SDM-9000 Satellite Modem Installation and Operation Manual Part Number MN/SDM9000.IOM Revision 4 Errata A Comtech EFData Documentation Update Subject: Added 8PSK and 16QAM information Date: June 6, 2000 Document: SDM-9000 Satellite Modem Installation and Operation Manual Part Number MN/SDM9000.IOM Rev. 4 dated May 5, 1997 Part Number: MN/SDM9000.EA4 Collating Instructions: Attach this page to page 1-16 Comments: The following changes provide updated information for Section 1.4.3, Table 1-4, Figures 1-6 and 1-7. This information will be incorporated into the next revision. Change Specifics: 1.4.3 8PSK and 16QAM (Viterbi Decoder and Reed-Solomon Codec) -6 The 8PSK and 16QAM specifications for the Eb/N0 required to achieve 10 to 10-9 BER with the Viterbi decoder and Reed-Solomon Codec are shown in Table 1-4. Refer to Figures 1-6 (8PSK) and 1-7 (16QAM) for the BER curves with the Reed-Solomon option.

Open network meets IESS-308 QPSK operation, using a 4-deep interleaver. Closed networks run different Reed-Solomon parameters. A longer code word and an 8-deep interleaver is used, resulting in better performance. 10-2 10-3 10-4 10-5 10-6 8 Mbit/s, 8 Mbit/s, 8PSK w/IDR 8PSK w/IDR BER 10-7 10-8 10-9 2/3 RATE 5/6 RATE 10-10 SPECIFICATIONS 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0 11.0 E /N (dB) b 0 Figure 1-6. 8PSK BER Performance Curves (with Reed-Solomon) Filename: T_ERRATA 2 8 Mbit/s, w/ IDR Figure 1-7. 16QAM BER Performance Curves (with Reed-Solomon) Filename: T_ERRATA 3 Errata B Comtech EFData Documentation Update Subject: Changes to Note in Section 2.4.10, Alarms Date: January 19, 2001 Document: SDM-9000 Satellite Data Modem Installation and Operation Manual, Rev. 4, dated May 5, 1997 Part Number: MN/SDM9000.EB4 Collating Instructions: Attach this page to page 2-15 Comments: The following changes provide updated information for page 2-15. This information will be incorporated into the next revision. Change Specifics: 2.4.10 Alarms (J10) The alarms connector is used to provide three Form C contact closures for alarm reporting, as follows: • Alarm 1 = Not used • Alarm 2 = TX • Alarm 3 = RX The two Form C summary fault contacts currently used are: • Transmit alarm (Alarm 2) • Receive alarm (Alarm 3) Refer to Chapter 4 for a discussion of alarms monitored. To obtain a system summary alarm, connect all the Form C contacts in parallel. The alarms connection is a 9-pin female D connector located on the rear panel of the modem. Screw locks are provided for mechanical security on the mating connector. Pin # Signal Function Name 1 NO 2 Alarm 1 COM 3 NC 4 NO 5 Alarm 2 COM 6 NC 7 NO 8 Alarm 3 COM 9 NC Note: A connection between the common (COM) and normally closed (NC) contacts indicates no alarm.
