Digicast Micro Encapsulator (MENCAP) Revision A
Installation & Initial Configuration MN/MENCAPEDC.IOM
2.4 Initial Configuration
2.4.1 Standalone Configuration
The initial configuration involves setting up the IP parameters via the terminal cable.
Once the IP parameters have been configured, the terminal cable can be removed and
should be stored in a known location, since it may be needed in the future.
To configure the IP parameters:
Step Procedure
1 Using a terminal emulator on a PC such as HyperTerminal™ or TeraTerm™,
set up the communication port as follows:
• 38,400 BAUD
• 8 Data Bits
• 1 Stop Bit
• No Parity
• No Flow Control
2 Press the <ENTER> key on the PC – the MENCAP 50’s menu should be
displayed.
3 Press “N” for Network Menu.
4 Press “I” for the IP Address, Enter the IP Address and press <ENTER>.
5 Press “M” for the Subnet Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask and press <ENTER>.
6 Press “G” for the Default Gateway IP Address. Enter the Default Gateway
Address and press <ENTER>.
7 Press “S” to save the parameters.
8 Press “X” to exit to the main menu.
9 Press “E” to configure the egress port.
10 Press “C” to configure the egress clock rate. Enter the egress rate in megabits
per second (Mbps) and press <ENTER>.
11 Press “F” to toggle between 188 or 204 byte egress mode.
12 Press “S” to save the parameters.
13 Press “X” to exit the menu.
At this point, the unit has been configured for basic operation and the terminal cable may
be removed. The ASI cable may now be safely attached to one of the two (mirrored)
output ports. For continued operation the unit may be managed via the Terminal
Interface; however, it is recommended to use the Web Interface for ease of management.
