Figure 6-32. Configuration | ANT | SNTP page
CDM-625 modems are configurable for continuous pairing as Primary and non-Primary Modems
in an Antenna Handover System when the MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) feature is enabled.
Ethernet data traffic is transmitted and received via the Primary and Non-Primary CDM-625’s
four 10/100 Ethernet ports. The Antenna Handover signal received from the user-provided IF/RF
switch determines which modem is the ONLINE or OFFLINE unit:
• The ONLINE unit transmits traffic only to the WAN side while, at the same time, the
OFFLINE unit’s Tx is muted.
• Both the ONLINE and OFFLINE units receive the satellite traffic, but only the ONLINE unit
forwards traffic to the LAN side while the OFFLINE unit drops the packets.
• Any time a unit switches from the OFFLINE to ONLINE state, the traffic destined for the
WAN is buffered, preconfigured in milliseconds (base modem → Antenna Handover
delay).
