Operating Basics

The information takes the form of a series of screens; a brief summary of each follows:

Summary

A dynamic visual overview of the stream and monitoring status.

 

The information is updated at regular intervals.

 

(See page 3-20.)

Detail

Displays the detailed information about the stream according to

 

SI tables, PIDs, or Program.

 

(See page 3-22.)

Tests

Displays the state of the tests applied to the stream. It also

 

allows users with read-write permissions (Administrators) to

 

configure alarms and relays and parameters associated with each

 

test.

 

(See page 3-23.)

Information

Displays events not normally logged in the Stream log; for

 

example, PAT/PMT version changes.

 

(See page 3-28.)

Custom

Displays the state of the tests in the same way as the Tests view,

 

but categorized as Critical, Major, Minor or Warning.

 

The allocation of tests to categories is preconfigured, but you

 

can override the settings at run time. However, the settings will

 

not be saved when the RUI is closed (using the WebMSM

 

allows permanent configurations to be saved).

 

(See page 3-26.)

Programs

Displays the programs that are being transmitted on the stream

 

along with bit rate and the minimum and maximum bit rates that

 

are observed. Administrators can set bit rate limits for each

 

program if the bit rate limits option is licensed.

 

(See page 3-30.)

PIDs

Displays the PIDs that are being transmitted on the stream along

 

with bit rate and the minimum and maximum bit rates that are

 

observed. Administrators can set bit rate limits for each PID if

 

the bit rate limits option is licensed.

 

(See page 3-34.)

PID Groups * Displays the PID groups that you have created. The displayed information includes the error state and the bit rate.

(See page 3-41.)
