SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Configuration 3.2 Revision 2 MN/SLM5650.IOM Clocking Options Clocking of the data from the terrestrial equipment to the satellite (and vice versa) will depend on the application. This section describes the most common options and recommended configurations. SCT (INTERNAL) clock no longer applies when the modem has loop timing on. The TX clock source is now recovered from the RX satellite data.

SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Configuration 3.3 Revision 2 MN/SLM5650.IOM Buffering The purpose of a receive buffer is two reasons: • • Plesiochronous buffering of two dissimilar clock frequencies (normally the far end transmit clock verses the local network clock). The clocks may be very close in frequency to each other and will normally slip at a constant rate. Figure 3-3 shows plesiochronous operation for dissimilar clocks. If incoming traffic is too fast, an occasional bit will be lost.

SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Configuration Revision 2 MN/SLM5650.IOM SATELLITE MOTION AND ORBITAL INCLINATION N A GEO-SYNCHRONOUS INCLINED ORBIT GEO-SYNCHRONOUS EQUATORIAL ORBIT A SATELLITE IS MAINTAINED AT AN ASSIGNED GEOSTATIONARY LOCATION THROUGH THE USE OF GROUND COMMAND ADJUSTMENTS TO ITS N/S AND E/W LOCATION. THIS SATELLITE PROCESS, KNOWN AS SATELLITE NOMINAL STATION-KEEPING, IS USED TO KEEP POSITION THE SATELLITE DRIFT WITHIN CERTAIN BOUNDARIES.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Configuration Revision 2 MN/SLM5650.IOM 3.3.1 Buffer Size The depth of the receive buffer will depend on four parameters: • • • • 3.4 Doppler shift caused by satellite Stability of each clock (plesiochronous/Doppler operation) Frame/Multiframe length of multiplexed data format Allowable time between clock slips Doppler A geostationary satellite should be positioned directly over the equator and orbit with duration of 24 hours.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Configuration 3.5 Revision 2 MN/SLM5650.IOM Plesiochronous The stability of station reference clocks is normally 1 x 10-12 (derived from a cesium standard). While the stability is exceptionally high, the two clocks are not in synchronization with each other and will eventually pass by each other. The clock used for the transmit signal is passed over the satellite, but will not be used at the receive earth station where a national network derives its time locally.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Configuration 3.6 Revision 2 MN/SLM5650.IOM Frame/Multiframe Length The depth of the receive buffer required is applicable to all unframed data. When the data is framed (such as 2048 kbps G732 or 1544 kbps G733), it is desirable to provide slips in predefined locations. The advantage of organized slip locations (in relation to the frame) is that multiplexing equipment does not lose sync and outages on any channel are kept to a minimum.

Appendix A. OPTIONS A.1 Forward Error Correction Options As standard, the SLM-5650 Modem is equipped with three Forward Error Correction encoders/decoders – Viterbi, concatenated Reed-Solomon, and Trellis (which is available with the 8-PSK FAST option). The constraint lengths and encoding polynomials are not only Open Network compatible, but are also Closed Network compatible with the vast majority of existing modems from other manufacturers.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Options A.2 Revision 1 MN/SLM5650.IOM Viterbi The combination of convolutional coding and Viterbi decoding has become an almost universal standard for satellite communications. The SLM-5650 complies with the Intelsat IESS 308 and 309 standards for Viterbi decoding with a constraint length of seven. This is a de facto standard, which means inter-operability with other manufacturer’s equipment.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Options A.3 Revision 1 MN/SLM5650.IOM Reed-Solomon Outer Codec The concatenation of an outer Reed-Solomon (R-S) Codec with a Viterbi decoder first became popular in the early 1990's. It permits significant improvements in error performance without significant bandwidth expansion. The coding overhead added by the R-S outer Codec is typically around 10%, which translates to a 0.4 dB power penalty for a given link.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Options Revision 1 MN/SLM5650.IOM Closed Network Modes A 225,205 code is used in closed network mode. For a rate of 225,205 data is put into blocks of 225 bytes, of which 205 bytes are data, and 20 bytes are FEC overhead. The code was chosen because it is compatible with legacy Comtech EF Data modems. For closed network Viterbi Reed Solomon, an interleaver depth of 8 is used. The increase in coding gain is at the expense of delay.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Options Revision 1 MN/SLM5650.IOM Table A-3. Concatenated RS Coding Summary A.4 FOR AGAINST Exceptionally good BER performance several orders of magnitude improvement in link BER under given link conditions. Very small additional bandwidth expansion Interoperable with legacy Intelsat networks Very pronounced threshold effect - does not fail gracefully in poor Eb/No conditions. Additional coding overhead actually degrades sync threshold, and reduces link fade margin.

Appendix B. REMOTE CONTROL B.1 Introduction This section describes the protocol and message command set for remote monitor and control of the SLM-5650 Modem. The electrical interface is either an EIA-485 multi-drop bus (for the control of many devices) or an EIA-232 connection (for the control of a single device), and data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form, using ASCII characters.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Remote Control Revision 1 MN/SLM5650.IOM but only one (the intended) will reply. The target enables its output line driver, and transmits its return data packet back to the controller, in the other direction, on the physically separate pair. EIA 485 (full duplex) summary: • • • B.3 Two differential pairs - one pair for controller to target, one pair for target to controller. Controller-to-target pair has one line driver (controller), and all targets have linereceivers.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Remote Control B.5 Revision 1 MN/SLM5650.IOM Packet Structure Controller-to-target: Start of Packet Target Address < ASCII code 60 (1 character) (4 characters) Example: Address De-limiter / ASCII code 47 Instruction Code (1 character) (3 characters) Code Qualifier = or ? ASCII code 61 or 63 (1 character) Optional Arguments End of Packet Carriage Return ASCII code 13 (n characters) (1 character) <0135/TFQ=70.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Remote Control IMPORTANT B.5.3 Revision 1 MN/SLM5650.IOM The controller sends a packet with the address of a target the destination of the packet. When the target responds, the address used is the same address, to indicate to the controller the source of the packet. The controller does not have its own address. Instruction Code This is a three-character alphabetic sequence, which identifies the subject of the message.
SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Remote Control Revision 1 MN/SLM5650.IOM From Target to Controller, the only permitted values are: Symbol = (ASCII code 61) Definition The ‘=’ code is used in two ways: a. If the controller has sent a query code to a target (Example: TFQ? (meaning ‘what’s the Transmit frequency?’), the target would respond with TFQ=xxxx.xxxx, where xxxx.xxxx represents the frequency in question. b.

SLM-5650 Satellite Modem Ethernet Management Revision 1 MN/SLM5650.IOM There is a disadvantage when using Windows DOS as Telnet Client. Since Windows DOS cannot translate a ‘\r’ to a ‘\r\n’ for the messages coming from Telnet Server, the multi-line command response (for example, FRW? response) will be displayed as one line, with the latter lines overwriting the previous lines. In order to view the full response messages, CEFD recommends using HyperTerminal configured as Telnet Client.
