Chapter 6. FAST ACTIVATION
PROCEDURE
6.1 FAST System Overview
The CDD-56xA/L Multi-Channel Demodulator incorporates a number of optional features. In order to
permit a lower initial cost, the unit may be purchased with only the desired features enabled. If, at a later
date, the user wishes to upgrade the functionality of a unit, Comtech EF Data provides Fully Accessible
System Topology (FAST), a technology which permits the purchase and installation of options through
special authorization codes.
FAST Access Codes are unique authorization codes that may be purchased from Comtech EF Data, and
then activated in the unit using either the HTTP (Web Server) Interface or the Command Line Interface.
Contact a Comtech EF Data sales representative during normal business hours, or via e-mail to
sales@comtechefdata.com , to order the desired options.
6.1.1 FAST System Theory
FAST allows an operator to order a unit precisely tailored for the initial application. When service
requirements change, FAST allows the operator to upgrade the topology of the unit on-location, within
minutes, and without having to remove the unit from the setup. This accelerated upgrade is possible due
to FAST’s extensive use of the programmable logic devices incorporated into Comtech EF Data products.
6.1.2 FAST Implementation
Comtech EF Data’s FAST system is factory-implemented in the demodulator. All FAST options are
available through the basic platform unit at the time of order. FAST allows immediate activation of
available options – first, upon entry of the register-specific FAST Access Code, and then by setting the
desired operational parameters using the HTTP Interface or the CLI.
6.1.3 FAST Accessible Options
Hardware options can be ordered and installed either at the factory or in the field. In the field, the operator
can select options that can be easily activated, depending on the current hardware configuration of the
unit. The unique, register-specific FAST Access Code that is purchased from Comtech EF Data enables
configuration of the available hardware.
