Slot Data Length

This menu item displays the Slot Data Length in milli-seconds and bytes for the target CDM-570/570L, and represents the amount of data that can be transmit- ted or received in one spin of the STDMA cycle by each of the Remotes belong- ing to that group.

Depending on the Hub type that is defined for the modem, the appearance of this parameter will vary:

•Fixed – Slot Data Length

•Dynamic Slot – Nominal Data Length, Minimum Data Length

•Dynamic Cycle – Maximum Data Length, Minimum Data Length

•ECM & GIR – Minimum Data Length

On a Hub unit, entering B and M at the command prompt brings up the dialogs for specifying the data length in milli-seconds for the target CDM-570/570L, as shown in figure 3-15.

On Remote units, this menu item is an information-only display.

Slot Cycle Length

This menu item is for information only and displays the slot cycle length in milli-seconds and bytes for the target CDM-570/570L. This value represents the total amount of time (preamble, data length, and guardband) allocated to the remote modem during one spin cycle.
