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.
