INTRODUCTION
Ideal for optimizing L-band satellite communications, the CDM-570L is designed to meet the needs of low-cost terminals with L-band interfaces to Low Noise Block Converters (LNBs) and Block Up Converters (BUCs). Part of the Comtech EF Data bandwidth efficient satellite modem product line, the CDM-570L includes synchronous EIA422/530, V.35, EIA232 interfaces, in addition to G.703 T1/E1 interfaces. The architecture is firmware and FPGA-based, and the internal Flash memory allows easy updating via the serial port, or front panel USB port. The modem offers exceptional flexibility and cost-effective performance in a 1RU enclosure.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS
Enhancing the CDM-570Ls performance is easy. Additional features are added quickly on site, using FAST access codes purchased from Comtech EF Data. To enable these features, simply enter the code at the front panel.
CDM-570L
FEATURES
950 to 1950 MHz IF range Fast acquisition demodulator ( 32 kHz acquisition range, 64 kbps, Rate1/2 QPSK: 150ms average) BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM modulation types Data rate range from 2.4 kbps to 5 Mbps Forward Error Correction choices include Turbo Product Coding, Viterbi, Reed-Solomon, and TCM Automatic Uplink Power Control (AUPC) and EDMAC Asymmetric Loop Timing Built-in 1:1 redundancy controller (Y-cables for data, simple and inexpensive external module for RF) Operation with LNB and BUC BUC 10 MHz reference and FSK communications and optional BUC Power Supplies LNB Power Supply and 10 MHz reference Backwards compatible with the CDM-500/CDM-550, CDM-550T and CDM-600 and CDM-600L Interoperable with SDM-300A, SDM-300L3
EDMAC OPERATION
A special feature of the CDM-570L is its ability to monitor and control the distant end of a satellite link using a Comtech EF Data proprietary overhead channel. This framed mode is called EDMAC (Embedded Distant-end Monitor And Control). User data is framed and extra bits are added to pass control, status, and Automatic Uplink Power Control information. This process is completely transparent to the user.
REMOTE CONTROL
The operator may configure and monitor the modem from the front panel, or through the remote M&C port. Ten complete configurations may be stored in the modem. An Event log stores alarm and status information in nonvolatile RAM, while the Link Statistics log stores link performance (E b /N o and AUPC performance) for QoS reporting purposes.
