Introduction MN/CDD564L.IOM
1.2 Functional Description
The CDD-562L has two Rx channels. The CDD-564/564L have four Rx channels.
The demodulators have two fundamentally different types of interface: Ethernet and IF.
The Ethernet interface is a bidirectional path, which connects with the customer’s equipment
through an Ethernet Switch. The Ethernet interface is a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port where data
flow is the combined output of the demodulator channels. Control and status information also
uses this port.
The IF interfaces provides independent unidirectional links (Rx only) with the satellite via the
downlink equipment.
In the demodulator, the Rx IF signal in the range (50– 90 or 100–180 MHz for 70/140 MH z units,
and 950–1950 MHz for L-Band units) is translated to an intermediate frequency (approx. 465 MHz
for L-Band), and then further translated to baseband using the carrier recovery VCO. This is a
complex mix, resulting in the signal once more being split into an in-phase (I) and a qu adrature (Q)
component.
An AGC circuit maintains the desired signal level constant over a broad range. Following this, the I
and Q signals are sampled by high-speed (flash) A/D converters. All processing beyond this
conversion is purely digital, performing the functions of Nyquist filtering, carrier recovery, and
symbol timing recovery. The resultant demodulated signal is fed, in soft decision form, to the
selected FEC decoder (Turbo).
After decoding, the recovered clock and data pass to the IP Module where traffic is examined and
processed for four channels before it is delivered to the Ethernet port.
The demodulator signal processing functions are performed in two, large Field-Programmable Gate
Array (FPGA), which permits rapid implementation of changes, additions and enhancements in the
field. These signal-processing functions are controlled and monitored by a 32-bit RISC
microprocessor, which also controls all front panel indicators, serial and Ethernet interfaces.

1.3.8 Fully Accessible Sy stem Topology (FAST)
Appendix A. FAST ACTIVATION PROCEDURE
The demodulators incorporate a large number of op tional features. In order to permit a lo wer initial
cost, a demodulator may be purchased with only the d esired features enabled . If , a t a l at e r d at e, t h e
user wishes to upgrade the functionality of a unit, Comtech EF Data provides Fully Accessible
System Topology (FAST), a technology which permits the purchase and installation of options
through special authorization codes. These unique Fast Access Codes may be purchased from
Comtech EF Data during normal business hours, and then loaded into the unit using either the
serial/Telnet CLI (connected to the rear panel “Remote control” port) or the unit’s Web Server
(HTTP) Interface.
FAST System Theory
FAST allows an operator to order a unit precisely tailored for the initial application. When
service requirements change, FAST allows the operator to upgrade the topology of the unit onlocation, within minutes, and without having to remove the unit from the setup. This accelerated
upgrade is possible due to FAST’s extensive use of the programmable logic devices incorporated
into Comtech EF Data products.
FAST Implementation
Hardware options can be ordered and installed either at the factory or in the field. In the field, the
operator can select options that can be easily activated, depending on the current hardware

configuration of the unit. The unique, register-specific FAST Access Code that is purchased from
Comtech EF Data enables configuration of the available hardware.
FAST Accessible Options
Hardware options for basic demodulators can be ordered and installed either at the factory or in
the field. The operator can select options that can be activated easily in the field, depending on
the current hardware configuration of the demodulator. A unique access code enables
configuration of the available hardware.
As standard features, the demodulator is configured with an Integrated IP router compatible with
the optional IP Module/router available in the CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem, and Integrated

1.4.5 BER (Bit Error Rate)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting with Release 1.4.1 of the CDM-570/570L firmware, the maximum symbol rate has been increased
from 2.5 to 3.0 Symbol/sec. This has been done without modification to the hardware and as a consequence there may be a
small degradation in BER versus Eb/No performance for rates above 2.5 Msymbols/sec.
The degradation is as follows:
Rates from 2.5 to 2.65 Msps: degradation < 0.1 dB
Rates from 2.65 to 2.80 Msps: degradation < 0.2 dB
Rates from 2.80 to 3.00 Msps: degradation < 0.3 dB

• PROPER GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. The equipment must be
connected to the protective earth connection at all times. It is therefore
imperative that the unit is prop erl y groun ded, us ing th e grou nd stud pr ovid ed on
the unit rear panel, during installation, con figuration , and operation.
• PROPER AIR VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. In a rack system where there is
high heat discharge, provide forced-air cooling with top- or bottom-mounted
fans or blowers.
o Make sure there is adequate clearance inside the enclosure, especially
at the side for air ventilation.

Chapter 5. UPDATING FIRMWARE
The CDD-56X Satellite Demodulator with IP Module uses flash memory technology internally.
Firmware update archive files may be downloaded from the Internet to a user PC (from Comtech
EF Data’s website), or obtained through Comtech EF Data Customer Support via e-mail or on CD
by standard mail delivery.
Once acquired from Comtech EF Data, new firmware can be uploaded from the user PC by File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) without opening the unit or having to be in the same physical location.

CDD-562L/564 Demodulator with IP Module Revision 2
IP Module Ethernet Interface MN/CDD564L.IOM
4.1.5 Configuration Backup and Restore via FTP
All demodulator configuration parameters are stored in a simple text file. The parameter file can
easily be retrieved locally or remotely by FTP. The file can then be used to quickly configure a
replacement unit if needed.
4.1.6 Event Logging to Capture All Dem o dulator Activity
All activity can be stored into an easy-to-read Event Log. This file also can be retrieved locally or
remotely by FTP.
4.1.7 Detailed Statistics of IP Traffic
IP traffic statistics are continuously updated and allow detailed performance analysis or can be
used to identify traffic problems. The statistics are available through the Serial Console locally, or
can be gathered remotely by SNMP, Telnet, or HTTP.
4.1.8 IGMP Support for Multicast
IGMP is a standard feature in the demodulator. If enabled as an IGMP client, it responds to IGMP
queries for the configured multicast routes. If enabled as an IGMP server, it generates IGMP queries
and transmits multicast traffic per IGMP clients’ request. If th ere are no active IGMP clients on the
LAN, it will stop forwarding the multicast traffic (received from the satellite) to the LAN.
4.1.9 Static IP Routing for Unicast and Multicast
Up to 256 static routes can be entered into the demodulator to direct IP traffic to another device
on the local LAN.
4.2 Demodulator Features
Appendix A. FAST ACTIVATION PROCEDURE
Additional features can be added quickly on site to the CDD-56X by entering FAST Access
Codes purchased from Comtech EF Data. FAST-accessible options include:
• 3xDES Data Encryption
• IP Header Compression
• Payload Compression
4–3
CDD-562L/564 Demodulator with IP Module Revision 2
IP Module Ethernet Interface MN/CDD564L.IOM
4.2.1 3xDES Encryption with Ability to Change Keys
The demodulator optionally supports 3xDES-128 (using NIST certified 3x core) decryption for
the highest-level security. For link encryption, each unit supports eight decryption keys.
4.2.2 IP Header Compression
Header Compression also is an optional feature of the demodulator. The demodulator supports
Header Compression for the following Ethernet and Layer 3 & 4 Headers:
Supported Ethernet Headers
Ethernet 2.0
Ethernet 2.0 + VLAN-tag
Ethernet 2.0 + MPLS
802.3-raw
802.3-raw + VLAN-tag
802.3 + 802.2
802.3 + 802.2 + VLAN-tag
802.3 + 802.2 + SNAP
802.3 + 802.2 + SNAP + VLAN-tag
802.3 + 802.2 + SNAP + MPLS
Supported Layer 3&4 Headers
IP
TCP
UDP
RTP (Codec Independent)
Header Compression reduces the required VoIP bandwidth by 60 percent. Example: A G.729a
voice codec, operating at 8 kbps, will occupy 32 kbps once encapsulated into IP framing on a
LAN. Using IP/UDP/RTP Header Compression, the same traffic only needs 10.8 kbps total WAN
satellite bandwidth to cross the link. A total maximum of 64 simultaneous VoIP calls can be
compressed. Normal Web/HTTP traffic can be reduced an additional 10% via IP/TCP header
compression.
Header Compression Configuration – Header Compression is completely independent from
QoS, and there is no configuration required except enabling the Header Compression feature on
both the sending and receiving Comtech EF Data IP modem/demod. Packets with a Header
Compression supported header will automatically be identified for compression. The only
configuration consideration is the Header Compression Refresh Rate. This is how many
compressed header packets will be sent before a single full header packet is sent. Sometimes
compressed header traffic could be lost during deteriorated satellite link conditions. Sending a full
header packet will allow the return of the traffic stream. The Refresh Rate can be increased for
poor satellite link conditions or decreased to further reduce overhead.

CDD-562L/564 Demodulator with IP Module Revision 2
IP Module Ethernet Interface MN/CDD564L.IOM
4.2.3 Payload Compression
Traffic optimization through Payload Compression is another optional feature of the demodulator.
• FAST feature to upgrade
• Uses AHA© chip
• Compression algorithm applied to all data (HDLC header excluded).
• Compression statistics are fed back to QoS in order to maximize WAN utilization
while maintaining priority, jitter and latency.
• 1024 simultaneous compression sessions to maximize compression across multiple
distinct traffic flows.
• Compression algorithm not applied to RTP streams because this traffic is already
compressed and would only INCREASE the satellite bandwidth if compressed again.
• Additional statistics have been added to the compression statistics menu in order to
provide feedback on the compression efficiency that has been achieved.
• Payload Compression is selectable on a per route basis.
4.2.3.1 ADLC vs LZS Compression Comparison
These numbers have been generated using an internally created test program. This program
takes the target benchmark files and splits the files into payload size chunks and compresses
each chunk in a separate invocation of the compression algorithm. This is important to note
because most compression algorithms are applied to the entire file data set as a single
invocation of the compression algorithm, which is easier for other types of compression
algorithms (LZS, GZIP in specific). This, of course, does not apply to streamed packet data
across an IP network (e.g., FTP transfer).

4.4 Typical IP Module Operational Setups
The CDD-56X has several modes of operation. The typical setup examples that follow serve as a
means to determine the best mode of operation for the appropriate network topology and Ethernet
traffic environment.
4.4.1 IP Module Working Modes
Typical CDM-IP modems support two Working Modes: Managed Switch Mode (formerly
easyConnect™) and Router Mode; however, the demodulator only supports Router Mode, so
the CDM-IP modem that is transmitting to demodulator must be in Router Mode. Non-IP
traffic is not supported in Router Mode.
Router Mode supports three HDLC Addressing Modes: Point-to-Point, Small Network, and Large
Network. Separate HDLC Modes allow the user to minimize the HDLC overhead transmitted
over the satellite based on the size of their network.
In Router/Point-to-Point Mode, no HDLC address is transmitted, Router/Small Network transmits
1 byte, and Router/Large Network transmits 2 bytes as part of HDLC header for each packet.
In the sections that follow, the functionality of these modes is described in further detail, in order
to optimize the Comtech EF Data IP modems in the network, based upon Network Topology and
Ethernet Traffic requirements.
1. The demodulator only supports Router Mode, so the CDM-IP modem that is
transmitting to demodulator must be in Router Mode.
2. The HDLC Address Mode of the Comtech EF Data IP modems must be
identical to pass traffic between the TX modems and the demodulator.
3. Changing the HDLC Address Mode of the demodulator requires the IP
Module to be rebooted. Before the user can select a different mode, the
demodulator will notify the user that changing the mode will require a reboot.

4.4.1.2 Router Working Mode – Point-to-Multipoint
Figure 4-3 shows a “Star Network” Point-to-Multipoint Configuration, where the Hub CDM-IP
modem is transmitting a common STDMA carrier to two remote sites with CDM-IP modems. In turn,
the Remote CDM-IP is transmitting a link back to the Hub that is received by the CDD-562L L-Band
Satellite Dual Demodulator.

Figure 4-4 shows a “Star Network” Point-to-Multipoint Configuration where the Hub
CDM-IP modem is transmitting a common STDMA carrier to three remote sites with CDM-IP
modems. In turn, the Remote CDM-IP is transmitting a link back to the Hub that is received by
the CDD-564 (70/140 MHz) or CDD-564L (L-Band) Satellite Quad Demodulator.
Figure 4-4. (CDD-564/564L) Point-to-Multipoint Router Working Mode Diagram
Since this is a Point-to-Multipoint configuration, HDLC addressing is used so that the traffic
not intended for a particular destination can be filtered (Small or Large HDLC Mode). For
unicast traffic, it is best to associate a unique HDLC address for each site in the network. In this
case:
• The Hub Site is HDLC 0x01
• CDM-IP Remote ‘A’ is HDLC 0x02
• CDM-IP Remote ‘B’ is 0x03
• CDM-IP Remote ‘C’ is 0x04.
4–12
CDD-562L/564 Demodulator with IP Module Revision 2
IP Module Ethernet Interface MN/CDD564L.IOM
Each CDM-IP modem would select the HDLC address associated with its site as an Rx HDLC
Address. Therefore:
• Both the Hub CDM-IP modem and CDD-564L would have 0x01 as the first RX HDLC
Address
• CDM-IP Remote ‘A’ would have 0x02
• CDM-IP Remote ‘B’ would have 0x03
• CDM-IP Remote ‘C’ would have 0x04.
The remote CDM-IP modems only need a single default route to is directed to the Hub HDLC,
0x01. All of the traffic is managed by the static route entries in the hub CDM-IP and
demodulator. The demodulator has a default route to the router for Internet access. It also has
specific routes for the remote networks which are directed to the Hub CDM-IP. The Hub CDM-IP
also has specific routes for the remote networks with the HDLC address associated with each site.

Chapter 5. UPDATING FIRMWARE
5.1 Updating Firmware via th e Intern et
TO ENSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO OPERATE THE
CDD-56X WITH ITS LATEST AVAILABLE FIRMWARE.
The CDD-56X Satellite Demodulator with IP Module eliminates the need for updating firmware
by physically replacing EPROMs. Instead, the demodulator uses ‘Flash memory’ technology
internally. This makes the firmware update process very simple. Firmware update archive files
may be downloaded from the Internet (from Comtech EF Data’s website), or obtained through
Comtech EF Data Customer Support via e-mail or on CD by standard mail delivery.
The complete firmware update process is as follows:
• New firmware can be downloaded from Comtech EF Data’s website to a user-supplied
PC.
• Transfer the firmware update file, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) upload, from the user
PC to the CDD-56X.
• Perform the update, without opening the CDD-56X, using the rear panel interface M&C
connections:
o The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port connects to the Ethernet port of the user PC for user
access to SNMP/Telnet/HTTP operations.
o The Console port connects to an available serial port for user access to the IP Module
Command Line Interface (CLI) operations.

Verify that:
• The firmware update has been downloaded to the user PC and is available in the
temporary folder, and
• The user PC is connected to the CDD-56X 10/100 Ethernet port either via a hu b or a
switch or with a direct Ethernet cable connection, and that the CDD-56X Console port
(do NOT
use the Remote Control port) is connected to a serial port on the user PC
using an adapter cable.
Confirm that there is proper connection and communication between the user PC and the
CDD-56X.
First, determine the IP Address as follows:
• Using the front panel – use the SELECT: CONFIG Æ Remote Æ Remote Æ
Ethernet menu.
• Using serial remote control – use the <0/IPA? query.
Then, use Command-line to “ping” the modem:
• From Windows, click [Start] on the Windows toolbar, and then select the Run... option
(as an alternative, use the ‘Command-line Prompt’ or ‘Command Prompt’ icon in
the Start menu):
o Using Win95 or Win98 – Type “command”.

Chapter 6. ETHERNET-BASED
REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
6.1 Introduction
Ethernet-based Remote Product Management of the CDD-56X Satellite Demodulator with IP
Module is avai lable using t he rear panel RJ-45 10/100 BaseT Ethernet M&C port. This chapter
summarizes the functionality of this interface and references other chapters for further details.
6.2 Ethernet Management Interface Protocols
A user-supplied PC facilitates access to Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the
CDD-56X through three separately-operated protocols:
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This requires a user-supplied Network
Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base (MIB)
File Browser.
• The Telnet Interface. This requires use of the CDM-625 Command-Line Interface (CLI),
which is accessed via a user-supplied terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal,
installed on the user PC.
• The CDD-56X HTTP (Web Server) Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied
web browser such as Int erne t Ex plo re r.
6.3 SNMP Interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing
devices on IP networks. An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components:
• The managed device. This includes the CDD-56X Demodulator with IP Module.
6–1
CDD-562L/564 Demodulator with IP Module Revision 2
Ethernet-based Remote Product Management MN/CDD564L.IOM
• The SNMP Agent. The software that runs on the CDD-56X. The CDD-56X SNMP
Agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
• The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS). The software that runs on
the manager.
6.3.1 Management Information Base (MIB) Files
MIB files are used for SNMP remote management of a unique device. A MIB file consists of a
tree of nodes called Object Identifiers (OIDs). Each OID provides remote management of a
particular function. These MIB files should be compiled in a user-supplied MIB Browser or
SNMP Network Monitoring System server.
The following MIB files are associated with the CDD-56X:
MIB File/Name
(where * is revision letter)
FW11669-2*.mib
ComtechEFData MIB file
FW11669-3*.mib
MIB file
FW11669-4*.mib
Traps MIB file
Description
ComtechEFData MIB file gives the root tree for ALL Comtech EF Data products and
consists of only the following OID:
Name: comtechEFData
OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.6247
Path: iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).comtechEFData(6247)
CDD-564 MIB file consists of all of the OID’s for management of the demodulators
functions.
CDD-564 Traps MIB file is provided for SNMPv1 traps.
6.3.2 SNMP Community Strings
In SNMP v1/v2c, the SNMP Community String is sent unencrypted in the SNMP
packets. Caution must be taken by the network administrator to ensure that
SNMP packets travel only over a secure and private network if security is a
concern.
The CDD-56X uses Community Strings as a password scheme that provides authentication before
gaining access to the demodulator agent’s MIBs. They are used to authenticate users and
determine access privileges to the SNMP agent.
Type the SNMP Community String into the user-supplied MIB Browser or Network Node
Management software.
The user defines three Community Strings for SNMP access:
• Read Community default = public
• Write Community default = private
• Trap Community default = comtech
6–2
CDD-562L/564 Demodulator with IP Module Revision 2
Ethernet-based Remote Product Management MN/CDD564L.IOM
1. For proper SNMP operation, the CDD-56X MIB files must be used with the
associated version of the demodulator M&C. See the CDD-562L/ 564/564L
FW Release Notes for information on the required FW/SW compatibility.
2. Maximum number of character s for co mmunity s trings sh all no t exceed 20. All
printable ASCII characters, except ’\’ a nd ‘~’ are allowed. No trailing spaces
are permitted for community stri ngs.
3. Any changes made to the IP Parameters will be lost if the demodulator is
reset or loses power unless the changes are saved to permanent storage.
The IP Parameters can be saved by a SET of the cdd564SaveParamToFlash
OID within the MIB.
6.3.3 SNMP Traps
The CDD-56X supports both SNMPv1 traps and SNMPv2 notifications. The demodulator has
the ability to send out SNMP traps when certain events occur in the demodulator. Which style of
traps the demodulator sends can be configured by the user using the cdd564SNMPTrapVersion
OID. These include unit faults, Rx faults, and LNB faults. A trap is sent both when a fault occurs
and is cleared.
The following MIB-II v1traps/v2 notifications are supported by the CDD-56X:
MIB-II SNMPv1 traps:
Cold Start 1
Link Up 4
Authentication Failure 5
MIB-II SNMPv2 notifications:
Cold Start 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1
Link Up 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4
Authentication Failure 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.5
The following Alarms and Faults v1 traps / v2 notifications are supported by the CDD-56X:
Alarms and Faults SNMPv1 traps:
cdd564UnitAlarmTrap 6247251
cdd564RxAlarmTrap 6247252
cdd564LNBAlarmTrap 6247253
Alarms and Faults SNMPv2 notifications:
cdd564UnitAlarmNotification 1.3.6.1.4.1.6247.24.2.0.1

6.4 Telnet Interface
The CDD-56X provides a Telnet interface for two primary functions:
1. Equipment M&C via the Command Line Interface (CLI) application. For further details
about using this application, see Chapter 8. IP MODULE CLI AND TELNET
OPERATION.
2. Equipment M&C via Comtech EF Data’s CDM/CDD NMCS application and associated
Remote Control protocol. For further details about using this application, see Appendix
D. CDM/CDD NMCS PROTOCOL.
The Telnet interface requires login at the Administrator and Read/Write User Access Levels. An
example of the login process is shown here:
Once logged into the Telnet interface as the Administrator, the NCMS interface defined in
Appendix D. CDM/CDD NMCS PROTOCOL is accessible, as shown here:
6.4.1 Telnet Operation via HyperTerminal
There is a disadvantage when using Windows Command-line as a Telnet client. Since Commandline cannot translate a ‘\r’ (i.e., carriage return or “CR”) to a ‘\r\n’ (i.e., CR+line feed “LF”) for
the messages coming from Telnet Server, any multi-line Target-to-Controller response (e.g., the

Ethernet-based Remote Product Management MN/CDD564L.IOM
response to the FRW? query) will be displayed as one line, with the latter lines overwriting the
previous lines.
In order to view the full response messages, Comtech EF Data recommends use of the
HyperTerminal terminal emulation program, configured as a Telnet client.
Configure HyperTerminal as follows:
1. Ensure that the connection is made
using TCP/IP (Winsock) instead
of COM1 or COM2, as shown at
the near right.
2. ASCII Setup (File Æ Properties Æ
Settings Æ ASCII Setup): Check
the "Send line ends with line
feeds" option in the ASCII Sending
section, and the "Append line
feeds to incoming line ends"
option in the ASCII Receiving
section, as shown at the far right.
An example of login and remote command/query execution, when using HyperTerminal as the
interface, appears as follows:
