Configuration

Connections

HTTP Connection - Main

This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:

HTTP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
  • IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 443).
  • Bus address: The app slot number

Initialization

After element creation, you need to specify a valid Username and Password to start polling data from the device.

Web Interface

The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.

How to Use

General Page

This page mainly displays system information. This includes information about the Device Name, Vendor and Version.

On this page, you can also define the Username and Password to connect to the device. This must be done to be able to retrieve any data with the connector.

Pressing the Login button will force a refresh of the element's data.

Manage Devices

This page allows you to create new devices (new rules) in the system.

To create a device, you should always specify the following information: the sender and receiver Source IP Address, Source Port, Destination IP Address and Destination Port, a Network Port, and Bit Rate. Other data is optional.

On the RTP Alarming, Payload Alarming and Protect tab pages, additional configuration options are available.

NOTE: To interact with the tables, use the table context menus. Also note that it is currently not possible to configure both merging and mirroring, as both features require the use of the backplane ports.

Devices

This page contains device information for both Senders and Receivers of the devices, including the devices' IPs, ports, and generic network configuration. A device can be deleted from the device table.

A page button provides access to the Alarm Configuration subpage, where the alarm configuration for each device is displayed. Depending on the selected encapsulation, the information for each device can be shown in different tables.

Ports

This page contains the network information separated in two tables BP Ports and SFP Ports which displays info for the hardware ports/interfaces of the device, separated into receivers and senders. Typically, the device contains four ports: two on the front plane and two on the back plane. However, there is hardware support for two extra back plane ports. The information available on this page is all network related. It includes Packet information, Bit Rates and Bytes.

Interfaces

This page displays Ethernet statistics for device Senders and Receivers. This includes ARP, ICMP and IGMP statistics.

Encapsulation

This page contains statistical information for SMPTE-2022-6 encapsulation. The focus for SMPTE-2022-6 is on video and audio statistics.

RTP

This page contains RTP statistics for both Senders and Receivers, including packets, uptime, bit rates and status and error information.

PDV

This page displays the Packet Data Variation statistics for both Senders and Receivers. Average values are shown for several time spans.

FEC

This page displays the Forward Error Correction statistics for both Senders and Receivers, including the FEC mode and the dropped and recovered packets.
