ONFIGURATION
The Appear DAB/DAB+ modulator is a professional broadcast solution for providing digital radio services in cable
networks. It is a high-density modulator capable of DAB/DAB+ transmissions in Band III, from 174 MHz to 260
MHz.
Please note that the DAB modulator does not include a DAB multiplexer, so the DAB
multiplexes (also known as DAB ensembles) must be generated outside the Appear chassis.

to select the VLAN used.
IP
The destination IP address of the unicast or multicast carrying the EDI
stream.
UDP port
The destination UDP port of the unicast or multicast carrying the EDI
stream.
Source IP filtering
Set the IGMPv3 source-specific multicast (SSM) address. If unchecked, any
multicast source will be allowed
Label
Internal display name of the source. Use the label field as a
convenient way of keeping track of the different DAB multiplex
names.
