INTERFACE CONNECTIONS: OPERATIONAL RULES
See below for a general explanation of how the SBB operates in POE or non‐POE environment. There are some restrictions depending up how the interfaces are used and if POE or regular PSU power is used.
-
Ethernet Ports:
- By default, the Ethernet Sink port is enabled and WiFi client is disabled. The Sink port is always the primary Ethernet interface to the property network for vuTyme service. However, the Wifi client interface can also be used for vuTyme service. If the WiFi client interface is enabled, the Sink port is disabled.
- The second Ethernet port (Source) cannot be used for the direct connection to the property net‐work. To enable the second Ethernet port (Source), you must use vuTyme Manager.
- Both Ethernet ports support 100Mbps bandwidth.
- To power the SBB over Ethernet, an Ethernet cable must be connected from the SBB to a Type1 802.3af / Class 3 POE Ethernet switch on the property.
-
WiFi:
- The Wifi module contains a separate WiFi client and WiFi Access Point (AP). The WiFi Client and WiFi Access Point interfaces can never work simultaneously.
WiFi Access point configuration can be done in vuTyme Manager. AP configuration can also be done on the SBB via diagnostic screens.
WiFi Client mode can be enabled using the following:
vuTyme Manager.
On the SBB using internal Setup options (see “Box Support Menus & Diag Screens” on page 15).
Via a USB stick. USB stick is most often used when technicians install the SBBs over property WiFi to get a connection to the vuTyme server. See “SBB Wi‐Fi Config” on page 8.
If the SBB is powered through Ethernet Sink port, the WiFi client interface is disabled. It is con‐sidered unneeded since vuTyme client traffic is done via Ethernet. If the SBB is powered from a PSU and the WiFi client is configured and enabled, the Ethernet Sink port is disabled (for the same reason above).
- The Wifi module contains a separate WiFi client and WiFi Access Point (AP). The WiFi Client and WiFi Access Point interfaces can never work simultaneously.
-
Power Supply
- The ADB‐2682WF can be powered from a PSU (external 12V power supply). This most common option is needed in order to power another device thru the POE Source Ethernet port (such a SIP telephone or another SBB).
- If the SBB is powered using the POE Sink port, devices connected to the POE Source port are not powered. They can be powered using their own power supplies, however.
- You can have both a power supply connected and the Sink port connected to a POE switch. How‐ever, power will not be provided to the Source port until enabled via the vuTyme Manager.
CONNECTION USE CASES
STANDARD BASIC CONNECTION ‐ ETHERNET
The ADB‐2682WF supports the following use cases. Find the use case that fits
your current installation for more information on making the proper
connections during the installation.
Note: SBB does not require power supply if Sink port is connected to a Type1
802.3af / Class 3 POE Ethernet switch on the property.
VOIP/SIP PHONE
Note : If no SBB power supply is used, and the Sink port is connected to a Type1 802.3af / Class 3 POE switch for power, the VOIP/SIP phone must be powered with its power supply. If the SBB power supply is used, the phone is powered over Ethernet.
ND SBB CONNECTED OVER ETHERNET
Note : If no SBB power supply is used, and the Sink port is connected to a Type1 802.3af / Class 3 POE switch for power, the 2nd SBB must be powered with its power supply. If the SBB power supply is used, the 2nd SBB is pow‐ered over Ethernet.
STANDARD BASIC CONNECTION ‐ WIFI
Note : The POE Sink port is disabled if connecting the SBB as a vuTyme client via WiFi.
ND SBB CONNECTED OVER WIFI
The SBB power supply is not required to power the WiFi AP. WiFi AP power can be supplied via the Sink port as long as it is connected to a Type1 802.3af / Class 3 POE switch.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Review the following safety instructions for handling and operating the SBB. For complete safety information, consult the safety guide included in the SBB product packaging.
- The SBB is designed for use only with the supplied external power supply adapter. Do not use any other power supply.
- The order of connecting the power supply is as follows:
- Connect the 12V lead to the SBB first.
- Insert the main plug into the power outlet.
- To disconnect the SBB from power, remove the external power supply adapter from the power outlet (not by removing the 12V lead from the SBB).
- Disconnect the power supply from the power outlet before you disconnect any equipment from the rear panel of the SBB.
- Allow some free space above and around the SBB to ensure a free flow of air around it. Don’t block the ventilation holes of the SBB. Don’t place the SBB on top of any unit that emits heat (for example, a video recorder).
PREREQUISITES
Complete the following tasks before installing SBBs.
-
. The SBBs must be staged and provisioned in the operator’s warehouse according to their own procedures.
-
SBBs must have be added to the billing account/sub‐accounts. Note: Some Service Providers may not require this step.
-
Confirm the Property Network: The property IP network infrastructure must be able to support vuTyme application traffic and video. Refer to following document from ADB for complete network setup, bandwidth estimation, and checklists:
-
vuTyme _Product Family IP_ Network _Requirements
This document can be requested from the video service operator or ADB vuTyme support. -
The maximum identified network utilization for the ADB‐2682WF SBB is to support playing a 4K IP video stream itself as well as bridging a 4K IP video stream to another SBB. See below for gen‐eral bandwidth usage:
-
Consumer | Bandwidth |
---|---|
vuTyme General Applica‐ tion Traffic | Per SBB: A minimum bandwidth of 256Kbps |
is required to boot SBBs in under 10 minutes. With more bandwidth, SBBs can boot in less time (e.g. 512Kbps boots in under 5 min‐
utes).
UHD|
- TCP‐based 4K video stream (MPEG‐DASH): 15Mbps
- UDP‐based 4K video stream (IPTV Multicast): 25 Mbps
Live TV (HD, 1080)| 9 Mbps
Live TV (SD, 720)| 5 Mbps
SIP telephone:| 2 Mbps
VOD| 6.5 Mbps (average for MPEG‐Dash)
VOD data rates vary by compression and stream type.
BUILD OUT THE PROPERTY IN VUTYME MANAGER
The property where the SBBs will be installed must be built out in the vuTyme Manager and made Active before the install. Property setup includes creating the property, enabling features, setting up channel lineups, creating at least one property Area, configuring broadcast and box settings, UI setup, and more.
Additional Notes
- Once the property is built, a Premises ID is created. This must be communicated to the install technicians.
- Broadcast Settings and Box Settings in vuTyme Manager are made for SBBs to accommodate the specific type of signal delivery and wiring at the property, including WiFi. It is highly recom‐mended that the Broadcast Settings and Box Settings be made/confirmed prior to physical instal‐lation at the property.
- In some cases, the video delivery and wiring infrastructure may differ across sections of the property. In such cases, it is recommended that separate Areas be created during the property creation process. This allows the operator to assign different broadcast and box settings in vuTyme and make other settings to manage the differences in wiring and video delivery.
LOAD CORRECT VUTYME FIRMWARE TO BOXES
SBBs can be upgraded to the desired firmware before deployment automatically, or a USB stick can be used to download the software on‐site or in a pre‐install environment. Lastly, SBBs could be installed and then upgraded remotely after they are registered to a property room.
- The most current approved firmware must be set as the default in vuTyme Manager (Platforms Tab>>specific SBB platform>>default image).
- Factory fresh SBBs that have been preloaded into the vuTyme inventory are connected via Ethernet or Wi‐Fi and powered on. Then, automatic downloads will occur in the following cases: if SBBs have factory firmware, if SBBs have older firmware than that set as the default, if all SBBs are currently not assigned to a property.
DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE TO A USB STICK & UPGRADE BOX
-
To download a firmware image to place on a USB stick in order to upgrade boxes, do the following:
-
Login to the vuTyme Manager.
-
Click Home in vuTyme. Click Firmware Library.
-
It is important to know what is the currently approved firmware for deployment. Find the desired firmware in the list and click the Download button. You will be prompted to save the firmware to your local computer.
-
Once saved, that image can then be placed on a USB stick to upgrade boxes using the USB port. USB sticks must be formatted FAT32. Notes: Place only the firmware image on the USB stick. Nothing else can be on it.
-
Once a USB stick is prepared, insert it into the USB port on a box and follow the on‐screen prompts to complete the firmware download.
SBB WI‐FI CONFIG
If the SBB will use the WiFi client to connect to the property network (see p. 5), use the following steps to prepare for an installation. This connection will be used to support vuTyme application traffic, VOD, and CDN/OTT streaming.
Important : WPA2‐PSK and WPA3‐SAE are supported on the ADB‐2682 platform.
-
Work with the property to determine what Wi‐Fi SSID to use for SBBs. In some cases, there may be different SSIDs used across the property.
-
Make sure WiFi levels throughout the property are correct. See below:
- Maximum RSSI (received signal strength indicator) for correct operation of internet based ser‐vices: ‐65dBm to ‐20dBm for 2.4GHz channels and ‐65dBm and ‐30dBm for 5GHz.
- ‐30 dBm = Excellent ‐ Max achievable signal strength. Device is most likely only a few feet from the AP.
-
= ‐65 dBm = Very Good ‐ Minimum signal strength for most business applications.
- ‐70 dBm = Okay ‐ Minimum signal strength required for decent packet delivery.
- ‐80 dBm = Not Good ‐ Packet delivery may be unreliable.
- ‐90 dBm = Unusable.
- Use the link below for how to use a WiFi Analyzer application to check signal levels on‐site.
- https://www.techadvisor.com/article/743462/how‐to‐check‐wifi‐signal‐strength.html#:~:text= How%20to%20check%20Wi%2DFi%20signal%20strength%20on%20iPhone,Scan‐ ner%20to%20enable%20this%20feature_
-
Obtain an empty USB stick to use during the installation which will be used to auto‐configure the SBB Wi‐Fi client in order for the SBB to make a vuTyme connection and register. This stick must be config‐ured with one partition as ext4 or fat32.
-
Use a raw text editor and create a new file called config.ini.
-
Add the following lines to the file. Be sure to substitute in the correct values for the property Wi‐Fi SSID and password.
[net] interface=wlan0
ssid= property Wifi SSID
password=property WiFi SSID_ password encryption=WPA2-PSK
Important : For encryption, the following values are supported: WPA2‐PSK and WPA3‐SAE. -
Save the config.ini file to the USB stick when complete. Keep this USB stick with you to use during the installation. Using the stick is described in the install instructions on the following pages.
-
See the references below for more information:
To see all the USB stick options for controlling the network interfaces on the SBB, see p. 14.
SBB INSTALLATION CONNECT THE SBB
The following provides summarized steps to install the SBB running the vuTyme
client.
Note : Depending upon your local installation situation, you may want to
mount the SBB first before mak‐ing connections. If so, refer to p. 12 and then
return to this section.
Note : Technicians should make sure they have Ethernet cable couplers
and/or extra lengths of Ethernet cables in case the supplied Ethernet cable is
too short (1 meter).
-
The SBB has multiple connection options. Refer to “Connection Use Cases” on page 5 to confirm what connection option you will use. Use the diagram provided as a general connections diagram.
-
Connect the supplied Ethernet cable from the SBB’s Sink port to the Ethernet port in the room. If you will use power‐over‐ethernet (POE), the cable must be connected to a port from a Type1
802.3af / Class 3 POE switch. -
If Wifi is to be used for the for vuTyme application traffic, VOD service, and/or CDN/OTT video, insert the prepared USB stick (as described on “SBB Wi‐Fi Config” on page 8) into the USB slot on the back of the device.
-
Connect the IR dongle into the IR port on the SBB (next to HDMI port). This provides line‐of‐sight RCU control of the SBB (as the SBB will be mounted behind the TV).
At some point during the install, the prism end of the IR dongle must be affixed to the TV. This may be done now or after install and mounting of the SBB. See below for instructions:-
Use the supplied two‐sided tape to affix the IR prism dongle to the TV, typically to the bottom‐back of the screen. If possible, mount toward the center of the TV screen. Make sure the area on the TV is clean and dry. You may want to
-
wait until the SBB is mounted before affixing the IR prism to the TV.
-
The IR prism should be mounted facing downward so the 45 degree angle is facing toward the back of TV and the wire is coming out towards the top. Route the wire so there isn’t any pressure pulling on the bonded prism dongle.
Between 1/8” and 1/4” of the prism should protrude below the TV and have clear line‐of‐sight access to the room. -
See to left for an example.
-
-
Connect the HDMI cable from the SBB to the TVs preferred HDMI port (e.g. HDMI 1). Have the TV powered on and set to the TV’s preferred HDMI port (e.g. HDMI 1).
-
If a pillow speaker interface is to be used (e.g. ProTv solutions), connect that interface to the USB port.
-
Optionally, connect a Strain Relief Clip to the SBB and ensure the power cord and/or Ethernet cable is clipped into it.
-
Connect the power in this order:
-
If using the SBB PSU, connect the cord from the power supply brick to the back of the SBB,
-
connect the power supply cord from the brick to the power outlet. Note: Reverse the order when disconnecting the SBB from power.
SBB BOOT
-
1. As the SBB boots, observe the boot screen to make sure there are no issues (e.g. network). Refer to “Box Support Menus & Diag Screens” on page 15 for more information.
If the box is not booting, the serial number of the box is displayed on the boot screen for further investigation. Note also the LED behavior:- LED will remain steady GREEN while the box boots but turns off once attached to a property.
- GREEN blinks for RCU signal reception of IR codes from the Embedded IR Sensor:
- Doesn’t blink if something is connected to External IR port (IR Extender Sensor or PSI don‐gle) and IR codes are received thru the External IR port.
- Doesn’t blink if key input is received thru USB port.
- Ethernet Status LED (on Ethernet ports):
- LED indicators are enabled when SBB starts booting.
- LED indicators are disabled when SBB successfully finished booting and high‐level software (vuTyme Client application) has started.
- RED displays quickly for initial boot, then off.
- Note : If the LED remains on after being attached to a property, that indicates an issue with the SBB. Constant Red typically indicates a true hardware issue that may require an RMA and replacement of the device.
- Important: If multiple boxes are being booted at the same time (e.g. after a power outage), some boxes may not get the UI/App download or other configuration information from the vuTyme server if the network speed is too low. Instead, an algorithm on the SBB pauses, and at random intervals, has SBBs attempt another reboot. This is an intentional “boot‐retry” design that allows boxes to come online when network speeds are too low.
-
If the Wi‐Fi USB stick is being used, as described further above, the Settings screen is displayed.
- Verify that the SBB is successfully connected to the desired property Wi‐Fi by navigating to the “Wi‐Fi” section. If you accidently close the setup screen, you can re‐invoke it by pressing the #314 (see p. 15 for more information and options).
- Remove the USB Flash drive from the SBB’s USB port. Exit the Box Settings menu (via EXIT key on the RCU). This will cause the SBB to reboot and then the vuTyme application should start normally.
-
Once properly booted and connected to the network (with internet access), the SBB displays the in‐room installation screens as explained on the following pages.
REGISTER THE SBB TO THE PROPERTY & ROOM
Continue with the following steps to finish the installation. Note: If the in‐room install screens do not dis‐play, but the box boots, this may be a networking issue with local DNS and/or the information the SBB has that points to the vuTyme server. If unable to resolve, contact your internal support for further investigation.
Install Screen 1
Enter the Premises ID in the screen. Use the arrow keys to highlight Submit, then press Select/OK. If you enter the incorrect number, use the left arrow keys to delete the previously entered numbers.
- Use the arrow keys to select the Assign to Room button and press Select/OK.
- Note that the screen displays a variety of telemetry at the top that may be useful in ensuring the installation will succeed.
- Page 2 shows additional telemetry including an internet connectivity speed test (upper‐right
Screen 2Install
Select an Area for the box. Areas oftentimes have different channel lineups (e.g. Guest Rooms vs. Common Areas) or may be designated as Digital Signage areas. Press Select/OK to open the list of areas and use the arrow buttons to select the desired area. Press Select/OK again.
- Enter the room number. For non‐room locations (such as TVs in common areas) use your own numbering conventions or consider using the following scheme: 7000 and up ‐ com‐mon spaces, 8000 and up ‐ property bar/restaurant, 9000 and up ‐ stand alone bar. Important: Room numbers must be unique across areas. For example, you cannot have a room 500 in a Guest Rooms area and a room 500 in a Com‐mon Space area. The install screens will alert you if you try to use the same room number in different areas.
- Enter the riser number (3‐digit numeric). Often this field is unused so enter any number as you see fit.
- Enter the PIN and then select Submit (almost always 1234). The PIN is found on the Premises Info screen in the vuTyme Manager portal.
REGISTRATION COMPLETION
Continue with the following steps to complete SBB registration.
-
. The boot screen progresses as follows:
-
dot means the booter has been launched.
-
dots mean that drivers plus middleware have been launched.
-
dots mean that the client UI has been launched.
-
Allow a few moments for the vuTyme client to display, as shown below:
-
For some but not all service providers, an Installation “hit” must sent to the SBB to authorize pro‐gramming.
-
Signal levels can be monitored for all or parts of the property using vuTyme Manager.
-
If there appears to be SBB performance issues and WiFi is used for SBB network access, WiFi signal level requirements are provided in step 2 on p. 8.
-
A broadband/internet speed test can be performed on the SBB. Refer to “Box Support Menus & Diag Screens” on page 15.
-
Program the remote control for the TV. Specific instructions are not provided in this document.
- If the box is having compatibility issues with the TV, contact a vuTyme Manager user at the Ser‐vice Provider to possibly set some overrides (resolution, audio, HDCP).
- Check the Video. Verify the delivery of expected channels (premiums, in the clear, and SDV). Check VOD (free on‐demand).
- Test DVR Lite if offered to the property (e.g. pause live TV).
- Be sure the TV volume is appropriate. If no volume is present, check the remote to be sure that the volume is not muted.
- Dress cables cleanly.
CONNECT OTHER DEVICES TO SBB
CHAPTER 2: MOUNT THE SBB
The SBB mounts to the TV as follows.
- Make sure you have appropriate screw drivers: a screw driver P1 (diameter 3) for small screws and a screw driver P0 (diameter 4.5) for spacer screws.
- The SBB comes with 2 smaller screws for attaching the bracket to the SBB. It also con‐tains 3 screws of different sizes depending on the mounting hole size on the back of the TV. The washers are used only when mounting the SBB with a TV wall mount.
- Wall mounted SBBs are discussed further in the instructions.
Chapter 2: Mount the SBB
-
Mount the SBB bracket using the two screws provided.
-
The bracket can be mounted to the SBB in all the ways shown.
-
It is common to install the bracket so the SBB’s connections’ side (HDMI, Power, etc.) faces to the bottom.
-
Use the provided screw or the mount‐ing kit screw.
-
Insert the screw through the mounting rail, then through the outside‐center hole of the SBB bracket into one of the 4 holes on the back of the TV.
-
Do not use the washer for that screw.
-
In some cases, you may need spacers to ensure there is enough clearance between the TV, SBB, and wall mount.
-
Such spacers and long screws are not included in the SBB package.
-
They can be ordered as spare parts from ADB. Charter’s SAP ordering system provides the following spare part numbers for these kits:
- K18‐ADB‐KIT1Z (spacers)
- K18‐ADB‐KIT2Z (screws)
USING A USB STICK TO CONTROL SBB NETWORK INTERFACE
See below for various USB stick options to tell SBBs what network interface to
use and how (WiFi / Ether‐net, with DHCP or Static IP). The network interface
is used by SBBs to communicate with the vuTyme server, receive VOD content,
and access CDN IP live TV content (if used and configured).
See below for the basic instructions for preparing and using the USB stick and
go to the USB Options below for the configuration choices.
- Obtain an empty USB stick. This stick must be configured with one partition as ext4 or fat32.
- Use a raw text editor and create a new file called config.ini.
- Add the lines from one of the option groups in the USB Options section below to the file. Be sure to substitute in the correct values for the italicized items in the examples below.
- Save the config.ini file to the USB stick when complete. Keep this USB stick to use for other SBBs if needed.
- Power off the SBB that will use the USB stick. Insert the USB stick to the USB port on the back of the SBB.
- Power on the SBB and allow it to boot. The Box Settings screen should display. Validate that your interface settings are present in this screen.
- If the Box Settings does not display, you can re‐invoke it by pressing the #314 rapidly on the RCU.
- Remove the USB Flash drive from the SBB’s USB port. Exit the Box Settings menu (via EXIT key on the RCU). This will cause the SBB to reboot and then the vuTyme application should start normally.
