Ip Module Optional Features - Comtech EF Data CDM-570L Installation And Operation Manual

CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module
IP Module Ethernet Interface Overview
easyConnect™ mode will automatically use Header Compression for compressing
Layer 2 (even if Header Compression option has not been purchased). Because of
this, some of the initial traffic sent between two devices will not be received over the
IMPORTANT
satellite until a full Header is transmitted. For example, the default Header
Compression Refresh Rate is 50 packets. If a ping is sent over the satellite, then it
will time out until the full Header packet is sent. The Header Compression Refresh
Rate on the Administration Menu can be reduced to minimize the amount of traffic
lost when traffic is first sent between two devices. Once communication between two
devices has been established, both IP modems will be able to receive all traffic,
unless one IP modem is power cycled or reset. Header Compression feature should
be enabled for compressing Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 5.
Do not enable IF Loopback (or link the TX to RX by a BNC cable or satellite) on a IP
modem operating in easyConnect™ mode when connected to a LAN. In this
configuration, easyConnect™ will resend all layer 2 broadcast packets and cause a
IMPORTANT
"broadcast storm" on the LAN. To perform a loop test to verify the modem or satellite
link, do one of the following:

IP Module Optional Features

Enhancing the IP Module performance is easy. Additional features can be added quickly
on site, using the FAST access code purchased from Comtech EF Data. To enable these
features, simply enter the code at the front panel.

FAST Options (except 3xDES Encryption) for evaluation. Once enabled, the IP
FAST Options will be available for a total time period of seven (7) days (168
hours). The 7-day Demo Mode is a cumulative counter (can be stopped and
started at any time).
