CDM-570A/570AL Satellite Modem with Optional Packet Processor
Revision 5
Optional Packet Processor - Serial/Telnet CLI Operation 9–24 MN-CDM570A
You must set the Traffic Port Speed/Mode to match the Ethernet port settings of
the connected device port to avoid experiencing significant performance
degradation.
For example, if the connected device port is set for Auto Negotiate, then you
must also set the Packet Processor to Auto Negotiate. Comtech EF Data
recommends that you use Auto Negotiate mode, unless the connected device
port does not support Auto Negotiate. In such cases, both Ethernet ports must be
set to the same Manual settings (i.e., 100 Mbps Full Duplex).

Description
Mgmt MAC Address
[RO]
This is the hardware destination MAC Address that is used when an
Ethernet packet is destined for the Packet Processor M&C Ethernet
Interface. This address is unique and has been assigned permanently
at the factory.
Traffic Port Speed/Mode
E
This is a configurable parameter and, as such, its exact setting can
vary between specific installations. The default setting allows the
Ethernet port to auto-negotiate its link speed on power-up. Selections
are:
1 – Auto (default)
2 – 10 MB/sec Half Duplex
3 – 100 MB/sec Half Duplex
4 – 10 MB/sec Full Duplex
5 – 100 MB/sec Full Duplex
Mgmt IP Address
I
Select this to assign the IP Address for the Ethernet M&C Interface.
Set the IP address in aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd format
Subnet Prefix Length
M
Select this to define the Subnet Mask assigned to the Ethernet Traffic
Interface. Set the subnet mask prefix length (8...30)
DM/Red Traffic MAC Address
[RO]
This is the hardware destination MAC Address that is used when an
Ethernet packet is destined for the Packet Processor Traffic Ethernet
Interface. This address is unique and has been assigned permanently
at the factory.
DM/Red Traffic IP Addr
In Managed Switch Mode, this entry is not applicable.
In Router mode this parameter can be configured when either
Redundancy is Enabled Or Dedicated Management Port is Enabled.
DM/Red Traffic Subnet Prefix
In Managed Switch Mode, this entry is not applicable.
