OPERATION VIA THE CDM-600L
F.1 Introduction
The user can fully configure, monitor, and control an ODU (Outdoor Unit) – the mnemonic for a
BUC (Block Upconverter) or LNB (Low-Noise Block Downconverter) – from the CDM-600L in
the following ways:
• By using ODU remote commands and queries through Serial Remote Control.
• By using the CDM-600L modem keypad and display (via the front panel) to access ODU
configuration, operation, and monitoring commands.
F.2 ODU Operations via Serial Remote Control
For a complete overview of Serial Remote Control and the commands and queries associated with
remote ODU configuration, operation, and monitoring, refer to Appendix D. SERIAL
REMOTE CONTROL.
F.2.1 Remote Control Address Setup
The ODU connected to a CDM-600L Modem through FSK can be remotely monitored and
controlled by using ODU remote commands through Serial Remote Control. The address of the
ODU is set up as follows:
• For local-end ODUs:
o Use Modem’s RC address + 1 for Standalone unit or Online unit in a 1:1 Redundancy
System
o Use Modem’s RC address + 2 for Offline unit in a 1:1 Redundancy System
• For distant-end ODUs in an EDMAC setup:
o Use EDMAC Slave Address (ESA) Range + 4 for Standalone unit or Online unit in a
1:1 Redundancy System.
o Use EDMAC Slave Address (ESA) Range + 5 for Offline unit in a 1:1 Redundancy
System.
