3. Terminal Base Address (TBA) Management
a. All DAMA capable terminals must have a valid, unique TBA to operate in a
DAMA network. A TBA identifies the radio on the DAMA network and in the DAMA
controllers at the SMC. TBAs cannot be shared by terminals in a DAMA network. A
TBA functions in a DAMA network much like an IP address functions in a computer
network. For those radios with more than one port, additional addresses are required
and known as port addresses. Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR)
Charleston, South Carolina assigns these port addresses based on the type of terminal
for which the unit requests an address. Joint UHF MILSATCOM DAMA maintains a
list of all TBAs in the call directory, fleet satellite communications system (FSCS)-211-
80-29-2. This directory may be downloaded periodically from SPAWAR’s Charleston,
South Carolina Web site, http://sscc.spawar.navy.mil/ or contact SPAWAR’s
