Configuration | MEO (Medium Earth Orbit)

MEO is non-functional when the optional CnC feature is enabled.
CDM-625A modems are configurable for continuous pairing as Primary and non-Primary
Modems in an Antenna Handover System when the MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) feature is
enabled. Ethernet data traffic is transmitted and received via the Primary and Non-Primary
CDM-625A's four 10/100 Ethernet ports. The Antenna Handover signal received from the user-
provided IF/RF switch determines which modem is the ONLINE or OFFLINE unit:
•
The ONLINE unit transmits traffic only to the WAN side while, at the same time, the
OFFLINE unit's Tx is muted.
• Both the ONLINE and OFFLINE units receive the satellite traffic, but only the ONLINE unit
forwards traffic to the LAN side while the OFFLINE unit drops the packets.
•
Any time a unit switches from the OFFLINE to ONLINE state, the traffic destined for the
WAN is buffered, preconfigured in milliseconds (base modem → Antenna Handover
delay).
