Ericsson CE-xH40
The Ericsson CE-xH40 connector has a serial connection to monitor and configure the Ericsson encoder device over HTTP. Alarm monitoring and trending can be activated on all important parameters.
About
With this connector, you can monitor and configure the Ericsson encoder. This module's MPEG-4 AVC Fidelity Range Extensions (FRExt) enable the operator to capture, archive and distribute content in the best possible quality HDTV. The encoder supports multi-channel and multi-codec.

Installation and configuration
Creation
Serial main connection
This is a serial connector that will send HTTP commands (default HTTP on port 80). During the creation of the element, the port settings need to be filled in correctly. These communication settings will be used to send and receive commands and responses to and from the device.
SERIAL CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 172.32.65.38.
- IP port: The IP port of the device, set to default value port 80.
Usage
Overview
On this page, a tree control is available that displays the relations between the outputs, Transport Streams, Services and Components tables. Navigation is very easy in this tree control.
Note that the tree control is set to read only, so it is not possible to perform sets on this page.
General
This page displays general information, such as UTC Time, UTC Date, SNTP Server, Model Type, Build Version and Serial Number.
There is also a Slot Table that contains all the installed slots with their information (Slot Number, Description, Serial Nr. and Hardware).
There is also a Reboot button available. If you click this button, the confirmation message will always be displayed as a pop-up in order to prevent a wrong user action.
Alarms
On this page, there is one Alarm Table, containing all the alarms with their properties (Alarm Name, Description, Time, Severity, Source and Slot). Alarm monitoring is enabled on the columns Alarm Severity and Alarm Description.
Streams
On this page, the four tables can be found that are used in the tree control on the Overview page. These tables contain the editable configuration parameters. You can monitor the bitrate or update the settings for these streams.
