CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module
Introduction
Plesiochronous/Doppler buffer, which has a programmable size, or may be bypassed. From here,
the receive clock and data signals are routed to the terrestrial interface, and are passed to the
externally connected DTE equipment.
The CDM-570/570L signal processing functions are performed in a single, large
Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), which permits rapid implementation of changes,
additions and enhancements in the field. These signal processing functions are controlled and
monitored by a 32-bit RISC microprocessor, which also controls all front panel, serial and
Ethernet interfaces.

Features

1.3.1

Physical Description

The CDM-570/570L is constructed as a 1RU-high rack-mounting chassis, which can be free-
standing if desired. Rack handles at the front facilitate removal from and placement into a rack.
Physically, the modem is comprised of a single PCB assembly with two expansion slots for FEC
codecs and other option cards.
1.3.2

Compatibility

The CDM-570/570L is fully backwards-compatible with the Comtech EF Data CDM-500,
CDM-550, and CDM-550T modems, in addition to the CDM-600, CDM-600L, SDM-300 and
SDM-300L in selected modes.
For CDM-570/570Ls with the V1 or V2 IP Module Ethernet Interface Options: The
CDM-570/570L is fully backward-compatible with the Comtech EF Data CDM-IP
550 and CDM-IP 300L in selected modes.
