Load Switching

One of the four automatic switching functions that the Vipersat SLM-5650A is

able to perform is Load Switching. The system will detect variations in data rate

and can be configured to switch from STDMA to SCPC based on bandwidth

requirements.
The initial switch for a Remote SLM-5650A from STDMA mode to SCPC

mode is determined by the Hub Burst Controller. Once the Remote is switched

into SCPC, any requests to meet additional switching requirements within

SCPC (Step Up or Step Down) are made by the Remote modem.
The Load Switching feature for the SLM-5650A is Enabled and Disabled by

selecting the desired radial button at the top of the page.
