D.2 High Performance Packet Processor – Quick Start Guide
This section serves to guide you through the steps needed to pass IP traffic within minutes of
initial installation and setup (i.e., starting from factory default settings), using a pair of
CDM-570A/570AL-IPs. This section refers generically to any Comtech EF Data IP-centric modem
as the CDM-IP.
This section assumes operator familiarity with configuration of base modem ooperations.
