MC BAUD
<baud
rate>
1200,2400,
4800, 9600,
19200, 38400
bps
38400 bps
Sets the asynchronous interface baud rate for the
RS-232 remote control port configuration.
Note: The HE4000 and remote terminal baud
rates must match in order for the remote
terminal and HE4000 to communicate. Once the
MC RS232_BAUD rate command is issued, the
equivalent parameter in the remote unit
software settings must be set to match the new
baud rate. However, the remote unit software
settings must not be changed before issuing
the DVB default command to the HE4000, as the
remote unit will not be able to communicate
with the HE4000.
MC CONTACT
<characters>
256 character
string
See
Description
Sets contact info for the system
Accepts a string of up to 256 characters.

Sets the HE4000 internal date. The date is set in
mm/dd/yyyy format where:
● mm = month from 01 to 12
● dd = day of the month from 01 to 31
● yyyy = current year
For example, to set the date to June 21, 2003,
issue the command MC DATE 06/21/2003
Set current date The date may be entered in
many formats. For example,
the 17th day of June in 2005 may be entered
as any of the following:
● Jun 17, 2005 (no space after comma,
Can be spelled out completely for entry)
● 6/17/2005
● 17 Jun 2005
Note: The HE4000 real- time clock includes a
battery backup source. If the unit loses power,
is turned off, or reset, the real-time clock
reverts to the current day and time. This
backup power will only last for
approximately one week.
