Because certain features of the CDM-570A/570AL Satellite Modem are not backward-
compatible with the CDM-570 (70/140 MHz) and CDM-570L (L-Band) Satellite Modems, the
CDM-570A/570AL provides a “compatibility mode” that is intended for use in existing networks
that commingle operations of the CDM-570A/570AL and the CDM-570/L.
Use the option buttons top select CDM-570A Mode or CDM-570 Mode. Click [Submit] to

a component in a new or existing network that does NOT include CDM-570/L
modems.
