Comtech EF Data CDM-570/570L Vipersat - Manual (Page 27)

Chapter 2 - Quick Start Configuration 2-3
Initial Configuration
Network Role
The first and most important step prior to configuring the CDM-570/570L is to
define its network role.
The CDM-570/570L is a flexible network component able to perform different
functions depending on how it is used in a network. The role that is defined for
each CDM-570/570L will determine what functions are available for each unit
to fill its role. Table 2-1 lists the network roles and the corresponding network
functions for which the CDM-570/570L can be configured.
The procedure for setting the modem configuration to match the defined
network role is presented later in this Quick Start (“Set the Vipersat Configura-
tion” on page 2-11).
Refer to the section “Unit Role” on page 3-49, and the following section
“Expansion Unit”, for additional details on setting a CDM-570/570L’s network
role.
Setting Vipersat CDM-570/570L Operating
Parameters
The following is an example of using the CLI to bring a Vipersat CDM-570/
570L with factory default settings to the configuration which allows the Viper-
sat functions to be accessible.
Set the Feature Configuration
The operating parameters that will be configured in the target CDM-570/570L
are, in part, determined by the role the CDM-570/570L is to fill in the network,
as shown in table 2-1 and table 2-2.
