INTRODUCTION
Front-Panel OLED
The front-panel OLED display gives basic status indication. Together with the adjacent knob, it lets you enter IP
values during initial setup.
Initial Start-Up
From the moment you plug Zephyr iPort PLUS in until it boots up takes just a minute or so. Once it is booted, you
will see a screen that tells you the status of the power supplies, ambient temperature, and status of Livewire and
Ethernet connections.
Configuring Zephyr iPort PLUS
Initial Network Configuration
Make your initial settings of the IP address using the front-panel OLED display and jog/select wheel. This front
panel configuration controls the Ethernet port marked “Livewire” on the rear panel. Set this to an IP address
compatible with your Livewire network. Also set the proper Netmask address. (typically 255.255.255.0). Be
sure to highlight and click the checkmark at the right-hand side of each IP address field. It is not necessary to set a
Gateway address for the Livewire network, unless you plan to use dual-network parallel streaming.
You may complete the rest of the setup and configuration using a web browser, as we discuss below. Alternately, if
you have iProbe installed on your system (purchased separately), you can use it to remotely access Zephyr iPort
PLUS in order to get source info, perform firmware updates, do the configuration, and backup/restore configura-
tion files. Visit the Telos website for more information about iProbe.
After you have made your initial settings via the front-panel OLED, connect a PC to the iPort, either using a
cross-connect cable, or through an Ethernet switch.
Web Interface
Zephyr iPort PLUS contains a Web server to support a PC with Web browser for configuration and control. We’ve
fully tested it with Firefox, and to a lesser extent, Internet Explorer and Chrome. Other browsers may work as well,
but we can’t guarantee it. Java must be installed in your browser so that dynamic functions such as sensitive pieces
of the web cfg pages work properly.
Point your browser to the iPort by entering the unit’s IP address, like this:
http://192.168.1.7
You will be asked for a username and password. The defaults are:
♦
User name: user
♦
Password: <blank>
Next, you will see a top-level menu with the following links:
♦
Codec configuration - Enable / disable codec instances, assign Livewire channels and link addresses, set
options, display status.
♦
V-Mixer and V-mode - Display virtual mixer and V-Mode module settings.
♦
Stream Statistics - Display incoming stream performance statistics.
♦
Network - Set host name, IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address.
♦
System - Display system and network status. Configuration backup / restore / reset to factory defaults.
Firmware setup. Restart.
♦
