FAST Accessible Options

Comtech EF Data's FAST system allows immediate implementation of different options
through the user interface keypad, or via the remote control interface. All FAST options
are available through the basic platform unit.

FAST System Theory

FAST is an enhancement feature available in Comtech EF Data products, enabling on-
location upgrade of the operating feature set without removing a modem from the setup.
When service requirements change, the operator can upgrade the topology of the modem
to meet those requirements within minutes after confirmation by Comtech EF Data. This
accelerated upgrade can be accomplished because of FAST's extensive use of
programmable logic devices incorporated into Comtech EF Data's products. A unique
access code enables configuration of the available hardware. The access code can be
purchased at any time from Comtech EF Data. Once obtained, the access code is loaded
into the unit through the front panel keyboard or the rear remote port.
