Unlike the iDirect modems with their remotely configured options files, the STM modems are configured onsite, via a built in web interface, or terminal comand line via telnet or serial port. It can be quite a challenge to make sure that your forward links, ODU, and IP configuration are correct, but once configured, the modems do work extremely well.

No fault of the modem, but there does seem to be more room for human error with this parameter-by-parameter approach, unless you have a clear list of the required comands to enter, and instructions to verify the final configuration.

The automatic beam switching function is very quick and efficient, and does not have the five-minute-per-beam delay of some other modems during blockage situations. When the modem loses the link, it rapidly switches and scans thorough the configured beams, until it finds a forwardlink lock.
