Example: In a message from Controller-to-Target, IG1=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/yy means set the GE Port IP address to
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/yy
? This character is used as the Query Operator (QO). It establishes that the Instruction Code that precedes it is to be used
(ASCII code 63) as a query that returns the Targets current configured parameter setting or operational value.
Example: From Controller-to-Target, IG1? means whats the current GE Port IP address?
FromTargettoController,theonlypermittedcharactersare:
Character Definition
= This character is used in two ways:
(ASCII code 61) a. If the Controller sends a query to the Target for example, IG1? (meaning whats current GE Port IP address?) the
Target responds with IG1= aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/yy, the value for that queried parameter.
b. If the Controller sends an instruction to set a parameter to a particular value, and the value sent is valid, the Target
acknowledges the message and responds with IG1= (with no message arguments).
? If the Controller sends an instruction to set a parameter to a particular value, and the value sent is not valid, the Target then
(ASCII code 63) acknowledges the message and responds with, for example, SRC? (with no message arguments). This indicates that there
was an error in the message sent by the Controller.
66
CDM-840 Remote Router Revision 1
Serial-based Remote Product Management MN-CDM840
Character Definition
! If the Controller sends an instruction code that the Target does not recognize, the Target responds by echoing the invalid
(ASCII code 33) instruction, followed by !
Example: ABC!
* If the Controller sends the command to set a parameter to a particular value, and the value sent is valid BUT the router will
(ASCII code 42) not permit that particular parameter to be changed at present, the Target acknowledges the message and responds with,
for example, MLC* (with message arguments).
# If the Controller sends a correctly formatted command, BUT the unit is not in Remote Mode, it does not allow
(ASCII code 35) reconfiguration and responds, for example, with MLC#.

Onthereceive(Rx)side,theCDM840operateswitherrorcorrectionbaseduponthe
DVBS2 standard for QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK and 32APSK with concatenated Low Density
ParityCode(LDPC)andBoseChaudhuriHocquenghem(BCH).
Onthetransmit(Tx)sideoftheCDM840,acompletelynewfamilyofshortblockLDPC
codes called VersaFEC is used. A patentspending technology wholly owned and

Appendix B MN-CDM840
TheerrorcorrectingcapabilityofLDPCisimprovedbyusinglargeblocksizes.Largeblocksizes
can increase latency in low bit rate applications (typically less than 2Mbps). In oneway
broadcast applications this is not a drawback. Links with LDPC normally operate at multi
megabitdatarateswherelatencyeffectsareminimal.ThestandardblocksizeforLDPCis64,800

B.2.2 BER, QEF, Eb/No, Es/No Spectral Efficiency, and Occupied Bandwidth
Depending upon the operating mode, the DVB standard uses different modes of specifying
performancewithaunitinIFLoopandAdditiveWhiteGaussianNoise(AWGN):
DVBS2 standard: "Quasi Error Free" (QEF) is defined as "less than one uncorrected
erroreventpertransmissionhouratthelevelofa5Mbit/ssingleTVservicedecoder",
approximately corresponding to a Transport Stream Packet Error Ratio equal to a
PER<107 before demultiplexer. A packet is defined as block of 188 byte MPEG frame
sizedata.
Es/Novs. Eb/No: TheDVBS2standard commonly refers tothe useof Es/No insteadof
Eb/No.Whenlinksoperateataconstantsymbolratethisisagoodmethodforcomparing
theperformanceofdifferentmodulationtypesandcoderates.
Therelationbetweenthetwoquantitiesisgivenby:
Eb/No = Es/No 10log(Spectral Efficiency)

* Taken at the -10 dB points on the plot of power spectral density, the occupied bandwidth is 1.19 x Symbol
