3 QUICK SETUP GUIDE
This quick setup guide is intended to provide a step-by-step explanation of how to setup the VB7880
once the initial setup has been performed (as described in chapter 2). More detailed instructions are
found in chapter 5 of this manual.
3.1
Basic Setup
1. Set appropriate parameters in the
Setup — Params
view.
2. If access control is required, define a password in the
Setup — Login
view. Note that it is important
to read the instructions in the associated section of this manual.
3.2
Input Signal Definitions
Multicasts
1. Define multicasts, either by defining multicasts from scratch (
Multicasts — Streams
) or by
importing a multicast list exported from another VB7880 or probe. Note that the sequence of the
multicast definitions will be reflected in monitoring, so order the multicasts correctly if required.
2. Join multicasts in the
Multicasts — Join
view.
OTT
1. Define OTT channels (
OTT — Channels
).
3.3
Monitoring
When input signal parameters have been set, the signals may be monitored. For Ethernet multicasts the
relevant monitoring views are:
Main
,
Alarms
,
Multicasts
and
RVW
. OTT traffic monitoring is displayed
in the
OTT — Thumbnails
view (
OTT — Active testing
if the appropriate license is installed).
