Slot Cycle Length; Slot Start In Cycle; Set Remotes; Figure 3-16 Slot Data Length (Nominal) - Comtech EF Data Vipersat CDM-570 User Manual

Depending on the Hub type that is defined for the modem, the appearance of
this parameter will vary:
• Fixed – Slot Data Length
• Dynamic Slot – Nominal Data Length, Minimum Data Length
• Dynamic Cycle – Maximum Data Length, Minimum Data Length
• Entry Channel – Slot Data Length, Minimum Data Length
• GIR – Minimum Data Length
On a Hub unit, entering B and M at the command prompt brings up the dialogs
for specifying the data length in milli-seconds for the target CDM-570/570L, as
shown in figure 3-16.
On Remote units, this menu item is an information-only display.

Slot Cycle Length

This menu item is for information only and displays the Slot Cycle Length in
milli-seconds and bytes for the remotes in the group. This value represents the
total amount of time—preamble, data length, and guardband—allocated to the
remote modem during one spin cycle.

Slot Start in Cycle

This menu item is an information-only display for Remote modems, and indi-
cates how much time passes from the start of the spin cycle until this Remote is
provided a time slot. In the example shown in figure 3-8, the Remote is
provided the first slot in the cycle (0 mSec).

Set Remotes

This menu item appears in the STDMA screen when the Unit Role is Hub.
