set parameters and display information about the BUC. The descriptions given
are based on using ASCII protocol.
The commands consist of a 3-letter mnemonic and, in some cases, command
data.
Generally, the first letter of the command determines the type of command (that
is, H = Help, V = View, S = Set, R = Reset, O = Output) and the last two letters
uniquely define the command.
The BUC is insensitive to the case of the command text.
These commands may be used in a terminal session on either the M/C connector
via cable 08-05972-002, or the LAN connector via cable 08-06956-xxx. The
LAN interface is only available for 7700/7900 series BUCs. For information on
setting up the LAN interface see Application Note: Setting up the RBUC to
connect to a LAN, 17-60116.

Set Tx On
Function
Switches transmit on or off by controlling the PA of the BUC.
Command and input data
STOn
n = 0, switches off transmit
n = 1, switches on transmit (default)
Comments
To switch on the PA, all three serial interfaces (RS232, RS422/485 and FSK) must be set
to STO1. STO1 is the default setting for all of the serial interfaces.
A built-in safety feature only allows transmit to be switched on via the interface that was
used to switch it off originally.
STO1 cannot be used to switch on transmit if an internal fault has occurred in the BUC.
NOTE
For CE-certified operation you must set the transmit default state to Off
(STD0). You must use STO1 after power-up, or in the event of a power
failure, to switch on transmit when the STD0 feature is used.

Use n = 0 for broadband operation (default), which broadly compensates over the whole
bandwidth of the BUC.
NOTE
When a Standard band modem is used with an Extended band noninverting BUC, the upper 250 MHz of the band is not available.
Comments
Set temperature compensation at either the IF or RF frequency. The BUC calculates the
corresponding RF or IF compensation frequency automatically. This provides the least
gain variation over temperature.
The BUC uses the frequency that is set for the internal temperature compensation and
other calibration functions.
If multiple carriers are being transmitted and the frequency is limited to a narrow band
(for example, over one transponder), set the IF or RF compensation frequency to the
nominal centre frequency of the operating band. This covers a bandwidth of 40 MHz
typically.
If the carrier frequency is unknown, set the IF or RF compensation frequency to zero,
which covers the whole band of the BUC, typically 500 MHz.
The IF or RF compensation frequency range is dependent on the model of the BUC and
the LO setting.
NOTE
Setting the compensation frequency does not set the RF output frequency.

Set Tx Attenuator
Function
Sets the transmit attenuation of the BUC in dB.
Command and input data
STAn
n = 0 to 12 dB in 4 dB steps for 6700/6900 series BUCs
n = 0 to 15 dB in 1 dB steps for 7700/7900 series BUCs
NOTE
Comments
Maximum gain is at an attenuation setting of 0 dB.
To minimise the possible effects of interference it is preferable to have a high transmit
attenuation and a high IF level from the modem. Therefore, the BUC attenuator should
be set as high as possible, consistent with the required BUC output power, transmit IF
cable loss and maximum IF output level capability of the modem.
Page 14 of 48
Comments
The allowable threshold range depends upon the model of the BUC. Use VLD to display
the upper and lower limits of the allowable range for your BUC (see page 8, View Limit
Data).
If the transmit power falls below the set threshold, an alarm is generated (see VFS
command).
Page 15 of 48
Set LO Freq
Function
Sets the local oscillator frequency in MHz.
Command and input data
SLOn
n = 7300 or 7375 MHz (C-Band 6700/7700 series Standard BUCs)
n = 7300, 7375, 7600 or 7675 MHz (C-Band 6700/7700 series Extended BUCs)
n = 13050 MHz (Ku-Band 7900 series Standard BUCs)
n = 12800 MHz (Ku-Band 7900 series Extended BUCs)
NOTE
Comments
Before you change the LO frequency setting you should switch off transmission using
STO0.
It is not necessary to use SLOn with Ku-Band BUCs.
Page 16 of 48
Page 17 of 48
The default is 1.
Comments
The packet address range depends on the packet protocol selected (see page 18, Set
Packet Protocol).
For information on protocols, contact your Codan representative.

Reset BUC
Function
Resets the BUC settings to the settings at power-up (that is, it has the same effect as
switching the power off then on again). The maximum and minimum readings for the
burst mode power are cleared, the LO synthesiser is reloaded and, if the transmit default
state is set to Off, the PA of the BUC is switched off.
Command
RST
Page 22 of 48
NOTE
If you have a C-Band BUC, you should switch off the carrier at the
modem before using this command. This prevents transmission on an
undesired frequency. When you have reset the LO frequency, switch
transmission on.
