Figure 1-1. CDD-564A 70/140 MHz IF Satellite Quad Demodulator

Figure 1-2. CDD-564AL L-Band Satellite Quad Demodulator

Figure 1-3. CDD-562AL L-Band Satellite Dual Demodulator

Both frequency versions serve as replacements for the CDD-564L/CDD-562L (L-Band) or CDD564(70/140 MHz) Satellite Demodulators. They are 100% backwards compatible with their predecessors, but incorporate new features and exp ansion capabilities.

Unless otherwise specified, these pr oducts are referred to collectively throughout this manual as the CDD-56xA/L.

1–1

CDD-562AL/564A/L Multi-Channel Dem odulator Revision 0 Introduction MN-CDD562AL/564AL

1.1.1 CDD-56xA/L Features

The CDD-56xA/L has many standard and optional features:

• Fast acquisition demodulator

• The CDD-564A:

o Provides a 70/140 MHz IF frequency range from 50 to 90 MHz and 100 to 180 MHz.

• The CDD-564AL:

o Provides an L-Band IF frequency range from 950 to 2250 MHz. o Supports external Low-Noise Block Down Converters (LNBs). o Consumes only 55 Watts (without LNB).

• The CDD-564A/L is equipped for 10/100 BaseT Ethernet operation with a number of key

features for Wide Area Network (WAN) bandwidth optimization: very low overhead High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) encapsulation, Header and Payload Decompression.

• The CDD-564A/L offers variable data rates from 16 kbps to 10.239 Mbps, in BPSK, QPSK, 8-

PSK, 8-QAM, and 16-QAM modes.

• The CDD-564A/L provides, as Forward Error Correction (FEC) options: Turbo Product Coding

(TPC, IESS-315 compliant), ULL (Ultra Low Latency), and VersaFEC® (a short-block, low latency Low-density Parity Check Coding (LDPC)).

• The CDD-564A/L is compact – it is 1RU high, with a depth of 17.25 inches

• The CDD-564A/L has an integrated 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface for network-based remote

product M&C – including SNMP, HTTP (non-secure Web server), and Telnet.

1.2 Functional Descript ion

The demodulator has three interface types: IF Ethernet (data), Traffic Ethernet (data) and M&C 100 (Dedicated Management Port).

• The IF interface provides independent unidirectional links (Rx only) with the satellite via the

downlink equipment.

• The Traffic 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, if the Dedicated Management Port is disabled.

• The M&C Ethernet interface is a 10/100 Ethernet Port. It is used only for managing the modem

over Web/SNMP/Telnet when Dedicated Management Port operation is enab led. The modem can be managed only through this M&C Ethernet port when Dedicated Management Port operation is enabled. In Dedicated Management Port mode, the Traffic 100 port aggregates the data from all demodulators, and the unit is not accessible for M&C, except through the M&C 100 port.

The10/100 Ethernet M&C port is inactive when Dedicated Management Port operation is disabled.

In both L-Band and 70/140 MHz operation, receive signals are first converted to a UHF frequency for SAW filtering. Then, they are down converted to a lower IF frequency for direct sampling in a high speed

1–2

CDD-562AL/564A/L Multi-Channel Dem odulator Revision 0 Introduction MN-CDD562AL/564AL

A/D converter. An AGC circuit contro ls the signal level presented to the A/D conver ter. Digital signal processing does the final quadrature conversion to baseband, followed by Nyquist filtering, carrier recovery and symbol timing recovery. The resulting demodulated signal is fed, in soft decision form, to the selected FEC decoder. The FEC decoder can be TPC or VersaFEC.

After decoding, the recovered clock and data pass to the IP Module. In the IP Module, traffic is examined and processed for four channels before it is delivered to the Ethernet port.

The demodulator’s signal processing functions occur in two, large Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). This 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 serial and Ethernet interfaces.

As shown in the block diagrams in Figure 1-3, the demodulator is comprised of a single printed circuit board assembly with integral FEC and IP router.

4 Read the Installation and Operation Manual carefully to become familiar with operation.

Inspect the equipment for any possible damage incurred during shipment. Contact the carrier and Comtech EF Data immediately to submit a dam age report if damage is evident.

2.2 Installing the CDD-56xA/L into a rack

For information about custom rack enclosures, contact Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours or visit Comtech EF Dat a’s Web site (www.comtechefdata.com/support.asp

The CDD-56xA/L CANNOT have rack slides installed on the sides of the chassis. Cooling fans and exhaust vents are provided here – air flow must not be impeded.

Comtech EF Data recommends that an alternate method of support is provided within the rack, such as standard rack shelves (Figure 2-2) or the optional Rear Support Brackets Kit (Figure 2-3). If there is any doubt, contact Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours.

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 properly grounded, using the ground stud provided on the unit rear panel,

during installation, configuration, 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-installed fans or blowers.

Make sure there is adequate clearance inside the enclosure, especially at the side for

air ventilation.

Air temperature inside the rack enclosure should never exceed 50°C (122°F).

4.1.4 Remote Firmware Update via FTP

See Chapter 5, Updating Firmware. The CDD-56xA/L Multi-Channel Demodulator 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.

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 Demodulator 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 demodulat or. 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 clien ts’ request. If there are no active IGMP client s 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 Mul ticast

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

See Chapter 6, Fast Activation Procedure. Additional features can be added quickly on site to the CDD-56xA/L by entering FAST Access Codes

purchased from Comtech EF Data. FAST-accessible options include:

• IP Header Decompression

• Payload Decompression (future)

4.2.1 3xDES Decryption with Ability to Change Keys (future)

The EN version 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 Decompression

Header Decompression also is an optional feature of the demodulator. The demodulator supports Header Decompression for the following Ethernet and 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 bandwid th to cross the link. A total maximum of 64 simultaneous VoIP calls can be compressed. Norm al Web/HTTP traffic can be reduced an additional 10% via IP/TCP header compression.

4.2.2.1 Header Decompression Configuration

Header Decompression requires one configuration change. Make sure the Header Compression and Decompression feature is enabled on both the sending and receiving IP modem and demodulator.

Packets with a Header Decompression header are identified automatically for decompression. You might want to change only one configuration parameter: the Header Decompression Refresh Rate.

This rate is how many decompressed header packets are sen t before a single, full header packet is sent. Sometimes, compressed header traffic can be lost during poor satellite link conditions. Sending a full

header packet allows the traffic stream to return. You can i ncrease the Refresh Rate for poor satellite link conditions, or decrease the Refresh Rate to reduce overhead.

4.2.3 Payload Decompression (future)

Traffic optimization through Payload Decompression is another optional feature of the demodulator.

• FAST feature to upgrade

• Compression algorithm applied to all data (HDLC header excluded) on the transmit side

• Compression algorithm not applied to RTP streams because this traffic is already compressed and

would only increase the satellite bandwidth if compressed again.

4–4

CDD-562AL/564A/L Multi-Channel Dem odulator Revision 0 IP Module Ethernet Interface MN-CDD562AL564AL

• Additional statistics added to the compression statistics menu to give feedback on the

compression efficiency achieved.

4.2.3.1 ALDC vs LZS Com pres si on 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 dat a 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-56xA/L 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 i s 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.

The demodulator only supports Router Mode, so the CDM-IP modem that is transmitting to demodulator must be in Router Mode.

The HDLC Address Mode of the Comtech EF Dat a IP modems must be identical to pass traf f ic between the TX modems and the demodulator.

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.

4.4.1.1 Router Working Mode with DVB Overlay

Figure 4-1 shows an example setup using the CDD-562L L-Band Satellite Dual Demodulator at a Hub site to receive two separate return chan nels.

• The CDD-562L and all CDM-IP modems are in Point-to-Point Mode.

• Each remote site has a CDM-IP modem with a default static route.

• The CDD-562L has a default static route directing traffic to the hub router.

• The hub router would have routes defined for each remote network that would be directed to

the DVB Encapsulator.

Figure 4-2 shows an example setup using the CDD-564 (70/140 MHz) or CDD-564L (L-Band) Satellite Quad Demodulator at a Hub site to receive t hree separate return channels.

• The demodulator and all CDM-IP modems are in Point-to-Point Mode.

• Each remote site has a CDM-IP modem with a defaul t static route.

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 TDM 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. (TX C is shown, but is not required.)

Figure 4-4 shows a “Star Network” Point-to-Multipoint Configuration where the Hub CDM-IP modem is transmitting a common TDM 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 CDD564L (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.

• Each CDM-IP modem would select the HDLC address associated with its site as an Rx HDLC

Address. Therefore:

o Both the Hub CDM-IP modem and CDD-564L would have 0x01 as the first RX HDLC

Address

4–12

CDD-562AL/564A/L Multi-Channel Dem odulator Revision 0 IP Module Ethernet Interface MN-CDD562AL564AL

o CDM-IP Remote ‘A’ would have 0x02 o CDM-IP Remote ‘B’ would have 0x03 o 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 acce ss. 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 remot e networks with the HDLC address associated with each site.

Chapter 5. UPDATING FIRMWARE

5.1 Upda ting Firmware via the Internet

NOTE: To ensure optimal performance, it is important to operate the CDD-56xA/L with

its latest available firmware.

The CDD-56xA/L Multi-Channel Demodulator 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 fir mware update file, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) upload, from the user PC to

the CDD-56xA/L.

• Perform the update, without opening the CDD-56xA/L, using the rear panel interface M&C

connections:

• The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port connects to the Ethernet port of the user PC for user access to

SNMP/Telnet/HTTP operations. Note:

If Dedicated Management is disabled, then you must use the Traffic port for the upgrade process. If Dedicated Management is enabled, then you must use the M&C port for the upgrade process.

• The Console port connects to an available serial port for user access to the IP Module Command

Line Interface (CLI) operations.

Chapter 6. FAST ACTIVATION

PROCEDURE

6.1 FAST System Overview

The CDD-56xA/L Multi-Channel Demodulator incorporates a number of optional features. In order to permit a lower initial cost, the unit may be purchased with only the desired features enabled. If, at a later date, the user wishes to upgrade the functi onality 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.

FAST Access Codes are unique authori zation codes that may be purchased from Comtech EF Dat a, and then activated in the unit using either t he HTTP (Web Server) Interface or the Command Line Interface. Contact a Comtech EF Data sales representati ve during normal business hours, or via e-mail to

sales@comtechefdata.com

, to order the desired options.

6.1.1 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 on-location, 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.

6.1.2 FAST Implementation

Comtech EF Data’s FAST system is factory-implemented in the demodulator. All FAST options are available through the basic platform unit at the time of order. FAST allows immediate activation of available options – first, upon entry of the register-specific FAST Access Code, and then by setting the desired operational parameters using the HTTP Interface or the CLI.

6.1.3 FAST Accessible Options

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 acti vated, 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 hardwar e.

Chapter 7. ETHERNET-BASED

REMOTE PRODUCT

MANAGEMENT

7.1 Introduction

Ethernet-based Remote Product Management of the CDD-56xA/L Multi-Channel Demodulator is available using the rear panel RJ-45 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Traffic/M&C port.

The M&C port is available only when Dedicated Management Port operation is enabled.

7.2 Ethernet Management Interface Protocols

A user-supplied PC is required for Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the CDD-56xA/L. Three separately-operated protocols are available:

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

• Telnet Interface

• HTTP Web Server Interface

7.2.1 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMP requires these user-supplied items:

• Network Management System (NMS)

• Management Information Base (MIB) File Browser

7.2.2 Telnet Interface

Telnet requires these user-supplied items:

• User PC

• Command-Line I nterface (CLI)

• Terminal emulation program installed on the user PC

7.2.3 HTTP Web Server Interface

The Web Server Interface requires these user-supplied items:

• User PC

7–1

CDD-562AL/564A/L Multi-Channel Dem odulator Revision 0 Ethernet-based Remote Product Management MN-CDD562AL564AL

• Compatible web browser, such as In ternet Explorer

7.3 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:

• Managed device

• SNMP agent

• Network Management System (NMS)

7.3.1 Managed device

This includes the CDD-56xA/L Multi-Channel Demodulator.

7.3.2 SNMP Agent

This is the software that runs on the CDD-56xA/L. The CDD-56xA/L SNMP Agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.

7.3.3 User-supplied Network Management System (NMS)

This is the software that runs on the manager.

7.3.4 Management Information Base (MIB) Files

MIB files are used for SNMP remote management of a unique device. These MIB files must be compiled in a user-supplied MIB Browser, or compiled on an SNMP Network Monitoring System server.

A MIB file consists of a tree of nodes called Object Identifiers (OIDs). Each OID provides remote management of a particular function.

7.3.4.1 FW-0020899*.mib, MIB file

CDD-564A MIB file consists of all of the OIDs for management of the demodulators functions.

7.3.4.2 FW-0020903*.mib, Traps MIB file

CDD-564A Traps MIB file is provided for SNMPv1 traps.

Authentication Failure

Ethernet-based Remote Product Management MN-CDD562AL564AL

7.3.5 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-56xA/L 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.

For correct SNMP operation, the CDD-56xA/L MIB files must be used with the applicable version of the demodulator M&C. See the CDD-562AL/564A/564AL FW Release Notes for information on the required FW/SW compatibility.

The maximum nu mber of characters f or community strings shall not exceed 20. All printable ASCII characters, except ’\’ and ‘~’ are allowed. No trailing spaces are permitted for community strings.

Any changes made to the IP Parameters are lost if the demodulator is reset or loses power, unless the changes were first saved to permanent storage. The IP Parameters can be saved by a SET of the cdd564SaveParamToFlash OID within the MIB.

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 = public

7.3.6 SNMP Traps

The CDD-56xA/L supports both SNMPv1 traps and SNMPv2 notifications. The demodulator can send out SNMP traps when certain events occur in the demodulator.

Use the cdd564aSNMPTrapVersion OID to select which style of traps the dem odu la t or sends. These styles include unit faults, Rx faults and LNB faults. A trap is sent when a fault occurs and when it is cleared.

The CDD-56xA/L supports these MIB-II v1traps/v2 notifications:
