Figure 54 - COM3000 EPG Page

Following is a brief explanation of each field available on the

EPG

page as shown above:

➢

DestIP - This field represents the IP address of the device you wish to send the EPG data to.
Typically, this will be the IP address of the QAM20 card you are going to use for the EPG
channel.

Note: the default value of 0.0.0.0 can be entered at any time to disable the EPG

channel.

➢

DestPort - This field represents the port number that is to be used to map the EPG to a specific
QAM channel. The default value is 0.
