This section provides a practical way to configure an entire COM2000 system with minimal
effort. In order to use this feature, you can start by copying and pasting the information provided
at the bottom of the browser page (below the Submit Query button) either directly into the text
field provided or into your text editor of choice, and then modifying it as indicated by the guide
comments located above the text field. Examples are provided below to help you understand how
to utilize this feature.
Note: Saving a copy of the tuning table for your entire system in the form of a text file is
recommended, just in case the settings are not fully restored after a system reset.
The lines in the tuning table take the following form (see Section 1.1 for more on tuning):
Chassis-Slot-Tuner, IP_Address:Port_Number, Major_Number-Minor_Number-
Security_Mode;
The sample line below indicates the 1st tuner of a card residing in Slot #4 of Chassis #2. It is
targeting Port 301 of the device residing at the IP address 192.168.4.245, and tuned to the HD
broadcast of channel 242 with Pro:Idiom encryption set.
2-4-1, 192.168.4.245:301, 242-65535-1;
Upon initial system startup, your table might look something like this:
Current Tuning Table
1-1-1, 192.168.0.0:0, 0-0-0;
1-1-2, 192.168.0.0:0, 0-0-0;
1-1-3, 192.168.0.0:0, 0-0-0;
1-1-4, 192.168.0.0:0, 0-0-0;
1-1-5, 192.168.0.0:0, 0-0-0;
1-1-6, 192.168.0.0:0, 0-0-0;
1-1-7, 192.168.0.0:0, 0-0-0;
1-1-8, 192.168.0.0:0, 0-0-0;
After modifying the data to meet your system needs, it might look something like this:
Current Tuning Table
1-1-1, 192.168.4.245:6401, 3-65535-1;
1-1-2, 192.168.4.245:6402, 10-65535-1;
1-1-3, 192.168.4.245:6403, 29-65535-1;
1-1-4, 192.168.4.245:6657, 6-65535-1;
1-1-5, 192.168.4.245:6658, 17-65535-1;
1-1-6, 192.168.4.245:6659, 259-65535-1;
1-1-7, 192.168.4.245:6913, 209-65535-1;
1-1-8, 192.168.4.245:6914, 276-65535-1;
After editing the tuning table, you simply need to copy and paste this information into the large
field provided by the TuneAll command, and then click Submit Query.
If you are using a QAM6 Card, you can also use the syntax of Channel[hd|sd] -> QamMajor-
QamMinor
