Chapter 11. CDI-70 1000 Base-T
(GbE) INTERFACE

11.1 Introduction

The CDI-70 Gigabit Base-T Ethernet Interface or GbE performs a Motion Picture Expert Group
(MPEG-2) packet decapsulation operation on ingress Internet Protocol (IP) packets received from
the Local Area Network (LAN). MPEG-2 packets are extracted from the active (of up to two
multicast) connection and forwards the extracted MPEG-2 packets to Wide Area Network
(WAN) (satellite connection). In addition, an MPEG-over-IP transmit function is performed, in
which MPEG-2 packets are received from the WAN and are encapsulated in IP packets and
transmitted to the LAN (egress).
The GbE Interface is shown in Figure 11-1. Monitor and Control (M&C) information is not
supported on the GbE Interface but available through the 10/100 Base-T remote port of the
modem. The GbE Interface supports data rates from 1.5Mbps to either 80.376 Mbps with SMPTE
2022 (formerly Pro-MPEG COP3) FEC enabled or 124 Mbps with SMPT 2022 / Pro-MPEG
COP3 FEC disabled. The user interface to the GbE card is a single IEEE 802.3ab 1000 Base-T
copper compliant female RJ-45 connector wired as described in Table 11-1
