•The channel controller manages user terminals in the system with a five-digit
Terminal base Address (TBA). Each radio must have a different TBA. The
addresses range from 00001 to 65535 with 00000 reserved for the channel
controller. The network controller keeps track of which terminals are authorized
to access the satellite resources and allocates the assignment of resources
based on service type and precedence.
• When a Satellite Access Request (SAR) for DAMA is approved for a unit, all
TBAs are added to a single Network Address. Both the TBA and Network
address must be programmed into the radio.
• The Guard list is a list of TBAs and the Network address that a terminal “listens
for”. Any communication request that matches an address in the Guard List, the
terminal will connect to. However, according to a FORSCOM DAMA
Programming guide, only the Network address is entered in the Guard List. No
TBAs will be in the Guard list.
