Initial Configuration
Note: Many of the settings required for equipment configuration are based on
the LAN/WAN and Satellite network design, and should be obtained from
the network administrator.
Terminal Connection
These procedures are performed using the CLI from a workstation connected to
the modem/router either via a direct connection to the Console port (a console
cable is shipped with each unit), or via a telnet connection to the Traffic 100
port. Alternatively, HyperTerminal or any of the other connection methods
described in the CDM-570/570L Installation and Operation Manual may be
used.
Make a terminal connection to the target CDM-570/570L modem/router. If
connecting via the Traffic 100 Ethernet port (do not use the M&C port), enter
the IP address of the unit. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1 . Config-
ure the terminal for VT-100 emulation mode. Once a terminal connection has
been made, the CDM-570/570L will respond with a Login prompt. The factory
defaults are:
Login: comtech
Password: comtech
Once the operator has logged in, the Main Menu shown in figure 2-1 is
displayed.
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 3-35 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.
