The CID message is composed of the following information:
• CDM-625A MAC Address • Latitude and Longitude
• Contact Telephone number • Custom message
D.4 Configuring the CDM-625A for Carrier ID Operation
Carrier ID operation requires that you first enable Carrier ID feature operation, and then create
a MetaCarrier Custom Message. All other parameters (center frequency, symbol rate, and the
CDM-625’s MAC address) are set automatically. The CDM-625A provides several means for
configuring Carrier ID operation:
• Local Control via the CDM-625A Front Panel keypad and VFD.
• Remote Control with a user-supplied PC via the
o CDM-625A HTTP (Web Server) Interface using a compatible Web browser.
o Serial-based or Telnet-based Remote Control Interface using a terminal emulation
program or Windows Command-line.
o Ethernet-based Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) using a Network
Management System (NMS) and Management Information Base (MIB) File Browser.
USE OF THE SERIAL-BASED REMOTE CONTROL INTERFACE, THE TELNET-BASED
REMOTE CONTROL INTERFACE, AND THE ETHERNET-BASED SNMP INTERFACE ARE
RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS. COMTECH EF DATA STRONGLY
ENCOURAGES USE OF THE CDM-625A FRONT PANEL OR HTTP (WEB SERVER)
INTERFACE FOR MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C) OF THE CDM-625A.
