ASI-IP-GTW User's Manual

Type of service (TOS): Enter Type of Service parameter as a byte value to be set in the Type-of-Service (TOS) field in the IP header as specified in RFC-791. This parameter is used for Class-of-Service prioritization. It depends on the Routers honouring this field. Please refer to “Appendix F: Quality of service – Setting Packet priority” for further details.

Time to Live (TTL): Enter Time to Live parameter as a byte value to be set in the Time to Live (TTL) field in the IP header as specified in RFC- 791.

Use multicast router: Click this box, to enable use of multicast router. The address of the multicast router is the same for the entire unit and is configured in the Network sub-page of the Device Info page. When this option is enabled, the MAC address used when configuring a multicast destination IP address, will be resolved to the IP address of the multicast router. If not using the multicast router option, multicast addresses automatically resolve to dedicated multicast MAC addresses.

1.1.1.26 IP TX Status

Resolved: Yes, when the MAC address of the configured IP destination address is resolved. The parameter is always yes, when multicast is used without using multicast router. No, when the MAC address is not yet resolved by ARP lookup.

Destination MAC address: Shows the destination MAC address used for the stream. This may be the MAC address of the receiving unit or the gateway if the receiving unit is on another network).

If using a multicast destination IP address without enabling multicast router, the field shows the multicast MAC address corresponding to the configured IP address. In the case of multicast router, the MAC address resolved for the multicast router is shown.

When the address is still not resolved this field displays the value 00:00:00:00:00:00.

Total bitrate: The bitrate of the IP frames containing this MPEG-2 transport stream and any FEC data related to this stream.

Data bitrate: The bitrate of the IP frames containing this MPEG-2 transport stream, excluding FEC information.
