm events in hexadecimal format. Entering the

NMASK com-

mand followed by an eight-digit hexadecimal number reassigns each of

the 32 possible alarm events as enabled or disabled, with respect to

minor alarm output relay status and switchover criteria.

The hex value for the mask corresponds to the hex value for the

ALARM

command (see the

ALARM command description). Each bit that is a ‘1’

identifies the associated alarm event as a major alarm. Each bit that is a

‘0’ means that the alarm condition will not cause an alarm output relay

to be asserted, and will not cause a radio to switch over.

Contact Microwave Data Systems for more information on configuring

the alarm response.

Options Installed OPT

The OPT command lists each upgradable option and shows whether it is

installed (

ON) or not-installed (OFF). For example:

Several optional features can be implemented through the use of a soft-

ware “authorization code” which can be purchased from factory. The

availability of options will depend on what hardware is installed and

what features is permitted the telecommunications regulatory body in

your country. Please contact the factory for further information.
