CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module
Introduction
1.1.4

Verification

The unit includes many test modes and loopbacks for rapid verification of the correct
function of the unit. In particular, the IF loopback permits the user to perform a quick
diagnostic test without disturbing external cabling. During the loopback, all the receive
configuration parameters are temporarily changed to match the transmit side, and an
internal RF switch connects the modulator output to the demodulator input. When normal
operation is again selected, all of the previous values are restored.
