CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module Revision 4
Introduction MN/CDM570L.IOM
1–5
With FAST technology, operators have maximum flexibility for enabling functions as
they are required. FAST allows an operator to order a modem precisely tailored for the
initial application.
1.3.3 Implementation
FAST is factory-implemented in the modem at the time of order. Hardware options for
basic modems can be ordered and installed either at the factory or in the field. The
operator can select options that can be activated easily in the field, depending on the
current hardware configuration of the modem. The Activation Procedure is described in
Appendix C.
1.3.4 Hardware Options
There are three hardware options available: Reed-Solomon Codec, Turbo Product Codec,
and the IP Module Ethernet Interface. These cards fit into expansion slots on the main
circuit board.
1.3.5 Supporting Hardware and Software
CDM-570L: For 1:1 applications the modem is supported by the CRS-170, a low-cost
external switch. For Hub applications, the CDM-570L is supported by a low-cost 1:N
switch, the CRS-300, with the CRS-280L.
CDM-570: For 1:1 applications the modem is supported by the CRS-180, a low-cost
external switch. For Hub applications, the CDM-570 is supported by a low-cost 1:N
switch, the CRS-300, with the CRS-280.
The CDM-570/570L is supported by Comtech EF Data’s CMCS software, a Windows
TM
based application that provides a ‘point and click’ interface for complete systems of
Comtech EF Data equipment, comprising Modems, Transceivers, and Redundancy
Switches. For more information, or to order a free demo disk, please contact the factory.
1.4 Compatibility
The CDM-570/570L is fully backwards-compatible with the Comtech EF Data
CDM-500, CDM-550, and CDM-550T modems, in addition to the CDM-600,
CDM-600L, SDM-300 and SDM-300L in selected modes.
Note: For CDM-570/570L with IP Module Ethernet Interface Option – The
CDM-570/570L is fully backward-compatible with the Comtech EF Data CDM-IP 550
and CDM-IP 300L in selected modes.
