Chapter 2 - Using Parameter Editor 2-7
Network
Warning: Selecting the Managed Switch mode will invoke bridging mode in
the target CDM-570/570L. When the OK button is clicked, the
modem will be immediately disconnected from the VMS. The VMS
cannot communicate with or control a CDM-570/570L which is
operating in the bridging mode.
Enable All Downlink Multicast
When the Enable All Downlink Multicast check box is selected, the IP Module
in the modem will automatically forward all multicast packets received from the
Satellite interface to the Ethernet LAN port without regard to the Route Table.
When this feature is not selected, multicast traffic from the Satellite will not be
forwarded to the LAN unless a multicast route exists in the Route Table to
handle this type of traffic.
DHCP Server IP Address
This option allows hosts at this remote site to receive dynamically assigned IP
addresses when a DHCP server is located at the Hub site. If applicable, enter the
IP address of the DHCP server.
Dynamic Buffer Latency
A buffer period can be specified for the modem for WAN traffic. For real-time
applications, such as voice or video, this period would typically be minimized.
This field defaults to 5 seconds; the value range is from 0.200 to 5.000 seconds.
Routing
Clicking the Routing menu item displays the modem unit’s routing dialog,
shown in figure 2-5. All current Static Routes are displayed in the table listing.
Adding a Route
To add a new static route, click the Add button at the bottom of the Routing
dialog to display the Add Route dialog shown in figure 2-6.
Route Name
Enter a designation for the route in the Route Name dialog box (maximum 13
characters).
