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 the uses of 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 of watt 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.
Unpacking and Inspection 3
Configuration 3
Connecting CiM-25 To Equipment 4
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 RS232 is chosen while other equipment require 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
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. Each is defined below:
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 provided below.

Each CiM-25 unit is programmed in the factory to provide a custom proxy interface to
one of Comtech EF Data’s previously defined equipments. This means that a CiM25/9000 that is loaded to interface a SDM-9000 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-25/9000 with SDM-9000 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 (i.e. equipment parameter control) will only be briefly covered since these are
already covered in detail in the individual equipment operator manuals.
3.2 ADMINISTRATION AND SECURITY
The CiM-25 has been designed to provide a high degree of administrative flexibility to
insure that each customer 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. Each of these tools is described
in more detail below:

Operation CD/CIM259000.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 CiM25 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. As the name implies, 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 level defined above are:
Administrator Level:
Read/Write Level:
Read Only Level:
SER LOGIN
Name: admin
Password: 1234
Name: opcenter
Password: 1234
Name: monitor
Password: 1234
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 concatenation of
IMPORTANT
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 HTTP interface below for further details). 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 in effect
conceals the CiM-25 from most hackers.
3.2.2 NETWORK ADMINISTRATION
In addition to the three items described above under Security, the CiM-25 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 address and SNMP Trap Community.
