Initial Configuration

Note: Many of the settings required for equipment configuration are based on
NOTE

Terminal Connection

These procedures are performed using the CLI from a workstation connected to
the CDD-56X either via a direct connection to the Console port (a console cable
is shipped with each unit), or via a telnet connection to the Traffic 100 port.
Alternatively, HyperTerminal or any of the other connection methods described
in the CDD-564L L-band Quad Demodulator Installation and Operation
Manual may be used.
Make a terminal connection to the target CDD-56X demodulator/router. If
connecting via the Traffic 100 Ethernet port (do not use the M&C port), enter
the IP address of the unit. The factory default IP address for a Vipersat enabled
unit is 192.168.254.2. Configure the terminal for VT-100 emulation mode.
Once a terminal connection has been made, the CDD-56X will respond with a
Login prompt. The factory defaults are:
Once the operator has logged in, the Main Menu shown in figure 2-1 is
displayed.

Network Role

The first and most important step prior to configuring the CDD-56X is to define
its network role.
The CDD-56X is a flexible network component able to perform different func-
tions depending on how it is used in a network. The role that is defined for each
CDD-56X will determine what functions are available for each unit to fill its
role. Refer to the section "Unit Role" on page 3-35, and the following section
"Expansion Unit", for details on setting a CDD-56X's network role. Table 2-1
lists the network roles and the corresponding network functions for which the
CDD-56X can be configured.

the network administrator.
