Vipersat CDM-570/570L User Guide

Caution: Do not connect the TX cable until the modem is properly configured,

and the Home State is verified and Saved.

Caution: Do not connect the TX and RX cables to test equipment without the

use of a DC voltage block. If BUC or LNB power is disabled through

the CLI, the setting must be Saved to prevent accidental re-enabling

during modem reboot or power-cycle.

Initial Configuration

Note: Many of the settings required for equipment configuration are based on

the LAN/WAN and Satellite network design, and should be obtained from

the network administrator.

Terminal Connection

These procedures are performed using the CLI from a workstation connected to

the modem/router either via a direct connection to the Console port (a console

cable is shipped with each unit), or via a telnet connection to the Traffic 100

port. Alternatively, HyperTerminal or any of the other connection methods

described in the CDM-570/570L Installation and Operation Manual may be

used.
Make a terminal connection to the target CDM-570/570L modem/router. If

connecting via the Traffic 100 Ethernet port (do not use the M&C port), enter

the IP address of the unit. The factory default IP address for a Vipersat enabled

unit is 192.168.254.1. Configure the terminal for VT-100 emulation mode.

Once a terminal connection has been made, the CDM-570/570L will respond

with a Login prompt. The factory defaults for accessing the Admin level are:

Login: comtech
Password: comtech

Once the operator has logged in, the Main Menu shown in figure 2-1 is

displayed.
