Description

The L-IP fills the gap between CEA-709 installations and

IP networks. It can tunnel CEA-709 packets back and forth through an arbitrary IP-based network, such as

LAN, an Intranet, or even the Internet. The L-IP connects to the IP network via an Ethernet channel. Available

CEA-709 transceivers include TP/FT-10 and TP/XF-1250.

The installation of an L-IP router requires little effort.

The IP configuration can either be obtained via DHCP or entered manually. The user only needs to provide the IP address of an CEA-852 configuration server.

If operated behind a router with network address translation (NAT or masquerading), the L-IP supports

Auto-NAT to work with dynamic public IP addresses.

When using the built-in CEA-852 configuration server, the user can edit and backup the IP channel configuration through the built-in web server. The configuration is stored persistently and the device operates completely standalone.

After installation, the L-IP is ready to route packets between the CEA-709 network and the

IP network. Thus, all CEA-709 networks connected to L-IPs can exchange data over the CEA-852 channel. If connected to untrusted networks, such as the Internet, all CEA-852 packets can be authenticated by an MD5 checksum and time stamps.

Besides its primary router operation, the L-IP is a powerful network diagnostics device. Its simple and intuitive user interface provides an immediate overview over the network status.

Both the CEA-852 channel and CEA-709 network can be observed with 6 status LEDs. For troubleshooting, the L-IP supports the remote LPA (LOYTEC Protocol

Analyzer) functionality so that the network can be analyzed from any PC connected to the Internet.

With the L-Switch XP and the L-IP, setting up a wide area network infrastructure becomes an easy task.

CEA-709/IP-852 Router

L-IP

A rather complex example for an L–IP deployment is shown below. In this scenario, the CEA-709 networks of two geographically separated facilites have to be connected. At both locations,the CEA-709 networks are connected to the company's IP network with an L–IP router. The L–IP (labeled CS) acts as a configuration server in addition to its routing functionality. Typically, company branches are connected via firewalls with network address translation like cable or DSL routers which is supported by the L-IPs.

After installation and configuration,the CEA-709 networks are connected and can start to exchange data. Since in

Smart Switch Mode the L–IPs can learn the network topology automatically,no further configuration is needed. For network troubleshooting,the maintenance staff can remotely analyze the network of facility 1 with a Remote LPA protocol analyzer running on any PC attached to the LAN in facility 2.
