IP Module Working Modes
Two Working Modes of the IP Module are available: easyConnect
™ and Router Mode.
There are also three HDLC Addressing Modes: Point-to-Point, Small Network, and Large
Network. Separate HDLC Modes allows the user to minimize the HDLC overhead
transmitted over the satellite based upon the size of their network. In Router/Point-to-
Point Mode, no HDLC address is transmitted; Router/Small Network transmits 1 byte
and Router/Large Network transmits 2 bytes as part of HDLC header for each packet.
Non-IP traffic is not supported in Router Mode.
This section describes the functionality of these modes in order to optimize the
Comtech EF Data IP modems in the network, based upon Network Topology and
Ethernet Traffic requirements.

IMPORTANT
The Working Mode and HDLC Address Mode of the Comtech EF Data IP modems
must be identical to pass traffic between modems.

Changing the Working Mode or HDLC address Mode of the IP modem requires the IP
Module to be rebooted. Before the user can select a different mode, the IP Module
will notify the user that changing the mode will require a reboot.
