Hardware Configuration
Note: For VMS compatibility, see the product Release Notes for specific
versions of each modem type that is supported.
Once all of the needed information is obtained, configuration can begin. Before
making the physical installation of hardware into a network, each modem/router
must be pre-configured using either Telnet (CLI) or HTTP. Refer to the modem/
router’s documentation for details.
Comtech EF Data ships all modem/routers with FAST Codes pre-configured.
The modem/routers are always configured at the factory as type Remote, with
the Default Gateway pointed toward the Satellite, and with STDMA disabled.
At this point, VMS cannot discover the node. The operator can either use Telnet
(CLI) or HTTP to set up these parameters as shown in the example CDM-570/
570L CLI interface shown in figure 3-3, or flash a configuration file using
VLoad.
As a minimum, the following items in the modem/router will have to be config-
ured before it will be able to communicate with the VMS following installation
in the network:
• Network ID
• Receive Multicast Address
• Managing IP address is set through reception of VMS announcement
multicast message that is sent continuously on timed intervals.
