3.21 DMD1050TS ID Codes (Feature Upgrades)
The modem has unique ID codes that allow you to add feature upgrades to the modem without
returning the unit to the factory.
You must use these ID codes when you want additional features added to a unit. After purchase,
Comtech supplies a new ID code that must be entered in the ID code field. Once the new ID code
is entered, the modem activates the new features.
3.22 Strap Codes
The Strap Code is a quick set key that sets many of the modem parameters. For quick setup of
the DMD1050TS, Strap Codes are very helpful. When a Strap Code is entered, the modem is
configured automatically for the code’s corresponding data rate, overhead, code rate, framing,
scrambler type and modulation.
Example of how to set a Strap Code:
1. On the Web interface Modulator Menu , click the Transmit tab.
2. Click General .
3. Find Strap Code .
4. Click inside the box, and go to the New Strap Code submenu.
5. Enter 16 .
The DMD1050TS is configured automatically to the parameters for Strap Code 16.
See Appendix G for the Strap Code options.
