GigE Input IP Addr Field

Default: 239.001.001.001

Use the following procedure to set and view the Input GigE IP address of the unit. Press the  buttons until the GigE Input IP Address menu appears. Use this menu to enter an IP address and Port for the incoming GigE source stream. The address is represented in the common dotted- decimal format. Contact the network administrator for details about configuring the GigE input port for the desired source stream.

GigE Input	IP Address	Port
E	239.001.001.001	00000

Important: Do not configure the IP Address of the 10/100 and GigE to be on the same subnet.

Press the 4 button until the cursor is at the IP Address label, and press ENTER to move into the field. Use the arrow buttons (4) to enter the desired address and then press ENTER to confirm the selection and exit the field. Skip to page 38 to set the remaining installation fields.

Use this section to select one of the eight RF input ports so that the unit can acquire the DigiCipher II system signal and automatically download network data required for operation.

Because many satellite broadcasters use standard C-band transponder center frequencies, selecting a transponder number is the default tuning mode. Use the Xpndr option in the Mode field and edit the Xpndr (transponder) field (described on page 33), for tuning such signals.

For offset-frequency C-band, fractional transponders, or Ku-band satellite broadcasts, use the LFreq field in the Mode field (described on page 34), and directly edit the L-band frequency field.

The unit does not actually require any distinction between C-band and Ku-band satellite signals in order to tune and acquire a compatible signal. However, correct modulation information is necessary. For details on modulation, see “Modulation Menu” on page 35.

Input Field

Default: Port 1

The Input field displays the active input. To select the input:

Press the4 button until the cursor is at the Input label and press ENTER. Press the  buttons to scroll to the input that is connected. Unless changed, the unit displays Port 1. Press ENTER to confirm the selection and return to the top line of the menu. If Port 1 through Port 8 is selected, then use the arrow buttons (4) to specify the other fields (Mode field, Xpndr field, and Lfreq field) as needed. These three fields are not visible when ASI In or GigE In is selected.
