2. Enter R at the command prompt to toggle the Unit Role to either Hub or
Remote.
This parameter will determine the role the target CDD-56X will perform in
the network and what type of commands and functions it will receive from
the VMS.
3. Enter E to set the Expansion Unit value to either Yes or No.
When configured as an Expansion unit, either as a Hub (switched) or as a
Remote (mesh), the CDD-56X is set up so that all Demods are in SCPC
mode and available as resources for dedicated communications with the
other end of the satellite link.
4. Enter B at the command prompt to set the Network ID.
The Network ID that is assigned to the unit defines to what network the
target CDD-56X will belong. All units used in a network will have the
same Network ID. This parameter is used by the VMS to identify units
common to a network and allows the VMS to manage multiple networks,
each with its own unique network ID number.
5. Enter N at the command prompt to set the Unit Name.
6. Enter V at the command prompt to set the Receive Multicast Address.
This IP address is the multicast address assigned to the VMS and to all
units in the network that are managed by the VMS. The Receive Multicast
Address of this CDD-56X must match the Transmit Multicast Address that
has been assigned to the VMS.
