Introduction

This chapter describes the minimum configuration of an SLM-5650A Network

Processor that is necessary in order for the equipment to function in a Vipersat

network.
The CEFD SLM-5650A stores its configuration in an ASCII file named the

PARAM

file. Equipment configuration is typically performed through the use of

the Web Server Interface (WSI) providing HyperText Transfer Protocol

(HTTP), particularly the initial configuration. This configuration method is

documented here. Alternatively, the Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used

for configuration. Once the equipment is functioning in the network, additional

configuration can be performed via the VMS.
Refer to Chapter 3, "Using the Web Server Interface (WSI)," for a more detailed

description on the usage of this feature.
This manual covers the configuration specifics of the SLM-5650A when used in

a Vipersat network. Refer to the SLM-5650A Installation and Operation

Manual (Part Number MN-0000031) for general instruction on setting up,

installing, and configuring this equipment.

Note: Before attempting to configure an SLM-5650A to be used in a Vipersat

network, make certain it has the Vipersat option installed and enabled.

Caution: Do not connect the TX cable until the modem is properly configured,

and the Home State is verified and Saved.
