3.1OVERVIEW
Each CiM-25 unit is programmed in the factory to provide a custom proxy interface to one of Comtech EF Data’s previously defined equipments. This means that a CiM- 25/600L that is loaded to interface a CDM-600L Modem to the IP world will not operate with any other piece of Comtech EF Data equipment, unless the personality is changed via a flash upload.
However every CiM-25, independent of personality, shares a large number of common features. For instance, all CiM-25 units provide the same degree of security features, network protocols, and administration features. The following sections will provide a detailed description of all the features available for a specific CiM-25 (i.e. CiM-25/600L with CDM-600L Modem). Those areas that are common to all CiM-25 units will be expounded upon and delineated. The areas that are specific to the individual personality (i.e. equipment parameter control) will only be briefly covered since these are already covered in detail in the individual equipment operator manuals.
3.2ADMINISTRATION AND SECURITY
The CiM-25 has been designed to provide a high degree of administrative flexibility to insure that each customer can configure the device (or network of devices) in a manner that meets his/her security needs. The primary tools provided are the Host Allow List, PING enable/disable, and three (3) level user login. Used as a group, these three tools provide the CiM-25 with a very high degree of security. Each of these tools is described in more detail below:
