SDM-9000 Satellite Modem Operation
Rev.4 4–49
4.2.5.5 Utility Modem Type
MODEM TYPE Programs the modem to operate as one of the following
types:
•
INTELSAT
•
DBS
•
N5500 compatible
On entry, the flashing cursor is displayed. Press [ ← ] or
[ → ] to select INTELSAT, DVB, or N5500. Press [ENTER]
to execute the change.
REV EMULATION Programs an emulation mode of a previous functional
revision. This allows the user to select the
CURRENT_VERSION or Functional version (X).
Note: The Utility menu numbers will increase with each
software version change (current version is 6.1.1). Refer
to Chapter 3 for a description of the software
configuration.
On entry, the CURRENT_VERSION is displayed. Press
[
← ] or [ → ] to select the functional versions. Press
[ENTER] to execute the change.
Notes:
1. Programming a current version (default) allows all
features and options (if installed) to operate
normally.
2. Programming a function eliminates anything that
affects the later version. Only functional changes
are affected by the revision emulation feature.
3. A correction change (e.g., VER 1.1.1) remains
fixed in accordance with the latest version. Since
the revision emulation default is the current
version, the user must program the functional
version at the start of each operation.
4. The revision emulation feature does not affect
some user interface changes for the direct
operation of the modem (configuration save/recall,
test mode screen in the Utility/System, all factory
setup modes, etc.).
