Series Multichannel MPEG-2/H.264 Encoder/Multiplexer with QAM &/or IP Output - Installation & Operation Manual
◦
Enable Multicast – When selected, the Gigabit Ethernet Card will not attempt to find the destination IP
address with ARP before transmission begins.
•
Protocol Settings:
◦
Encapsulation – The encapsulation type that is used for the TS data transmission.
◦
Number of TS Packets Per Frame – how many TS packets will be used in each Ethernet frame.
◦
Enable Pro-MPEG FEC – enables the Pro MPEG forward error correction.
◦
L Value, D Value – FEC Parameters.
◦
Col Port – port number to use for transmission of FEC column data.
◦
Row Port – port number to use for transmission of FEC row data.
◦
Use Col FEC Only – use only Column FEC for the FEC.
◦
Interleaving Mode – which interleaving mode to use for the FEC.

IP Output Configuration
11.6.1 SFP 1 Info.
This is where the GUI will report if there is an SFP installed in SFP Slot 1. If there is
no SFP it will say “Not Connected”.
11.6.2 SFP 2 Info.
This is where the GUI will report if there is an SFP installed in SFP Slot 2. If there is no SFP it will say “Not Connected”.
11.6.3 MAC Address:
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier assigned to network adapters or network interface cards (NICs)
by the manufacturer to uniquely identify them on a LAN. It is used to identify the GbE Card on the network to a DHCP server
and to other computers. It is hard coded into the GbE Card at the factory and cannot be changed. This is the Mac Address for
all four output ports, collectively, of the Gigabit Ethernet Card. If DHCP is used, this is the address to use for a reservation in
the DHCP server for the video output device.
11.6.4 Firmware Version:
The firmware version installed on the Gigabit Ethernet card - for information only.
11.7 Source IP Settings
This section sets the physical IP address configuration for the SFP and Electrical
Ethernet ports. All ports are replicated in an integrated switch, so there is only one IP
address assigned to all of the physical ports collectively.
11.7.1 IP Address:
A static IP address may be specified here that is assigned to the Ethernet ports, collectively. Only one address may be
assigned and this will be the source address that is reported in the resulting unicast or multicast streams.
11.7.2 Subnet Mask:
If a static IP address is assigned, enter the subnet mask for the entered network address.
11.7.3 Source Port: [1-65535]
This is the source port number that may be assigned to the Ethernet ports, collectively. Only one port may be assigned and
this will be the
Source Port
that is reported in the resulting unicast or multicast streams.
11.7.4 Enable DHCP Client:
The Ethernet card supports DHCP Client Mode on the Gigabit ports separately from the unit’s management port. This option
enables the DHCP client on the Gigabit Card Ethernet ports only. Only a single address will be requested from the DHCP
server. The source port will still need to be assigned even if DHCP client is enabled since DHCP will not assign a port number.
When DHCP client is enabled, the IP address that is reported in the greyed out IP address and subnet settings above do not
reflect the actual IP address obtained. If that information is required, the DHCP server should be consulted, looking for the
address that was assigned to the MAC address shown above.
