1.2 Functional Description

Figure 1-2. SLM-5650B Block Diagram

Figure 1-2 depicts the functional block diagram for the SLM-5650B. The modem has been designed to accommodate a wide range of currently required features, and to support both nearand far-term advances in software-defined radio technology as well as advances in FEC technology. It is designed for installation in fixed or mobile Earth Terminal (ET) facilities (sites) using Defense Satellite Com m unicat ions System III (DSCS III), DSCS III/Satellite Life Enhancement Program (SLEP), Wideband Global Satcom (WGS), and commercial satellites.

The user has the ability to:

• Add or change modular data interfaces

• Utilize an extensive array of built-in test capabilities

• Easi l y upgrade the m odem’s operational capabilities in the field

• Easi l y update the modem’s firmware in the field

• Use a wide range of flexible remote control options

As shown in Figure 1-2, the modem accepts signals from a selected digital signal source and modulates either a 70/140 MHz or L-Band Intermediate Frequency (IF) carrier with these signals. The demodulator receives the Rx signal from either the 70/140 MHz or L-Band IF input interf ace, then demodulates the IF carrier. Clock and data are recovered and output on a selected data interface.

The Tx and Rx functions are independent with respect to coding, interleaving, overhead, and scrambling. The modem does not allo w sim plex oper at ion in the 70/ 140 and the L-Band IF interfaces at the same time. The modem allows duplex operation in either one of the two IF interfaces.

1.3.3 Operational Features

1.3.3.1 Operating Modes

The SLM-5650B supports Closed Network, Open Network and OM-73 modes of operation.

1.3.3.1.1 Closed Networks

Closed Networks refer to private networks with modem operational parameters that do not need to interoperate with modems developed for commercial open networks (as specified in accordance with (IAW) Intelsat Earth Station Standards (IESS) -308, IESS-309, and IESS-310 requirements for open network operation).

A Comtech EF Data overhead channel is provided so that the modem is capable of operating in such closed networks over commercial satellites IAW Intelsat requirements for use during closed network operation.

1.3.3.1.2 Open Networks (Intelsat)

Open Networks refer to networks that must meet Intelsat specifications for Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), EIRP stability, spur ious emissions, intermodulation products, adjacent carrier interference, frequency tolerance, equalization, and modem parameters such as modulation, FEC, and scrambling.

The SLM-5650B meets Intelsat certification requirements and is capable of operating in such open networks over commercial satellites (as specified IAW IESS-308, IESS-309, and IESS-310 requirements for open network operation).

The modem supports the overhead framing integral to those modems, in order to be fully compatible with commercial modems complying with IESS-308, IESS-309, and IESS-310.

1.3.3.3.2 10/100/1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet)

Chapter 12. 10/100/1000BASE-T

The optional 10/100/1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet, or GbE) interface performs a simple bridge function and passes IP packets, unaltered, in each direction between the Local Area Network (LAN) (10/100/1000BASE-T interface) and Wide Area Network (WAN) (SLM-5650B modulator/demodulator).

IP packet traffic is framed via High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) encapsulation by the SLM-5650B logic, and the SLM-5650B is both the origination and termination point for HDLC encapsulation. HDLC CRC-16 verification is performed on all received (from WAN) HDLC frames.

(GBE) INTERFACE

1.3.3.3.3 T1/E1, T2/E2, G.703

The optional T1/E 1, T2/E2, G.703 inte rfa ce is designed for full dupl ex capa bility and is auto matical ly configured for simplex transmit or simplex receive operation The interface operates at the digital hierarchy bit rates of 1.544, 2.048, 6.312, and 8.448 Mps as defined by ITU-T G.703.

1.3.3.3.4 Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS)

The optional LVDS interface provides a physical and electrical interface between an SLM-5650B modulator and demodulator and signal sources operating with LVDS electrical characteristics.

1.3.3.3.5 TIA/EIA-530

The native TIA/EIA-530 interface supports the physical layer requirements for TIA/EIA-530. It also supports the TIA/EIA-422 electrical interface specification. This interface operates in duplex from 64 kbps to 20 Mbps.

1.3.3.3.6 TIA/EIA-613 High Speed Serial Interface (HSSI)

The native TIA/EIA-613 interface supports the physical layer requirements for TIA/EIA-613. It also supports the TIA/EIA-612 electrical interface specification. This interface operates in duplex from 64 kbps to 51.84 Mbps.

Introduction 1–9 MN-SLM-5650B

SLM-5650B Satellite Modem Revision 2

1.3.3.4 Independent Tx and Rx Function

The Tx (modulator) and Rx (demodulator) sides of the modem are functionally independent and separately controllable. The baseband Tx and Rx sides of a communications channel passing through the modem are independently configurable, including the ability to select different parameters (to include data rate, modulation, and coding) in support of asymmetrical operation.

Data interfaces and IF interfaces are not independent.

Example:

If the TIA/EIA-530 interface is selected, DO NOT USE TIA/EIA-530 to transmit and a HSSI interface to receive. The same principle applies to the IF interfaces: If 70/140 is selected, DO NOT USE 70/140 to transmit and the L-Band interface to receive.

1.3.3.5 Verification

The SLM-5650B includes test modes and loopbacks for rapid verification of the correct functioning of the modem. Of particular note is the IF loopback, which permits the user to perform a quick diagnostic test without having to disturb external cabling. During the loopback, the receive frequency is temporarily changed to match that of the Tx side, and an internal Radio Frequency (RF) switch connects the modulator output to the demodulator input. When normal operation is again selected, all of the previous values are restored.

1.3.3.6 Updating Modem Firmware

Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE

The SLM-5650B stores its firmware in flash memory, which allows the modem to upload firmware downloads from an external PC once Ethernet connectivity has been established. Firmware updates for the Base Modem and NP Interface Module may be obtained free from Comtech EF Data via the CEFD Web site or via e-mail from Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours.

TRANSEC Module firmware updates must be requested directly from Comtech EF Data Customer Support.

Introduction 1–10 MN-SLM-5650B

SLM-5650B Satellite Modem Revision 2

1.3.3.7 Fully Accessible System Topology (FAST)

The SLM-5650B Satellite Modem 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 functionality of a unit, Comtech EF Data provides 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 the front panel keypad.

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.

FAST Implementation

Comtech EF Data’s FAST system is factory-implemented in the modem. 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 FAST Access Code through the front panel keypad, and then by setting the desired operational parameters via the front panel, remote control, or Web Server interfaces.

FAST Accessible Options

SLM-5650B 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 FAST Access Code that is purchased from Comtech EF Data enables configuration of the available hardware.

The following table shows the FAST-accessible hardware and FAST options available for the SLM-5650B.

Check the packing list to ensure the shipment is complete.

Inspect the equipment for any possible damage incurred during shipment.

Read the manual.

Revision 2

The equipment contains parts and assemblies sensitive to damage by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Use ESD precautionary procedures when touching, removing, or inserting PCBs.

Step Task

Keep all shipping materials for storage or reshipment.

Contact the carrier and Comtech EF Data immediately and submit a damage report if damage is evident to the shipment.

2.2 Installation

When installing the SLM-5650B into a rack enclosure (Figure 2-2): 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-mounted fans or blowers.

Make sure there is adequate clearance inside the enclosure, especially at the sides for air ventilation.

Air temperature inside the rack enclosure should never exceed 50°C (122°F). For information about custom rack enclosures, contact Comtech EF Data Custom er

Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE

4.1 Updating Firmware via Internet

To ensure optimal performance, it is importan t to o perate the SLM-5650B with its latest available firmware.

The modem must be in the Low Security mode (SNMP Type = SNMPV1V2c) in order to update firmware.

The SLM-5650B Satellite Modem stores its firmware internally in flash memory, which simplifies the firmware updating process. The firmware update, once acquired, can be transferred from an external user PC once Ethernet connectivity has been established with the modem.

FAST codes are retained after a firmware upgrade and do not need to be reentered. The modem configuration is also retained.

This chapter outlines the complete firmware updating process as follows:

• Perform the update, without opening the SLM-5650B, by connecting the unit to the Ethernet port of the user PC.

• Download the firmware update via the Internet to the user PC.

• Transfer the firmware update, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), from the user PC to the

SLM-5650B automatically if using the optional Network Processor (NP) or TRANSEC modules’ Web Server Interfaces.

4.1.1 About Firmware Files, Naming, Versions, and Archive Formats

The SLM-5650B is factory-shipped with the latest version of operating firmware. If a firmware update is needed, it can be acquired by download from Comtech EF Data’s website, as shown in Section 4.1.2, or from Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours via email or on CD by standard mail delivery.

Figure 4-1. Firmware Naming Format

Comtech EF Data’s Web site catalogues its firmware update files b y product t ype (e.g., modem, converter, etc.) and specific model/optional configuration. The hyperlinks appear as per the example to the right. In this example, the F0021022x_V### Base Modem firmware download hyperlink is shown, where ‘x’ denotes the revision letter and ### represents the firmware version. If applicable, one version prior to the current release is also available for download.

In addition to the download for the Base Modem bulk firmware, downloads are available for the SLM-5650B’s optional Network Processor (NP) module. This module requires a separate firmware update.

To obtain the firmware update for the TRANSEC Module, contact Network Product Customer Support.

The firmware download files are available from Comtech EF Data in two archive file formats: *.exe (self extracting) and *.zip (compressed). Some firewalls will not allow the downloading of *.exe files; in this case, download the *.zip file instead. For additional help with "zipped" file types, refer to PKZIP for Windows, WinZip, or ZipCentral help files. PKZIP for DOS is not supported due to file naming conventions.

5.1.3 Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)

Figure 5-4. Vacuum Fluorescent Display

The SLM-5650B featur es a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). The VFD is an active display showing two lines of 40 characters each. It produces a blue light, the brightness of which can be controlled by the User. Compared to a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), it has superior viewing characteristics and does not suffer problems of viewing angle or contrast.

On most menu screens, a flashing solid block cursor blinks at a once-per-second rate. This indicates the currently selected item, digit, or field. Where it might obscure the item being edited (e.g., a numeric field), the solid block cursor automatically changes to an underline cursor.

If the operating unit is left displaying the same screen for weeks at a time, the VFD could become burnt with this image. To prevent such burn-in, a screen saver feature activates after 15 minutes. The screen saver message loops from right to left across the screen.

5.1.3.2 Opening Screen

The front panel menu screens provide the visual means to fully control and monitor operation of the SLM-5650B. The first screen to display, after the modem power switch is turned on, is the read-only opening screen:
