1OVERVIEW
The CorDES Network Adapter (CDNA-041G) provides network packet to serial translation to
facilitate easy integration of two KIV-7M Gryphon or RTN-14 enabled End Cryptographic Units
(ECUs) into modern Ethernet/IP based satellite control networks. Additionally, the chassis
provides rack mount and redundant auto-failover AC/DC power conversion in a high-availability,
compact 2 RU form factor. The chassis mounts in a standard 19-inch telecommunications rack.
The front panel faceplate is easily removed with five thumb screws allowing the ECUs to slide in
through the front of the chassis for easy installation.
The CDNA-041G provides access to all the ECU data and management interfaces via rear
panel cut outs, for a total of 4 Channels. Redundant hot-swappable autosensing power supplies
provide AC to DC conversion. Two rear panel power supply DC connectors provide the power
connections to the ECU Units.

2OPERATIONAL CONCEPT
The CDNA-041G is designed to support simple integration of the ECUs into a modern satellite
ground system with Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The CDNA converts the ECU serial interfaces
to TCP/IP to facilitate networking. Figure 1 shows the notional integration of the CDNA in a
physical network, while Figure 2 shows the notional integration of the CDNA is a virtualized
environment.

Figure 2 Virtual Network Device Stack
A CDNA Dataplane Application Programming Interface (API) is available to support CDNA
compatible packet generation as defined in the CDNA-041G Data Plane Interface Control
Document. A customized CDNA header or fixed bypass header (described in Reference A)
enables packet level header bypass (Figure 3). The header also enables ECU key and
cryptographic mode agility in a future release.
