The keypad comprises six individual keyswitches. The keys have a positive ‘click’ action
that provides tactile feedback. Enter data via the keypad. Data, prompts, and messages
are displayed on the VFD.
• Serial Remote Control – Configuration, monitoring and control of redundant systems is
possible via remote means over an EIA-485 multi-drop bus using the Serial Console
Command Line Interface (CLI), where data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form using
ASCII characters.
• Ethernet Remote Control – Configuration, monitoring and control of redundant systems is
possible via remote means over an Ethernet connection using the CDM-7XX Web Server
(HTTP) Interface.
4.6.1 Non-IP Diversity Switching Configuration
Do these steps for setup of the CDM-710GL, -710, or -700 modems for Diversity Switching when
the terrestrial data type is non-Ethernet (e.g., ASI, HSSI, G.703):
Step Task
1 On both modems, set the redundancy to the Enable state:
CONFIG: AUX (Redundancy Mode)  ENA/DIS – set to Enable.
2 Connect all cables to the modems and the CDS-100. This includes the modem and external controller
cables.

4.6.2 IP Diversity Switching Configuration
Do these steps for setup of the CDM-710GL, -710, or -700 modems for IP Diversity Switching
(i.e., when the terrestrial data type is Gigabit Ethernet (GigE or GbE)):
Step Task
1 Before you connect the modems to the CDS-100, you must configure the following CDI-70 IP module
settings on the modem. From the modem front panel:
CONFIG: AUX (Redundancy Mode)  ENA/DIS set to Disable.
2 On both modems, set the redundancy to the Enable state:
CONFIG: AUX (Redundancy Mode)  ENA/DIS set to Enable.
Press ENTER to save your settings.
3 Connect all cables to the modems and the CDS-100. This includes the modem and external controller
cables. Additionally, you will need an Ethernet connection between the modems via a user-provided
Layer 2 switch.
