Channel Identification Command (CIC)
When the monitor channel address byte is 80H or 90H, a command of 00H is interpreted by the QSLAC device as a
two byte Channel Identification Command (CIC).
The format for this command is shown next.:
B = 0
Channel 1 is the destination
B = 1
Channel 2 is the destination
Immediately after the last bit of the CIC command is received, the QSLAC device responds with the 2 byte
channel ID code:
B = 0
Channel 1 is the source
B = 1
Channel 2 is the source
CONF
Configuration value is always 0000 for the QSLAC device
DT
Device Type value is always 1,0: Analog Transceiver. Other types are defined as:
General Structure of Other Commands
When the QSLAC device has completed transmission of the channel ID information, it sends an EOM (MX = 1 for two
successive frames) on the upstream C/I channel. The QSLAC device also expects an EOM to be received on the
downstream C/I channel before any further message sequences are received.
When the monitor channel address byte is 81H, 89H, 91H, or 99H, the command byte is interpreted by the QSLAC
device as either a Transfer Operation (TOP), Status Operation (SOP), or a Coefficient Operation (COP).
A = 0; Channel 1 is the destination
A = 1; Channel 2 is the destination
B = 0; Data destination determined by A
B = 1; Both channels 1 and 2 receive the data
Commands are sent to the QSLAC device to:
s Read the status of the system without changing its operation (Transfer Operation (TOP) command)
s Write/read the QSLAC operating state (Status Operation (SOP) command)
s Write/read filter coefficients (Coefficient Operation (COP) command).
