The VMS uses this data when monitoring and controlling the network to deter-
mine the target CDM-570/570L’s function. When configured as an Expansion
unit, either as a Hub (switched) or as a Remote (mesh), the CDM-570/570L is
set up so that the demod is in SCPC mode and available as a resource for dedi-
cated communications with the other end of the satellite link.
Refer to table 2-1 and table 2-2 for a breakdown of network roles and related
functions and features.
