CDM-600 Satellite Modem	Revision 7
Introduction	MN/CDM600.IOM

may select, either from the front panel, or via the remote control, to have the unit:

Power-up instantly (in which case the frequency of the unit will drift until the oven has reached its correct operating temperature),

OR:

Select a warm-up delay, where the unit will not become operational until the oven has reached a temperature close to stabilization value.

Notes :

*The CDM-600 uses an intelligent algorithm that takes into account the internal temperature of the unit, and the amount of time it has been powered down. In this way, the unit does not wait for the full period (which can be as much as 200 seconds) if power is cycled over a short time.

*If the warm-up feature has been activated, the time-out period can be instantly terminated by pressing the CLEAR key on the front panel.

1.3.5Supporting Hardware and Software

For 1:1 applications the CDM-600 is supported by the CRS-150, a low-cost external switch. For Hub applications, the CDM-600 is supported by a low-cost 1:N switch, the CRS-300.

The CDM-600 is a companion product for the Comtech EF Data line of RF Transceivers. The Modem incorporates an FSK serial link that can be activated on the Receive IF port for the purpose of communicating with a Transceiver, if connected. In this manner, a user may monitor, configure, and control the Transceiver, using the front panel display and keypad of the Modem. The EDMAC channel may also be used to convey M&C data to a Transceiver at the distant end of a satellite link, if it is connected to a CDM-600.

The CDM-600 is supported by Comtech EF Data’s SatMac software, a Windows TM based application that provides a ‘point and click’ interface for complete systems of Comtech equipment, comprising Modems, Transceivers, and Redundancy Switches.

1.4Compatibility

The CDM-600 is fully backwards-compatible with the Comtech EF Data CDM-500, CDM-550, and CDM-550T modems. Being an Open Network Modem, the CDM-600 is fully compatible with modems from other manufacturers that are compliant with the IESS-308/309/310/314 specifications. Note, however, that IESS-315 (VSAT Turbo) defines closed network operation, and this therefore requires modems from the same manufacturer at both ends of the link.
