Sencore AG 2600

The AG 2600 is an Integrated Receiver/Decoder (IRD) card used as a turnaround product capable of receiving a transport stream from ASI, IP and DVB-S/S2 interfaces and converting it to ASI and/or IP output. It can also descramble BISS and DVB-CI scrambling.

This connector allows you to monitor the status and configuration of the AG 2600 module. It retrieves device status information and sets configuration data using SNMP.

Creation

SNMP connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

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

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device (default value: public).
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device (default value: private).

How to use

The element consists of the data pages detailed below.

General

Contains general information such as the system uptime and the contact person for this system.

Inputs

Contains information about the different interfaces from which the AG 2600 device can receive a transport stream. The active input source that is currently being used and the other available input sources are displayed.

Several page buttons are available, which display status information and settings: MPEG/IP Inputs, DVB-S2 and ASI.

Conditional Access

Contains information about the Condition Access Module (CAM) slot and the selected services/PIDs to descramble. The Services page button displays status information and user-configurable data of the available services.

PID Filter

Contains the PID filter table, as well as a page button that shows the selected services/PIDs under each PID filter. On the subpage, you can also configure the TS bitrate, Table Processing Mode and the Selection Mode.

Outputs

Contains information about the different output transport streams. Two page buttons are available that show additional status information and settings for MPEG/IP and MPE (Multi-Protocol Encapsulation).

Admin

Contains general settings. More specific settings and configuration information are available via page buttons:

  • MPEG/IP Network Configuration: Contains Default Gateway, ICMP Response and TCP/IP settings for the MPEG/IP ports.
  • Unit Network: Contains port configuration settings.
  • Profiles: Allows you to create, rename and delete profiles. All the created and saved profiles are also displayed on this subpage.
