General Device Settings and Actions
MDM9000 Satellite Modem
14.13 Control Plane
The control plane is used to provide in-band signaling between the MDM9000 and Newtec
equipment. The advantage of in-band signaling is that it separates the signaling messages from the
management and traffic data. This improves the security and simplifies the system setup.
In practice: In-band signaling is used to send over ACM, AUPC and other signaling messages.
IP en/decapsulation must be present on all sites in the system setup. Otherwise it is
not possible to setup the control plane.
The MDM9000 also allows to manage remote Newtec and third party equipment.
