3 Operating the Equipment
3.1 Introduction
The ASI-IP-GTW is configured and controlled locally and remotely
through a flash-based WEB interface. The only application required on
the computer to use this interface is a WEB browser (Internet Explorer,
Mozilla or Opera) and FLASH player 7.0. In order to connect to the user
interface of the ASI-IP-GTW only enter the IP address of the
management data port. The default IP address of the management port
is 10.0.0.10. Please refer to Section 3.2 for information about how to
change the IP address of the management port using the RS232
connection.
If you don’t have FLASH player 7.0 or newer installed on your
computer, this will be detected and you will be informed to install this
prior to configuring the ASI-IP-GTW.
3.2 Changing the IP address of the unit
The ASI-IP-GTW is configured with IP address 10.0.0.10 for the
management port. There are two ways to change the IP address of the
management port:
1. Connect from a WEB browser and use WEB-interface to set IP
address of management port (See section 3.5.1).
2. Connect via RS232 via HyperTerminal (115200kb/s, 8, N, 1, no flow
control). Type the following command:
net ipconfig --ip (ip address) --mask (subnet mask) -
-gw (gateway).
Example:
net ipconfig --ip 10.40.80.100 --mask 255.255.255.0 -
-gw 10.40.80.1
Note: FLASH player 7.0 or newer is required to use the WEB interface
of the ASI-IP-GTW.
Note: It is recommended to use Internet Explorer 6.0 or newer.
The ASI-IP-GTW can be configured to transmit MPEG2 transport
stream data over an Ethernet link or receive data from an Ethernet
interface. In IP transmit mode (IP TX), up to 8 DVB ASI inputs are
provided. In IP receive mode (IP RX), up to 8 DVB ASI output streams
are provided. An optional mode for bi-directional operation (IP-TXRX) is
available, where half the DVB ASI ports are used as inputs, and the
other half as outputs.
