Ericsson Multi-Format Receiver RX1290 - Manual (Page 69)

Operating the Equipment Remotely
4.1 Remote Control
4.1.1 Introduction
The Multi-Format Receiver can be remotely controlled in a variety of ways. The
basic control methods are:
• nCompass
Control
• Third-party application using SNMP MIB protocol
• Third-party application using Alteia remote control protocol (RS-232/RS-485)
• Director

Common for all control methods is that the Multi-Format Receiver needs to be set-
up to accept the remote control handling. Once in remote control mode, it cannot be
locally controlled unless the remote control is deactivated.
