CDD-562L/564 Demodulator with IP Module Revision 2
Introduction MN/CDD564L.IOM
1–10
1.3.6 Data Interfaces
The demodulators include, as standard, a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port that serves as both a
terrestrial data (i.e., IP traffic) interface and a management and control interface (i.e., the HTTP
Web Server Interface).
1.3.7 Updating Demodulator Firmware
Chapter 5. UPDATING FIRMWARE
The demodulators store theirs firmware internally in flash memory, which simplifies the firmware
updating process. If a firmware update is needed, it can be acquired by download from Comtech
EF Data’s Web site or from Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours
via e-mail or on CD by standard mail delivery.
The firmware update, once acquired, can be transferred from an external user PC that is
connected to the unit 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. Once connectivity has been established with the
demodulator, the upgrade can be performed by "FTPing" the download from the PC.
1.3.8 Fully Accessible System Topology (FAST)
Appendix A. FAST ACTIVATION PROCEDURE
The demodulators incorporate a large number of optional features. In order to permit a lower initial
cost, a demodulator 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
F ully A ccessible
S ystem T opology ( FAST ), a technology which permits the purchase and installation of options
through special authorization codes. These unique Fast Access Codes may be purchased from
Comtech EF Data during normal business hours, and then loaded into the unit using either the
serial/Telnet CLI (connected to the rear panel “Remote control” port) or the unit’s Web Server
(HTTP) Interface.
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.
FAST Implementation
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
