Configure Modulator – Carrier ID
Carrier ID – DVB CID Global Unique ID: The SDM 989 can optionally provide a carrier added to
the transmission that contains a unique identifier value (DVB CID Global Unique ID). The
identifier value may be used to trace and quickly resolve a satellite interference event to a
transmitting source. The Global Unique Identifier is a fixed value for the equipment manufacturer
and is not editable by the user. It may be derived from a 48 bit MAC address or a 48 bit Space
Data Association modulator identifier.
