IntroductionSNM-1001 Network Control Modem
Using digital signal processing techniques, it functions as the network control channel
modem for Comtech EFData’s Bandwidth-on-Demand (BOD) Multimedia Integrated
Digital Access System (MIDAS).
Features of the SNM-1001 include the following:
• Fully integrated master control mode functionality
The SNM-1001 is an integral component of the MIDAS Network Management System
(NMS), providing the control channel communication path between the NMS and the
remote nodes.
The NMS transmits commands to the remote nodes through the SNM-1001, using a
continuous, TDM, outbound carrier. The remote nodes send requests and status messages
to the NMS using the slotted ALOHA burst inbound channel. This inbound channel
technology allows multiple remote nodes to share a single inbound carrier.
A typical NMS configuration is shown in Figure 1-2. A typical network control channel
configuration is shown in Figure 1-3.

4.1.2 Theory of Operation
The modulator is composed of two basic sections: the baseband processing section and
the RF section. The modem M&C controls all programmable functions in both sections.
Data to be transmitted will come from the interface card via the demodulator. The format
is EIA-422, and includes a clock that is synchronous with the data. The data signal at this
point is clean and free of jitter. The data signal goes to the scrambler, which provides
energy dispersal. It then goes to a differential encoder. The data signal passes to the
Viterbi K = 7 convolutional encoder.
The output of the encoder generates two separate data streams to drive the I&Q channels
of the modulator. If selected from the front panel menu, one channel can be inverted,
causing a spectral inversion.
Rev. 14–3
Theory of OperationSNM-1001 Network Control Modem
From the encoder, the data signal passes through a set of variable-rate digital Nyquist
filters. The filter set is for Comtech EFData Closed Network. There are activity detectors
on both the I&Q channel Nyquist filters.
The digital Nyquist filters are followed by Digital to Analog (D/A) converters and
reconstruction filters. These filters provide proper spectral shaping and equalization. The
filters are under control of the M&C. The symbol rate is 19.2 ks/s.
The I&Q filtered data signals are applied to the RF modulator, which converts them to a
modulated carrier. The spectral shape will be identical to that of the input data streams,
but double-sided about the carrier frequency.
The RF synthesizer provides the proper frequencies to convert the modulator IF to the
desired output frequency in the 50 to 180 MHz range. The synthesizer has multiple
loops, and incorporates a DDS chip to accommodate 100 Hz steps over a range of 130
MHz. The RF section has a frequency stability of
±
1 x 10-5.
The signal from the power combiner is sent to the output amplifier, which amplifies the
low level signal from the modulator section to the proper level for output from the
module. The amplifier contains circuitry that provides programmable control of the
output level over a range of -5.0 to -30.0 dBm, in 0.1 dB steps. Power leveling is
provided at
±
1.0 dB to maintain the stability of the output level over time and
temperature.
Fault information from the modulator is sent to the M&C, and includes:
•Synthesizers out-of-lock
•RF output leveled
•Input data clock activity
•I channel digital filter activity
•Q channel digital filter activity

4.2 Demodulator
The modem demodulator converts a QPSK modulated signal of 50 to 180 MHz to a
demodulated baseband data stream. The demodulator then performs error correction on
the data stream, using a Viterbi decoding algorithm.
A block diagram of the demodulator is shown in Figure 4-2.
Demodulator jumper settings for selecting ROM size are listed in Table 4-1.

4.2.2 Theory of Operation
The demodulator card functions as an advanced, fully digital, coherent phase-lock
receiver, and a Viterbi or Sequential decoder.
The following subsections make up the demodulator:
•RF synthesizer
•IF amplifier
•Quadrature demodulator
•Identical anti-aliasing filters
•D/A converters
•Digital Nyquist filters
•Costas loop
•Clock loop
•Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
•Automatic Offset Control (AOC)
•Unique word detector
•Ambiguity resolver
•Soft-decision decoder
•Synchronous descrambler
•End of message detector
The modulated signal enters the RF module, where it is converted from an IF signal at 50
to 180 MHz to I&Q baseband channels. The synthesizer has multiple loops, and
incorporates a DDS chip to accommodate 100 Hz steps over a range of 130 MHz. The
RF section has a frequency stability of
±
1 x 10-5.
The two channels are then passed through identical anti-aliasing filters, D/A converters,
and digital Nyquist filters.
4–6Rev. 1
SNM-1001 Network Control ModemTheory of Operation
The result is a filtered, digital representation of the received signal. A Costas loop
maintains the phase lock during the message. A phase-lock loop maintains the data clock.
The soft-decision mapper converts the I&Q samples to soft-decision values. The
soft-decision values are then fed to the Viterbi decoder, where error detection and
correction are performed.
The I&Q channels are also used to calculate the AGC and AOC voltages. The AGC and
AOC are fed back to the RF module.
Finally, the data from the output of the Viterbi decoder is descrambled with a 2
15
-1
synchronous descrambler, and routed to the interface card. There also is a summary fault
relay that provides a FORM C output located on the demodulator board.
The data clock phase can be selected from the Interface Utility menu.
Using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques, the demodulator looks for carrier
power in an 8 kHz bandwidth. When a carrier is detected, the DSP calculates the offset
from the nominal frequency. The DSP then zeros out the offset. This occurs during the
CW portion of the preamble sequence. During the second part of the preamble sequence,
the clock phase is recovered. When the unique word is detected, the Demod determines
the ambiguity of the received signal. It then corrects the ambiguity, if necessary, and
starts feeding data to the Viterbi decoder. A delay generator determines when the first bit
of the data packet comes out of the Viterbi decoder, and initiates the synchronous load of
15
the 2
-1 synchronous descrambler. After the descrambler starts the lock, the RR lines are
set to true, denoting that valid data is being received. The demodulator, when locked,
continually monitors the incoming data for the end-of-message marker. When the
end-of-message marker is detected, a delay generator determines when the remaining
data has been flushed out of the modem, and the Lock and RR line is set to false.
Note:
The data packet must not be less than 48 bits of data. There is no maximum length
for the data packet.
4.2.3 Viterbi Decoding Theory
The Viterbi decoder is used in open-network applications, typically in Intelsat Business
Service (IBS) or Intermediate Data Rate (IDR) communication systems. The Viterbi
decoder operates in conjunction with the convolutional encoder in the transmit modem.
The Viterbi decoder and convolutional encoder correct the transmission channel errors in
the received data stream.
Figure 4-3 is a block diagram of the Viterbi decoder.

Figure 4-3. Viterbi Decoder Block Diagram
The Viterbi decoder processes 3-bit quantized R0 and R1 parallel code bits (symbols)
from the demodulator. The quantization is 3-bit soft-decision in sign/magnitude format.
This is a representation of the data transmitted, corrupted by additive white Gaussian
noise. The decoder uses the code symbols produced by the encoder to determine which
symbols have been corrupted by the transmission channel. The decoder corrects as many
corrupted symbols as possible.
The data signal passes through an ambiguity resolver, which compensates for the
potential 90° phase ambiguity inherent in a QPSK demodulator.
A set of branch metric values is then computed for each of the received symbol pairs.
The values are related to the probability that the received symbol pair was actually
transmitted as one of the four possible symbol pairs. The branch metrics are then
processed by the Add-Select-Compare (ASC) computer.
The ASC computer makes decisions about the most probable transmitted symbol stream
by processing the current branch metrics with the state metrics computed for the 64
previous decoder inputs. The results of the ASC computer are stored in memory called
“path memory.”
4–8Rev. 1
SNM-1001 Network Control ModemTheory of Operation
Path memory is 80 states in depth. The path with the maximum metric is designated as
the survivor path, and its data are used for output. The difference between the minimum
and the maximum path metrics is used as the means of determining synchronization of
the decoder.
The output data may then be descrambled and differentially decoded. Both of these
processes are optional, and may be selected locally or remotely. The data signal out of
the differential decoder is sent to the interface card for formatting and output.
The synchronization signal is used for lock detect, and is sent to the M&C. The raw BER
count is generated from re-encoding the decoded data and comparing it to a delayed
version of the input data. The count is then sent to the M&C for further processing.
4.3 Monitor and Control
The modem uses a sophisticated micro-controller module to perform the M&C functions
of the modem. This module is located on the demodulator board, and is referred to as the
“M&C.” The M&C monitors the modem and provides configuration updates to other
modules within the modem when necessary.
The modem configuration parameters are maintained in battery-backed RAM. The RAM
provides for total recovery after a power-down situation.
Extensive fault monitoring and status gathering are provided.
All modem functions are accessible through a remote communications interface.
4.3.1 Non-Volatile Memory
Non-volatile memory on the M&C module allows it to retain configuration information
without prime power for at least one year. Should the modem be powered down, the
following sequence is carried out when power is re-applied to the M&C:
1. The micro-controller checks the non-volatile memory RAM to see if valid data
has been retained. If valid data has been retained, the modem is reconfigured to
that information.
2. If non-volatile memory fails the valid data test, a default configuration from
ROM is loaded into the system.
Rev. 14–9

4.3.2 Remote Interface Specification
Refer to Appendix A for the remote interface specification.
4.3.3 M&C Theory of Operation
The M&C module is built around the Intel 80C32 micro-controller, operating at
11.0592 MHz. The microsystem is designed to support up to 512 kbytes of read-only
code memory, and up to 32 kbytes of non-volatile random-access data memory.
4.3.4 Remote Interface Configuration
All modem functions can be remotely controlled and monitored via an EIA-232-C
communications link. The EIA-232-C interface is used to communicate with a single
modem.
For M&C jumper settings, refer to Table 4-1.
4.3.5 Modem Defaults

4.4 Digital Interfaces
The modem interface module is a daughter card that plugs onto the demodulator board.
The module provides the interface for terrestrial data and overhead signals, and the fault
reporting output of the modem.
EIA-422/449 and EIA-232-C interfaces are available for input and output of terrestrial
data when the modem is in the Continuous mode. Both baseband and interface loopbacks
are provided. The terrestrial data rate is 19.2 kbit/s.
4.4.1 EIA-422/449 Interface
4.4.1.1 Functional Description
The EIA-422/449 digital interface provides the level translation, buffering, and
termination between the internal modem signals and the EIA-422/449 interface on the
rear panel.
Electrical characteristics of the EIA-422/449 interface signals are defined in EIA STD
EIA-422. Details of the mechanical interface are found in EIA STD EIA
-
449.
A functional diagram of the interface is shown in Figure 4-4.
The EIA-422/449 interface provides a Send Timing (ST) clock signal at the modem data
rate.
•In the Internal Clock mode, the data to be transmitted, Send Data (SD), must be
synchronized to ST.
•In the External Clock mode, the clock is accepted on the Terminal Timing (TT)
input to clock-in the data to be transmitted.
•In either Internal or External Clock mode, the phase relationship between the
clock and data is not important as long as it meets the EIA-422/449 jitter
specifications.

Data received by the modem is output on the Received Data (RD) lines, while the
recovered clock is output on the Receive Timing (RT) lines.
For applications that require the rising edge of the clock to occur in the middle of the
data bit time, receive clock Normal mode should be selected.
Invert mode puts the falling edge of RT in the middle of the data bit. This selection can
be made from the front panel in the Configuration menu or from a remote terminal.
Rev. 14–13

The Request To Send (RTS) lines are hardwired by JP11 to the Clear To Send (CTS)
lines on the Demod/M&C card (AS/4973-2) for Continuous mode operation.
The RTS line is activated for Burst mode by jumping pins 1 and 2 on JP11.
Data Mode (DM) indicates that the modem is powered up.
Receiver Ready (RR) indicates that an RF carrier is being received and demodulated
with a sufficiently low error rate for the decoder to remain locked.
The EIA-422/449 interface also provides bi-directional relay loopback of both the clock
and data at the DCE interface.
•In loopback from the DTE side, SD is connected to RD, and either ST or TT
(in Internal or External mode) is looped back to RT.
•From the modem side, the received data and recovered clock are routed back to
the modulator input for retransmission.
The Common Equipment, Modulator, and Demodulator fault outputs are provided on dry
contact FORM C relays. They are available on the Fault connector on the modem rear
panel.
Fault indicators are also provided on Transistor/Transistor Logic (TTL) open collector
drivers on the EIA-422/449 connector.
•The TTL MOD fault indicates a Modulator or Common Equipment fault.
•The TTL DEMOD fault indicates a Demodulator or Common Equipment fault.

5.2 Fault Isolation
The modem has been designed so that a qualified technician may isolate fault conditions
without removing the modem from its location. The fault monitoring capability of the
modem is designed to aid the operator in determining the cause of a failure.
System faults are reported in the Fault menu. Stored faults are reported in the StFaults
menu. The following list is to be used in isolating the problem and deciding the
appropriate action to be taken. Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5 are diagrams of the SNM-1001
fault tree in the Burst mode and Continuous mode, respectively.
IF SYNTHESIZERModulator IF synthesizer is faulted.
This is considered a major alarm and will turn OFF the modulator output.
Return the modem for repair.
DATA CL O CK SY NTransmit data clock sy nthe s iz e r fault.
This fault is an indication that the inte rnal cloc k VCO ha s not lock e d to the
incoming data cloc k , or the inte rna l c loc k s ynthesizer has not loc k e d to the
internal reference. T his is conside re d a major alarm and w ill turn OFF the
modulator output.
Check to see that the proper data rate has been set up and selected. Verify that
the incoming data rate matches what has been selected in the modem. Verify
the frequency of the input data clock to be within the lock range of 100 PPM.
If the inputs to the modem are all correct and the proble m still exists, replace
the modem and return for repair.
I CHANNELActivity alarm for the I channel digital filter.
This alarm is cons ide re d a major alarm and will turn OFF the modulator IF
output.
An alarm in this position indicate s e ithe r a f a ult in the scra mbler or, if the

If the fault is active w ith the sc ra mbler turned ON, the problem could be in
the modulator section. R e turn the modem for re pair .
Q CHANNELActivity alarm for the Q channe l dig ital filter.
Follow the same procedure as for the I channel.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
A
This appendix describes the remote control operation of the SNM-1001.
•Firmware number:FW/4969-1L and FW/4969-2L
•Software version:15.7.7
The -2 version is the PLCC (Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier) version, applicable to the
SDM-100A and -150A.
The -1 version is the 28-pin DIP version, applicable to the SDM-100 and -150.
Rev. 1A–1
Remote Control OperationSNM-1001 Network Control Modem
A.1 General
Remote controls and status information are transferred via an EI A485 (optional EI A232C)
serial communications link.
Commands and data are transferred on the remote control com munications link as
US ASCII-encoded character strings.
The remote communications link is operated in a half- duplex m ode.
Communications on the rem ote link are initiated by a rem o te controller or term inal. The
modem never transm its data on the link unless it is commanded to do so.
Since the SNM-1001 operates in both Burst and Continuous modes, command and
command parameter selection will be dependent upon whether the Transmit Mode has
been configured as Burst or Continuous, and whether the Receive Mode has been
configured as Burst or Continuous. The SNM-1001 modem will default to Transmit
Burst, Receive Burst modes after a cold startup, or when a hard reset has been initiated.
A–2Rev. 1
SNM-1001 Network Control ModemRemote Control Operation
A.2 Message Structure
The ASCII character form at used requires 11 bits/character:
•1 start bit
•7 information bits
•1 parity bit
•2 stop bits
Messages on the remote link fall into the categories of commands and responses.
Commands are m essag es w hich are transmitted to a satellite modem, while responses are
messages returned by a satellite m odem in response to a com mand.
The general message structure is as follows:
•Start Character
•Device Address
•Command/Response
•End of Message Character
A.2.1 Start Character
A single character precedes all messages transmitted on the remote link. This character
flags the start of a message. This character is:
“<”
•
•
for commands
“>”
for responses
A.2.2 Device Address
The device address is the address of the one satellite modem which is designated to receiv e
a transmitted command, or w hich is responding to a com m and.
Valid device addresses are 1 to 3 characters long, and in the range of 1 to 255. Address 0 is
reserved as a global address which simultaneously addresses all dev ices on a g iv en
communications link. Devices do not acknowledge global commands.
Each satellite modem which is connected to a com mon remote comm unications link must
be assigned its own unique address. Addresses are software selectable at the modem, and
must be in the range of 1 to 255.
Rev. 1A–3
Remote Control OperationSNM-1001 Network Control Modem
A.2.3 Command/Response
The command/response portion of the messag e contains a v ariable-length character
sequence which conveys command and response data.
If a satellite modem receiv es a message addressed to it which does not match the
established protocol or cannot be implemented, a negativ e acknowledg ment message is sent
in response. This message is:
add/?ER1_parity error'cr''lf']
•>
(Error message for received parity errors.)
>add/?ER2_invalid parameter'cr''lf']
•
(Error message for a recognized command which cannot be implemented or has parameters
which are out of range.)
add/?ER3_unrecognizable command'cr''lf']
•>
(Error message for unrecognizable command or bad command syntax.)
>add/?ER4_modem in local mode'cr''lf']
•
(Modem in local error; send the REM command to go to remote mode.)
>add/?ER5_hard coded parameter'cr'' lf']
•
(Error message indicating that the parameter is hardware dependent and may not be changed
remotely.)
Note:
add is used to indicate a valid 1 to 3 character device address in the range
between 1 and 255.
A.2.4 End Character
Each message is ended with a single character which sig n als the end of the m essag e:
“cr”
•
“]”
•
Carriage return character for commands
End bracket for responses

This command c onf i gures the modem for rem ote operation.
The SDM100A will respond to any status request at any time.
However, the SDM100A must be in 'Rem ote Mode' to change
configuration parameters .
This command is used to clear all stored faults logged by the
SDM100A.
Where: xxxxxxx = TX_ON LY, RX_ONLY, or D UPLEX.
This command configures the modem for simplex or duplex
operation modes. When transmit only mode is selected
receive faults are inhibited and when receive only mode is
selected transmi t faults are inhibited.
Where: xxx = ON or OFF.
This command configures the modem for t he RTS TX-IF
control mode. If "ON" is selec ted, the TX-IF output will only be
turned on if the incoming RTS signal is asserted (also t he TXIF output has to be programmed ON and no major modulator
faults are present). If " OFF" i s selected, the TX-IF output will
operate normal ignoring the RTS si gnal .

This command causes bulk modem s tatus to be returned.
To reduce the length of the response, message parameter
data are returned without identifiers. However, parameter
identification can be det ermined by order of return. Each
status parameter is terminated with a ',' (c omma) except for
the last parameter which has the standard message
termination sequence ('cr''lf']). Most of t he data returned is
formatted the same way as the single command status
request (refer to the appropriate portions of this document i n
preceding sections).

A.5 Stored Faults
Information on stored faults is returned when requested. If no stored fault exists for a
given fault number, the words “NO Fault” will be returned instead of the normal
time/date status information.
The following symbols are commonly used to define the stored faults status commands:
•#Fault number (0 to 9). “0” is the first fault stored.
•hhHours in 24-hr. format.
•mmMinutes.
•ssSeconds.
•MMMonth.
•DDDay.
•YYYear.
