6.2.1.9 CONFIG: EDMAC
Appendix H. EDMAC CHANNEL
Embedded Distant-end Monitor And Control (EDMAC) is a Comtech-proprietary framing that
permits communication access to the distant-end modem.
Without the proper active framing mode, the menu appears as follows:
EDMAC Mode= Idle (Idle,Master,Slave)
()
You must otherwise use the CONFIG: Mode menu to set framing for EDMAC, EDMAC-2, EDMAC-
3, or D&I++.
With the proper active framing mode, the menu appears as follows:
EDMAC Mode= Master (Idle,Master,Slave)
EDMAC Address= 0020 ()
Use the ▲▼ arrow keys to select the mode as Idle, Master, or Slave. Press ENTER.
If the mode is Master or Slave, the bottom line shows an address. To edit the address, use the
◄ ► arrow keys to select a digit, and then use the ▲▼ arrow keys to change that digit. Press
ENTER.
Note that:
• An EDMAC Master is a modem that is local to the M&C computer, and which passes
messages, via the overhead, to a distant-end modem. The Master address always ends in
‘0’.
• An EDMAC Slave is a modem that is not local to the M&C computer. It is at the ‘distant-end’
of a satellite link. The Slave EDMAC address always ends in ‘1’. When configured as a Slave,
reconfiguration is expected to be via the EDMAC link, and is therefore not permitted via the
front panel or via serial remote control.
