CISCO D9800

The Cisco D9800 Network Transport Receiver supports high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) and ultra-high-definition (UHD) delivery over satellite and IP terrestrial content distribution networks requiring DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite), DVB-S2 (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second Generation), and IP reception capabilities. This device can decode an MPEG-2, advanced video coding (AVC), or HEVC video-encoded service, and it can output the serial digital interface (SDI) or composite uncompressed video.

The Cisco D9800 connector polls values in order to display information about the device and allows you to configure certain parameters.

The connector retrieves and sets information on the device through HTTP and SNMP.

Connections

HTTP Main connection

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.

  • Bus address: If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify bypassproxy.

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.

Initialization

In order to poll all the data of the device, you must enter a valid username and password on the Admin page to start a new session.

Web Interface

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