Enter R at the command prompt to toggle the Unit Role to either Hub or
Remote.
This parameter will determine the role the target CDM-570/570L will per-
form in the network and what type of commands and functions it will
receive from the VMS.
Enter E to set the Expansion Unit value (Yes or No).
When configured as an expansion unit, either as a hub (switched) or as a
remote (mesh), the CDM-570/570L is set up so that the demod is in SCPC
mode and available as a resource for dedicated communications with the
other end of the satellite link.
Enter B at the command prompt to set the Network ID.
The Network ID that is assigned to the unit defines to what network the
target CDM-570/570L will belong. All units used in a network will have
the same Network ID. This parameter is used by the VMS to identify units
common to a network and allows the VMS to manage multiple networks,
each with its own unique network ID number.
Enter N at the command prompt to set the Unit Name.
Enter V at the command prompt to set the Receive Multicast Address.
This IP address is the multicast address assigned to the VMS and to all
units in the network that are managed by the VMS. The Receive Multicast
Address of this CDM-570/570L must match the Transmit Multicast
Address that has been assigned to the VMS.
