• Online – the Remote will register with the controller and request
dSCPC bandwidth for switching.
In order for a Remote to pass data traffic, the ECM Mode must be set to
Online.
Tip: For purposes of commissioning the terminal with a continuous carrier, the
Entry Channel mode can be set temporarily to Disable. Once this process
is completed, set the Remote back to the desired mode.

Group ID
The ECM Group ID number defines a group of equipment (both Hub and
Remote units) that will respond to the output of a single Hub channel
controller. This group is addressable within a network which, in turn, is
defined by the Network ID number assigned to the modem/routers.
Allocation of bandwidth is shared among the Remotes in an ECM group.
Depending on the number of Remotes in a network, a Hub may have
multiple controllers, each with its own set of Remotes. This is accomplished
by assigning a unique Group ID number to each controller and its associated
Remotes.
