Features:
Software/Firmware Defined Satellite Modem
Comtech utilizes Fully Accessible System Topology (FAST) to allow for local, remote, and/or over the air upgrades. Comtech’s modems are extremely flexible and powerful, and incorporate optional features that can be purchased at the initial order or while in the field. The FAST technology facilitates on-location or over the air upgrade of the operating feature set without the need to physically install or remove hardware. FAST permits the purchase and installation of options through special authorization codes loaded into the unit either via the front panel keypad or entered remotely via the remote port located on the modem rear panel.
Modems Supporting this Feature:
Redundancy
Ultra-high reliability, redundant configurations are supported in conjunction with Comtech EF Data’s CRS-311 and CRS-300 switches. The CRS-311 can be configured to support 1:1 redundancy for any SLM-5650B configuration. The CRS-300 provides the same functionality for 1:N redundant system architectures.
Modems Supporting this Feature:
Network Management / Remote Control
Comtech modems support access to network management information via HTTP and HTTPS using a standard web browser; SNMP and Telnet remote control are also supported. Comtech modems include separate Ethernet and EIA-485/EIA-232 remote control interfaces. Remote control can also be accomplished via the Ethernet ports of the optional Network Processor (where applicable). Secure network management via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Shell (SSH) and SNMPv3 are available as options.
Modems Supporting this Feature:
Expanded Dynamic Range
Several Comtech modems exceed the MIL-STD-188-165A input signal dynamic range requirements by extending the low signal input level requirement of –55 dBm to down to –70 dBm for lower baud rate carriers.
