System structure and principle

2.1 System structure
IP adaptor structure as below:
2.2 Working principle
The H-1ASI-IP-B unit consists of an ASI input/output module, an Ethernet IP output/input module, and a CPU module. An ASI Transport Stream that is input into the ASI module is encapsulated by the CPU and output by the Ethernet module. The opposite process takes place at the receiving end.

3.2 Network port
There are two network ports on the H-1ASI-IP-B.
Data Port: The RJ-45 Port labeled “Data” is the transport port for the encapsulated ASI stream. This port carries the primary IP address for the device, and is the only port that needs to be connected for the device to function. It is important to note that the Data port IP address does not support the “ping” function. It is also important to note that when making changes to the IP configurations either via front panel or NMS it is important to use the “Save Config” option on the top menu when on the front panel, or click the “Save Config” button in the software when using NMS.
Ethernet Port: This port is for network management via the Network Management Software. It is not essential for this port to be connected for proper functioning of the device. However the Network Management Software is the most effective method for setting the devices IP address. If problems arise while attempting to set the device IP with the front panel please use the network management software.
If network management and monitoring is desired, this port can be connected to the same network as the primary Data port. Please note that these two ports have separate IP address and are configured differently.

5.2.3 Parameter Settings
The Parameter Settings menu is for setting IP addresses and parameters for the Transport Stream network port. This is the port that carries the ASI TS over the IP network. This is different from the managment port, used for the network managment software. Please remember that the IP address used for TS send and TS recieve will not respond to the ping command.
The Parameter Settings menu has the following options
1.1. Output
1.2. Input
1.3. Local

NMS Operation

With the Network Management Software (MNS) the user can set all the parameters on a PC and transfer the data to the device. This is the recommended technique for setting parameters such as IP and Port number. To use the NMS software, connect the Ethernet port on a computer to the “Ethernet” port on the device. Determine the units “Local IP” address through the front panel. This is the IP that is found under the “Network Settings” menu, not the IP’s found under “Parameter Settings” menu. The local IP for the “Ethernet” Management port can also be changed via the “Network Settings” Menu. To change the IP, press enter while the IP is being displayed. The curser will appear, and the arrows can be used to set the new IP. Press enter to confirm the new IP. Remember to always “Save Parameters” on the home menu after making any changes. Make sure that the computer IP range is in the same range and the devices IP address to ensure proper communication.
Once the management local IP is determined or set, launch the Network Management Software (NMS). Log into the software with username “admin” and
password “admin”. These can be changed from inside the software later.
Once the main NMS menu comes up, Select “Add Freq Node” and you will see the following dialog box:
In the “Add F equency Node” Dialog box enter 385MHZ and hit ok. You will then see the option populate in left hand menu tree.
Select the 385MHZ option and click “Add Device”. The dialog will show up. Select the “TS IP Gateway” option in the device type drop down menu and enter the Devices management IP address. Give the device a name, and select the Management Port number.
The device should now appear in the left hand menu tree. The device is now available for the “open device” button. When you click open device all the parameters for the device are now available for you to edit inside the software. You can click the “Get” button to pull all of the current parameters from the device. You can make changes then in the software and then click the “Set” button to write those parameters back to the device. Once you have set the parameters it is important to click the “Save Config” button on the top menu to make your changes permanent.
You can also save configurations with this software as well as load your saved configurations. Device status, Link Status, and ASI status are all visible from this menu. You can also read the ASI Bitrate. IP NMS menu
