Vipersat Configuration
Unit Role
The Unit Role configuration determines whether the target CDM-570/570L is to function as a Remote or as a Hub in the Vipersat satellite network. From the Vipersat Configuration screen (figure 3-5), enter R to display the dialog shown in figure 3-45.
Figure 3-45Unit Role prompt
The choice made in this command will determine the role the target CDM-570/ 570L will perform in the network and what type of commands and functions it will receive from the VMS.
Expansion Unit
The Expansion Unit menu item in the Vipersat Configuration screen (figure 3-5) defines whether the target CDM-570/570L is to function as an Expansion Unit (the demod configured to operate in SCPC mode) or not. Enter- ing E at the command prompt will display the dialog shown in figure 3-46.
Figure 3-46Expansion Unit prompt
The VMS uses this data when monitoring and controlling the network to deter- mine the target CDM-570/570L’s function. When configured as an expansion unit, either as a Hub (switched) or as a Remote (mesh), the CDM-570/570L is set up so that the demod is in SCPC mode and available as a resource for dedi- cated communications with the other end of the satellite link.
