Burstmap Multicast IP
This menu item is used to define the IP address for the Burstmap Multicast that
is sent out by the STDMA burst controller at the Hub to all of the associated
remotes in that group. This address must be the same for all members of the
group. The burstmap is a proprietary message sent from the Hub to all remotes,
at regular intervals, specifying the relative start time and duration for each
terminal to transmit.
To change the current address, enter N at the command prompt to display the
dialog shown in figure 3-11.

Outbound IP
This menu item, which appears for all Hub configurations, displays the current
Outbound IP address. This specifies the Hub device that is supplying the TDM
outbound to the satellite (typically a CDM-570/570L). Specifying this address is
necessary when configuring a Hub that utilizes a burst controller that is a sepa-
rate device from the TDM modem.
This address must also be defined when the DPC feature is to be used. The
Outbound IP address will be the same as the burst controller IP address when
the burst controller and the TDM modem are the same device.
To define the TDM outbound address, enter O at the command prompt. The
dialog shown in figure 3-12 will be displayed.
