Authorization code for different model

This command is used to add or remove authorization codes from the receiver. Authorization codes are used to authorize models of software for a receiver. Models control the functionality the receiver provides. The receiver is capable of keeping track of 24 authorization codes at one time. The MODEL command can then be used to switch between authorized models. The VALIDMODELS command lists the current available models in the receiver. The AUTHCODES log lists all authorization codes entered into the receiver. This simplifies the use of multiple software models on the same receiver.

If there is more than one valid model in the receiver, the receiver either uses the model of the last auth code entered via the AUTH command or the model that was selected by the MODEL command, whichever was done last. Adding an authorization code or using the MODEL command causes an automatic reset of the receiver. Removing an authorization code does not cause a reset.

Removing an authorization code will cause the receiver to permanently lose this information.

Field	Field Type	ASCII Value	Binary Value	Description	Format	Binary Bytes	Binary Offset
1	Command header	-	-	AUTH header This field contains the command name for abbreviated ASCII or the message header for ASCII or Binary.	-	H	0
2	state	See Table: AUTH Command State		Authorization code function to perform	Enum	4	H
3	part1	6 character ASCII string		Authorization code section 1	String [max. 16]	Variable1 In the binary case, each string field needs to be NULL terminated and additional bytes of padding added to maintain 4-byte alignment, up to the maximum defined by the string size. The next defined field starts immediately at the next 4-byte alignment following the NULL.	H+4
4	part2	6 character ASCII string		Authorization code section 2	String [max. 16]	Variable1	H+20
5	part3	6 character ASCII string		Authorization code section 3	String [max. 16]	Variable1	H+36
6	part4	6 character ASCII string		Authorization code section 4	String [max. 16]	Variable1	H+52
7	part5	6 character ASCII string		Authorization code section 5	String [max. 16]	Variable1	H+68
8	model	Alpha numeric	Null terminated	Model name of the receiver	String [max. 16]	Variable1	H+84
9	date	Numeric	Null terminated	Expiry date entered as yymmdd in decimal For binary, if the authorization code does not have an expiry date, enter 4 null characters.	String [max 7]	Variable1	Variable

AUTH Command State

ASCII	Binary	Description
REMOVE	0	Remove the authorization code from the system For this parameter, the Part1-Part5 fields can be entered as 0 0 0 0 0, and only the model name entered.
ADD	1	Add the authorization code to the system (default)
ADD_DOWNLOAD	4	Add the authorization code to the system (Deprecated: Use ADD instead)
ERASE_TABLE	7	Erase all authorization codes from the system. Requires a special authorization code to prevent against accidental erasing. The special authorization code required for this option is: PW5W2B,WW5TM9,WW2PCZ,WW3M4H,WW4HPG,ERASE_AUTH
CLEAN_TABLE	8	Remove all invalidated authorization codes from the system. When an authorization code is removed, it is simply invalidated and so it still uses one of the 24 spaces reserved for authorization codes in the receiver. Use the CLEAN_TABLE option to free up the spaces from removed authorization codes. The special authorization code required for this option is: 4DR69H,G369W8,34MNJJ,5NHXCJ,GW7C75,CLEAN_AUTH
