QUICK START CONFIGURATION

Introduction

This chapter describes the minimum configuration of a Vipersat CDM-570/
570L Modem/Router that is necessary in order for the equipment to function in
a Vipersat network.
The Vipersat CDM-570/570L stores its configuration in an ASCII file named
the PARAM file. Equipment configuration is typically performed through the
use of the Command Line Interface (CLI), particularly the initial configuration.
Once the equipment is functioning in the network, additional configuration can
be performed via the VMS.
Refer to Chapter 3, “Using the Command Line Interface,” for a detailed descrip-
tion on the usage of this feature.
This manual covers the configuration specifics of the CDM-570/570L when
used in a Vipersat network. Refer to the CDM-570/570L Installation and Oper-
ation Manual (Part Number MN/CDM570L.IOM) for general instruction on
setting up, installing and configuring this equipment.
Note: Before attempting to configure a CDM-570/570L to be used in a Vipersat
network, make certain it has the Vipersat option installed and enabled.
Caution: Do not connect the TX cable until the modem is properly configured,
and the Home State is verified and Saved.
