power levels. The information and commands in the menu will vary depending
on the function that the target CDM-570/570L performs in the network. The
screen shown in figure 3-74 is for a Hub or Remote operating in STDMA mode.
For comparison, the DPC Config screen for a unit operating as a Hub or Remote
with Expansion (SCPC mode) is shown in figure 3-75. Note that only the appli-
cable settings appear in this screen.

Note: The following descriptions will refer to the CDM-570/570L as either
modulator or demodulator for simplicity and understanding.
Before enabling DPC, the operator should verify that a demodulator at another
terminal is receiving from this modulator, and that there is a working communi-
cations channel from that receiving station back to the modulator terminal
(inband communications). Additionally, since DPC controls potentially the full
power range of the modulator’s output power, it is recommended that the termi-
nal be commissioned and calibrated before usage.
Tip: The DPC feature will not function unless the Outbound IP address is
defined in the STDMA screen for the Hub BC modem.
