Activate the check box, then click on the Apply button to execute the restart.
8. The Legacy Broadcast Mode check box need only be activated for net-
works that consist of modems using the following firmware versions:
• CDM-570/570L—v1.5.3 and earlier
• CDD-564/564L—v1.5.3 and earlier
• SLM-5650A—v1.3.1 and earlier
This feature provides support for the previous method of sending the active
management IP address message using a multi-command packet that
requires acknowledgement. This multicast message updates the Managing
IP Address field in all listening modems. The message interval is defaulted
to send an update every 15 seconds. See Timeouts dialog for timer interval
setting.
If all modems are running more recent firmware, then only the
unacknowledged message type is used and this box can be left unchecked.
9. Select the Timeouts dialog shown in figure 3-8. The default timer settings
are adjustable to accomodate communications that require additional time
because of network congestion.
