Compel™ 
System 
Control
The 
iPump 562
 IRD is most often controlled via the 
WEGENER
 
Compel
 
Control System
This system is managed at the uplink site, sending a control stream with the usual audio 
and video data streams. The 
Compel
 
System
 addresses units, and commands them to 
perform various functions.
Among its functions is the ability to enable or limit aspects of local control. Also, 
Compel
 has 
the ability to mute the audio and video of an IRD if it is inadvertently tuned to a frequency it 
is not authorized to receive.
If an RF Switch option module is installed, 
Compel
 controls which of the four RF feeds is 
being processed. For more information on this, see the 
Compel
 Manual, or contact your 
service provider.
There are four levels of control via 
Compel
. These levels are:
 
No Local Control - Push-buttons disabled
 
Read Only - No changes permitted
 
Limited - Changes may be made to Carrier Presets (pre-loaded values) only
 
Full - Full Local Control
