INTERFACE (GBEI)
D.1 Overview
The CDI-70 10/100/1000 Base-T Gigabit Ethernet Interface (GBEI) (Figure D-1) is
a plug-in module that installs into the rear of the CDM-710 or CDM-710L High-
Speed Satellite Modem chassis (Figure D-2). It serves as an Ethernet bridge for
data traffic. Monitor and Control (M&C) information is not supported on this
interface but is available through the 10/100 Base-T remote port of the modem.

The CDI-70 GBEI provides 10/100/1000 Base-T connectivity and supports data
rates from 1 Mbps to 155 Mbps. IP traffic entering the interface is encapsulated
in HDLC protocol for transmission over the satellite link. In normal mode, the
packets are passed unaltered. For VLAN mode, native VLAN processing and/or
