Port Name: All BBG-1090-TRX-MPEG ports have a user-defined name, to facilitate
routing. Enter any suitable name.
•
Mode: controls the type of MPEG-2 transport packets generated. The options are:
o
Disabled: TPG is disabled. No packets are being generated.
o
NULL Packets: TPG is generating NULL packets. If you select this option, the
PID parameter becomes read-only with the value 1FFF.
o
Ramp48 Packets: TPG is generating packets with a “Ramp48 Payload”. A
“Ramp48 Payload” is composed of the bytes 0x48, 0x49, 0x4A, …, 0xFF.
Generated packets have the Payload bit set, no Adaptation Field, and a valid
Continuity Counter field. On request, Cobalt can supply a test program for
Windows or Linux that receives the Ramp48 packets and checks them.
o
PCR Packets: TPG is generating packets with a valid PCR field (stamped
corresponding to the packet’s departure time at the configured bit rate). The
packets have a small payload with random data, so the Continuity Counter field is
valid and counting.
•
PID: controls the PID of the generated packets. This field accepts both decimal and
hexadecimal values (prefixed with 0x).
•
Bit Rate (bps): controls the bit rate of the generated packets. The minimum value is
64,000 bps and the maximum value is 213,000,000 bps.
Admin License Keys Tab
The BBG-1090-TRX-MPEG has a number of optional licensable features. The Admin License
Keys Tab is used to manage these features. Using this tab, you can see how many licenses you
have for each optional feature, and how many you are currently using.
The BBG-1090-TRX-MPEG has the concept of a temporary license. If you want to try out a
certain feature, contact Cobalt. You will receive a license key that enables that feature for a
specific period of running time (license time does not “count” when the card is off).
The Admin License Keys Tab includes a License Status table, and a configuration area, as shown
below. The table rows are license counts, and the columns correspond to different licensable
features. The rows are:
•
Permanent Licenses: This is the number of non-expiring licenses for each feature.
•
Temporary Licenses: This is the number of temporary licenses for each feature. Once
the license period expires, they are removed.
•
Total Licenses: This is the total number of licenses for each feature. It is simply the sum
of the permanent and temporary licenses.
•
Used Licenses: This is the number of licenses in use for each feature by the current card
configuration.
If you have temporary licenses, the Time Remaining field indicates how long until they expire.
If you do not have temporary licenses, this field has the message “No active temporary licenses”.
