Figure D-3. ECM Message Processing – CDM-840 Remote Router
•
The CDM-840s are configured to receive the outbound carrier and are given a TAP (Group)
identifier number (default 1) that sets the internal filtering if multiple TAPs are used.
•
Upon receipt of the TAP message, the CDM-840 sets modem transmission parameters (if
required), initializes timing, and picks at random an SAS to start entry by sending a probe
(slot transmission).
•
The CDM-840, based on its current ECM state, either requests an assigned slot or waits to
be switched:
o An assigned slot request indicates to the HCC if the CDM-840 has more data (e.g.
registration protocol) to send.
o A switch request indicates that the CDM-840 is requesting dSCPC bandwidth. These two
flags are independent.
