Configuring the CDM-570A/570AL for Carrier ID Operation

Carrier ID operation requires that you first enable Carrier ID feature operation, and then create a
MetaCarrier Custom Message. All other parameters (center frequency, symbol rate, and the
CDM-570A/570AL's MAC address) are set automatically. The CDM-570A/570AL provides several
means for configuring Carrier ID operation:
•
Local Control via the CDM-570A/570AL Front Panel keypad and VFD.
•
Remote Control with a user-supplied PC via the
CDM-570A/570AL HTTP (Web Server) Interface using a compatible Web browser.
o
Serial-based or Telnet-based Remote Control Interface using a terminal emulation
o
program or Windows Command-line.
Ethernet-based Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) using a Network
o
Management System (NMS) and Management Information Base (MIB) File Browser.
USE OF THE SERIAL-BASED REMOTE CONTROL INTERFACE, THE TELNET-
BASED REMOTE CONTROL INTERFACE, AND THE ETHERNET-BASED SNMP
INTERFACE ARE RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS. COMTECH
EF DATA STRONGLY ENCOURAGES USE OF THE CDM-570A/570AL FRONT
PANEL OR HTTP (WEB SERVER) INTERFACE FOR MONITOR AND CONTROL
(M&C) OF THE CDM-570A/570AL.
