Compel™
System
Control

The

iPump 562

IRD is most often controlled via the

WEGENER

Compel

Control System

.

This system is managed at the uplink site, sending a control stream with the usual audio
and video data streams. The

Compel

System

addresses units, and commands them to

perform various functions.

Among its functions is the ability to enable or limit aspects of local control. Also,

Compel

has

the ability to mute the audio and video of an IRD if it is inadvertently tuned to a frequency it
is not authorized to receive.

If an RF Switch option module is installed,

Compel

controls which of the four RF feeds is

being processed. For more information on this, see the

Compel

Manual, or contact your

service provider.

There are four levels of control via

Compel

. These levels are:

No Local Control - Push-buttons disabled

Read Only - No changes permitted

Limited - Changes may be made to Carrier Presets (pre-loaded values) only

Full - Full Local Control
