Operation

The GW5000 gateway manages all connections with NET5301-TC transcoders. When the gateway receives a request from a Web client to send a video stream, the gateway determines whether the video needs to be routed through a transcoder to covert the video into a format that can be used by the Web client. After the video transmission has been completed, the gateway releases the transcoder until it is needed again.

During operation, monitor the unit status and power supply indicator lights to make sure that the gateway is operating properly. In case of failure, system alarms and error messages will also display on Endura workstations and VCD5000 video console displays (refer to Appendix F: Troubleshooting on page 40).

ïCPU Activity

The CPU activity indicator flashes yellow anytime there is processing activity on the GW5000. It is not lit anytime there is no processing activity.

ñNetwork Status

Network status (connection and speed) indicates the status of the private network as one of the following conditions:

Off: The unit is not connected to the private network.

Solid green: The unit is connected to the private network using the 1000Base-T standard.

Solid amber: The unit is connected to the private network using the 100Base-T standard.

Solid red: The unit is connected to the private network using the 10Base-T standard.

NOTE: For proper operation, you must use the 1000Base-T standard. A status indicator on the rear panel of the unit displays the status of the public network connection.

óConfiguration/Reset Button This button is reserved.

rPower Button

Use the power button to turn the unit on and off (refer to Unit Startup and Unit Shutdown on page 19).

sNetwork Activity (Private)

The network activity indicator flashes green whenever the unit is sending or receiving data over the network. The indicator is not lit when there is no network activity present or when a link has been terminated.
