When configured as an Expansion unit, either as a Hub (switched) or as a
Remote (mesh), the CDD-56X is set up so that all demods are in SCPC mode
and available as resources for dedicated communications with the other end of
the satellite link.
For a Remote configuration, this parameter must be set to Yes. For a Hub
configuration, this parameter can be set to either No or Yes. Refer to table 2-1
and table 2-2 for a breakdown of network roles and related functions and
features.

Network ID

The Network ID that is assigned to the unit defines to what network the target
CDD-56X will belong. All units used in a network will have the same Network
ID. Enter B at the command prompt in the Vipersat Configuration screen
(figure 3-5) to display the dialog shown in figure 3-43.

The Network ID is used by the VMS to identify units that are common to a
network and allows the VMS to manage multiple networks, each with its own
unique Network ID number.

used to assign a name to the target CDD-56X. Enter N at the command prompt
to display the dialog shown in figure 3-44 . Any name, up to 16 characters, can
