Initial Configuration
Network Role
The first and most important step prior to configuring the CDM-570/570L is to
define its network role.
The CDM-570/570L is a flexible network component able to perform different
functions depending on how it is used in a network. The role that is defined for
each CDM-570/570L will determine what functions are available for each unit
to fill its role. Refer to the section “Unit Role” on page 3-43 for details on
setting a CDM-570/570L’s network role. Table 2-1 lists the network roles and
the corresponding network functions for which the CDM-570/570L can be
configured.
