Supporting Hardware And Software; Compatibility - Comtech EF Data CDM-600L Installation And Operation Manual

CDM-600L Satellite Modem
Introduction
The fourth hardware option is the Receive IF Impedance and Connector. The receive IF
may be configured with either a Type F female connector at 75Ω impedance, or a Type N
female connector at 50Ω impedance. This option must also be fitted in the factory at the
time of order.
The fifth hardware option is an internal power supply for the BUC. This power supply
provides 24V (100W max.) or 48V (150W max.) power to the BUC on the center
conductor of the transmit cable. This hardware option can be fitted in the factory at the
time of order, or be installed in the field as an upgrade kit.

Supporting Hardware and Software

The CDM-600L incorporates an FSK serial link that can be activated on the TX-IF port
for purpose of communicating with an FSK capable BUC. In this manner, a user may
monitor, configure, and control the BUC using the front panel display and keypad of the
modem or the modem's remote control interface. The EDMAC channel can be used to
convey M&C interface to a BUC at the distant end of a satellite link if it is connected to a
CDM-600L. This FSK interface with the BUC includes a BUC output power leveling
mode where the modem M&C monitors the detected BUC output power level reported on
the FSK link, and automatically adjusts the modem transmit output power to maintain a
constant BUC transmit output level.
The CDM-600L is supported by Comtech EF Data's SatMac software, a Windows
based application that provides a 'point and click' interface for complete systems of
Comtech equipment, comprising Modems, Transceivers, and Redundancy Switches. For

Compatibility

The CDM-600L is fully backwards-compatible with the Comtech EF Data CDM-500,
CDM-550, CDM-550T, and CDM-600 modems.
Being an Open Network Modem, the CDM-600L is fully compatible with modems from
other manufacturers that are compliant with the IESS-308/-309/-310/-314/-315
specifications.
