Auto Home State Failsafe
A revert flag can now be added to the burst map on a per remote basis. This
provides a more reliable means of forcing a Remote—stuck in SCPC mode, for
example—that fails to respond to a standard VMS revert command to return to
the home state . As soon as the Remote sees the flag, it will transition from
SCPC mode to STDMA mode and send an acknowledement to the burst
controller.
SOTM (Satellite On The Move)
Features supporting SOTM required for maritime and other mobile applications
are now incorporated in this firmware release. Working in conjunction with the
ROSS (Roaming Oceanic Satellite Server), these features include the TEK
(Transmit Enable Keep-alive) message, a satellite ID, and an SOTM enable/
disable flag.
Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing incorporates the ability to accept routing table updates from
the VMS, such as when a change is detected from one TDM outbound to
another in a roaming application environment. In a fixed environment, this
feature allows the administrator to maintain route tables for his TDM(s) through
the VMS instead of at the modem level.
Dynamic QoS Rules
Used primarily in an SOTM environment, the VMS can now write QoS rules to
the Hub modems. As Remote units transition in and out of a TDM outbound,
QoS rules specifically pertaining to them are either added or subtracted.
