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.

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.
