Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
CiM-25
IP-Enabled
M&C Interface

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The CiM-25 is a low-cost solution for providing an Internet Protocol (IP) Monitor and Control (M&C) interface for existing Comtech EF Data satellite modems, RF frequency converters and solid-state power amplifiers. The CiM-25 provides a custom proxy interface between the IP world and the equipment’s existing serial remote control interface.
The CiM-25 provides powerful equipment management tools via HTTP protocol, SNMP v2c Protocol, and Telnet Protocol. Wrapped around these industry standard protocols is a system of account access and IP security control features to safeguard equipment from unwanted intrusions. The CiM-25 brings customer support to a new level by providing SMTP Protocol to facilitate automated, direct E-mail to Comtech EF Data’s Customer Support Center.
The CiM-25 is packaged in a very compact 4.3” x 1.7” x 0.8”. The unit can be powered directly by the attached equipment or via an external AC/DC adapter. The CiM-25 requires less than 1 Watt of power.

Chapter 2. INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Inspect shipping containers for damage. If shipping containers are damaged, keep them until the contents of the shipment have been carefully inspected and checked for normal operation.
Remove the packing list from the outside of the shipping carton. Open the carton and remove the contents, checking the contents against the packing list. Verify completeness of the shipment and that the unit functions correctly. If damage is evident, contact the carrier and Comtech EF Data immediately and submit a damage report. Keep all shipping materials for the carrier's inspection.
If the unit needs to be returned to Comtech EF Data, please use the original shipping container.
2.2 CONFIGURATION
There are no internal jumpers to configure, no interface cards to install, and no other options to install. All configuration is carried out entirely in software. The unit should first be configured locally, using the RJ-45 Ethernet interface. The unit will ship with a default IP address of 10.6.30.1, Gateway 0.0.0.0, and Mask 255.255.0.0. The default Administrator Name and Password are admin and 1234 respectively. See the operations section for details regarding configuring and administrating the CiM-25.

2.3 CONNECTING CIM-25 TO EQUIPMENT
The CiM-25 is designed to connect directly (no cabling) to supported Comtech EF Data Modems, Frequency Converters, or Solid State Power Amplifiers using the equipment’s 9-pin remote control interface port. The CiM-25 interfaces to this equipment via a RS­232 interface at a baud rate of 19200 bps and a data format of 8-N-1. Therefore, it is necessary to first select the RS-232 interface type on the interfacing equipment prior to connecting the CiM-25 to said equipment. Some equipment automatically selects a unit address of 0 when RS-232 is chosen while other equipment requires the user to configure the unit remote control address to 1. In addition, on equipment that supports multiple data formats the user must select 8-N-1 format.
2.3.1 POWERING THE CIM-25
The CiM-25F can accept power either on pin 4 of the DB9 interface to the equipment or via the power jack located next to the RJ-45 connector. An optional AC/DC adapter can be purchased to provide the CiM-25F power via the power-jack connector.
The CiM-25M accepts power via the power jack located next to the RJ-45 connector. An AC/DC adapter must be purchased to provide power to the CiM-25M.
All CDM-550 and CDM-600 modems shipped from the factory after June 1, 2001 have been modified to supply the 5 Vdc signal on pin 4. All units shipped from the factory prior to this date DO NOT provide the 5 Vdc on pin 4. A field modification kit is available and can be purchased for CDM-550 and CDM-600 modems shipped prior to this date.
Note: There is no ON/OFF switch for the CiM-25.
2.3.2 CIM-25 CONNECTORS
There are three connectors located on each CiM-25:
RJ-45 - 10base T Ethernet interface.
DB9 – RS-232 equipment interface (either male or female)
1.3mm – DC Power Jack
The pinout details for these connectors are as follows.

NOTES

3.1 OVERVIEW
Each CiM-25 unit is programmed in the factory to provide a custom proxy interface to Comtech EF Data’s previously defined equipment. This means that a CiM-25/600 that is loaded to interface a CDM-600 Modem to the IP world will not operate with any other piece of Comtech EF Data equipment, unless the personality is changed via a flash upload. However, every CiM-25, independent of personality, shares a large number of common features. For instance, all CiM-25 units provide the same degree of security features, network protocols, and administration features. The following sections will provide a detailed description of all the features available for a specific CiM-25 (i.e., CiM-25/600 with CDM-600 Modem). Those areas that are common to all CiM-25 units will be expounded upon and delineated. The areas that are specific to the individual personality (such as equipment parameter control) will only be briefly covered since these are already covered in detail in the individual equipment operator manuals.
Chapter 3. OPERATION
3.2 ADMINISTRATION AND SECURITY
The CiM-25 has been designed to provide a high degree of administrative flexibility to ensure that each user can configure the device (or network of devices) in a manner that meets his/her security needs. The primary tools provided are the Host Allow List, PING enable/disable, and three (3) level user login. Used as a group, these three tools provide the CiM-25 with a very high degree of security.

CiM-25/600 IP Enabled M&C Rev. 3 SNMP Interface CD/CIM25600.IOM
3.2.1 SECURITY TOOLS
3.2.1.1 U
For the HTTP interfaces the CiM-25 provides three (3) levels of user login. The Telnet interface provides the first two (2) of the following levels. The highest level is the Administrator login. This level allows 100% complete access to all controllable CiM-25 and equipment parameters. The next level of user login is the Read/Write level. This level allows access to all controllable equipment parameters but does not allow access to the administration parameters of the CiM-25 itself. The lowest level of login is the Read Only login. This level allows the user to view, but not change, the equipment parameters. Like the Read/Write level, this level does not allow access to the administration parameters of the CiM-25.
The Name and Password factory defaults for the three levels are:
Administrator Level:
Name: admin Password: 1234
Read/Write Level:
Name: opcenter Password: 1234
Read Only Level:
Name: monitor Password: 1234
SER LOGIN
The SNMP interface uses all three (3) levels of user login utilizing the SNMP v2c (community string) method of security. The community string is the name and password, i.e., admin1234, default admin community string.
3.2.1.2 HOST ALLOW LIST
The CiM-25 provides a high degree of security by allowing the Administrator to define a list of IP addresses to which the CiM-25 will accept/respond to IP datagrams. The Administrator can select up to six (6) individual allowable IP addresses or up to three (3) allowable IP address ranges or any combination of individual and ranges that can be defined by six fields (see Section 3.3, HTTP Interface). The host allow list is applied to all three CiM-25 interfaces (HTTP, SNMP, and Telnet).
3.2.1.3 PING ENABLE/DISABLE
The final piece to the CiM-25 security design is the PING Enable/Disable feature. This feature allows the Administrator to disable PING on an individual CiM-25. This conceals the CiM-25 from most hackers.

3.2.2 NETWORK ADMINISTRATION
The CiM-25 also provides the following network administration facilities:
Configure IP Address, IP Gateway, and IP Mask.
Select Primary and Secondary DNS server IP addresses.
Select SMTP domain Name and IP address.
Select SNMP Trap IP addresses.
