D.6.1 Transmit (Tx) Commands and Queries
Tx Priority System = ITF (Highest priority), FRM, TFT, TMD, TCR, and TDR (Lowest Priority), indicated by shading. Any change to
a higher priority parameter can override any of the parameters of lower priority.

Response to
Query
Unit
Interface Type
ITF=
1 byte,
value of 0 thru 8
Command or Query.
Terrestrial interface type, where:
0=EIA-422/EIA530 DCE
1=V.35 DCE
2=EIA-232 (sync).
3= G.703 T1 AMI (forces Rx and Tx data rates to 1544 kbps)
4= G.703 T1 B8ZS (forces Rx and Tx data rates to 1544 kbps)
5= G.703 E1 Unbal AMI (forces Rx and Tx rates to 2048 kbps)
6= G.703 E1 Unbal HDB3 (forces Rx and Tx rates to 2048 kbps)
7= G.703 E1 Bal AMI (forces Rx and Tx rates to 2048 kbps)
8= G.703 E1 Bal HDB3 (forces Rx and Tx rates to 2048 kbps)
9 = IP Interface
Example: ITF=2 (V.35)
Note: When ITF is set to be G.703, Clock Extension Mode is automatically set to be
0=None. Reply: ITF+

Unit Framing
Mode
FRM=
1 byte,
value of 0 or 1
Command or Query.

Tx FEC Type
TFT=
1 byte,
value of 0 thru 6
Command or Query.
Tx FEC coding type, where:
0=None (uncoded - no FEC) (Forces TCR=7 1/1) with differential encoding ON
1=Viterbi
2=Viterbi + Reed-Solomon
3=Reserved – do not use
4= Reserved – do not use
5=TCM + Reed-Solomon (Forces TCR=3 2/3)
6=Turbo
Example: TFT=1 (which is Viterbi coding)
