• Force Registration – A modem/router is normally automatically
registered on the network as part of the initial setup process. If this
process fails, this command will force a registration attempt.
• Configure – This item will open the Parameter Editor, allowing
configuration changes to the unit. See subsection “Using Parameter
Editor” on page 4-5.
Note: Many of the parameters interact with each other. Before making a
change to a parameter setting, carefully read the instructions and
observe any notes documenting parameter interaction.
• Upgrade – This command is used to upload an application image file to
upgrade the firmware for the unit.
• Remove – This command deletes the device container from the VMS
configuration database, removing it from selected view.
• Properties – This command allows access to the General Properties and
the Stored Configurations for the selected unit.
Hardware/Software Configuration
Refer to the user documentation for each modem/router in the satellite network
for details on the physical installation of the device. The hardware documenta-
tion also has detailed information on using the unit’s front panel controls, a
Telnet connection and the command line interface, or an HTTP connection and
the web server interface for directly configuring the target modem/router.
A modem/router, when managed by the VMS as part of a communications
network, has its performance automatically controlled as the VMS monitors its
role and function in the network. The VMS commands the modem to modify its
configuration, as needed, to optimize network performance.
In addition, the modem portion of each modem/router in a network can be
controlled manually. Each modem/router will have its own unique user interface
and connection methods. Check the modem/router documentation for details.
Note: Not all modem functions may be controlled by the VMS. Refer to the
device’s user documentation for instructions for using functions not avail-
able through the VMS.
