CDM-570L Satellite Modem with IP Module

14.3.4 Configuration backup and restore via FTP

All IP Module configuration parameters are stored in a simple text file. The parameter file can
easily be retrieved locally or remotely by FTP. The file can then be used to quickly configure a
replacement modem if needed.

14.3.5 Event Logging to capture all IP MODULE activity

All IP Module activity can be stored into an easy-to-read Event Log. This file can also be
retrieved locally or remotely by FTP.

14.3.6 Detailed Statistics of IP traffic

IP traffic statistics are continuously updated and allow detailed performance analysis or can be
used to identify traffic problems. The statistics are available through the Serial Console locally,
or can be gathered remotely by Telnet, HTTP, or SNMP.

14.3.7 IGMP support for multicast

IGMP is a standard feature in the IP Module. If enabled, it responds to IGMP queries for the
configured multicast routes on the transmit side and generates IGMP queries on the receive side.
If there are no active IGMP receivers on the LAN, it will stop forwarding the multicast traffic
(received from the satellite) to the LAN.

14.3.8 CDM-570L Emulation Mode

With the IP module installed, the CDM-570L can be made to operate in CDM-570L emulation
mode, allowing any traffic to be sent and received using any serial port . The emulation mode is
selected from the front panel by selecting Configuration/Interface and then selecting either RS-
422, V.35, RS-232, or G.703 as the interface rather than IP. The CDM-570L will then pass
standard serial traffic, but will not pass IP traffic. The IP Module can still be accessed via the
ethernet port using Telnet, HTTP, or SNMP for configuring or monitoring the CDM-570L.

14.3.9 Static IP routing for unicast and multicast

Up to 256 static routes can be entered into the IP Module to direct IP traffic over the satellite or
to another device on the local LAN.
