Introduction MN/CLO-10.IOM
1.5 FAST Options and Hardware Options
The CLO-10 incorporates several optional features. These include redundancy and cancellation
bandwidth. In order to permit a lower initial cost, the unit may be purchased with only the desired
features enabled. The base configuration is 1.024 MHz of bandwidth, and standalone (no
redundancy) operation.

1.5.1 FAST System
Comtech EF Data provides FAST (Fully Accessible System Topology) as an enhancement
feature available in CEFD products, enabling on-location upgrade of the most operating feature
sets - in the rack - without removing a unit from the setup.
When service requirements change, the operator can upgrade the topology of the product to meet
those requirements within minutes after confirmation by Comtech EF Data. 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 user interface keypad or the rear remote port.
With the exclusive FAST technology, operators have maximum flexibility for enabling functions
as they are required. FAST allows an operator to order a modem precisely tailored for the initial
application.
1.5.1.1 FAST Options
FAST permits the purchase and installation of options through special authorization codes entered
remotely, or via the front panel user interface keypad where immediate implementation of the
different options is facilitated. All FAST options are available through the basic platform unit.
1.5.1.2 FAST Implementation
FAST is factory-implemented in the modem at the time of order. Options for basic modems can
be ordered and installed either at the factory or in the field. The operator can select Bandwidth
options that can be activated easily in the field.
