The Network Settings tab in the Device Settings page controls the Ethernet port and IP settings of the WP-DEC7.
Perform the following actions:

• Using the Service Port for P3K & Gateway Transmissions on page 29.
• Defining IP Casting Mode Setting and TTL on page 30.
• Managing TCP/UDP Ports on page 30.

Using the Service Port for P3K & Gateway Transmissions
WP-DEC7 has two Ethernet ports (SERVICE 1G and MEDIA 1G). By default, all network connections are handled by MEDIA with DHCP enabled and 802.1Q disabled.
WP-DEC7 can maintain a separate IP address for P3K & Gateway traffic and receive that traffic on the Service ethernet port. Video and other types of streaming always use the MEDIA ethernet port.
To separate P3K & Gateway from the AV streams:

1. Open the Device Setting page’s default General tab.

2. Select the Network tab.

3. Change the following settings in the Interface Settings section:
   ▪ In the Port column select Service and set 802.1Q to On.
   ▪ In the VLAN ID column, enter an integer number (2 – 4093) for P3K & Gateway services. This separates the P3K & Gateway packets.
   802.1Q and VLAN are not required for the Media port.

4. If you want the P3K & Gateway port to have a static IP set DHCP to Off and enter a subnet mask and gateway address. If there is no valid DHCP server in the system, it will look for the random unique IP in the range of 169.254.X.Y. The allocated IP address can be seen by attaching an HDMI screen (with no streamed input).
   P3K and Gateway are separated for streams.

Defining IP Casting Mode Setting and TTL
The IP Casting Mode is set by the Encoder. The setting on this field needs to be the same as that on the encoder:

• Unicast – The encoded stream is intended for this decoder alone.
• Multicast (default) – Any decoder can access the encoded stream.

TTL (time to live) limits the lifetime of the streamed data in the computer network. It prevents the IP packet from propagating endlessly through the network. The default value is 64, which means that after 64 hops the data packet is dropped.
Managing TCP/UDP Ports
TCP and UDP are protocols that define how data is streamed. The port on which the data is received must be defined in the system.
To manage TCP/UDP ports:

1. Open the Device Setting page’s default Network tab.
2. Set the TCP Port (default value 5000) and UDP Port (default value 50000).The TCP and UDP ports are set.

Defining an NTP Time and Date Server
You can sync the device time and date to any server around the world.
To sync device time and date to a server:

1. In the Device Settings page open the Time and Date tab:

2. Set the following:
   ▪ Set NTP Time Server Usage to Yes. This enables the Time Server fields.
   ▪ Enter the NTP Time Server Address and the NTP Daily Sync Hour.

3. Click SAVE.
   The device’s date and time is synchronized to the time server.

Fast Switching

Fast switching makes it simple to switch between different encoders and decoders. Before setting devices to fast switching, make sure the network components are correctly configured.
To set the devices properly:

1. Ensure the system devices (WP-DEC7 and encoder) and PC are all connected to the same Network.

2. Power all the devices in the system.

3. Configure the Network switch as follows:
   ▪ Jumbo Frames – On. (at least 8000 bytes).
   ▪ IGMP Snooping – On.
   ▪ IGMP Querier – On.
   ▪ IGMP Immediate/Fast Leave – On.
   ▪ Unregistered Multicast Filtering – On.

4. Make sure that the PC sub-Network is the same as the system devices.

Fast switching configuration
To configure fast switching:

1. Access the various encoders’ and decoders’ web pages.

2. For each encoder, in the AV Routing page, set a unique Channel ID and Channel Name.

3. To configure fast switching between different encoders, the following settings need to be identical on the input sources:
   ▪ HDCP Encryption
   ▪ Resolution and Refresh rate

4. The following settings needs to be uniform on all the encoders and on the decoder:
   ▪ Maximum Resolution (set on the AV Settings page).
   Fast switching is configured.

Protocol 3000

Kramer devices can be operated using Kramer Protocol 3000 commands sent via serial or Ethernet ports.
Understanding Protocol 3000
Protocol 3000 commands are a sequence of ASCII letters, structured according to the following.
Command format:

Prefix| Command Name| Constant (Space)| Parameter(s)| Suffix
---|---|---|---|---

| Command| ␣| Parameter| < CR>

Feedback format:

Prefix| Device ID| Constant| Command Name| Parameter(s)| Suffix
---|---|---|---|---|---
~| nn| @| Command| Parameter| < CR>

• Command parameters – Multiple parameters must be separated by a comma (,). In addition, multiple parameters can be grouped as a single parameter using brackets ([ and ]).
• wParameters attributes – Parameters may contain multiple attributes. Attributes are indicated with pointy brackets (<…>) and must be separated by a period (.).

The command framing varies according to how you interface with WP-DEC7. The following figure displays how the # command is framed using terminal communication software (such as Hercules):
