IP LAN
The SEL‐1DEC1 and SEL‐1DEC2 IP LANs communicate with external IP networks via the Data ports on the
primary and secondary frame controller. If your decoder will use data Ethernet from external sources,
you will need to set the Primary and Secondary IP addresses for the decoder; these IP addresses will be
unique to this decoder module.
When configuring the decoder via the Block Diagram View of the GUI, the following parameters are
accessed via the block labeled IP LAN. When configuring the decoder via the All (tree) View of the GUI,
the following parameters are accessed via the Control > IP LAN branch of the tree.
General
Data Ethernet Protection
Use this parameter to specify whether the Primary or Secondary Ethernet interface should be used for
IP input or alternately, select Automatic protection switching. If enabled, Seamless Protection can be
selected using the Data Ethernet Protection drop down menu.
Primary and Secondary Data Ethernet
Use these controls to set the Primary and Secondary IP Address, IP Mask, IP Gateway, and VLAN ID,
and to observe the Primary/Secondary Data Eth MAC addresses. Press Apply to enable the changes.
There are no default IP addresses for the decoder module.
Transport Stream Input
General
Primary Source and Alternate Source
The transport stream input signal can originate from external ASI connections (EXT ASI 1 and—for DEC2
only, EXT ASI 2), an internal IP network (CXN) or an external Ethernet (Ext IP). To enable the external
Ethernet as a source, you must enter the Primary or Secondary IP address. The Alternate Source
provides a backup in the event of a loss of signal from the Primary Source. (To provide an alternate
source for IP inputs, see Data Ethernet Protection (on page 20) above.) In Seamless Protection mode,
the two IP stream addresses are entered in the Primary and Secondary IP address fields.
