Using STDMA ECM
Entry Channel mode operates slightly differently from other STDMA modes
due to the STDMA burst controller losing the ability to automatically control
the modem unit once it is operating in SCPC mode.
Once the switch from ECM to SCPC has occurred in the modem, the unit no
longer sends switch requests so VMS does not have a switch request to respond
to switch the modem back to STDMA from SCPC mode. The operator will have
to manually intervene to force a switch back into STDMA mode.
The following procedure illustrates this and demonstrates how to change the
operation of a modem operating in SCPC mode back to STDMA mode.
Figure E-17 shows the STDMA page for the CDM-570/570L set up to run in
Entry Channel mode.
Note: Refer to the Vipersat SLM-5650A modem manual for Entry Channel
configuration setup. The text referenced within is similar between the
