Harmonic NSG9000 6G

The Harmonic NSG9000 6G v.1.0.0.3 is an HTTP connector that is used to control and monitor NSG9000 6G devices.

About

This EdgeQAM device supports up to 9 modules, which house 2 RFs with 8 QAMs each. This results in a lot of parameters to monitor. Therefore, an additional page, Overview, groups all the parts together in a tree view. Where possible, the web interface is mimicked to provide a low threshold between both interfaces.

Installation and configuration

Creation

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

SERIAL CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination, e.g., 10.11.12.13.
  • IP port: The port of the destination, e.g., 80.
  • Bus address: This field can be used to bypass the proxy. To do so, fill in the value bypassproxy.

Configuration

The NSG9000 devices have a default authentication setup that requires a session to provide login details. These details are entered on the Authentication Settings page, accessed by the page button on the General page. The default logins can be different depending on the device type, and consequently, for this device they are different from the NSG9000 3G version.

  • Username: The username or login of the corresponding access level, e.g., guest.
  • Password: The password of the user or access level, e.g., nsgguest.

Usage

General

This page provides basic information about the device.

  • The column on the left shows identification information about the device and has a page button leading to the Authentication Settings page.
  • The column on the right has a list of the 9 modules and their basic information.

Alarm

This page contains a single table, which lists all the active alarms of the device.

CAS Settings

This page contains a list of all the CAS-related settings. The following groups are displayed:

  • DVB Settings
  • DVB Session Based
  • Privacy Mode Settings
  • CAS Properties
  • DVB Tier Based
  • ECM Group Table: A table with the ECM groups. To delete one or more rows, set the value in the Delete ECM column to true and then click the Delete Selected button below the table. To add a row, click the Add ECM. page button, enter new values, and click the Set ECM button to add the new row. Note: When editing, adding and removing rows, it is important that you wait for each action to synchronise. If new changes are sent before the DMA is updated, the previous changes might be lost.

IP Settings

The settings on this page are divided over the following three tables:

  • Ethernet Table
  • Gigabit Ethernet Table
  • Routing Table

In addition, a toggle button at the top of the page allows you to enable or disable the ETH2 port.

NTP Settings

On this page, you can change the settings of the NTP server, including the Server IP Address, Time Offset (time zone), Daylight Saving Status (DST), Location (continent) and City / Province.

You can also set the date and time without synchronizing with a server on the pop-up page Change Time.

VOD Settings

This page contains the following VOD settings:

  • Session Inactivity Teardown Threshold
  • Allow Auto Detection
  • PID Remapping Method
  • PID Range Start
  • PID Range End
  • PAT Interval
  • PMT Interval
  • Update PMT Version
  • Create SAT
  • Original Network ID
  • Serving Area Location In SAT

ECMG

This page displays the communication parameters sent to the ECMG. Up to 10 ECMGs are supported.

Note: A row must be active for the settings to be saved. The NSG9000 clears inactive rows.
