Automatic Switching for the CDD-56X is an option that is available only when
configured as an STDMA Hub unit (burst controller). Note that Automatic
switching does not apply to either a Hub with Expansion or a Remote with
Expansion; these configurations operate in dedicated SCPC mode and all
switching control is performed by the VMS. As is shown in table 2-2, Auto
Switching should be Disabled for these two configurations.
The Auto Switching feature must be Enabled (as described in the section
"Feature Configuration" on page 3-5) in order to allow any associated Remote
modems to perform STDMA/SCPC switching. In order for a Remote modem in
the group to be automatically switched between STDMA and SCPC modes, the
Auto Switching feature of that Remote must be Enabled as well.
Selecting Automatic Switching from the Vipersat Configuration menu
shown in figure 3-6 (enter A) for a CDD-56X operating as a network Hub will
display the menu shown in figure 3-38.
