DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Installation
Section 2 – Installation
2.0 Installation Requirements
The DMD15/DMD15L Modem is designed to be installed within any standard 19-inch wide
equipment cabinet or rack, and requires one rack unit (RU) of mounting space (1.75 inches)
vertically and 21 inches of depth. Including cabling, a minimum of 23 inches of rack depth is
required. The rear panel of the DMD15/DMD15L is designed to have power enter from the right
and IF Cabling enter from the left when viewed from the rear of the modem. Data and control
cabling can enter from either side although they are closer to the right. The unit can be placed on
a table or suitable surface if required.
There are no user-serviceable parts or configuration settings located inside
the DMD15/DMD15L Chassis. There is a potential shock hazard internally at
the power supply module. DO NOT open the DMD15/DMD15L Chassis
under any circumstances.
Before initially applying power to the unit, it is a good idea to disconnect
the transmit output from the operating ground station equipment. This is
especially true if the current DMD15/DMD15L configuration settings are
unknown, where incorrect settings could disrupt existing communications
traffic.
2.1 Unpacking
The DMD15/DMD15L Modem was carefully packaged to avoid damage and should arrive
complete with the following items for proper installation:
1.
2.
3.
DMD15/DMD15L Modem Unit.
Power Cord, 6-foot with applicable AC Connector.
Installation and Operation Manual.
2.2 Removal and Assembly
Carefully unpack the unit and ensure that all of the above items are in the carton. If the Prime AC
power available at the installation site requires a different Power Cord/AC Connector, then
arrangements to receive the proper device will be necessary before proceeding with the
installation.
The DMD15/DMD15L Modem Unit is shipped fully assembled and does not require removal of the
covers for any purpose in installation. The only replaceable assembly in the unit is the Universal
Interface Module (UIM).
TM051 - Rev. 5.8
2-1
Installation
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Always ensure that power is removed from the DMD15/DMD15L before
removing or installing a UIM. Failure to do so may cause damage to the
equipment.
Should the Power Cable/AC Connector be of the wrong type for the installation, either the cable or
the power connector end should be replaced. The power supply itself is designed for universal
application using from 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, 1.0 A.
2.3 Mounting Considerations
When mounted in an equipment rack, adequate ventilation must be provided. The ambient
temperature in the rack should preferably be between 10° and 35° C, and held constant for best
equipment operation. The air available to the rack should be clean and relatively dry. The
modem units may be stacked one on top of the other to a maximum of 10 consecutive units
before providing one RU of space for airflow. Modem units should not be placed immediately
above a high heat or EMF Generator to ensure the output signal integrity and proper receive
operation.
Do not mount the DMD15/DMD15L in an unprotected outdoor location where there is direct
contact with rain, snow, wind or sun. The modem is designed for indoor applications only. The
only tools required for rack mounting the DMD15/DMD15L is a set of four rack-mounting screws
and the appropriate screwdriver. Rack mounting brackets are an integral part of the cast front
bezel of the unit and are not removable.
2.4 DMD15/DMD15L Initial Configuration Check
The DMD15/DMD15L is shipped from the factory with preset factory defaults. Upon initial powerup, a user check should be performed to verify the shipped modem configuration. Refer to
Section 4, User Interfaces to locate and verify that the following configuration settings are correct:
The DMD15/DMD15L Interface Type (V.35, RS-422, RS-232, G.703, etc.)
MUST be selected from the Front Panel BEFORE the mating connectors are
installed. Failure to do so may cause damage to the Universal Interface
Module. Power up the DMD15/DMD15L, select the appropriate interface
type, and then install the mating connectors.
Note: Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) Interface types are dependent upon the customer’s
order.

2.5 Modulator Checkout
The following descriptions assume that the DMD15/DMD15L is installed in a suitable location with
prime AC power and supporting equipment available.
2.5.1 Initial Power-Up
Before initial power up of the DMD15/DMD15L, it is a good idea to
disconnect the transmit output from the operating ground station
equipment. This is especially true if the current Modulator Configuration
Settings are unknown, where incorrect settings could disrupt the existing
communications traffic. New units from the factory are normally shipped in
a default configuration which includes setting the transmit carrier off.
Turn on the unit by placing the Rear Panel Switch (located above the power entry connector) to
the ‘ON’ position. Upon initial and subsequent power-ups, the DMD15/DMD15L Microprocessor
will test itself and several of its components before beginning its Main Monitor/Control Program.
These power-up diagnostics show no results if successful. If a failure is detected, the Fault LED
will illuminate.

Section 3 – Operation
3.0 Theory of Operation
The DMD15/DMD15L is designed in three major sections: Universal Interface, Baseband
Processing, and Universal Modem.
3.1 DMD15/DMD15L Functional Block Diagram
Figures 3-1a through 3-1c represent the DMD15/DMD15L Functional Blocks. The modem is

Operation
3.2 Universal Interface Module (UIM)
The Universal Interface Module (UIM) is a field-replaceable module that plugs into the rear of the
DMD15/DMD15L. The UIM provides the interconnection points (J3 - J8) for Terrestrial Data and
Clock to the Modem. The UIM also contains a Connection Port for an Asynchronous Data
Channel (J9) for use in Earth Station-to-Earth Station (ES-ES) communications. Additionally, the
UIM provides connection points (J11) for Form-C modem Status Relays. An illustration of two
versions of the UIM is shown in Figure 3-2, and Functional Block Diagrams are shown in
Figure 3-3.

TM051 - Rev. 5.8
3-3
Operation
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Figure 3-3. Universal Interface Modules (UIM) Functional Block Diagram
3.3 Synchronous Interface
Synchronous Tx Data and Clock enters the UIM and is routed to either the RS-422, RS-232, or
V.35 Receiver as the selected M&C Processor. The signals are then converted to an RS-422
balanced format and sent to the Baseband (BB) Processor Card. Receive Data from the BB
Processor Card undergoes the reverse process where it is converted from RS-422 Balanced
format and routed to the RS-422 or V.35 Drivers.
3.4 G.703 Interface
Either Balanced or Unbalanced G.703 Data is routed from the ‘Send Data In’ Connections to the
G.703 Receiver. The G.703 Receiver recovers a clock from the data stream, converts the clock
and data to an RS-422 balanced format, and routes the clock and data to the BB Processor. The
reverse process is performed on the Receive Data Stream where the G.703 Data exits the
modem at the ‘Receive Data Out’ Connection. The G.703 Interface is designed to operate at the
following data rates:
T1 (1.544 Mbps)
E1 (2.048 Mbps)
T2 (6.312 Mbps)
E2 (8.448 Mbps)
Additionally, the line code is selected when the interface type is selected with the exception that
T1 may use B8ZS or AMI as selected at the Front Panel.
The G.703 Interface also contains two additional ports that can operate at T1 or E1 that provides
a four port D&I Interface. The ‘Drop Data Out’ Port provides an unaltered Send Data Output that
can be used for daisy chaining additional systems. On the receive side, a T1 or E1 Data Stream
3-4
TM051 – Rev. 5.8
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Operation
can be connected to the ‘Insert Data In’ Port where received data will overwrite ‘dropped on’ the
T1/E1 Data Stream. The modified T1/E1 Data Stream will then exit the modem out of the
‘Receive Data Out’ Port.
3.5 Earth Station to Earth Station (ES-ES) Communications Port
(Async Port J9)
The UIM contains a selectable RS-232, or RS-485 Asynchronous Communications Port for EarthStation-to-Earth-Station Communications. The data is routed from the 9-Pin “D” Connector J9 to
one of the M&C Processor UARTS on the Baseband Processor Card. The baud rate and protocol
can be selected from the Front Panel.
3.6 Terrestrial Loopback
The UIM also provides for terrestrial loopback. For Tx Terr Loopback, Tx Data, after passing
through the Line Interface is looped back to the Rx Data line drivers. For RX Terr Loopback, the
Receive Data from the satellite is looped back for retransmission to the satellite providing a far
end loopback. Tx/Rx Loopback provides both loopbacks simultaneously. Refer to Figures 3-4
through 3-6 for loopback functional block diagrams.
3.7 Modem Status
The UIM provides several status indications, which are controlled by the M&C Processor.
Form-C Contacts:
The UIM provides three Form-C Relays under processor control that appear at J11.
Mod Fault:
De-energized when any transmit side fault is detected.
Demod Fault:
De-energized when any receive side fault is detected.
Common Fault:
De-energized when any fault that is not explicitly a Tx or
Rx Fault such as an M&C or Power Supply Fault.
Open Collector Faults:
The UIM provides two Open Collector Faults that appear at Pins 28 & 10 on J8.
Mod Fault:
Will sink up to 20 ma (maximum) until a transmit or
common fault is detected. Will not sink current if a fault
is detected.
Demod Fault:
Will sink up to 20 ma (maximum) until a receive or
common fault is detected. Will not sink current if a fault
is detected.
The open collector faults are intended for use in redundancy switch applications in order to
provide quick status indications.

3.8 Baseband Processor Card
The Baseband Processor Card (BB Card) contains two major subsystems⎯the Baseband
Processing System and the Monitor and Control Subsystem.
3.8.1 Baseband Processing
The Baseband Processor performs all of the functions required for an IBS/IDR Framing Unit, a
Reed-Solomon Codec, an E1/T1 Drop and Insert System and a Turbo Codec. In addition, the
Baseband Processing Section provides for Transmit clock selection and rate adaptation as well as
a rate adapter and Plesiochronous/Doppler (PD) Buffer in the receive direction. A multiplexer is
also provided for the SCT Clock Source for Loop Timing Applications. The transmit and receive
paths may be configured independently under processor control.
3.8.2 Tx Baseband Processing
As shown in Figure 3-7, the Tx Data and Clock enters the Baseband Processor, passes through a
Rate Adapting FIFO and enters the Framer/Drop Processor. In Closed-Net Mode, the data
passes through the framer unaltered. In IDR, IBS, and D&I Modes, the framer adds the
appropriate framing and ESC as defined in IESS-308 and 309. In D&I Mode, the framer acquires
the terrestrial framing structure, E1 or T1, and synchronizes the Drop Processor. The Drop
Processor extracts the desired time slots from the terrestrial data stream and feeds these
channels back to the framer. The framer then places the ‘dropped’ terrestrial time slots into the
desired satellite channel slots. The data is then sent to the Reed-Solomon Encoder.
The Reed-Solomon Encoder, if engaged, is designed as an installable option that encodes the
data into Reed-Solomon Blocks. The blocks are interleaved and synchronized to the frame
pattern as defined in IESS-308 and IESS-309. After Reed-Solomon Encoding, the composite
data and clock are applied to the BB Loopback Circuit.

3-8
TM051 – Rev. 5.8
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Operation
3.8.3 Rx Baseband Processing
The Receive Processor performs the inverse function of the Tx Processor. Data received from
the satellite passes through the BB Loopback Circuit to the Reed-Solomon Decoder to the
Deframer. The Deframer acquires the IBS/IDR frame, synchronizes the Reed-Solomon Decoder
and extracts the received data and overhead from the frame structure, placing the data into the
PD Buffer, sending the overhead data to the UIM. In Closed-Net Mode, the data is extracted from
the buffer and is sent to the UIM. Backward Alarm indications are sent to the M&C Subsystem.
In Drop and Insert Mode, the Insert Processor synchronizes to the incoming terrestrial T1/E1 Data
Stream, extracts satellite channels from the PD Buffer, and then inserts them into the desired
terrestrial time slots in the T1/E1 Data Stream.
3.8.4 Clock Selection
Both the Tx Clock and the Buffer Clock source may be independently locked to one of the
following:
SCT (Internal Oscillator)
SCTE (External Tx Terrestrial Clock)
EXC clock (External Clock Source)
Rx Satellite Clock (Loop Timing)
Additionally, for loop timing applications the SCT Clock Source can be selected to be Rx Satellite
Clock.
3.9 Monitor & Control (M&C) Subsystem
Also contained on the BB Card is the M&C Subsystem. The M&C contains a high-performance
Motorola 68302 Microprocessor and is responsible for overall command and control of modem
functions. The M&C is constantly monitoring all subsystems of the modem by performing a
periodic poll routine and configures the modem by responding to commands input to the system.
During each poll cycle, the status of each of the subsystems is collected and reported to each of
the external ports and Front Panel. Performance statistics such as Eb/No, buffer fill %, etc. are
compiled. If faults are detected, the M&C will take appropriate actions to minimize the effect of
such faults on the system (Refer to the Fault Matrices in the Section 6 (Maintenance) of this
manual).
The M&C subsystem contains the following features:
3.9.1 Asynchronous Serial Port #1
This port is dedicated to the Terminal Program. With this program, all features of the modem may
be controlled and monitored by any common terminal connected to the Terminal Port.
3.9.2 Serial Port #2
This port is dedicated to the Modem Remote Port. This port may be configured to support a
number of synchronous or asynchronous protocols such as HDLC, and RS-485. This port is
intended for use in computer-based remote M&C. All functions of the modem may be monitored
and controlled from this port.
3.9.3 Serial Port #3
This port is dedicated for ES-ES Communications. The port may be configured for a number of
communications protocols. Overhead data to/from the UIM is routed to/from the framer/deframer.
TM051 - Rev. 5.8
3-9
Operation
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
3.9.4 Front Panel Interface
The M&C operates the Front Panel, which includes a 2 x 12 backlit LCD, Indicator LEDs, and a
Numeric Keypad.
3.9.5 Clock
The time and date is kept in order to ‘time-tag’ system events.
3.9.6 Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer monitors the health of the M&C Subsystem.
3.9.7 Program Flash ROM
The 512K of reprogrammable program ROM (expandable to 1 MB) is available to the M&C.
3.9.8 RAM
128K RAM (expandable to 512K)
3.9.9 Non-Volatile RAM
8K of Non-Volatile RAM (expandable to 32K) is provided in order to hold the modems current
configuration. In the case of power interruption, the M&C will reconfigure the modem identically to
the state before power was lost.
3.10 Universal Modem
The Universal Modem (UM) Card contains a complete variable rate modulator/demodulator
intended for satellite communications. The UM utilizes the latest digital technology for high
reliability and versatility. The modulator and demodulator sections may be configured
independently under processor control. The UM includes a duaL-Band 70/140 MHz IF, QAM
Modulator/Phase Lock Receiver, Convolutional Encoder/Viterbi Decoder, sequential decoding
option, Differential Encoder/Decoder, and a V.35 Scrambler/Descrambler.
3.10.1 Modulator
Processed baseband data ready for transmission enters the modulator and undergoes, if the
functions have been enabled, V.35 Scrambling and Differential Encoding. The data then
undergoes convolutional encoding and is fed to the Dual Variable Interpolating FIR Filter. The FIR
Filter shapes the data waveform to a predefined spectral mask and vectorizes the data for
mapping into a PSK Constellation. The data is then converted to an analog waveform and is
vector modulated onto an RF Carrier produced from the Transmit IF Synthesizer Circuitry. The
final output is then fed to the IF Loopback Circuitry where under microprocessor control the
Transmit Signal may be routed to the demodulator. Due to its nearly complete digital
implementation, the modulator is capable of performing virtually any modulation format, and can
produce almost any desired spectral mask. The modulator also houses the SCT and Reference
Oscillators. The Reference Oscillator provides the frequency standard for both the modulator and
demodulator. An external reference may also be selected. In this case, the Reference Oscillator
is locked to the external reference.
3-10
TM051 – Rev. 5.8
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Operation
3.10.2 Demodulator
The demodulator performs a complete digital implementation of a Variable-Rate Phase-Lock
Satellite Receiver utilizing state-of-the-art digital signal processing techniques. The demodulator
is capable of receiving nearly any modulation format. Signals enter the demodulator, are
converted to baseband, split into ‘I’ In-Phase and ‘Q’ Quadrature Channels and digitized. The
digitized I and Q Channels are then applied to a decimating FIR Matched Filter. After filtering, the
signal is demodulated using a Costas Loop for recovery of the carrier and a clock recovery loop
for recovery of bit timing. The demodulated data is then fed to a 1650 Viterbi Decoder, or
Sequential Decoder if the option is installed. After decoding, the data is differentially decoded and
descrambled.
3.11 DMD15/DMD15L Clocking Options
The following paragraphs define the types of clocking options available to the user at the Front
Panel of the DMD15/DMD15L:
3.11.1 SCTE: Serial Clock Transmit External
This clock is the Transmit Terrestrial Clock associated with the interface. With the G.703
Interface selected, SCTE is the clock that is recovered from the G.703 data stream. SCTE is
sometimes referred to as Tx Terrestrial Timing and for Synchronous Interfaces such as RS-422,
SCTE is sometimes referred to as TT (Terminal Timing).
3.11.2 SCT: Serial Clock Transmit
This clock is an internally generated clock that is output from the modem. The clock is generally
used by the Terrestrial Terminal equipment for clocking the transmit data. The frequency of the
clock is set the same as the Transmit Terrestrial Clock rate if internal is selected, or is the receive
clock from the Demodulator if SCR is selected. SCT is sometimes referred to as Internal Timing
or ST (Send Timing).
3.11.4 EXT EXC: External Clock
This is an independent clock source. This clock is most often used if there is a station master
clock. The EXT EXC can be selected, in the Interface/General Menu, to be balanced, bnc exc,
sys rcs10, or IDI. IDI is used ONLY for D&I cases where external framing is selected. In this
case the EXT EXC must be set to IDI where the Receive Buffer Clock is derived from the external
Receive T1 or E1 Trunk.
3.11.5 BNC EXC: BNC External Clock
Unbalanced external clock input into BNC Connector J5.
Clock specification:
Frequency:
Level:
1 MHz – 10 MHz in 40 kHz steps
0.5 Vp-p – 5 Vp-p
3.11.6 BAL EXC: Balanced External Clock
This clock is input into J8-15-33, J7-7-8, or J18-13-47; all connectors are wired together for this
clock and so only one connector pair should be driven at one time. The clock must meet RS-422
levels.
TM051 - Rev. 5.8
3-11
Operation
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
3.11.7 IDI: Insert Data In
This clock source is only used as an external frame source selected in D&I Mode. If External
Frame Source is selected, then IDI must be selected for the buffer clock. For this case, a
Receive T1/E1 Trunk is input into J5 and a buffer clock is derived.
3.11.8 SCR: Serial Clock Receive
This Receive Clock is recovered from the satellite’s receive signal from the satellite. SCR is
sometimes referred to as Receive Clock, Satellite Clock, or as RT (Receive Timing).
3.11.9 EXT IF REF: External IF Reference
This is not actually a clock, but does have some clocking implications. When the external
reference is used, the master oscillator within the DMD15/DMD15L is locked to the external
reference, and the internal accuracy and stability of the DMD15/DMD15L assumes that of the
External Reference. Therefore, not only are the transmit and receive frequencies of the
DMD15/DMD15L locked to the external reference, but the modem’s internal SCT Oscillator is
locked to the external reference as well.
3.12 Transmit Timing
As shown in Figure 3-7, Transmit Terrestrial Data enters the modem and is clocked into a Dejitter
FIFO. Data is clocked out of the FIFO by the Modulator Clock. The Modulator Clock and PhaseLocked Loop (PLL), in conjunction with the Dejitter FIFO, reduces the input jitter. Jitter reduction
exceeds the jitter transfer specified in CCITT G.821.
3.12.1 EXT CLK as TX Clock Source (RS-422 or V.35 Interface)
Data must be clocked into the modem by either the SCTE or SCT Source. If EXT CLK is selected
as the Tx Clock Source, then SCTE must be supplied to the modem. The output of the dejitter
buffer will be clocked with EXT CLK. This case should only be used if SCTE has excessive jitter
and will degrade link performance.
3.12.2 SCT or SCTE
If SCT is selected, then only data that is synchronous to the SCT Clock is required to be supplied
to the modem. It is intended for the terminal equipment to use the SCT as its clock source. The
Autophase Circuit will automatically ensure that the data is clocked correctly into the modem.
Therefore, a return clock is not necessary. The Clock Polarity should be set to AUTO.
If SCTE is selected, then SCTE must be supplied to the modem. The Clock Polarity should be
set to AUTO.
3.12.3 G.703 Interface
If the G.703 Interface is selected, then the Tx Clock Source must be set to SCTE and the Clock
Polarity should be set to AUTO.
3.13 Receive Timing
Any of the clocking selections, SCTE, SCT, EXT CLK, or RxSat (SCR) may be selected as the
Buffer Clock. Data will be clocked out of the buffer at the data rate synchronous to the selected
clock source.
3-12
TM051 – Rev. 5.8
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Operation
3.14 Loop Timing
If loop timing is desired (i.e.; the modem timing is slaved to the far end master station), the
modem clocks can be configured as follows:
3.14.1 Transmit (RS-422 or V.35 Interface)
Set SCT Source to ‘SCR’. The Tx Terminal Equipment must clock the TX Data with the SCT
Clock and return data and SCTE (Optional). If SCTE is returned to the modem from the terminal
equipment, set TX CLK to SCTE. If SCTE is not returned to the modem, set TX CLK to SCT.
The TX CLK PHASE should be set to AUTO.
3.14.2 G.703 Interface or Asymmetrical Data Rates
Loop timing with a G.703 Interface or Asymmetrical Data Rates requires external equipment at
the remote end that is capable of using the recovered RD Clock as source timing for (SCTE) SD.
The modem will not manipulate the clock frequency. Therefore, the transmit and receive clock
rates must be equal in order for the modem to perform loop timing.
3.14.3 Receive
Select the Buffer clock to RxSAT (SCR).
3.15 Drop and Insert (D&I)
The Radyne DMD15/DMD15L Drop and Insert (D&I) Function provides an interface between a full
T1 or E1 Trunk whose framing is specified in CCITT G.704 and a fractional Nx64 Kbps Satellite
Channel that conforms to the IBS and small IDR Framing Structures. The Drop function allows
the user to select the terrestrial T1 or E1 timeslots that are to be dropped off for transmission over
the link in the specified satellite channels.
The Insert function allows the user to select the T1 or E1 timeslots into which the received satellite
channels are to be inserted. The two functions are completely independent allowing maximum
flexibility in choosing configurations. The four-port G.703 Interface allows one or more modems to
be looped together using the same T1 or E1 trunk.
The Transmit Data Trunk is brought into the modem via the Send Data In (SDI) Port. From there,
the TX Baseband Processor extracts the selected timeslots from the G.704 Frame and prepares
them for transmission. The original trunk data is sent out of the modem unaltered via the Send
Data Out (SDO) Port. The Receive Data Trunk is brought into the modem via the Insert Data In
(IDI) Port. The data is buffered inside the modem and the RX Baseband Processor inserts
satellite data into the selected timeslots in the G.704 Frame. The modified terrestrial trunk is then
output via the Receive Data Out (RDO) Port.
Figure 3-8 shows two modems looped together. This configuration could be simplified to just use
one modem, or extended to use more than two modems. Figure 3-9 shows an alternative method
of looping where all of the drop (transmit) data is processed prior to performing any insert
(receive) processing. In both configurations, the terrestrial trunk is providing the timing for the
satellite transmission and for the terrestrial receive.

3.15.2 Insert Only
When Insert is enabled and Drop is disabled, the DMD15/DMD15L performs an insert-only
function. If framed terrestrial E1 or T1 Data is available, it should be input via the Insert Data In
Port. The Terrestrial Data is buffered inside the Modem. The RX Baseband Processor inserts
satellite data into the selected timeslots in the G.704 Frame and the modified terrestrial data is
then output via the Receive Data Out Port (refer to Figure 3-11).
If framed terrestrial data is not available, selection of the Internal T1/E1 frame source will cause
the modem to generate the required G.704 Frame. The Satellite Data will be inserted into the
selected timeslots, and the resulting terrestrial data will be output via the Receive Data Out Port.
Any non-inserted timeslots in the G.704 Frame will be filled with the appropriate Idle Code (refer to
Figure 3-12).

3.16 Mode Selection
The DMD15/DMD15L D&I can be easily configured to support several commonly used terrestrial
data formats. For E1 Data, the user can choose between PCM-30, PCM-30C, PCM-31 and PCM31C. For T1 Data, the user can choose between T1-D4, T1-ESF, and SLC-96. The following
paragraphs provide more information on the various mode selection capabilities of the
DMD15/DMD15L.
3.16.1 PCM-30
The PCM-30 Mode of Operation supports an E1 Interface with Multiframe Alignment (MFAS) and
Channel Associated Signaling (CAS). The user may independently program n timeslots to drop
and n timeslots to insert where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, or 30. In addition to
the selected drop timeslots, the Transmit Function also extracts the appropriate ABCD signaling
bits from terrestrial timeslot 16 for transmission in IBS Frame as required. Conversely, the
Receive Function extracts received ABCD signaling bits from the IBS Frame and inserts them in
timeslot 16 of the appropriate terrestrial frame. This transmission and reception of ABCD
signaling based upon the drop and insert timeslots is performed automatically and is transparent
to the user. In PCM-30 mode, the user may not select timeslot 16 as a Drop or Insert Timeslot.
3.16.2 PCM-30C
The PCM-30C Mode of Operation supports an E1 Interface with Multiframe Alignment (MFAS)
and Channel Associated Signaling (CAS). In addition, the Drop function verifies the received
terrestrial CRC checksum and the Insert function calculates the required CRC checksum. The
user may independently program n timeslots to drop and n timeslots to insert where n = 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, or 30. In addition to the selected Drop timeslots, the Transmit
Function also extracts the appropriate ABCD signaling bits from terrestrial timeslot 16 for
transmission in IBS Frame as required. Conversely, the Receive Function extracts received
ABCD signaling bits from the IBS frame and inserts them in timeslot 16 of the appropriate
terrestrial frame. This transmission and reception of ABCD signaling based upon the Drop and
Insert timeslots is performed automatically and is transparent to the user. In PCM-30C Mode, the
user may not select timeslot 16 as a Drop or Insert Timeslot.
3.16.3 PCM-31
The PCM-31 Mode of Operation supports an E1 Interface with no Multiframe Alignment (MFAS)
or Channel Associated Signaling (CAS). The user may independently program n timeslots to drop
and n timeslots to insert where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, or 30. Because there
is no implied ABCD signaling, the user is free to select timeslot 16 as a Drop or Insert Timeslot.

Operation
3.16.4 PCM-31C
The PCM-31C Mode of Operation supports an E1 Interface with no Multiframe Alignment (MFAS)
or Channel Associated Signaling (CAS). In addition, the Drop Function verifies the received
terrestrial CRC checksum and the Insert Function calculates the required CRC checksum. The
user may independently program ‘n’ timeslots to drop and ‘n’ timeslots to insert where ‘n’ = 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, or 30. Because there is no implied ABCD signaling, the user is
free to select timeslot 16 as a Drop or Insert Timeslot.
3.16.5 T1-D4/T1-D4-S
The T1-D4 Mode of Operation supports a T1 Interface with 12 frames per multiframe. The user
may independently program n timeslots to drop and n timeslots to insert where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, or 30. In the DMD15/DMD15L, Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) is handled
without any need for operator intervention and is transparent to the user.
3.16.6 T1-ESF/ T1-ESF-S
The T1-ESF Mode of Operation supports a T1 Interface with 24 frames per multiframe. The
CRC-6 checksum is automatically checked by the Drop Function and generated by the Insert
Function and placed in the appropriate F-bit positions in the terrestrial multiframe. The user may
independently program n timeslots to drop, and n timeslots to insert, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8,
10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, or 30. In the DMD15/DMD15L, Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) is handled
without any need for operator intervention and is transparent to the user.
3.16.7 SLC-96
The T1 SLC-96 Mode supports a T1 Interface with 12 Frames per Multiframe (as per T1-D4) with
the following exceptions:
The signaling frames (Fs bits) are sent twice in succession.
During the subsequent four signaling frames, the Fs bits are replaced with data link
information bits.
The data frame is composed of six signaling frames with a length of 9 msec. The user may
independently program n timeslots to drop, and n timeslots to insert, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8,
10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, or 30. In the DMD15/DMD15L, Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) is handled
without any need for operator intervention and is transparent to the user.
3.17 Multidestinational Systems
Because the Drop and Insert Functions are completely independent, the DMD15/DMD15L easily
supports multidestinational communications. Figure 3-13 illustrates a Multidestinational System
with one Hub site and three remote sites. At the Hub site, thirty channels are being transmitted to
all three remote sites and a fractional set of channels is being received from each remote site. At
the other end of the link, each remote site is transmitting a fractional E1 to the Hub site as well as
receiving all thirty (30) channels from the Hub site. It also identifies those channels intended for it,
and inserts them into the terrestrial data stream.

the settings into the modem.
Example :
For a modem w/ Drop & Insert enabled at a data rate of 256 (with timeslots assigned 1-1, 2-2,
etc.). At a data rate of 256, the modem will allow 4 channels to assign timeslots to. Under the Tx
Menu, assign the timeslots that are to be used to the 4 channels. CH1 is assigned to TS1
(Timeslot #1), CH2 to TS 2, CH3 to TS3 and CH4 to TS4, must be depressed after
assigning each individual TS. Once the timeslots are assigned to the channels, use the Left or
Right Arrow Key to scroll to the Mapping Menu. This menu will appear in the following way:

3.18 Reed-Solomon Codec (Refer to Figures 3-14, 3-15, and Table 3-1)
Utilizing a Reed-Solomon (RS) Outer Codec concatenated with a Convolutional Inner Codec is an
effective way to produce very low error rates even for poor signal-to-noise ratios while requiring
only a small increase in transmission bandwidth. Typically, concatenating an RS Codec requires
an increase in transmission bandwidth of only 9 – 12% while producing a greater than 2 dB
improvement in Eb/No. RS is a block Codec where K data bytes are fed into the encoder which
adds 2t = (N – K) check bytes to produce an N byte RS block. The RS decoder can then correct
up to “t” erred bytes in the block.
3.18.1 Operation in the DMD15/DMD15L
When the Reed-Solomon Codec is enabled, data is fed to the RS Encoding Section of the
DMD15/DMD15L where it is scrambled, formed into blocks, RS encoded, and interleaved.
Unique words are added so that the blocks can be reformed in the Receiving Modem (Refer to
Figure 3-13). Data is then sent to the modulator where it is convolutionally encoded, modulated
and transmitted to the satellite.
When the signal is received and demodulated by the Receiving Modem, it is fed to a Viterbi
Decoder for the first layer of error correction. After error correction is performed by the Viterbi
Decoder, the unique words are located and the data is deinterleaved and reformed into blocks.
The RS Decoder then corrects the leftover errors in each block. The data is then descrambled
and output from the RS Section.
3.18.2 Reed-Solomon Code Rate
The RS Code Rate is defined by (N, K) where N is the total RS block size in bytes - data + check
bytes - and K is the number of data bytes input into the RS Encoder. The transmission rate
expansion required by the RS Codec is then defined by N/K. The DMD15/DMD15L automatically
sets the correct RS code rate for IDR/IBS open network operation in accordance with the data
shown in Table 3-1. In Closed Net Mode, the DMD15/DMD15L allows any N or K setting up to N
= 255, and K = 235 to allow tailoring of the code rate to meet system requirements.
3.18.3 Interleaving
The DMD15/DMD15L allows for interleaving depths of 4 or 8 RS Blocks. This allows burst errors
to be spread over 4 or 8 RS blocks in order to enhance the error correcting performance of the
RS Codec. For Open Network Modes, the DMD15/DMD15L automatically sets the interleaving
depth to 4 for QPSK or BPSK or 8 for 8PSK. In Closed Network Mode, the interleaver depth can
be manually set to 4 or 8.

3.19 DMD15 Automatic Uplink Power Control (AUPC Operation)
The DMD15 Modem has an optional built-in provision for Automatic Uplink Power Control (AUPC).
AUPC attempts to maintain a constant Eb/No at the receive end of an SCPC link. This is
especially useful when operating over a satellite at Ku-Band Frequencies in locations with high
rainfall periods.
Note: An Asynchronous or IBS Interface is required for AUPC. Also, IBS (Async Framing
Mode MUST be selected to provide a channel for AUPC operation.
3-22
TM051 – Rev. 5.8
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Operation
The IBS Async Framer Data Mode provides a service channel between the two sites of a link
permitting the modem processors to send messages and get responses over this channel. AUPC
can be set to operate on either or both directions of a link but always requires a bi-directional
channel. Therefore, both the Modulator and Demodulator interface mode must be set to IBS
Async for the AUPC menus to be visible and for the AUPC function to operate properly. The
AUPC Functions and their descriptions are shown on Table 3-2.
Table 3-2. AUPC Functions
Function
Description
AUPC ENABLE/DISABLE
Enables/Disables the AUPC to function locally
AUPC Eb/No
Desired Eb/N0 of remote modem
AUPC MIN LVL
Sets minimum output power to be used
AUPC MAX LVL
Sets maximum output power to be used
AUPC DEF LVL
Sets default output power to be used
Note: The AUPC menus are located under the Modulator Menu as shown in Section 4.
The basic AUPC Operation is described as follows:
Assume that the two modems, one at each end of the link, are set to AUPC operation. Only one
direction is discussed, but the same functions could be occurring in both directions
simultaneously. Modem “A” is transmitting to modem “B” under normal conditions and modem “B”
has a receive Eb/No of 7.5 dB. Modem “A” has been set to an AUPC Eb/No on the Front Panel of
7.5 dB, and is currently outputting –15 dBm. Next, it begins raining at location “B”, and the Eb/No
drops to –7.0 then –6.8 dB. Modem “B” is constantly sending update messages to “A” and reports
the current Eb/No. When “A” sees the drop in Eb/No, it slowly begins to raise the output power, and
raises it again when it sees further drops. As the rain increases in intensity, and the Eb/No
decreases again, “A” continues to increase its power level to compensate, and when the rain
diminishes and quits, it lowers its power level to compensate. The operation is therefore a
feedback control loop with the added complication of a significant time delay.
There are safeguards built into the AUPC System. First, the Modulator has two additional
parameters, which allow control of the Maximum and Minimum Power Output Levels. Second, a
default power level is specified which takes precedence over the output power level during signal
loss or loss of AUPC Channel Communication. The default power level should normally be set to
a high enough level to reestablish communication regardless of rain fade. The other controls are
built into the operating control software to limit response times and detect adverse operating
conditions.

3.20 DMD15 Asynchronous Overhead Operation
3.20.1 Asynchronous Framing/Multiplexer Capability
The Asynchronous Framing/Multiplexer is capable of multiplexing a relatively low-speed overhead
channel onto the terrestrial data stream resulting in a slightly higher combined or aggregate data
rate through the modem. The overhead channel is recovered at the far end. This added channel
is termed variously “An Overhead Channel”, ”Service Channel”, “Async Channel” or in IESS
terminology an “ES to ES Data Channel.” The basic frame structure used by the multiplexer is
that specified in the IESS-309 Standard, resulting in a 16/15 Aggregate to Through-Data Ratio.
For Regular Async:
(Standard IBS), the Baud Rate is approximately 1/2000
of the Data Rate listed in Table 3-3.
For Enhanced Async:
(IBS Async.), the Baud Rate is selectable, but Data Rate
is limited.
The maximum Baud Rate is 19,200 bps for IBS Async. Two software-controlled modes are
designed into the card to best utilize the available bits; “Standard IBS” and “IBS (Async)”. The
characteristics of the Channel Interface is also determined by the standard or Async mode.
The Async Channel can be set under software-control to either RS-232 or RS-485 mode. The pin
assignments for both modes are shown in Table 3-3. The “RS-485” Setting controls the output
into tri-state when the modem is not transmitting data, allowing multiple modem outputs to be
connected together.

3.21 Standard IBS Mode
In the first or “Normal” mode, all bit assignments are per the IBS standard. The bits of Overhead
Housekeeping byte 32 are implemented as shown in Table 3-4 below:
Table 3-4.
Bit 1
ES to ES Data
Channel
This bit is routed directly to the ES to ES Data Channel.
th
th
Its data rate is 1/512 of the aggregate rate (or 1/480 of
the through terrestrial data rate), and is normally used to
super-sample an asynchronous data channel.
Bit 2
Frame Alignment
Part of the Frame Alignment word.
Bit 3
Backward Alarm
Transmit and Receive with main processor to activate
Main Alarm/LED.
Bit 4
Multiframe Message
As per IBS.
Bits 5 and 6
Spare
Not currently utilized.
Bits 7 and 8
Encryption Utilization
Not currently utilized.
The ratio of the Through Terrestrial Data Channel Rate to the aggregate rate is 15/16. The
standard transmit and receive channels of the ES to ES Data Channel in Standard IBS Mode are
raw channels operating at the specific bit rate as controlled by the data channel rate, without
buffering. In addition, no clocks are provided with this channel. Since it would be rare that the
data rate provided was exactly that required for a standard rate device, the only method of
communicating using this channel is to allow it to super-sample the user data.
3.22 Asynchronous Multiplexer Mode
Since many of the frame bits in the standard IBS mode are not used, an “Enhanced” Multiplexer
Mode has been implemented that can be engaged under software control. Since this mode
changes the use of many of the framed non-data bits, this mode is only usable when the DMD15
is at both ends of a link. In this mode, the overhead signaling bytes 16 and 48 can be used to
implement a significantly higher speed ES to ES Data Channel under software control. When
th
implemented, this rate is 16 times that of the normal IBS standard, or 1/30 of the terrestrial data
nd
rate (1/32 of the aggregate rate).
Note: The IBS Async mode MUST be selected for true Asynchronous channel operation to
be available.
3.23 ESC Backward Alarms
When running in IDR Mode and if the modem has the ESC Option, there will be four Backward
Alarms available for use by the earth stations at each end of the link (both ends must have the
ESC option). These alarms are accessed via the ESC ALARMS Port. The four alarms are
controlled by four relays, each having a normally open, normally closed, and a common
connection. The common connections of these relays (referred to as Backward Alarm Inputs) can
be connected to whichever system on the earth station that the user wishes to trigger the
backward alarm. When ground is applied to the Common (Input) Connection of one of these
relays, that relay and associated backward alarm will then be in a “no fault” state. When the
ground is removed, the relay and the associated Tx Backward Alarm will toggle to the faulted
state. When in the faulted state, the receive end of the link will receive that backward alarm that
is initiated at the transmit end of the link.
3-26
TM051 – Rev. 5.8
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Operation
The user can connect whichever systems on the earth stations that they desire to these Backward
Alarms Relays as long as they will supply ground to the Backward Alarm Relay Input in the “no
fault” condition and the ground will be removed in the “faulted” condition.
For example: the user could connect the Demod Summary Fault of the modem to the Backward
Alarm 1 Input, so that if the demod went into Major Alarm (such as a Carrier Loss), Backward
Alarm 1 would be transmitted to the receive end of the link. At the receive end, it would show up
as Rx Backward 1 (Receive Backward Alarm 1).
3.23.1 To Disable the ESC Backward Alarms
If the ESC ALARMS Port will not be used and the Backward Alarm Indications are to be disabled,
connect the following pins of the ESC ALARMS Port:
Connect Pins 1, 10, 11, 22 and 23 (connect all together). Pin 1 is ground and Pins 10, 11, 22, and
23 are the inputs of Backward Alarms 1 through 4. By connecting these four pins to ground (Pin
1) the Backward Alarms will be disabled and indicate “PASS” for BK1 through BK4.
3.24 Reacquisition
Reacquisition on the DMD15/DMD15L is the ability to reacquire a lost signal from a far end
modulator that returns at some point. The DMD15/DMD15L allows the user to program the
amount of time (0.0 – 900.0 seconds) that the demodulator will wait for the signal to reappear
before searching the entire programmed sweep range for the signal. Additionally, the
DMD15/DMD15L allows the user to specify the range (± 0 – 32000 Hz) in which the demodulator
will perform the narrow signal search (see Figure 3-16). Configuration can be accomplished via
the standard user interfaces (front panel, dumb terminal, remote).

Allows the user to enter the Modulator IF Frequency in 1
Hz increments.
Power:
{+5 to –20 dBm} {-5 to –30 L-Band}
Allows the user to enter the Transmitter Power Level.
The DMD15 has a digital/analog crossover point at -7.4
to -7.5 dBm (-17.4 to -17.5 dBm L-Band) when the output
power level setting crosses this threshold, the modulator
may glitch and undershoot the output momentarily.
Carrier Ctrl:
{On, Off}
The DMD15 transmitter will turn off the carrier output
automatically when the modem determines there is a
major alarm. This is done to prevent the carrier from
outputting an unknown spectrum and possibly disturbing
adjacent carriers. This automatic drop of the carrier can
be overridden by masking the alarm that is causing the
fault. This will keep the modulator output spectrum
transmitting, even when the fault occurs.
Spectrum Inv:
{Normal, Inverted}
Allows the user to invert the direction of rotation for PSK
Modulation. Normal meets the IESS Specification.

4.4 DMD15/DMD15L Strap Codes
The Strap Code is a quick set key that sets many of the modem parameters. For quick setup of
the DMD15/DMD15L, Strap Codes are very helpful. When a Strap Code is entered, the modem is
automatically configured for the code’s corresponding data rate, overhead, code rate, framing,
scrambler type and modulation. An example of how to set a strap code follows:
Example: At the Front Panel Menu, depress ‘↓’, then move ‘→’ to the ‘Strap Code’
Submenu and enter #16. The DMD15/DMD15L will be automatically configured to the parameters
shown below in the highlighted row ‘Strap Code 16’.

4.6 Configuring the DMD15/DMD15L for Drop and Insert
Several dependencies exist when configuring the modem for Drop and Insert (D&I). The following
paragraphs explain these dependencies and provide the user with the information required to
ensure smooth transition into D&I and to minimize the potential impact of these dependencies.
4.6.1 Data Rate
Data Rate affects the Drop and Insert function in the following ways:
It determines the number of Satellite Channels that will be displayed in the Edit Maps.
It contributes to the Operational Mode selection process. Trying to change the
Operational Mode to D&I when a data rate is not set to a valid D&I rate will result in the
error message ‘INVALID DATA RATE,’ and the mode change will not be allowed.
It contributes to the Terrestrial Framing Mode selection process. Trying to select a T1type Drop Mode such as T1-ESF with the mod data rate set to 1920000 bps (a valid E1
D&I rate but not a valid T1 rate) will result in the error message ‘INVALID DROP MODE’
and the selection will not be allowed. Trying to select a T1 type Insert Mode such as T1D4 with the demod data rate set to 1920000 bps will result in the error message INVALID
INSERT MODE and the selection will not be allowed.
Once D&I Mode has been selected, trying to change the data rate to something other
than another valid D&I data rate will result in the error message ‘RATE OUT OF
BOUNDS’ and the change will not be allowed.
Once D&I Mode has been selected with a T1 Terrestrial Framing Mode, attempting to
change the data rate to 1920000 will result in the error message ‘RATE OUT OF
BOUNDS’ and the change will not be allowed.
Therefore, the data rate should be entered as the first step in configuring the modem for D&I. The
Mod Data Rate should be set according to the number of timeslots to be dropped and the Demod
Data Rate should be set according to the number of timeslots to be inserted. The following table
gives the allowable D&I data rates based on the number of slots (n) to be dropped or inserted.
n = 1, data rate = 64000
n = 2, data rate = 128000
n = 3, data rate = 192000
n = 4, data rate = 256000
n = 5, data rate = 320000
n = 6, data rate = 384000
n = 8, data rate = 512000
n = 10, data rate = 640000
n = 12, data rate = 768000
4-34
TM051 – Rev. 5.8
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
User Interfaces
n = 15, data rate = 960000
n = 16, data rate = 1024000
n = 20, data rate = 1280000
n = 24, data rate = 1536000
n = 30, data rate = 1920000 (valid with E1 Interface only)
4.6.2 Operational Mode
The Operational Mode of the Modem often determines which additional menus and displays are
available for use by the operator. The D&I Mode-specific menus will not be displayed unless the
Operational Mode of the modem is set to D&I. Therefore, the second step in configuring the
modem should be to set the Operational Mode to D&I. At this point, the D&I specific menus in the
Interface section will become available and will remain available until the Operational Mode of the
modem is changed to something other than D&I. When the Operational Mode is changed to
something other than D&I, the D&I specific menus will automatically disappear.
4.6.3 Terrestrial Framing - Drop Mode/Insert Mode
The Drop Mode Selection and the Insert Mode Selection identify the Terrestrial Data-Framing
Format. As previously mentioned, their selection is influenced by the Modulator and Demodulator
Data Rates, and trying to select a T1 Type Framing Format with a data rate of 1920000 bps will
result in an error message. In turn, the selection of the terrestrial framing formats influences the
satellite channel to terrestrial timeslot mappings in the following manner:
The selection of T1-D4, T1-ESF, or SLC-96 type terrestrial framing format limits the
terrestrial timeslots to values from 1-24.
The selection of PCM-30 or PCM-30C type terrestrial framing limits the terrestrial
timeslots to values from 1-15, 17-31. In these modes, terrestrial timeslot 16 is reserved
for ABCD signaling and may not be dropped or inserted.
The selection of PCM-31 or PCM-31C type terrestrial framing limits the terrestrial
timeslots to values from 1-31. Therefore, the terrestrial framing format should be
identified via the Drop Mode and Insert Mode entries prior to editing the Drop or Insert
satellite channel to terrestrial timeslot maps.
4.6.3.1 Insert Terrestrial Frame Source
The Insert Terrestrial Frame Source selection tells the Modem from where the Insert Terrestrial
Frame is coming.
External:
Indicates that the terrestrial frame is to be input via the Insert Data In Port.
Internal:
Indicates that the modem needs to generate the terrestrial frame and that all noninserted timeslots need to be filled with the appropriate idle code based upon the
terrestrial framing (T1 or E1).
The selection of the Insert Terrestrial Frame Source also influences the Buffer Clock selection in
the following manner:
When the Insert Terrestrial Frame Source selection is set to External, the received satellite data
will be clocked out of the Doppler Buffer based upon the clock recovered from the insert data
input. Therefore, the Buffer Clock selection will automatically be set to External and cannot be
TM051 - Rev. 5.8
4-35
User Interfaces
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
modified. Attempts to select a different buffer clock will result in the error message INVALID
BUFFER CLOCK and the selection will not be allowed.
When the Insert Terrestrial Frame Source selection is set to Internal, the operator needs to
specify how data should be clocked out of the Doppler Buffer. In this case, the operator will be
able to select SCTE, SCT, RX SAT, or EXT EXC as the source for the Buffer Clock. Therefore,
the Insert Terrestrial Frame Source selection should be made prior to attempting to change the
Buffer Clock. In most instances, the Insert Terrestrial Frame Source selection will be set to
External and the Buffer Clock will automatically be set to External.
4.6.4 D&I Sample Configurations and D&I Clock Setup Options
The following are several examples of how to configure the modem for D&I. Also, refer to Figures

4.7 D&I Maps and Map Editing
The Drop and Insert multiplexer is programmed by loading it with a transmit and receive map.
Maps always contain 30 entries, although, only the first “n” entries are relevant (see Table 4-5).
The DMD15/DMD15L includes provisions to copy, change, and store the D&I transmit and receive
maps directly from the Front Panel or via the remote M&C link. These maps are tables that are
used to define and configure the D&I functions. Each map contains up to 30 entries, which are
enough to define the channel assignments for a T1 (24 channel) or E1 (30 channel) frame
structure. Maps that are created are stored in non-volatile battery backed-up memory within the
modem and remain unchanged after a power-down.

It is important to understand that each map contains up to 30 usable entries. In many cases a
smaller number of entries will be relevant, except when the data rate is 1920 Kbps, in which case
30 entries will used by the multiplexer. To determine the number of relevant entries, divide the
data rate by 64 Kbps.
For example:
At 384 Kbps, 384/64 = 6 entries.
So in this case only the first six entries of the map would be relevant.
The Modem is equipped with eight permanently stored default maps, which are designated
ROM 1 through ROM 8. The user may also define, modify, and save an additional eight maps
which are designated USER 1 through USER 8. Note that the ROM maps are read-only and may
not be modified (refer to Table 4-6).

Since the D&I Functions are separate and distinct, two separate maps must be configured at the
start of the D&I Multiplexer Operation. These are the Tx (transmit) Active Map for Drop Mapping
and the Rx (receive) Active Map for Insert Mapping. The number of entries in each map is
determined by the data rates selected. Each map entry consists of an IBS Time Slot assignment
and the Terrestrial (T1 or E1) Channel Number it is assigned to. Drop Mapping and Insert
Mapping are completely separate and independent.
The map that is actually used for the Drop Function is the Tx Active Map; the map that is actually
used for the Insert function is the Rx Active Map. Two additional maps exist: the Tx Edit Map and
the Rx Edit Map. The Edit Maps are the buffer areas that are used when creating or modifying a
map through the modem’s LCD; when editing is complete, the appropriate map should be copied
to the Active Map.
Any map may be copied to any other map with the exception of the ROM maps. These maps may
only be the source of the data used to create a User, Edit, or Active Map.
Maps can be created in the map editor and stored as “User Maps”. New “Active Maps” can be
downloaded during Modem Operation but this will result in a temporary disruption of service on
the terrestrial line or the Satellite transmission.
The following paragraphs give examples of typical configurations that could use the ROM Maps
as templates. The ROM Map used would have to be first copied to the appropriate Active
Transmit (Drop) and/or Active Receive (Insert) Map(s) before it could be used. To use a
modification of a ROM Map, the ROM Map must first be copied to the appropriate Edit Map, then
modified, and then copied to the appropriate Active Map.
Note: The mapping of channels to time slots is arbitrary; it is not necessary to map CH1 to
TS1, CH2 to TS2, etc. The channel to the time slot mapping may be in any order within the
constraints of the number of available channels.
For example, ROM Map 1 could be used as the template for as Active Transmit (Drop) Map for a
modulator configured for 64 Kbps operation. Only the first time slot of the T1 or E1 frame would
be dropped into the modulator transmit path. The Drop Multiplexer would know to look only at the
TM051 - Rev. 5.8

DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
first entry in the Active Transmit table and would ignore the other 29 entries. If the map contained
an “8” in its first entry, the eighth channel of the T1/E1 frame would be sent to the modulator.
ROM Map 2 could be used as the template for an Active Receive (Insert) Map for a demodulator
configured for 128 Kbps operation. The demodulated data in the receive path would be inserted
into the first two time slots of the T1 or E1 frame. The Insert Multiplexer would know to look only
at the first two entries in the Active Receive table and would ignore the other 28 entries. If the first
th
th
two entries were modified to contain a 27 and 28, the data would be inserted into the 27 and 28
time slots of the E1 frame.
ROM Map 3 could be used as the template for an Active Transmit (Drop) Map with a modulator

the demodulated data in the receive path would be dropped from and/or inserted into the first four
time slots of the T1 or E1 frame. The Multiplexer would know to look only at the first four entries
in the Active map(s) and would ignore the other 26 entries.
ROM Map 4 could be used as the template for an Active Transmit (Drop) or Active Receive

E1 Data in the transmit path or the demodulated data in the receive path would be dropped from

know to look only at the first six entries in the Active map(s) and would ignore the other 24 entries.
To Drop the last six channels of a T1 frame into a modulator transmit path, the first six entries of
the Active Transmit map should contain 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24.
ROM Map 5 could be used as the template for an Active Transmit (Drop) and/or Active Receive

look only at the first eight entries in the Active map(s) and would ignore the other 22 entries. To
insert data received from a demodulator into channels 17 through 24 of an E1 frame, the first
eight entries of the Active Receive map should contain 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24.
ROM Map 6 could be used as the template for an Active Transmit (Drop) and/or Active Receive
(Insert) Map with a modulator and/or demodulator configured for 768 Kbps operation. The T1 or
E1 Data in the transmit path or the demodulated data in the receive path would be dropped from
and or inserted into the first 12 time slots of the T1 or E1 frame. The Multiplexer would know to
look only at the first 12 entries in the Active map(s) and would ignore the other 18 entries. To
insert data received from a demodulator into channels 3 through 14 of an E1 frame, the first 12
entries of the Active Receive map should contain 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
ROM Map 7 could be used as the template for an Active Transmit (Drop) and/or Active Receive
(Insert) Map with a modulator and/or demodulator configured for 1920 Kbps operation. This
would be used with E1 frames where time slot 16 is not used for the multiframe alignment signal
and therefore channels 1 through 30 are mapped directly with time slots 1 through 30.
ROM Map 7 could also be used as the template for an Active Transmit (Drop) and/or Active
Receive (Insert) Map with a modulator and/or demodulator configured for 1024 Kbps operation.
This would be used with T1 or E1 frames where channels 1 through 16 are mapped into time slots
1 through 16 (in any order). Map slots 17 through 30 would be ignored.
ROM Map 7 could also be used as the template for an Active Transmit (Drop) and/or Active
Receive (Insert) Map with a modulator and/or demodulator configured for 1536 Kbps operation.
This would be used with T1 frames where channels 1 through 24 are mapped into time slots 1

4.8 Terminal Mode Control
The DMD15/DMD15L Terminal Mode Control allows the use of an external terminal or computer
to monitor and control the modem from a full screen interactive presentation operated by the
modem itself. No external software is required other than VT100 Terminal Emulation Software
(e.g. “Procomm” for a computer when used as a terminal. The Control Port is normally used as
an RS–232 Connection to the terminal device. The RS-232 operating parameters can be set
using the modem Front Panel and stored in EEPROM for future use.
4.8.1 Modem Terminal Mode Control
The modem can be interactively monitored and controlled in the Terminal Mode, with a full screen
presentation of current settings and status. Programming is accomplished by selecting the item to
be modified and pressing the terminal key of the option number. For example, to change the
transmit data rate, enter ‘33’ at the terminal. The modem will respond by presenting the options
available and requesting input. Two types of input may be requested. If the input is multiple
choice, the desired choice is selected by pressing the ‘Space’ key. When the desired option is
displayed, press the ‘Enter’ key to select that option. The other possible input type requires a
numerical input (such as entering a frequency or data rate. This type of input is followed by
pressing the ‘Enter’ or carriage return key. An input can be aborted at any time by pressing the
‘ESC’ key. Invalid input keys cause an error message to be displayed on the terminal.
The Terminal Control Mode supports serial baud rates of 150, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, and 38400. The connection must be set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity (8,N,1).
Three terminal emulations are supported: VT100, WYSE 50, and ADDS-VP.
“$” is used for setting the screen when the terminal is used is used for the first time or the nonvolatile memory gets reset.
4.8.2 Modem Setup for Terminal Mode
Terminal Mode Communications and Protocol is set from the Front Panel Control by setting the
“Control Mode” Parameter to “Terminal”, and then setting the “Modem Port”, “Term Baud” and
“Emulation” Parameters as desired. Then a terminal is connected to Connector J5 on the Back
Panel. All operating software for the Terminal Mode is contained within the DMD15/DMD15L
Modem Internal Control Software.
A “break” signal on the communications line, pressing “ESC” on the terminal or Power On of the
modem will initiate full screen terminal mode printing and redraw the full screen. The Terminal
Mode displays the present status of all user parameters controlled and read by the processor, and
offers a menu allowing change to any controlled parameter.
The Terminal Mode uses eight “Screens,” each of which have the basic contents of the three
modem monitor and control areas as set in the Front Panel matrix columns. This screen is used
for setting the parameters of the Modulator, Demodulator, Event, Alarm, Latched Alarm, Drop
Controls, Insert Controls, and Interface Areas.

4.9 Modem Remote Communications
4.9.1 Host Computer Remote Communications
NOTE: This specification is applicable to the DMD15, DMD10 and DMD10L Modems. Any
reference to the DMD15 in this document can be applicable to any one of these three
modems.
Control and status messages are conveyed between the DMD15 and the subsidiary modems and
the host computer using packetized message blocks in accordance with a proprietary
communications specification. This communication is handled by the Radyne Link Level Protocol
(RLLP), which serves as a protocol ‘wrapper’ for the RM&C data. Complete information on
monitor and control software is contained in the following sections.
4.9.1.1 Protocol Structure
The Communications Specification (COMMSPEC) defines the interaction of computer resident
Monitor and Control Software used in satellite earth station equipment such as modems,
redundancy switches, multiplexers, and other ancillary support gear. Communication is bidirectional, and is normally established on one or more full-duplex 9600-baud multi-drop control
buses that conform to EIA Standard RS-485.
Each piece of earth station equipment on a control bus has a unique physical address, which is
assigned during station setup/configuration or prior to shipment. Valid decimal addresses on one
control bus range from 032 through 255 for a total of up to 224 devices per bus. Address 255 of
each control bus is usually reserved for the M&C computer.
4.9.1.2 Protocol Wrapper
The Radyne COMMSPEC is byte-oriented, with the Least Significant Bit (LSB) issued first. Each
data byte is conveyed as mark/space information with two marks comprising the stop data. When
the last byte of data is transmitted, a hold comprises one steady mark (the last stop bit). To begin
or resume data transfer, a space (00h) substitutes this mark. This handling scheme is controlled
by the hardware and is transparent to the user. A pictorial representation of the data and its
surrounding overhead may be shown as follows:
S1
S2
B0
B1
B2
B3
B4
B5
B6
B7
S1
S2, etc.
The Stop Bits, S1 and S2, are each a mark. Data flow remains in a hold mode until S2 is replaced
by a space. If S2 is followed by a space, it is considered a start bit for the data byte and not part of
the actual data (B0 - B 7).
The COMMSPEC developed for use with the Radyne Link Level Protocol (RLLP) organizes the
actual monitor and control data within a shell, or ‘protocol wrapper’, that surrounds the data. The
format and structure of the COMMSPEC message exchanges are described herein. Decimal
numbers have no suffix; hexadecimal numbers end with a lower case ‘h’ suffix and binary values
have a lower case ‘b’ suffix. Thus, 22 = 16h = 000010110b. The principal elements of a data
frame, in order of occurrence, are summarized as follows:
:
The message format header character, or ASCII sync
character, that defines the beginning of a message. The
character value is always 16h.
:
The Byte Count is the number of bytes in the
field, ranging from 0 through 255 for the DMD5000
protocol (1 Byte), or ranging from 0 through 509 for the
DMD15 protocol (2 Bytes).

The Source Identifier defines the multi-drop address
origin.
Note: All nodes on a given control bus have a unique
address that must be defined.
:
The Destination Identifier serves as a pointer to the
multi-drop destination device that indicates where the
message is to be sent.
:
The Frame Sequence Number (FSN) is a tag with a
value from O through 255 that is sent with each
message. It assures sequential information framing and
correct equipment acknowledgment and data transfers.
:
The Operation Code field contains a number that
identifies the message type associated with the data that
follows it. Equipment under MCS control recognizes this
byte via firmware identification and subsequently steers
the DATA accordingly to perform a specific function or
series of functions. Acknowledgment and error codes are
returned in this field. 1 Byte for the DMD5000 protocol,
and 2 Bytes for the DMD15 protocol.
:
The Data field contains the binary, bi-directional data
bytes associated with the . The number of
data bytes in this field is indicated by the value.
:
The checksum is the modulo 256 sum of all preceding
message bytes, excluding the character. The
checksum determines the presence or absence of errors
within the message. In a message block with the
following parameters, the checksum is computed as
shown in Table 4-7.

Thus, the checksum is 00000101b; which is 05h or 5 decimal. Alternative methods of calculating
the checksum for the same message frame are:
00h + 02h + F0h + 2Ah + 09h + 00h + 03h + DFh + FEh = 305h.
Since the only concern is the modulo 256 (modulo 1 00h) equivalent (values that can be
represented by a single 8-bit byte), the checksum is 05h.
For a decimal checksum calculation, the equivalent values for each information field are:
0 + 2 + 240 + 42 + 9 + 0 + 3 + 223 + 254 = 773;
773/256 = 3 with a remainder of 5.
This remainder is the checksum for the frame.

4.9.1.3 Frame Description and Bus Handshaking
In a Monitor and Control environment, every message frame on a control bus port executes as a
packet in a loop beginning with a wait-for-SYNC-character mode. The remaining message format
header information is then loaded, either by the M&C computer or by a subordinate piece of
equipment (such as the DMD15) requesting access to the bus. Data is processed in accordance
with the OPCODE, and the checksum for the frame is calculated. If the anticipated checksum
does not match, then a checksum error response is returned to the message frame originator.
The entire message frame is discarded and the wait-for-SYNC mode goes back into effect. If the
OPCODE resides within a command message, it defines the class of action that denotes an
instruction that is specific to the device type, and is a prefix to the DATA field if data is required. If
the OPCODE resides within a query message packet, then it defines the query code, and can
serve as a prefix to query code DATA.
The Frame Sequence Number (FSN) is included in every message packet, and increments
sequentially. When the M & C computer or bus-linked equipment initiates a message, it assigns
the FSN as a tag for error control and handshaking. A different FSN is produced for each new
message from the FSN originator to a specific device on the control bus. If a command packet is
sent and not received at its intended destination, then an appropriate response message is not
received by the packet originator. The original command packet is then re-transmitted with the
same FSN. If the repeated message is received correctly at this point, it is considered a new
message and is executed and acknowledged as such.
If the command packet is received at its intended destination but the response message
(acknowledgment) is lost, then the message originator (usually the M&C computer) re-transmits
the original command packet with the same FSN. The destination device detects the same FSN
and recognizes that the message is a duplicate, so the associated commands within the packet
are not executed a second time. However, the response packet is again sent back to the source
as an acknowledgment in order to preclude undesired multiple executions of the same command.
To reiterate, valid equipment responses to a message require the FSN tag in the command
packet. This serves as part of the handshake/acknowledge routine. If a valid response message
is absent, then the command is re-transmitted with the same FSN. For a repeat of the same
command involving iterative processes (such as increasing or decreasing the transmit power level
of a DMD15 modulator), the FSN is incremented after each message packet. When the FSN
value reaches 255, it overflows and begins again at zero. The FSN tag is a powerful tool that
assures sequential information framing, and is especially useful where commands require more
than one message packet.
4-46
TM051 – Rev. 5.8
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
User Interfaces
The full handshake/acknowledgment involves a reversal of source and destination ID codes in the
next message frame, followed by a response code in the field of the message packet
from the equipment under control.
If a command packet is sent and not received at its intended destination, a timeout condition can
occur because a response message is not received by the packet originator. On receiving devices
slaved to an M & C computer, the timeout delay parameters may be programmed into the
equipment in accordance with site requirements by Radyne Corp. prior to shipment, or altered by
qualified personnel. The FSN handshake routines must account for timeout delays and be able to
introduce them as well.
4.9.1.4 Global Response Operational Codes
In acknowledgment (response) packets, the operational code field of the message
packet is set to 0 by the receiving devices when the message intended for the device is evaluated
as valid. The device that receives the valid message then exchanges the with the
, sets the to zero in order to indicate that a good message was
received, and returns the packet to the originator. This "GOOD MESSAGE" Opcode is one of nine
global responses. Global response opcodes are common responses, issued to the M&C
computer or to another device, that can originate from and are interpreted by all Radyne
equipment in the same manner. These are summarized as follows (all opcode values are
expressed in decimal form):

4.9.1.5 Collision Avoidance
When properly implemented, the physical and logical devices and ID addressing scheme of the
COMMSPEC normally precludes message packet contention on the control bus. The importance
of designating unique IDs for each device during station configuration cannot be overemphasized.
One pitfall, which is often overlooked, concerns multi-drop override IDs. All too often, multiple
devices of the same type are assigned in a direct-linked ("single-thread") configuration accessible
to the M&C computer directly.
For example, if two DMD15 Modems with different addresses (DESTINATION IDs) are linked to
the same control bus at the same hierarchical level, both will attempt to respond to the M&C
computer when the computer generates a multi-drop override ID of 22. If their actual setup
parameters, status, or internal timing differs, they will both attempt to respond to the override
simultaneously with different information or asynchronously in their respective message packets
and response packets, causing a collision on the serial control bus.
To preclude control bus data contention, different IDs must always be assigned to the equipment.
If two or more devices are configured for direct-linked operation, then the M&C computer and all
other devices configured in the same manner must be programmed to inhibit broadcast of the
corresponding multi-drop override ID.
The multi-drop override ID is always accepted by devices of the same type on a common control
bus, independent of the actual DESTINATION ID. These override IDs with the exception of
“BROADCAST” are responded to by all directly-linked devices of the same type causing
contention on the bus. The “BROADCAST” ID, on the other hand, is accepted by all equipment
but none of then returns a response packet to the remote M&C.

Note that multi-drop override IDs 01 or 02 can be used interchangeably to broadcast a message
to a DMD-3000/4000 modem, or to a DMD-4500/5000, or to a DMD15 modem. Radyne Corp.
recommends that the multi-drop override IDs be issued only during system configuration as a bus
test tool by experienced programmers, and that they not be included in run-time software. It is
also advantageous to consider the use of multiple bus systems where warranted by a moderate to
large equipment complement.
Therefore, if a DMD15 Modulator is queried for its equipment type identifier, it will return a "20"
and DMD15 Demodulator will return a "21". A DMD15 Modem will also return a "22".

4.9.1.6 Software Compatibility
The COMMSPEC, operating in conjunction within the RLLP shell, provides for full forward and
backward software compatibility independent of the software version in use. New features are
appended to the end of the DATA field without OPCODE changes. Older software simply discards
the data as extraneous information without functional impairment for backward compatibility.
If new device-resident or M&C software receives a message related to an old software version,
new information and processes are not damaged or affected by the omission of data.
The implementation of forward and backward software compatibility often, but not always,
requires the addition of new Opcodes. Each new function requires a new Opcode assignment if
forward and backward compatibility cannot be attained by other means.
When Radyne , Inc. equipment is queried for bulk information (Query Mod, Query Demod, etc.) it
responds by sending back two blocks of data; a Non-Volatile Section (parameters that can be
modified by the user) and a Volatile Section (status information). It also returns a count value that
indicates the size of the Non-Volatile Section. This count is used by M&C developers to index into
the start of the Volatile Section.
When new features are added to Radyne equipment, the control parameters are appended to the
end of the Non-Volatile Section, and status of the features, if any, are added at the end of the
Volatile Section. If a remote M&C queries two pieces of Radyne equipment with different revision
software, they may respond with two different sized packets. The remote M&C MUST make use
of the non-volatile count value to index to the start of the Volatile Section. If the remote M&C is not
aware of the newly added features to the Radyne product, it should disregard the parameters at
the end of the Non-Volatile Section and index to the start of the Volatile Section.
If packets are handled in this fashion, there will also be backward-compatibility between Radyne ,
Inc. equipment and M&C systems. Remote M&C systems need not be modified every time a
feature is added unless the user needs access to that feature.
4.9.1.7 Flow Control and Task Processing
The original packet sender (the M&C Computer) relies on accurate timeout information with
regard to each piece of equipment under its control. This provides for efficient bus communication
without unnecessary handshake overhead timing. One critical value is designated the Inter-Frame
Space (FS). The Inter-Frame Space provides a period of time in which the packet receiver and
medium (control bus and M&C Computer interface) fully recover from the packet
transmission/reception process and the receiver is ready to accept a new message. The
programmed value of the Inter-Frame Space should be greater than the sum of the "turnaround
time" and the round-trip (sender/receiver/bus) propagation time, including handshake overhead.
The term "turnaround time" refers to the amount of time required for a receiver to be re-enabled
and ready to receive a packet after having just received a packet. In flow control programming,
the Inter-Frame Space may be determined empirically in accord with the system configuration, or
calculated based on established maximum equipment task processing times.

User Interfaces
DMD15/DMD15L IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Each piece of supported equipment on the control bus executes a Radyne Link Level Task
(RLLT) in accordance with its internal hardware and fixed program structure. In a flow control
example, the RLLT issues an internal "message in" system call to invoke an I/0 wait condition that
persists until the task receives a command from the M & C computer. The RLLT has the option of
setting a timeout on the incoming message. Thus, if the equipment does not receive an
information/command packet within a given time period, the associated RLLT exits the I/0 wait
state and takes appropriate action.
Radyne equipment is logically linked to the control bus via an Internal I/O Processing Task (IOPT)
to handle frame sequencing, error checking, and handshaking. The IOPT is essentially a link
between the equipment RLLT and the control bus. Each time the M&C computer sends a
message packet, the IOPT receives the message and performs error checking. If errors are
absent, the IOPT passes the message to the equipment's RLLT. If the IOPT detects errors, it
appends error messages to the packet. Whenever an error occurs, the IOPT notes it and discards
the message; but it keeps track of the incoming packet. Once the packet is complete, the IOPT
conveys the appropriate message to the RLLT and invokes an I/0 wait state (wait for next
character).
If the RLLT receives the packetized message from the sender before it times out, it checks for any
error messages appended by the IOPT. In the absence of errors, the RLLT processes the
received command sent via the transmitted packet and issues a "message out" system call to
ultimately acknowledge the received packet. This call generates the response packet conveyed to
the sender. If the IOPT sensed errors in the received packet and an RLLT timeout has not
occurred, the RLLT causes the equipment to issue the appropriate error message(s) in the
pending equipment response frame.
To maintain frame synchronization, the IOPT keeps track of error-laden packets and packets
intended for other equipment for the duration of each received packet. Once the packet is
complete, the IOPT invokes an I/0 wait state and searches for the next character.
4.9.1.8 RLLP Summary
The RLLP is a simple send-and-wait protocol that automatically re-transmits a packet whenever
an error is detected, or when an acknowledgment (response) packet is absent.
During transmission, the protocol wrapper surrounds the actual data to form information packets.
Each transmitted packet is subject to time out and frame sequence control parameters, after
which the packet sender waits for the receiver to convey its response. Once a receiver verifies
that a packet sent to it is in the correct sequence relative to the previously received packet, it
computes a local checksum on all information within the packet excluding the character
and the fields. If this checksum matches the packet , the receiver
processes the packet and responds to the packet sender with a valid response (acknowledgment)
packet. If the checksum values do not match, the receiver replies with a negative
acknowledgment (NAK) in its response frame.
The response packet is therefore either an acknowledgment that the message was received
correctly, or some form of a packetized NAK frame. If the sender receives a valid
acknowledgment (response) packet from the receiver, the increments and the next packet
is transmitted as required by the sender. However, if a NAK response packet is returned the
sender re-transmits the original information packet with the same embedded .
If an acknowledgment (response) packet or a NAK packet is lost, corrupted, or not issued due to
an error and is thereby not returned to the sender, the sender re-transmits the original information
packet; but with the same . When the intended receiver detects a duplicate packet, the
packet is acknowledged with a response packet and internally discarded to preclude undesired
repetitive executions. If the M&C computer sends a command packet and the corresponding
response packet is lost due to a system or internal error, the computer times out and re-transmits

4.9.2 Remote Port Packet Structure:
The Modem protocol is an enhancement on the DMD5000 protocol. It also uses a packet
structure format. The structure is as follows:
:
Message format header character that defines the
beginning of a message. The character value is
always 0x16 (1 byte).
:
The number of bytes in the field (2 bytes).
:
Identifies the address of the equipment from where the
message originated (1 byte).
:
Identifies the address of the equipment where the
message is to be sent (1 byte).
:
Frame sequence number ensures correct packet
acknowledgment and data transfers (1 byte).
:
This byte identifies the message type associated with the
information data. The equipment processes the data
according to the value in this field. Return error codes and
acknowledgment are also included in this field (2 bytes).
<...DATA...>:
Information data. The number of data bytes in this field is
indicated by the value.
:
The modulo 256 sum of all preceding message bytes
excluding the character (1 byte).
The Modem RLLP is not software-compatible with the following previous Radyne
products: RCU5000 and DMD4500. These products may not occupy the same
bus while using this protocol as equipment malfunction and loss of data may
occur.
NOTE: When transmitting a packet at 9600 baud, the Remote M&C should
ensure that the timeout value between characters does not exceed the time it
takes to transmit 200 characters(| 200 msec). If this timeout value is exceeded,
the equipment will timeout.

Maintenance
Section 6 – Maintenance
6.0 Periodic Maintenance
The DMD15/DMD15L modulator requires no periodic field maintenance procedures. Should a
unit be suspected of a defect in field operations after all interface signals are verified, the correct
procedure is to replace the unit with another known working DMD15/DMD15L. If this does not
cure the problem, wiring or power should be suspect.
There is no external fuse on the DMD15/DMD15L. The fuse is located on the power supply
assembly inside the case, and replacement is not intended in the field.
6.1 Troubleshooting
The following is a brief list of possible problems that could be caused by failures of the modem or
by improper setup and configuration for the type of service. The list is arranged by possible
symptoms exhibited by the modem.
Symptom: The Modem will not acquire the incoming carrier:
Possible Cause: Improper receive input to modem.
Action: Check that the receive cabling is correct.
Possible Cause: Receive carrier level too low.
Action: Check that the receive cabling is correct, that the downconverter is properly set and that
the LNA is turned on. If a spectrum analyzer is available, locate and measure the receive level,
which should not be below -65 dBm absolute, -50 dBm is nominal.
Possible Cause: Receive carrier frequency outside of acquisition range.
Action: Check that the receive acquisition range is adequate for the possible system offsets.
Setting the value to 30 kHz is a standard value encompassing all normal offsets. After
acquisition, the actual receive frequency can be read from the Front Panel.
Possible Cause: Transmit carrier incompatible.
Action: Check the receive parameter settings and ensure that they match those on the
modulator.
Possible Cause: Modem is in Test Mode.
Action: Check the modem Front Panel for yellow warning LEDs indicating a Test Mode is
enabled. Self-Test or IF Loopback disconnects the Demodulator from the IF receive input
connector.
Symptom: The Async Port is not configured correctly.
Action: Refer to Section 5.8 to correctly set switches for correct configuration.
6.2 DMD15/DMD15L Fault Philosophy
The DMD15/DMD15L performs a high degree of self-monitoring and fault isolation. The alarms
are separated into three categories; Active Alarms, Common Equipment Alarms, and Latched
Alarms. In addition, a feature exists that allows the user to ‘Mask’ out certain Alarms as explained
below. Alarms that are recorded in the event buffer are the same as the alarm buffer.
TM051 - Rev. 5.8
6-1
Maintenance
DMD15/DMD15L/DMD15/DMD15LL/DMD15/DMD15LIBS/IDR Satellite Modem
Masking alarms can cause undesirable modem performance.
6.2.1 Alarm Masks
The user has the capability to ‘Mask’ individual alarms on the DMD15/DMD15L. When an Alarm
is masked, the Front Panel LEDs and the Fault Relays do not get asserted, but the Alarm will still
be displayed. This feature is very helpful during debugging or to lock out a failure that the user is
already aware of.
6.2.2 Active Alarms
6.2.2.1 Major Alarms
Major alarms indicate a modem hardware failure. Major alarms may flash briefly during modem
configuration changes and during power-up but should not stay illuminated. Alarms are grouped
into Transmit alarms and Receive alarms - Transmit and Receive are completely independent.
6.2.2.2 Minor Alarms
Minor alarms indicate that a problem may persist outside the modem such as loss of Terrestrial
Clock, loss of terrestrial data activity, or a detected transmit or receive AIS condition.
Alarms are grouped into Transmit Alarms and Receive Alarms - Transmit and Receive are
completely independent.
6.2.2.3 Latched Alarms
Latched alarms are used to catch intermittent failures. If a fault occurs, the fault indication will be
latched even if the alarm goes away. After the modem is configured and running, it is
recommended that the latched alarms be cleared as a final step.
6.3 DMD15/DMD15L Fault Tree Matrices
Tables 6-1 through 6-3 represent, in matrix form, the faults that may occur within the
DMD15/DMD15L. There are three matrices: Interface/Common Equipment Faults, Tx Faults and
Rx Faults.

The first vertical column in the Tables represents the various Faults that the modem may identify.
The top horizontal column indicates the various actions that the modem will undertake. These
actions may be in the form of a relay, a switch or an LED.
