Appendix C. FAST ACTIVATION
PROCEDURE
C.1 Introduction
Fully Accessible System Topology (FAST) is an enhancement feature available in Comtech EF
Data products, enabling on-location upgrade of the operating feature set – in the rack – without
removing a modem from the setup.
This accelerated upgrade can be accomplished only because of FAST’s extensive use of
programmable devices incorporating Comtech EF Data-proprietary signal processing techniques.
These techniques allow the use of a unique access code to enable configuration of the available
hardware.
The access code can be purchased at any time from Comtech EF Data. Once obtained, the access
code is loaded into the unit via the front panel keypad.
