6.5.1 C onfiguring C DM-625 Advanced S atellite Modems
1. Complete the following tasks on each CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem:
A. Enable 1:N Mode for each modem – via each CDM-625 front panel:
SELECT: Utility  Redundancy  1:N  set to Enabled
B. Assign a unique Management IP Address to each modem – via each CDM-625 front
panel:
SELECT: Configuration  IP  Address  Add/Range  Set address
C. (Router Mode only) Assign a unique Redundancy Traffic IP Address to each modem –
via each CDM-625 front panel:
SELECT: Utility  Redundancy  Traffic-IP-Addr/Range  Set address
The Redundancy Traffic IP Address parameter is only applicable to
CDM-625 systems where the optional IP Packet Processor is installed and
enabled, and where the working mode is set to one of the router modes.
D. Set the Dedicated Management Port to Port 1 – via each CDM-625 front panel:
SELECT: Configuration  IP  Setup  DDMgmtPt  Dedicated Mgmt Port
Dedicated Management Port Mode is only configurable when the optional
IP Packet Processor is either not installed or is installed but disabled.
