Ethernet Interlock: Description of ANT Interlock

dk2ro

Hi,
we are trying to implement a hot switch protection for our remote controlled antenna switch.

The the SmartSDR Ethernet API allows to install a software based interlock system.
I can create an interlock with: "interlock create type=ANT name=AntennaSwitch serial=73001"

But I have difficulty to understand the Description: "ANT External antenna controller - interlock state always controlled by external device"

I can make the interlock ready with "interlock ready"
But how to get the interlock back to not_ready state?

For the AMP type interrupt it is clearly stated "interlock assumes a return to not_ready state after each PTT"
But how is the ANT type interrupt handled?
Is there a "interlock not_ready" command?

Try:

interlock not_ready <id>

I want to know what I can do to stop my interlock issue. I have a hex beam, and an 8/40 diapole

It looks like as of SmartSDR v3.8, we only reset the einterlock objects of type AMP when we stop a transmission. I have a question in with the software folks to figure out whether that was intentional or an oversight.
