1. Safety and operating instructions

SBL

When assembling, starting-up and adjusting the modules, it is necessary to consider the system specific references in the manual instruction.

The modules may only be installed and started up by authorized technical personnel. There are only permitted the mounting styles indicated in the quick start guide, which is included each module.

When assembling the modules into the receiving points, the adherence of the EMC regulations is to be ensured.

The assembly and wiring have to be done without voltage. For installation, only the supplied accessories (DIN rail clip with screws and 19“ accessories) may only be used.

All active modules may only be operated with the power supply HELIOS, HELIOS-P1 or QUASARIOS. To supply the module only the attached accessory cables are used.

The mains voltage and the operating voltage of the modules working by DC have to be in complience to the operating parameters described in the technical data.

With all work the defaults of the DIN EN 50083 have to be considered. Especially the safety relevant execution of the

DIN EN 60728-11[4] is necessary.

The unit should be mounted only vertically. The ventilation slots as well as the circulation perforation of the modules must be kept absolutely free.

If installed in mounting cabinets a adequate heat circulation must be guaranteed. The mounting in closed cabinets without air exchange is not allowed.

For DIN rail mounting is important to note that between the heat sink and a neighboring building, a distance of 2 cm is required. If the modules mounted on top of each, so to observe a distance of 20 cm from the bottom edge of the top module to top edge of the lower module.

For 19“ mounting all devices in the rack must be fitted with 19“ Edge Guide. The sole panel mounting is not enough!

Furthermore, the operation of a fully occupied rack is only allowed with an underlying 1-U fan box (at least 3 fans,

176 mm deep).

3. General

The Smart Business Line (SBL) is a modern head end system, that is distinguished by its modular and compact design. A userfriendly operating concept facilitates setup, configuration and maintenance of the system.

The PALOS-IPM2 module selects 8 programs from up to 8 adjacent IP transport streams or from an ASI transport stream and converts these into analoge TV signals to transmit it in cable networks. In this case, a maximum of 8 analog television channels are generated from the adjacent MPEG2 transport streams.

5. Functional description

The module receives a data stream via Gigabit Ethernet and can receive 8 transport streams from the included IP encapsulated transport streams. The 8 transport streams are further processed in 8 MPEG2 decoders. The analogue TV modulation and the freely adjustable up-converting in the cable network range (45 ... 862 MHz) is carried out by a high-performance FPGA.

The eightfold modulator is adjacent channel compatible. A highly-clocked digital to analogue converter (DAC) is responsible for the spectrally pure output of the cable signal. After amplification and sum level adjustment, the cable signal is coupled through a directional coupler to the output jacks.

7. Adjusting by web server

SBL

7.1 Network connection to the computer

System requirements:

- PC/ laptop with 10/ 100 Mbit Ethernet interface

- Internet browser (e.g. Windows Internet Explorer), which accept JAVA script.

Setup the connection:

The PALIOS-IPM2 module has to connected to PC network using an Ethernet cable.The IP address of the PALIOS-IPM2 module is

192.168.1.100 on delivery. If several SBL modules should be controlled or adjusted via an Ethernet switch, each module must first be converted individually to its provided IP address within the network. To that the address of the network port on the PC (temporary) must be adapted to the IP address of the SBL module (subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, IP address: 192.168.1.XXX, where XXX is not the same as the corresponding value of the SBL module IP address).

After the network configuration of the module(s) the IP address of the control PC is converted to the provided IP address and the modules can be accessed through the browser with their new IP addresses. First appears the login window, if the password and user testing were activated on the setup page (see chapter 7.2.5):

After successful registration or successful connection establishment without password (default setting) the start page of the module is charging.

In this module, the setting is made solely in expert mode. In addition, the language selection is possible between German and English top right.

7.2 Setting of individual parameters

SBL

In the operating mode via the website, you can set certain parameters of the module or perform configurations on the module or the user interface. The various setting menus can be selected in the navigation tree on the left side. The setting is supported by an online help. Touching the parameters by the mouse in the lower part of the site an orange colored text box appears with explanations for each parameter. By setting in the “Setup“ menu (see chapter 7.2.5) may be selected so that the help appears in the status bar of your browser. If appropriate setting changes in the browser options are necessary.

In addition, in the lower part of the navigation tree status information for the module is displayed. By changing the setup menu, the status information can also be moved to the right (see also chapter 7.2.5). All 8 channels are listed individually. A green LED symbol before the “channel ...“ means that both input and output are synchronized and that the channel operates without error. An orangecolored symbol indicates that an error has occurred in that channel. An overview of the status of various parameters of the channel is obtained by double-clicking the corresponding channel. In the browser interface, a status overview appears.

7

PALIOS-IPM2

Part N o

: 5105.01



→ ATV (8x AM)

SBL

A transparent LED symbol means that the channel is not programmed and set, or the RF output is turned off. Furthermore, we obtain the same way status information about the system parameters. In this case too an orange-colored LED symbol displays an error state during which a green LED symbol displays error-free working condition. The detailed status information is available by double clicking the name field.

The last display point indicates the connection status between the network interface and the module. Green means, that the connection is established. A transparent LED light indicates that there is no connection or the connection is failed.

Settings with the selection box or input fields are taken over by pressing the “send“ button and stored permanently, and the

PALIOS-IPM2 module is set on these values after a restart too. Settings with the click box are usually performed immediately but not stored in memory, so they would be lost on a possible restart of the module. To save these settings the “send“ button must be pressed.

7.2.1 Menu ”Overview”

This page provides a status overview of the 8 channels. If a channel is working without errors, “SYNC“ is displayed. If errors occur you will see an “Error“ display. If the RF power is switched off the display „Off“ appears behind the respective channel.

In addition, under the status window there is the head end display. There all SBL modules are listed, which are in the same network and which have been selected to the head end in the setup menu (see 7.2.5). This is significant because functions over all modules such as the NIT processing between QAMOS/ QAMOS-4CI modules can be extended to all components of the head end. The individual components of a head end are listed with their IP address, which is also provided with a link to this address, so you can switch easily to the next module. If no head end was created, a “Search“ button appears, which forwards to the setup menu and scans the network for other SBL modules. Then all available modules are listed, can be selected and added to the head end.

By clicking the “Logout“ button the user logs out of the module and the login window appears. By pressing the “Standby“ button the module is set into standby, which is displayed by a amber illuminating POWER LED on the module. The “Standby“ button will be replaced by an “ON“ button, and by pressing of that the module will be set on.

SBL

In this menu there is the network configuration of the IP input section of the 8 IP transport streams from which then the 8 desired programs for transmitting can be selected.

First the network settings for the two stream ports are to configure. It should be noted that the stream port 2 is available only after enabled software option (see Section 7.2.5). Per port, the IP address, subnet mask and gateway are to be entered.

The next step is to configure the setup parameters of the 8 IP input transport streams. Moreover, its IP address, port and transport protocol (UDP or RTP ) can be entered. Everything is confirmed by pressing the “send“ button.

If not all 8 ports are used, then the unused ports can be disabled by entering the IP address 0.0.0.0.

System administration

The default is displaying of the shortened list of files (top).

Backup

Here the system files can be loaded or saved as a package (except logbook.

If under “GUI setup“ “Display all system files“ is selected, the system files can also be loaded or saved separately (see figure below). Moreover, additional system files can be added.

Update

By clicking the “Load“ button, the internal software components can always be brought up to date.

If the “PAL-Rollback“ option is enabled, it is possible to convert the PALIOS-IPM2 module into a QAMOS-IP module via software update, what can be done reversed when needed as well. So after clicking the “Load“ button instead of the current PALIOS-IPM2 releases the current QAMOS-IP release is to select and then perform theupdate process.

If the option is not enabled, after selecting the QAMOS-IP releases appears opposite error message, so that accidental conversion is not possible.

Pressing the button “View logbook“ leads to an overview, in which all the processes have been documented since the start of the GUI.

In this field, possible software options for the PALIOS-IPM2 module can be enabled. The registration code must be entered in the input field and by pressing the “Send“ button the option will be activated. Activated options are displayed in black, inactive are grayed out.

note

To convert a PALIOS-IPM2 into a QAMOS-IP, after switched to free “PAL roll back“ option,the update process can be performed (see System administration → update).

Date and time

Clicking on the “Set“ button, the date and time will be set to that of the PC.

Web server

This setting appears only when you are logged in as administrator, so also has the authority to make administrative changes.

The PALIOS-IPM2 supports the DHCP functionality. There DHCP-Client is factory default. Note, that after each factory reset the PALIOS-IPM2 is set “DHCP-Client“.

If the DHCP functionality is set to “Off“, in the appropriate fields the IP number, subnet mask and gateway can be manually entered and then the settings of the

PALIOS-IPM2 module are adapted to the network.

If the module is set as “DHCP-Client“, so it is automatically obtained on the network an IP address from the DHCP server. The manual network settings are grayed out and are therefore disabled.

By pressing the “Info“ button the automatically assigned network configuration of the module is displayed.

If the module is set as “DHCP-Server“ note, that the IP address 192.168.1.100

should not be set. If you select this address, you will get an error message. In addition to the IP settings you can configure the DHCP range from which the IP addresses of the connected clients are assigned. The address range must match the address range according to IP address and subnet mask of the server and should not be too small. The default is the area 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.99.

Along with the DHCP server will also set up a local DNS (Domain Name Server).

To use it in full extend a connected PC/ laptop must be configured as a DHCP client. Especially on Windows is to be noted that not only the IP address, but also the DNS server address automatically is to relate.

If the module is configured as a DHCP server or client and the client has received an IP address successfully, so the module can be accessed via a web browser with a name. This name is composed of the prefix “sbl“ and the device number that is printed on the back of the module and on the packaging. For example, the device with the number 0123456 is be called under “sbl0123456“. Should there be problems with it among the local network conditions, so in these cases the domain is to add when you call. In the case that the above module is configured as a server, the call using the domain is then “sbl0123456.sbl“. If another DHCP server is used, for example, the server of the home network, ask your administrator for the domain name.

An example of the simplification of the configuration or operation of the head end via DHCP, is, that an SBL module is as a server, the remaining modules and the connected PC/ laptop are configured as a client. By calling the browser “dhcp.sbl“ the surface of the server module is loaded. If not already done so, now the head end can be read. So all connected components are found and listed. The head end can now be stored in the “Setup“ menu under the item “System administration“. In the head end overview can be changed quickly to the user interface of any other module by selecting the respective modules links.

With the selector “Version“ you can select the SNMP version (version 1, 2 or 3). In the two boxes below it, the communities for versions 1 and 2 are given separately for reading and writing via SNMP. In version 3, these two fields are disabled. There, all registered users of the module (see menu “Passwords“) have an automatic read access to SNMP.

The write access can be enabled or disabled for each user by clicking the SNMPclick box in the “Passwords“ menu.

By clicking the “MIB“ button the MIB of the module is generated and can be stored.

In the second section the trap settings are done. First, the trap version is selected:

V1 trap - normal traps according SNMPv1 with specified community

V2 trap - normal traps according SNMPv2 with specified community

V2 inform - sends information traps according SNMPv2 and waits for an acknowledgment

V3 trap - normal traps according SNMPv3

V3 inform - sends information traps according SNMPv3 and waits for an acknowledgment

The community can be configured for traps of SNMP versions v1 and v2. User/ password and use the network MAC address as the engine ID can be configured for traps of SNMP version v3. These settings must correspond with the configuration of the trap receiver, so traps are successfully transferred. For this purpose a test trap can be sent by clicking the button “Test“ to test the transmission of traps. If a test trap triggered, all pre-preserved traps discarded.

There up to 256 IP addresses to receive the traps can be created or enabled.

These are listed under “Receiver IP“. Below, the events can be configured, whether and partly with what thresholds they should trigger traps. There are three ways to configure a trap:

- without parameters, e.g. fan on/ off

- with a freely selectable parameters for a medium priority

- with a selectable parameter from a list for a medium priority

References and notes:

All users are supposed to work with SNMPv3 must use passwords with at least 8 characters. For SNMPv3 the SBL supports only the authentication password, not the privacy password. The SBL only supports the MD5 algorithm for authentication password in

SNMPv3.

Information traps are specific traps that are possible up to SNMPv2. If there is no acknowledgment of the receiver, the transmitter attempting to transmit later again, until the confirmation is received.

A SBL-module holds up to 256 before information traps that could not be sent successfully. If there are more waste traps, the earlier traps are discarded and noted in the logbook as having failed. A successful sent trap is also registered as such in the logbook. In case of power failure or reboot of the module reproached traps are lost.

Details may be found in the help text for each event. The critical priorities are each covered with fixed values that can not be changed.

If the web site of PALIOS-IPM2 module is open, no changes are possible via SNMP.

Passwords

Again, this setting appears only when you are logged in as administrator, giving it the authority to make administrative changes. In addition it must be clicked the box “User and keyword check“ in the submenu “GUI settings“. The user ID and password for the administrator can be set in then the first line. The fixing of up to

8 user identification and passwords-is possible. The limitations of user rights exist only in the fact that they are not authorized to change web server settings, user rights and password changes and default settings.

The default password for the admin is: 1111 and for the users: 0000

If the SNMP option is enabled, after each user appears an SNMP-click box. By clicking on the box, the writing rights for individual users can be awarded for the

SNMP version 3 (see also section SNMP option).

7.2.6 Menu ”Service”



→ ATV (8x AM)

SBL

In this menu you will find all information about the service/ support for the PALIOS-IPM2 module. There are given the BLANKOM service hotline and the service email address. In addition, the implemented operating instructions may be called as a PDF. If there is an internet connection the BLANKOM homepage can be started. There, the latest software release or descriptions are available. Finally, the currently installed software release appears.

7.2.7 Menu ”Level”

First you choose with the top box, if you would like to use the loop through output (loop) or not. If so, the underlying selection of the nominal level for all 8 channels may be set in the range from 62 ... 82 dBµV. If the loop is disabled, the output level of the 8 channels may be set in the range of 76 ... 94 dBµV. Below each channel can be set individually with an offset of +3 ... -6 dB in 0.5 dB steps. The three lower buttons are used to simplify the offset level setting if you want to perform same adjusting for all 8 channels. With the left button the offset for all 8 channels is increased by 0.5 dB, decreased with the right button by 0.5 dB. The offset is set for all 8 channels to 0 dB with the middle button.

7.2.8 Menu ”Status”



→ ATV (8x AM)

SBL

It presents an overview of the status of the various components per channel, which is updated every 5 seconds. It lists only the current values, the naming of the parameter appears in the help box in the lower part of the user interface or in the status bar of the browser (as adopted configuration), if you approach the mouse cursor to the parameter. The listing is in 2 groups: modulators, and system. With the selection box at the top right you determine whether you have an overall view or only one of the 2 groups is listed.

8. Factory settings

A short pressing of the reset button on the front of the module causes a reboot, i.e. the module restarts and all stored values are adjusted. If the module is to be reset to factory settings, the reset button must be pressed so long to keep up until the “POWER“ and

“SYSTEM“ LED will illuminate green permanently again. This process takes about 15 seconds. In this case the module is set to the following:
