A Comtech EF Data overhead channel is provided so that the modem is capable of operating in such closed networks over commercial satellites IAW Intelsat requirements for use during closed network operation.
Page 32: Secure Management Interfaces
1.3.3.3 Data Interfaces The SLM-5650B supports only one data interface at a time. The modem features two native data interfaces (TIA/EIA-530/422 and TIA/EIA-613 [HSSI]), plus an option slot for installation of a modular data interface. The optional modular interfaces available at this time are the Network Processor, G.703, LVDS, and GigE Bridge.
Page 33: 10/100/1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet)
IP packet traffic is framed via High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) encapsulation by the SLM-5650B logic, and the SLM-5650B is both the origination and termination point for HDLC encapsulation. HDLC CRC-16 verification is performed on all received (from WAN) HDLC frames.
Page 34: Independent Tx And Rx Function
Updating Modem Firmware Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE The SLM-5650B stores its firmware in flash memory, which allows the modem to upload firmware downloads from an external PC once Ethernet connectivity has been established. Firmware updates for the Base Modem and NP Interface Module may be obtained free from Comtech EF Data via the CEFD Web site or via e-mail from Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours.

The modem must be in the Low Security mode (SNMP Type = SNMPV1V2c) in order to update firmware. The SLM-5650B Satellite Modem stores its firmware internally in flash memory, which simplifies the firmware updating process. The firmware update, once acquired, can be transferred from an external user PC once Ethernet connectivity has been established with the modem.
Page 72: 4.1.1 About Firmware Files, Naming, Versions, And Archive Formats
The SLM-5650B is factory-shipped with the latest version of operating firmware. If a firmware update is needed, it can be acquired by download from Comtech EF Data’s website, as shown in Section 4.1.2, or from Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours via e- mail or on CD by standard mail delivery.

Page 395: Appendix D. Modem Options
Appendix D. MODEM OPTIONS Forward Error Correction Options As standard, the SLM-5650B Satellite Modem is equipped with three Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoders/decoders: Viterbi, Trellis and TURBO (or Turbo Product Codes). The constraint lengths and encoding polynomials are not only Open Network compatible, but are also Closed Network compatible with the vast majority of existing modems from other manufacturers.
Page 396: Trellis Coding (Fast Option
SLM-5650B Satellite Modem Revision 2 Table D-1. Viterbi Decoding Summary AGAINST Good BER performance - very useful coding gain. Higher coding gain possible with other methods Almost universally used, with de facto standards for constraint length and coding polynomials Shortest decoding delay (~100 bits) of any FEC scheme - good for coded voice, VOIP, etc Short constraint length produce small error bursts;...
Page 397: Reed-Solomon Outer Codec
SLM-5650B Satellite Modem Revision 2 The modem fully implements the IESS-310 specification at data rates up to 51.84 Mbps. In accordance with the specification, the R-S outer code cannot be disabled. Table D-2. 8-PSK/TCM Coding Summary AGAINST Exceptionally bandwidth efficient compared to QPSK...
Page 398: Closed Network Mode
This may be due to the carrier-recovery circuits, or the synchronization threshold of the primary FEC device, or both. In the SLM-5650B Satellite Modem and Rate 1/2 operation, this threshold is around 4 dB Eb/No. Below this value, operation is not possible, but above this value, the error performance of the concatenated R-S system produces exceptionally low error rates for a very small increase in Eb/No.
Page 399: Turbo Product Codec
Turbo Codes have been developed, Turbo Convolutional Codes (TCC), and Turbo Product Codes (TPC, a block coding technique). Comtech EF Data has chosen to implement an FEC codec based on TPC. A Turbo Product Code is a 2 or 3-dimensional array of block codes. Encoding is relatively straightforward, but decoding is a very complex process requiring multiple iterations of processing for maximum performance to be achieved.
Page 400: Sequential (Fast Option
SLM-5650B Satellite Modem Revision 2 Sequential (FAST Option) Although the method of convolutional coding and Sequential decoding appears to be very similar to the Viterbi method, there are some fundamental differences. To begin with, the convolutional encoder is said to be systematic – it does not alter the input data, and the FEC overhead bits are simply appended to the data.
Page 401: Low Density Parity Check (Ldpc) Coding (Fast Option
SLM-5650B Satellite Modem Revision 2 Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) Coding (FAST Option) D.8.1 Introduction In the past few years there has been an unprecedented resurgence in interest in FEC technology. The start of this new interest has its origins in the work done by Claude Berrou et al, and the 1993 landmark paper, Near Shannon Limit Error Correcting Coding and Decoding –...
Page 402: Ldpc Versus Tpc
Figure D-7. TPC & LDPC Modes Performance (Relative to Shannon Limit) In order to provide a robust set of LDPC codes with varying degrees of latency, the SLM-5650B has implemented three different block sizes: The Ultra Low Latency (ULL) code provides the lowest latency, but worst performance of the three block sizes.
Page 403 SLM-5650B Satellite Modem Revision 2 The Low Latency (LL) code provides modest latency and performance over the data rate range of 32 kbps to 5 Mbps. The High Performance (HP) code provides the best performance but worst latency. This code is available from 32 kbps up to 69 Mbps depending on MODCOD.
Page 404: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (Fast Option
Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) fashion. When using large spreading factors, the SLM-5650B also exhibits a large tolerance to jamming – up to 24 dB – and a Low Probability of Detection/Interception. With DSSS enabled, the lower data rate limit has been reduced to 8 kbps.
