1.2.1 Software – Flash Upgrading
The internal software is both powerful and flexible, permitting storage and retrieval of up to 10
different configurations. The modem uses ‘flash memory’ technology internally, and new
firmware is uploaded to the unit from an external PC. This simplifies software upgrading, and
updates are available via the Internet. The upgrade is performed without opening the unit by
simply connecting the modem to the Ethernet port of a computer.

1.2.2 Verification
The unit includes a number of tests for rapid verification of the correct functioning of the unit.
Selection of a CW carrier permits measurement of carrier center frequency or phase noise
characteristic. A single-sideband carrier also is available at the operating symbol rate to check I
and Q phase and amplitude balance. When normal operation is again selected, all of the previous
values are restored.
1.2.3 Allowable Data Interface Combinations
Data interfaces are installed or removed from the rear of the chassis into Slot 1 and Slot 2 of the
modem. The allowable combination of data interfaces and the data interfaces that are supported for
redundancy are found in the table below. In all cases, only one data interface is active at a time.
Additional information relating to the data interfaces supported in 1:1 and 1:N support is also
provided.
1:1 Redundancy with the CRS-170A (70/140 MHz) and CRS-180 (L-Band): The “Allowable
CDM-710 Modem Configuration” column in the table that follows shows the data interface
combinations of the modem that are supported by the CRS-170A and CRS-180 1:1 Redundancy
Switches. First, the 1:1 switch is selected depending upon the operating frequency, and then a
data interface kit for Slot 1 and Slot 2 is chosen. More information on these kits is provided in the
CRS-170A or CRS-180 1:1 Redundancy Switch datasheet and Installation and Operation manual.
1:N Redundancy with the CRS-300: The CRS-300 was originally designed for operation with the
CDM-600 and subsequently adapted to a number of other modems. It is capable of supporting
interfaces up to the point where there are no more paths left to route traffic. This is the reason why
the CRS-300 supports a limited set of the interface combinations supported by the CDM-710.

Chapter 3. FUNCTIONAL AND
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS
3.1
Overview
The modem is constructed as a 1RU high rack-mounting chassis, which can be freestanding, if
desired. Rack handles at the front facilitate removal from and placement into a rack.
The satellite modem performs several key functions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
It accepts incoming data from the terrestrial interface and converts it into appropriate
clock and data signals.
The modulator operates on the data to frame and encode it for transmission.
Encoded information is mapped for modulation.
A modulated carrier is transmitted from the IF interface for use by uplink equipment
for delivery to the satellite.
A carrier received from the satellite link is acquired and demodulated to recover
symbols and timing.
Error correction and deframing are performed.
User data is delivered to the to the data interface.
Transmit (Tx) data is delivered to the data interface where it is converted to clock and data signals
for further processing. Depending upon the type of interface, clock and data are provided or in other
cases the clock is embedded in the data and clock recovery is performed to generate clock and data
signals. A First-In –First-Out (FIFO) follows the terrestrial interface to facilitate delivery of the
data to the framing card. Data is passed to the Forward Error Correction (FEC) Encoder where the
data is framed and encoded in accordance with either the DVB-S, DVB-DSNG, or DVB-S2
formats. After encoding the data is passed to the modulator where the I and Q signals are mapped to
generate the appropriate constellation (QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM, 16-APSK, and 32-APSK) and
filtered to provide the desired spectral rolloff. Finally, a carrier is generated by a frequency
synthesizer in conjunction with the I and Q signals to produce a frequency range of:
70/140 MHz:
52 to 88 or 104 to 176 MHz IF output signal at the connector on the modem.
L-Band:
950 to 1950 MHz output signal at the Frequency connector on the modem.
3–1
CDM-710 Broadcast Satellite Modem
Functional and Physical Description
Revision 10
MN/CDM710.IOM
An Rx carrier from the satellite is received by the demodulator and reverses the process
performed by the modulator. The demodulator has an FEC decoder that corrects errors incurred
during transmission to improve the integrity of the data delivered to the data interface. A
synthesizer in the demodulator is programmed to select the desired carrier from the transponder.
Physically, the modem is comprised of several main card assemblies.
•
The Data Interface card is a plug-in module that is readily installed or removed at the
rear of the unit.
Note: Power is turned off to remove or install the data interfaces.
3.2
•
The Framer Card receives signals from the data interface card and routes signals to
the FEC Encoder and Modulator. The microcontroller for the unit also resides on the
Framer Card and is the embedded controller for the entire modem. The
microcontrollers handles all of the monitor and control for unit including the front
panel keypad and display, the RS-232 and RS-485 2Wire / 4Wire remote port and the
10/100 Ethernet port. Interface with the other the modules in the modem is provided
by the framer assembly.
•
The FEC Encoder card is a plug-in module that resides on the Framer card. It
generates the encoded stream used by the modulator card.
•
The Modulator card plugs into the framer card. It maps and spectrally shapes the I&amp;Q
data for delivery to the IF interface.
•
The Demodulator card also plugs into the framer. It recovers the selected carrier,
performs error correction and delivers data stream to the framer card.
Front Panel
Figure 3-1. Front Panel
The front panel (Figure 3-1) features a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), a keypad, and eight
LED indicators. The user enters data via the keypad, and messages are displayed on the VFD.
The LEDs indicate, in a summary fashion, the status of the unit.
The VFD is an active display showing 2 lines of 24 characters each. It produces a blue light,
the brightness of which can be controlled by the user. Compared to a Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD), it has greatly superior viewing characteristics and does not suffer problems of viewing
angle or contrast.
The keypad has six individual key switches that have a positive ‘click’ action – this provides the
user with tactile feedback. The six key switches are identified as [↑], [↓], [→], [←] arrows,
ENTER and CLEAR. There are seven LEDs on the front panel. Refer to Chapter 5. FRONT

In general, the Alarm relay state will reflect the state of the Front Panel LEDs. For
instance, if the Unit Status LED is red, the Unit Alarm relay will be active, etc. The one
exception is the Transmit Traffic relay; this will only be activated if a Transmit Traffic
Fault exists – it does not reflect the state of the Tx carrier.

The keypad is shown in Figure 5-2:
Diamond Keypad:

Button Keypad:
Rev. A or Later Chassis
Figure 5-2. Keypad
The keypad features six individual key switches with a positive ‘click’ action – this provides the
User with tactile feedback. The function of these keys are as follows:
ENTER
(ENT)
This key is used to select a displayed function or to execute a modem
configuration change.
CLEAR
(CLR)
This key is used to back out of a selection or to cancel a configuration change,
which has not been executed using ENTER (ENT). Pressing CLEAR (CLR)
generally returns the display to the previous selection.
Left, Right
W X
(←) (→)
These arrows are used to move to the next selection or to move the cursor
functions. At times, they may also used to move from one section to another.
Up, Down
S T
(↑) (↓)
These arrows are used primarily to change configuration data (numbers). At times,
they may also be used to move from one section to another.
IMPORTANT
The keypad has an auto-repeat feature. If a key is held down for more than 1
second, the key action will repeat, automatically, at the rate of 15 keystrokes
per second. This is particularly useful when editing numeric fields, with
many digits, such as frequency or data rate.

5.1.3 Front Panel Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
The CDM-710 features a Vacuum Fluorescent
Display (VFD). The VFD is an active display showing
two lines of 24 characters each. It produces a blue
light, the brightness of which can be controlled by the
User. Compared to a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), it has greatly superior viewing
characteristics and does not suffer problems of viewing angle or contrast.
As shown above, the ‘welcome screen’ is displayed whenever power is first applied to the unit.
The top line identifies the unit model (i.e., CDM-710); the bottom line displays the CDM-710’s
installed Firmware Version (version number varies).
Pressing any key takes the User to the top-level Select menu. On most menu screens, Users will
see a flashing, solid-block cursor that blinks at a once-per-second rate. This indicates the
currently selected item, digit, or field:
CONFIG: Remote Tx Rx
Int1 Int2 Ref Aux Alarms
Where this solid block cursor would obscure the item being edited (for example, a numeric field),
the cursor will automatically change to an underline cursor:
Tx Freq: 0140.0000 MHz
(◄ ► ▲ ▼ ENTER)
To prevent the display from becoming burnt by a constant image, the unit employs a screen saver
feature, which activates after one hour and constantly scrolls and wraps a message across the
screen. The top line of the screen saver display shows the Circuit ID (which can be entered by the
User); the bottom line displays the message ‘Press any key…’ as shown:
Circuit ID: ------------Press any key...
Press any key to restore the previously active screen.

IMPORTANT
• If an option is not installed (either Hardware or FAST) or is not valid, or if a

Use the ◄ ► arrow keys to select the desired digit of the Symbol Rate. The value of the digit is
then changed using the ▲ ▼ arrow keys. The User should then press ENTER.
The Data Rate digits also change as the Symbol Rate values are edited. The value of the Data
Rate depends upon the code rate, modulation type, and the Mode type selected.
When modulation, code rate and other parameters are changed the modem attempts to maintain
the same symbol rate, provided it is still in range when one of the other parameters is changed.
The valid range of Symbol Rate and Data Rate Range for DVB-S2, DVB-S and DVB-DSNG are
shown in the following table. When programming a new data or symbol rate the modulator will
not accept it unless it is in the range, and it will turn off the Tx Carrier. If a new rate is not
accepted, change the Modulator Code Rate or Mode. There is some round off in the data rate
ranges in the last digit. The first table is for the standard FECFrame and the second table is for the
short frame.
The tables are based on a 188 byte frame format. When a 204 byte format is selected the data rate
increases by 204/188.

In DVB-S2 Mode, Demod Unlocked appears while the Rx path is not synchronized. After
synchronization the correct data rate appears in the display and the demodulator has automatically
resolved the modulation type, code rate, pilots ON/OFF, FEC frame length, spectral inversion,
etc. from the DVB-S2 carrier.

IF I/O
( E)
The CDM-710 supports many useful test modes. Not all modes are available in all configurations –
they depend upon the modem configuration (Duplex, Rx-Only, Tx-Only) and the data interface(s).
Select Norm, IF Loop, I/O Loop, RF Loop, Tx-CW or Tx-1.0 using the ◄ ► arrow keys, then
press ENTER.
Selection
Description
Norm
(Normal) This clears any test modes or loopbacks and places the unit back
into an operational state.
IF
(IF Loop) This test mode invokes an internal IF loop. This is a particularly
useful feature, as it permits the User to perform a quick diagnostic test without
having to disturb external cabling. Furthermore, all of the Rx configuration
parameters are temporarily changed to match those of the Tx-side. When
Norm is again selected, all of the previous values are restored.
I/O
(Input / Output Loop) This test mode invokes two distinct loopbacks. The first
Loopback is an inward loop, which takes data being received from the satellite
direction, and passes it directly to the modulator. Simultaneously, the outward
loop is invoked, whereby data being fed to the Tx data interface is routed
directly back out of the Rx data interface.
RF
(RF Loop) This RF loop is almost identical to the IF loop mode. All of the Rx
configuration parameters (except Rx Spectrum Invert) are temporarily
changed to match those of the Tx-side, however, no internal connection is
made. This is useful for performing a satellite Loopback. When Norm is again
selected, all of the previous values are restored.
Tx-CW
(Transmit CW) This test mode forces the modulator to transmit a pure carrier
(unmodulated).
Tx-1,0
(Tx 1, 0, 1, 0 Pattern) This is a test mode, which forces the modulator to
transmit a carrier modulated with an alternating 1,0,1,0 pattern, at the currently
selected symbol rate. This causes single sideband spectral lines to appear,
spaced at &plusmn; half the symbol rate, about the carrier frequency. This mode is used
to check the carrier suppression of the Modulator. Also, it verifies quadrature
and amplitude balance.

Chapter 6. FLASH UPGRADING
6.1
Overview
The CDM-710 eliminates the need for updating firmware by physically replacing EPROMs.
Instead, the CDM-710 modem uses ‘flash memory’ technology internally. This makes software
upgrading very simple, and updates can now be sent via the Internet, E-mail, or on disk. The
upgrade can be performed without opening the unit, by simply connecting the modem to the
Ethernet port of a computer.
New firmware can be uploaded to the unit from an external PC, as follows:
•
Go online to: www.comtechefdata.com
•
Click on: Support
•
Click on: Software Downloads
•
Click on: Flash Update Files
• Refer to Chapter 11 for the Gigabit Ethernet Interface upgrade procedure.
IMPORTANT
• The user must reflash both images with the same firmware version for the
unit to function properly.
• The upgrade from an earlier version to 4.x.x is a one way upgrade path.
Once an upgrade to 4.0.1 is completed it is no longer possible to revert to
earlier versions. If reflash to an earlier version is attempted the modem will
detect and disallow it as a protective measure. The unit will also disallow an
attempt to switch to an image with an earlier version of firmware.

Ethernet FTP upload procedure:
1. Identify the reflashable product, firmware number, and version for download.
The current base modem M&amp;C version can be viewed at the top-level menu of the front
panel display (press “CLR” button several times to view). Also, you can find the
firmware information within the front panel menu:
Util: Firmware &AElig; Info &AElig; &lt;Image#1, Image#2 &gt;
Using serial remote control, you can query the firmware revision levels as follows:
&lt;0/SWR? Query (Abbreviated)
-or&lt;0/FRW? Query (Detailed)
2. Create a temporary directory (folder) on your PC.
Windows: Select File &gt; New &gt; Folder &gt; and rename the New Folder to &quot;temp&quot; or
another convenient and unused name. Assuming &quot;temp&quot; works, you should now have a
&quot;c:\temp&quot; folder created.
Note: The c: is the drive letter used in this example. Any valid writable drive
letter can be used.
Alternative Method – CMD Prompt: At the command prompt (c:\&gt;) type &quot;MD temp&quot;
without quotes (MD stands for make directory). This is the same as creating a new folder
from Windows. You should now have a &quot;c:\temp&quot; subdirectory created, where c: is the
drive letter used in the example.
3. Download the correct firmware file to this temporary folder.
Access the download server with the flash firmware data files link:
http://206.223.8.10/linksite/flashupgrades/CDM710/
About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and Formats:
The flashable files on the download server are organized by product first, then by firmware
number (make sure you know the correct firmware number – see step 1), version (if
applicable), and release date. The base modem bulk firmware for the CDM-710 (where the
asterisks show revision, version and date) is:
FW12437*_*_*. Later Units with version 2.1.1 or later (round keypad buttons)
FW12050*_*_*. Earlier Units with version 1.1.3 or earlier
The current version firmware release is provided. If applicable, one version prior to the
current release is also available. Be sure to identify and download the desired version.

The downloadable files are stored in two formats: *.exe (self extracting) and *.zip
(compressed). Some firewalls will not allow the downloading of *.exe files. In this case,
download the *.zip file instead.
For additional help with &quot;zipped&quot; file types, refer to &quot;pkzip for windows&quot;, &quot;winzip&quot;, or
&quot;zip central&quot; help files. Pkzip for DOS is not supported due to file naming conventions.
4. Unzip the files in the temporary folder on your PC.
At least 3 files should be extracted:
•
FW12437x.bin, where &quot;x&quot; is the version (bulk image file) for later units.
Note: FW12050x.bin for earlier units.
•
FW12437x.txt, where &quot;x&quot; is the version (history notes) for later units.
Note: FW12050x.txt for earlier units.
•
README.TXT installation notes
5. Connect the client PC to the CDM-710 modem 10/100 Ethernet M&amp;C via a hub or a switch,
or directly to a PC with a crossover cable.
Verify the communication and connection by issuing a &quot;ping&quot; command to the modem.
You can find the IP address of the modem either remotely using the &lt;0/IPA? command
or from the front panel with the &lt;Config&gt; &lt;Remote&gt; &lt;Remote&gt; &lt;Ethernet&gt; menus.
To PING and FTP from DOS, press the “Start” button on the Windows toolbar, and
select the “Run...” option. From Win95 or Win98, type “command”. From WinNT,
Win2K or WinXP, type “cmd”. You can also use the “DOS Prompt” or “Command
Prompt” icons in the Start Menu. Now change to the temporary directory you created
earlier with “cd c:\temp”. A quick “dir” will show the downloaded files.
6. Initiate an FTP session with the modem. The example is with a DOS window.
a. From the PC, type &quot;ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx&quot; where &quot;xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx&quot; is the IP
address of the CDM-710.
b. Enter your admin user name and password to complete login.
Factory Default user is: COMTECH
Password is: COMTECH
c. Verify your FTP transfer is binary by typing &quot;bin&quot;.
d. Type &quot;prompt&quot; then type &quot;hash&quot; to facilitate the file transfers.
7. Transfer the files.
Type &quot;put FW12437*.bin bulk:&quot; (for later units with round keypad buttons) or &quot;put
FW12050*.bin bulk:&quot; (for earlier units) to begin the file transfers. The destination
“bulk:” must be all lower-case. It will take approximately one minute to transfer the file.

8. Verify the file transfer.
a. The PC should report that the file transfer has occurred, and the display on the
modem will start reporting “PROGRAMMING FLASH SECTOR#xx – PLEASE
WAIT”.
IMPORTANT
Stopping the FTP before the “PROGRAMMING FLASH SECTOR#xxPLEASE WAIT” screen has finished could lead to an incomplete
download and a repeat of step 8a.
b. Terminate the FTP session by typing &quot;bye&quot; and closing the DOS window.
c. Verify that the new file loaded using the procedure in step 1.
9. Change the desired image to boot using the &lt;Util&gt; &lt;Firmware&gt; &lt;Select&gt; &lt;left or right arrow
to change to the other image&gt;, then cycle power to reboot the modem.
10. Verify the new software versions are booting by observing the following messages on the
modem display (version number will vary):
Comtech CDM-710 Modem
Firmware Version: 2.1.x
11. Repeat steps 6 through 10 for the opposite image, using the same downloaded firmware file.

Chapter 7. FORWARD ERROR
CORRECTION OPTIONS
7.1
Introduction
The CDM-710 Modem operates with error correction base upon the DVB standards:
•
DVB-S: QPSK with concatenated Viterbi and Reed Solomon.
•
DVB-DSNG: 8-PSK and 16-QAM with concatenated Viterbi and Reed Solomon.
•
DVB-S2: QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-APSK and 32-APSK with concatenated Low
Density Parity Code (LDPC) and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH).
DVB-S and DVB-DSNG anchor one the most widely adopted modulation and coding schemes
deployed today and are universally employed for satellite broadcast and related applications
today. Now DVB-S2 has defined a new generation of performance that boosts throughput by
about 30% over the same transponders using a new type coding that exceeds the capability of
concatenated Viterbi and Reed Solomon coding.
7.2
Viterbi and Reed Solomon
The concatenated Viterbi and Reed Solomon coding technique produces significant improvement
over Viterbi decoding alone. Simplistically, a Reed Solomon block decoder follows the
convolutional Viterbi decoder to further enhance error correction. Errors exiting the Viterbi
decoder tend to occur in clusters or errors bursts. The Reed Solomon decoder works well
correcting burst errors so the combination delivers improved performance. To further improve the
error correcting capability, an interleaver is placed between the two schemes to spread the errors
so fewer occur in a given block.
7.3
LDPC and BCH
LDPC and BCH is also concatenated technique. LDPC is a very powerful coding scheme with
significant, Near-Shannon Bound Performance. In some cases, as the carrier-to-noise ratio increases,
the LDPC error correction starts flaring toward an error floor so BCH error correction follows LDPC
and eliminates the flare for any practical range of error rates.
7–1

Forward Error Correction Options
Revision 10
MN/CDM710.IOM
LDPC also functions differently than Viterbi decoding by using iterative decoding. In this process
the data initially corrected by the LDPC decoder is re-encoded and run through the decoder again
to correct additional errors. Key to this is the soft decision output from the LDPC decoder and a
high-speed processor operating at a rate much higher than the data rate. The LDPC decoder runs
the iterative process as many times as possible before corrected data is finally outputted to make
way for a new block of data entering the decoder. LDPC also uses interleaving to spread the
errors. In contrast, Viterbi error correction operates by passing data through the convolutional
error correction process a single time.
The error correcting capability of LDPC is improved by using large block sizes. This also
increases latency. However, in one-way broadcast applications this is not a drawback. Links with
LDPC normally operate at multi-megabit data rates where latency effects are reduced. The
standard block size for LDPC is 64,800 bits, and for lower data rate applications there is a short
frame block at 16,800 bits that suffers only a small error correcting loss (0.2 to 0.3 dB) compared
to the standard block.
7.3.1 Range of Data Rates
For a detailed Data Rate Range refer to Chapter 8. SUMMARY OF SPECIFICATIONS.
7.3.2 Eb/No, Es/No Spectral Efficiency and Occupied Bandwidth
Depending upon the operating mode DVB standard uses different modes of specifying
performance with a modem in IF Loop and Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN):

DVB-S (QPSK with Viterbi and Reed Solomon): BER = 2x10-4 after Viterbi (before
Reed Solomon) and QEF after Reed Solomon at the specified Eb/No and includes a
modem implementation loss of 0.8 dB and the noise bandwidth increase due to the outer
code (10 log 188/204 = 0,36 dB).
Quasi-Error-Free (QEF) corresponds to less than one uncorrected error event per hour, or
BER = 10-10 to 10-11 at the input of an MPEG-2 demultiplexer. This is the error rate most
commonly used.

DVB-DSNG (8-PSK and 16-QAM with Viterbi and Reed Solomon): Similar to DVBS. The modem implementation ranges from 1.0 dB (8-PSK 2/3) to 2.1 dB (16-QAM 7/8).

DVB-S2 (QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-APSK and 32-APSK with LDPC and BCH): PER
(packet error rate) = 10-7 after LDPC and BCH at the specified Es/No. This is a
theoretical value with perfect carrier recovery and symbol synchronization, and no
modem oscillator phase noise. The manufacturer decides the implementation margin and
specifies performance.
The other difference is the use of PER (packet error rate) based upon a 188 or 204 byte
MPEG frame size instead of BER (bit error rate).
Also, note the use of Es/No instead of Eb/No. When links operate at constant symbol rate
so this is good method for comparing the performance of different modulation types and
code rates.

The relation between the two quantities is given by:
Eb/No = Es/No - 10xLog(Spectral Efficiency)
The table that follows provides the spectral efficiency for all of the DVB schemes.
Another useful parameter is the occupied bandwidth is the bandwidth between -10 dB
points of the power spectral density, which are approximately:
Occupied Bandwidth = 1.19 x Symbol Rate, for 35% Rolloff
= 1.15 x Symbol Rate, for 25% Rolloff
= 1.12 x Symbol Rate, for 20% Rolloff

8.10 Data Rate Range
Symbol Rate and Data Rate Range for DVB-S2, DVB-S and DVB-DSNG. There is some
roundoff in the data rate ranges in the last digit. Table 8-1 is for the standard FEC frame, and
Table 8-2 is for the short frame. The tables are based on a 188-byte transport stream packet.
When a 204-byte frame size is selected, the data rate increases by 204/188.
DVB recommends turning the Pilot ON for 8PSK and higher modulation orders, particularly
when phase noise is present.
The following modes may need Pilot ON for low C/N operation: 8PSK 1/2, 16APSK 2/3 and 3/4,
and 32APSK 3/4 to assist carrier recovery.
QPSK 1/4, 1/3, and 2/5 data is for information only.

Chapter 9. SNMP INTERFACE
9.1
SNMP Interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol designed to
facilitate the exchange of management information between network devices. The CDM-710
SNMP agent supports both SNMPv1 and v2c.
IMPORTANT
9.2
For proper SNMP operation, the CDM-710 MIB files must be used with the
associated version of the CDM-710 modem M&amp;C Software. Refer to the CDM-710
SW Release Notes for information on the required FW/SW compatibility.
Management Information Base (MIB) Files
MIB files are used for SNMP remote management and consist of Object Identifiers (OIDs). Each
OID is a node that provides remote management of a particular function. A MIB file is a tree of
nodes that is unique to a particular device. There are seven MIB files associated with the
CDM-710:

SNMP Community Strings
The CDM-710 uses community strings as a password scheme that provides authentication before
gaining access to the CDM-710 agent’s MIBs.
In SNMP v1/v2c, the community string is sent unencrypted in the SNMP packets. Caution must
be taken by the network administrator to ensure that SNMP packets travel only over a secure and
private network if security is a concern. A packet sniffer can easily obtain the community string
by viewing the SNMP traffic on the network.
The community string is entered into the MIB Browser or Network Node Management software
and is used to authenticate users and determine access privileges to the SNMP agent.
The user defines three Community Strings for SNMP access:
Read Community
Write Community
Trap Community
9.4
default = public
default = private
default = comtech
SNMP Traps
The CDM-710 has the ability to send out SNMP traps when certain events occur in the modem.
For example, the CDM-710 also sends out traps when an alarm or a fault occurs in the modem.
These include unit faults, TX faults, and RX faults. A trap is sent both when a fault occurs and is
cleared.

Chapter 10. CDI-40 ASI
Data Interface
10.1 Introduction
This data interface is a plug-in module that inserts into the rear of the modem chassis. It provides
physical and electrical connection between the external terrestrial device and the internal circuitry
of the modulator or demodulator. By convention, a modem is Data Communications Equipment
(DCE) where transmit data enters the data interface and receive data exits it. The plug-in interface
has full duplex capability for the ASI interface. In addition, the module is automatically configured
for simplex-transmit or simplex-receive operation when the module is plugged into a simplex
chassis configured for modulator only or demodulator only operation. The module will operate
when plugged into either Slot 1 or Slot 2 of the modem. (Slot 1 is located near the center of the
rear panel, and Slot 2 is next to the outside edge.)
The ASI Interface combines two electrical and physical interfaces into a single assembly. The ASI
section provides DVB compliant interface with BNC connectors.
Operation for either ASI is selected by programming the unit from the front panel keypad/display
or from the remote communications ports. Refer to Figure 10-1 through Figure 10-5 for card
diagrams. There are two ASI Interface Cards:
ASI Interface Usage By Application
PL/10881-3
Standard non-redundant applications:
• Tx only 1:1 redundancy. Rx output (J2 and J3) is the standard ASI level
• Full duplex 1:N redundancy. Rx output (J2 and J3) is the standard ASI
level
PL/10881-4
Standard non-redundant applications (excluding J3):
• Tx only, Rx only or full duplex (Tx and Rx) 1:1 redundancy (see
Figure 10-5).
♦ Rx output J2 is standard ASI level
♦ Rx output J3 is higher so the standard level is delivered after a 3 dB
combiner (see Figure 10-5).
• Full duplex 1:N redundancy (excluding J3).

10.3 Input/Output Data Formats
The ASI interface operates at a 270 Mbps transport rate for all data rates. The required encoding of
this transport is defined in EN 80053-9 and the Cypress Hotlink IC data sheets. See applicable
specifications section. The description that follows, applies to baseband data and not the data
transformed to the 270 Mbps physical transport layer.
There are two general modes of operation. There are three standard frame formats
(Table 10-2) supported.
Note: The Tx interface correlates from sync word or sync signal.
ASI Sync modes:
188 Mode:
The unit looks for a DVB/MPEG-2 frame consisting of 1 sync byte (0x47 ) and 187
bytes of data. The frame structure is acquired by the interface to create a satellite
frame of 204 bytes by adding 16 bytes of Reed-Solomon check bytes. The
demodulator removes the 16 check bytes and the 188-byte frame is returned to
the terrestrial circuit.
204 Mode:
The unit expects a DVB/MPEG-2 frame consisting of 1 sync byte (0x47), 187
bytes of data and 16 bytes of filler.
For ASI operation data is either constant packet arrival or constant burst arrival at the equivalent
serial data rate. See Table 10-2 for input/output formats.

Description
Payload data is byte serial with MSB first.
TRANSPORT RATE (ASI)
For 188 the format, the payload is 187 bytes in length, preceded by

270 Mbps for all data rates.
MPEG-2 Null Packet
When the data input to the ASI interface is disconnected or not synchronized the modulator sends
MPEG-2 null packets in accordance with ISO/IEC DIS 13818-1, Coding Of Moving Pictures And
Associated Audio.
If the interface is in Test mode with the patterns turned ON, the modulator sends pseudo random
pattern over the link in the 187 bytes following the sync byte whether Tx data into the modem is
present or not.

Chapter 11. CDI-70 1000 Base-T
(GbE) INTERFACE
11.1 Introduction
The CDI-70 Gigabit Base-T Ethernet Interface or GbE performs a Motion Picture Expert Group
(MPEG-2) packet decapsulation operation on ingress Internet Protocol (IP) packets received from
the Local Area Network (LAN). MPEG-2 packets are extracted from the active (of up to two
multicast) connection and forwards the extracted MPEG-2 packets to Wide Area Network
(WAN) (satellite connection). In addition, an MPEG-over-IP transmit function is performed, in
which MPEG-2 packets are received from the WAN and are encapsulated in IP packets and
transmitted to the LAN (egress).
The GbE Interface is shown in Figure 11-1. Monitor and Control (M&amp;C) information is not
supported on the GbE Interface but available through the 10/100 Base-T remote port of the
modem. The GbE Interface supports data rates from 1.5Mbps to either 80.376 Mbps with SMPTE
2022 (formerly Pro-MPEG COP3) FEC enabled or 124 Mbps with SMPT 2022 / Pro-MPEG
COP3 FEC disabled. The user interface to the GbE card is a single IEEE 802.3ab 1000 Base-T
copper compliant female RJ-45 connector wired as described in Table 11-1

11.5 GBEI Software Upload Procedure
The GBEI interface board contains its own processor and memory. On occasion, CEFD may
release new software to fix anomalies or add functionality to this interface board. This section
will define how to perform this upgrade process. The CDI-70 GBEI interface board uses ‘flash
memory’ technology internally. This makes software upgrading very simple, and updates can
now be sent via the Internet, E-mail, or on disk. The upgrade can be performed without opening
the unit, by simply connecting the GBEI 10/100/1000 Ethernet port to the Ethernet port of a
computer.
New firmware can be uploaded to the unit from an external PC, as follows:
Go online to: www.comtechefdata.com
Click on: Support
Click on: Downloads
Click on: Flash upgrades
1. Identify the reflashable product, firmware number, and version for download.
The current base GBEI version can be viewed at the top level menu of the front panel
display (press “CLR” button several times to view). Also, you can find the firmware
information using the front panel menu.
Util: Firmware &AElig; Info &AElig; &lt;Image#1, Image#2&gt; &AElig; Interfaces &AElig; GBEI
2. Create a temporary directory (folder) on your PC.
Windows: Select File &gt; New &gt; Folder &gt; and rename the New Folder to &quot;temp&quot; or
another convenient and unused name. Assuming &quot;temp&quot; works, you should now have
a &quot;c:\temp&quot; folder created.
Note: The c: is the drive letter used in this example. Any valid writable drive letter
can be used.
CMD Prompt: At the command prompt (c:\&gt;) type &quot;MD temp&quot; without quotes (MD
stands for make directory). This is the same as creating a new folder from Windows.
You should now have a &quot;c:\temp&quot; subdirectory created where c: is the drive letter
used in the example.
3. Download the correct firmware file to this temporary folder.
Access the download server with the flash firmware data files link,
http://206.223.8.10/linksite/flashupgrades/CDM710_710L-MODEM/GBEI/
About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and Formats:
The flashable files on the download server are organized by product first, then by
firmware number, (make sure you know the correct firmware number; see step 1
version, if applicable, and release date. The base modem bulk firmware will be
FW12547*_*_* (where the asterisks show revision, version and date).
11–6
CDM-710 Broadcast Satellite Modem
1000 Base-T (GbE) Interface
Revision 10
MN/CDM710.IOM
The current version firmware release is provided. If applicable, one version prior to
the current release is also available. Be sure to identify and download the desired
version.
The downloadable files are stored in two formats: *.exe (self extracting) and *.zip
(compressed). Some firewalls will not allow the downloading of *.exe files. In this
case, download the *.zip file instead.
For additional help with &quot;zipped&quot; file types, refer to &quot;pkzip for windows&quot;, &quot;winzip&quot;,
or &quot;zip central&quot; help files. Pkzip for DOS is not supported due to file naming
conventions.
4. Unzip the files in the temporary folder on your PC.
At least 3 files should be extracted:
•
•
•
FW12547x.bin, where &quot;x&quot; is the version (bulk image file).
FW12547x.txt, where &quot;x&quot; is the version (history notes).
README.TXT installation notes
5. Connect the client PC to the CDI-70 (GBEI) 10/100/1000 Ethernet connector via a
hub or a switch, or directly to a PC with a crossover cable.
Verify the communication and connection by issuing a &quot;ping&quot; command to the
modem. You can find the management IP address of the GBEI interface using the
front panel with the &lt;Config&gt; &lt;Intfc1&gt; &lt;Gigabit Ethernet&gt; &lt;Man&gt; menus.
To PING and FTP from DOS, press the “Start” button on the Windows toolbar, and
select the “Run...” option. From Win95 or Win98, type, “command”. From WinNT,
Win2K or WinXP, type “cmd”. You can also use the “DOS Prompt” or “Command
Prompt” icons in the Start Menu. Now change to the temporary directory you created
earlier with “cd c:\temp”. A quick “dir” will show the downloaded files.
6. Initiate an FTP session with the modem. The example is with a DOS window.
a. From the PC, type &quot;ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx&quot; where &quot;xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx&quot; is the
management IP address of the CDI-70 (GBEI).
b. Press &lt;Enter&gt; twice to bypass the user name and password to complete
login.
c. Verify your FTP transfer is binary by typing &quot;bin&quot;.
d. Type &quot;prompt&quot; then type &quot;hash&quot; to facilitate the file transfers.
7. Transfer the files.
Type &quot;put FW12547*.bin bulk:&quot; to begin the file transfers. The destination “bulk:”
must be all lower-case.
11–7
CDM-710 Broadcast Satellite Modem
1000 Base-T (GbE) Interface
Revision 10
MN/CDM710.IOM
It will take approximately ten minutes to transfer the file – wait for this transfer
to take place before proceeding to the next step.
Do NOT interrupt the transfer process. If the transfer process is
interrupted, the GbEI may have to be returned to the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT
8. Verify the file transfer.
a. The PC should report that the file transfer has occurred.
b. Terminate the FTP session by typing &quot;bye&quot; and closing the DOS window.
c. Verify that the new file loaded using the procedure in Step 1.
9. After waiting at least 5 minutes you must cycle power on the modem for the new
GBEI firmware to run.

Chapter 12. CDI-60 HSSI Interface
12.1 Introduction
This data interface is a plug-in module that inserts into the rear of the modem chassis. It provides
physical and electrical connection between the external terrestrial device and the internal circuitry
of the modulator or demodulator. By convention, a modem is Data Communications Equipment
(DCE) where Tx data enters the data interface and Rx data exits it. The plug-in interface has full
duplex capability.
In addition, the module is automatically configured for simplex-transmit or simplex-receive
operation when the module is plugged into a simplex chassis configured for modulator only or
demodulator only operation. Slot 1 of the modem is filled with a data interface card first, and Slot
2 is assigned a blank panel or another interface depending upon configurations allowed at time of
order. (Slot 1 is located near the center of the rear panel, and Slot 2 is next to the outside edge.)
The CDI-60 is a HSSI Card data interface module that plugs into the rear of the modem. Figure
12.1 provides a block diagram of the interface.
The HSSI interface provides:
•
A single HSSI interface
•
Supports 188 byte MPEG-2 transport stream only
•
DCE Connection:
o
RT is derived from the received satellite clock and is provided to the DTE as a
receive data clock.
o
ST is equivalent to the modem transmit rate and is sourced to the terrestrial interface
for use as a reference by the DTE.
o
TT is treated as an incoming Transmit Clock. TT must be equal to the transmit data
rate. The precision of TT must be &lt;/= 100ppm.
Figure 12-2 shows a picture of the CDI-60 HSSI interface and the SCSI-2 connector that serves
as the data port. A summary of specifications for the interface is provided in Table 12-1 and the
connector pinout is shown in Table 12-2.
When a HSSI card is installed in Slot 1, Slot 2 is a blank panel.

Appendix A. REMOTE CONTROL
A.1
Introduction
This appendix describes the protocol and message command set for remote monitor and control
of the CDM-710 Broadcast Satellite Modem.
The electrical interface is either an RS-485 multi-drop bus (for the control of many devices) or an
RS-232 connection (for the control of a single device), and data is transmitted in asynchronous
serial form, using ASCII characters. Control and status information is transmitted in packets, of
variable length, in accordance with the structure and protocol defined in later sections.
A.2
RS-485
For applications where multiple devices are to be monitored and controlled, a full-duplex (or 4wire) RS-485 is preferred. Half-duplex (2-wire) RS-485 is possible, but is not preferred.
In full-duplex RS-485 communication there are two separate, isolated, independent, differentialmode twisted pairs, each handling serial data in different directions. It is assumed that there is a
‘controller’ device (a PC or dumb terminal), which transmits data, in a broadcast mode, via one of
the pairs. Many ‘target’ devices are connected to this pair, which all simultaneously receive data
from the controller. The controller is the only device with a line-driver connected to this pair - the
target devices only have line-receivers connected.
In the other direction, on the other pair, each target has a tri-stateable line driver connected, and
the controller has a line-receiver connected. All the line drivers are held in high-impedance mode
until one (and only one) target transmits back to the controller.
Each target has a unique address, and each time the controller transmits, in a framed ‘packet’ of
data, the address of the intended recipient target is included. All of the targets receive the packet,
but only one (the intended) will reply. The target enables its output line driver, and transmits its
return data packet back to the controller, in the other direction, on the physically separate pair.
RS 485 (full duplex) summary:
•
•
•
Two differential pairs - one pair for controller to target, one pair for target to controller.
Controller-to-target pair has one line driver (controller), and all targets have line-receivers.
Target-to-controller pair has one line receiver (controller), and all targets have tri-state drivers.

Revision 10
MN/CDM710.IOM
RS-232
This a much simpler configuration in which the controller device is connected directly to the
target via a two-wire-plus-ground connection. Controller-to-target data is carried, via RS-232
electrical levels, on one conductor, and target-to-controller data is carried in the other direction on
the other conductor.
A.4
Basic Protocol
Whether in RS-232 or RS-485 mode, all data is transmitted as asynchronous serial characters,
suitable for transmission and reception by a UART. In this case, the asynchronous character
formats is 8N1. The baud rate may vary between 1200 and 57,600 baud.
All data is transmitted in framed packets. The controller is assumed to be a PC or ASCII dumb
terminal, which is in charge of the process of monitor and control. The controller is the only
device which is permitted to initiate, at will, the transmission of data. Targets are only permitted
to transmit when they have been specifically instructed to do so by the controller.
All bytes within a packet are printable ASCII characters, less than ASCII code 127. In this
context, the Carriage Return and Line Feed characters are considered printable.
All messages from controller to target require a response (with one exception). This will be either to
return data which has been requested by the controller, or to acknowledge reception of an instruction
to change the configuration of the target. The exception to this is when the controller broadcasts a
message (such as Set time/date) using Address 0, when the target is set to RS-485 mode.

Revision 10
MN/CDM710.IOM
A.5.1 Start Of Packet
Controller to Target: This is the character ‘&lt;’ (ASCII code 60)
Target to Controller: This is the character ‘&gt;’ (ASCII code 62)
Because this is used to provide a reliable indication of the start of packet, these two characters
may not appear anywhere else within the body of the message.
A.5.2 Address
Up to 9999 devices can be uniquely addressed. In RS-232 applications this value is set to 0. In
RS-485 applications, the permissible range of values is 1 to 9999. It is programmed into a target
unit using the front panel keypad.
IMPORTANT
The controller sends a packet with the address of a target - the destination of
the packet. When the target responds, the address used is the same address,
to indicate to the controller the source of the packet. The controller does not
have its own address.
A.5.3 Instruction Code
This is a three-character alphabetic sequence which identifies the subject of the message.
Wherever possible, the instruction codes have been chosen to have some significance. For
example TFQ for transmit frequency, etc. This aids in the readability of the message, should it be
displayed in its raw ASCII form. Only upper case alphabetic characters may be used (A-Z, ASCII
codes 65 - 90).
A.5.4 Instruction Code Qualifier
This is a single character which further qualifies the preceding instruction code. Code Qualifiers
obey the following rules:
1) From Controller to Target, the only permitted values are:
=
?
(ASCII code 61)
(ASCII code 63)
They have these meanings:
The ‘=’ code (controller to target) is used as the assignment operator, and is used to indicate
that the parameter defined by the preceding byte should be set to the value of the argument(s)
which follow it.
For example: In a message from controller to target, TFQ=0070.0000 would mean ‘set the
transmit frequency to 70 MHz’
The ‘?’ code (controller to target) is used as the query operator, and is used to indicate that
the target should return the current value of the parameter defined by the preceding byte.
A–3
CDM-710 Broadcast Satellite Modem
Remote Control
Revision 10
MN/CDM710.IOM
For example: In a message from controller to target, TFQ? would mean ‘return the current
value of the transmit frequency’
2) From Target to Controller, the only permitted values are:
=
?
!
*
#
~
(ASCII code 61)
(ASCII code 63)
(ASCII code 33)
(ASCII code 42)
(ASCII code 35)
(ASCII Code 126)
They have these meanings:
The ‘=’ code (target to controller) is used in two ways:
First, if the controller has sent a query code to a target (for example TFQ?, meaning
‘what’s the Transmit frequency?’), the target would respond with TFQ=xxxx.xxxx,
where xxxx.xxxx represents the frequency in question.
Second, if the controller sends an instruction to set a parameter to a particular value, then,
providing the value sent in the argument is valid, the target will acknowledge the
message by replying with TFQ= (with no message arguments).
The ? code (target to controller) is only used as follows:
If the controller sends an instruction to set a parameter to a particular value, then, if the value
sent in the argument is not valid, the target will acknowledge the message by replying (for
example) with TFQ? (with no message arguments). This indicates that there was an error in
the message sent by the controller.
The * code (target to controller) is only used as follows:
If the controller sends an instruction to set a parameter to a particular value, then, if the value
sent in the argument is valid, BUT the modulator will not permit that particular parameter to
be changed at that time, the target will acknowledge the message by replying (for example)
with TFQ* (with no message arguments).
The ! code (target to controller) is only used as follows:\
If the controller sends an instruction code which the target does not recognize, the target will
acknowledge the message by echoing the invalid instruction, followed by the ! character with.
Example: XYZ!
The # code (target to controller) is only used as follows:
If the controller sends a correctly formatted command, BUT the modulator is not in remote
mode, it will not allow reconfiguration, and will respond with TFQ#.

Arguments are not required for all messages. Arguments are ASCII codes for the characters 0 to

A.5.6 End Of Packet
Controller to Target: This is the ‘Carriage Return’ character (ASCII code 13)
Target to Controller: This is the two-character sequence ‘Carriage Return’, ‘Line Feed’. (ASCII
code 13, and code 10.) Both indicate the valid termination of a packet

A.6.5 Modem Global Configuration (MGC) Command
The MGC command can be used to configure the whole modem or parts of the modem. This command also contains spare bytes for future development, but the
length of the command is fixed to 255 bytes. The MGC command can be used on modulator-only units, demodulator-only units, and modem units.
MGC Format
The format for the response to the MGC query/command is as follows:
MGC=TRUSI[Tx Block][Rx Block][Unit Block][Interface Block].
For a query, the first 5 bytes indicates whether the corresponding block is present in the response:
T – ‘T’ if transmit block is present in the response, ‘0’ means the block is not present and ‘x’s are returned.
R – ‘R’ if receive block is present in the response, ‘0’ means the block is not present and ‘x’s are returned.
U – ‘U’ if unit block is present in the response, ‘0’ means the block is not present and ‘x’s are returned.
S – Indicates which interface slot is enabled. ‘1’ indicates that slot 1 is enabled. ‘2’ indicates that slot 2 is enabled.
I – Indicates the interface type for the interface block. ‘1’ indicates ASI, ‘2’ indicates Gigabit Ethernet interface, ‘3’ indicates HSSI.
For a set command, the first 5 bytes indicates whether the corresponding block should be reprogrammed:
T – ‘T’ if transmit configuration should be changed, ‘0’ means the Tx configuration should be skipped over.
R – ‘R’ if receive configuration should be changed, ‘0’ means the Rx configuration should be skipped over.
U – ‘U’ if unit configuration should be changed, ‘0’ means the unit configuration should be skipped over.
S – Indicates which slot should be enabled. ‘1’ indicates that slot 1 should be enabled. ‘2’ indicates that slot 2 should be enabled.
I – Indicates the interface type for the interface block. ‘1’ indicates ASI, ‘2’ indicates Gigabit Ethernet interface, ‘3’ indicates HSSI.
MGC ASI Example:
&lt;0000/MGC=TRU111250.0000101.0000001070-10.0101000000001xxxxxxxxxx1250.0000101.00

Appendix B. Eb/No
MEASUREMENT
Although the CDM-710 calculates and displays the value of receive Eb/No on the front panel of
the unit, it is sometimes useful to measure the value using a spectrum analyzer, if one is available.
The idea is to accurately measure the value of (Co+No)/No, (Carrier density + Noise density/Noise
density). This is accomplished by tuning the center frequency of the Spectrum analyzer to the signal
of interest, and measuring the difference between the peak spectral density of the signal (the flat
part of the spectrum shown) and the noise density. To make this measurement:
•
Use a vertical scale of 1 or 2 dB/division.
•
Set the Resolution Bandwidth of the Spectrum Analyzer to &lt; 20 % of the symbol
rate.
•
Use video filtering and/or video averaging to reduce the variance in the displayed
trace to a low enough level that the difference can be measured to within 0.2dB.
•
Place a marker on the flat part of the signal of interest, then use the MARKER
DELTA function to put a second marker on the noise to the side of the carrier. This
value is (Co+No)/No, in dB.
•
Use this value of (Co+No)/No in the table on the following page to determine the
Eb/No. You will need to know the operating mode to read from the appropriate
column.
•
If the (Co+No)/No value measured does not correspond to an exact table entry,
interpolate using the two nearest values.
Note that the accuracy of this method degrades significantly at low values of (Co+No)/No
(approximately less than 6 dB).
Example:
In the diagram on the next page, the (Co+No)/No measured is 4.6 dB. If Rate 1/2 QPSK is used,
this corresponds to an Eb/No of approximately 2.8 dB (DVB-S2) or 3.1 dB (DVB-S).
B–1
CDM-710 Broadcast Satellite Modem
Eb/No Measurement
Revision 10
MN/CDM710.IOM
The relationship used to derive the table values is as follows (only simple way for DVB-S2):
Eb/No = 10 log10 (10 (Co+No/No )/10) -1) - 10 log10 (Spectral Efficiency)
and:
•
Eb/No and (Co+No)/No are expressed in dB
•
Spectral Efficiency includes the modulation type, code rate, overhead and
framing and is shown in the tables
The equation above applies to DVB-S and DVB-DSNG, or use the traditional relationship:
Eb/No = 10 log10 (10 (Co+No/No )/10) -1) - 10 log10 (FEC Code Rate) - 10 log10 (bits/symbol)
•
Eb/No and (Co+No)/No are expressed in dB
•
FEC Code Rate (Composite) = 3/4*(188/204), 7/8*(188/204) etc.
•
Bits/symbol = 2 for QPSK, 3 for 8-PSK, 4 for 16-QAM
•
Pay close attention to the sign of the middle term
