CDM-570A/570AL Satellite Modem with Optional Packet Processor

Revision 5

Installation and Startup 2–6 MN-CDM570A

2.5 Connect the External Cables

Once the desired configuration settings have been made, and proper operation has been verified

using the IF Loopback test mode, proceed to connect all external cables to the connectors

outlined in the next chapter (Chapter 3. REAR PANEL CONNECTORS

AND PINOUTS). Should

difficulties occur, call Comtech EF Data Product Support for assistance.
