CRS-300 1:10 Redundancy Switch Revision 16
Addressing Scheme Information MN/CRS300.IOM
B–2
B.2 Switch Addresses
The permitted Switch remote control addresses are limited:
• For EIA-485 connections, the only permitted addresses are 1000, 3000, 5000, and 7000.
• For EIA-232, the only permitted address is 0000.
Note: The Switch settings for external communications are totally independent from the internal
communication between Switch and traffic modems.
B.3 Modem and Transceiver Addresses
To monitor and control modems and transceivers at the distant-end of the communication link,
EDMAC must be enabled, via the modem front panel, in local mode. Set the Tx and Rx
parameters to establish the link on the modems on each end of the link. Then an M&C application
can be used.
Examples of EIA-232 and EIA-485 addressing schemes are shown in the diagrams that follow.
Included in these diagrams is the following terminology:
Abbreviation Explanation
MCA
Monitor & Control Address, to be entered as the address of a unit into an M&C
application, e.g., SatMac.
Modem addresses are automatically assigned by the TMI/RMI slot positions to
which they are associated within a Switch.
When using EIA-485 multi-drop, the Switch bus address be changed on the
Switch by the User to 1000, 3000, 5000, 7000, or 9000 (7000 is shown in the
figures in this appendix as an example only).
RCA
Remote Control Address, to be configured, via the unit front panel
(CONFIG:REMOTE)
ESA
EDMAC Slave Address (Range)
Local modem is configured as EDMAC master
Distant-end modem is an EDMAC slave
The CDM-700/710 and SLM-5650/5650A modems utilize a point-to-point internal serial
communications bus to the Switch within the HD-15 cable. Figure B-1 illustrates an external
EIA-232 addressing scheme for these
modems; Figure B-2 depicts an external EIA-485
connection.
The CDM-Qx/QxL m
odems require an external multi-drop EIA-485 connection. Figure B-3
illustrates the external EIA-232 addressing scheme fo
r a system comprising these modems with a
Switch; Figure B-4 d
e
picts the external EIA-485 connection for this configuration. For a distant-
end CRS-300/Qx Switch using Traffic modems in EDMAC Slave mode, refer to Figure B-5.
The CDM-570/570L, CDM-600/600L
and CDM-625 modems utilize point-to-point internal serial
communication bus to the Switch within the DB-25 or DB-9 cable. Figure B-6 illu
strates an
external EIA-232 addressing scheme for these modems; Figure B-7 dep
i
cts an external EIA-485
connection.
