COMTECH EF DATA STRONGLY ENCOURAGES USE OF THE CDD-880 AND CDM-840
HTTP INTERFACES FOR MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C) OF THE CDD-880 OR
CDM-840.
THE HTTP INTERFACE FIGURES FEATURED THROUGHOUT THIS APPENDIX ARE
INTENDED FOR USER REFERENCE ONLY AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE
FIRMWARE INFORMATION (I.E., REVISION LETTERS, VERSION NUMBERS, ETC.) AS
DISPLAYED MAY DIFFER FROM YOUR SETUP.

•
YOU HAVE CONNECTED THE CDD-880 TO A USER-SUPPLIED, WINDOWS-BASED PC
AS FOLLOWS:
O
THE PC SERIAL PORT IS CONNECTED TO THE CDD-880 REAR PANEL ‘CONSOLE’

O
THE PC ETHERNET PORT IS CONNECTED TO THE CDD-880 REAR PANEL
‘ETHERNET | TRAFFIC/MANAGEMENT | GE’ ETHERNET M&C PORT WITH A
USER-SUPPLIED HUB, SWITCH, OR DIRECT ETHERNET CABLE CONNECTION.
O
THE USER PC IS RUNNING A TERMINAL EMULATION PROGRAM (FOR
OPERATION OF THE CDD-880 SERIAL INTERFACE) AND A COMPATIBLE WEB

Figure G-9 shows the CDD-880 and CDM-840 HTTP Interface “splash” pages, and the menu tree
diagrams for accessing DPC operation. Page functionality not specific to DPC operation appears
dimmed in these diagrams.
Dynamic Power Control and ACM work independent of one another. This gives you the option to
run DPC with or without ACM. This section assumes all other operational parameters have been
previously configured.
