This chapter contains the theory of operation data for the satellite modem.
4.1
Monitor and Control (M&C)
The M&C monitors the modem and provides configuration updates to other modems
within the modem when necessary.
The modem configuration parameters are maintained in battery-backed RAM, which
provides total recovery after power-down situation.
The M&C functions include extensive fault and status reporting.
All modem functions are accessible through a local front panel interface and a remote
communications interface.
A block diagram of the M&C is shown in Figure 4-1.
