SCTE CONTROL
On the GTP-32 Control Processor
Rev 1.0 111414
GETTING STARTED……
A quick guide to configuring the GTP-32 to generate SCTE commands. A serial or Ethernet connection from the GTP-32 to the SCTE Inserter is required.
1.
On the DNF Web page, navigate to the Protocol Assignment page link located at the top left of the DNF header.
2.
Click on the Edit Protocol Assignment Table link and select the correct physical connector, channel label and protocol.
Physical Connector: On Control Channel 1, 2, 3 or 4, in the Physical Connector column, select Serial or Ethernet.
Channel Label: Enter a label that will easily identify what the channel is controlling. Enter 1 – 15 alphanumeric characters.
Control Protocol: Select “scte” in the drop down menu
Example:

3.
Navigate back to the Protocol Assignment page and click on Edit under the “PHY
Config” column, on the SCTE control channel, to configure the serial or Ethernet connection.
Ethernet:
Enter the IP address and Port number of the SCTE Inserter that the GTP-32 will send commands to.
Serial:
Enter the Baud Rate, Number of Stop Bits, Parity, and Character Size(Data bits) to match the SCTE Inserter settings.
Set Operation Mode to Controller. (Assumes SCTE Inserter serial port is Device /
Slave type).
Set Interface Type to RS422 or RS232 to match SCTE Inserter. If RS232 is selected, Operation Mode is not used and port is configured as DTE. A NULL modem may be required. Check SCTE Inserter port configuration.
NOTE- The Protocol Assignment page Status column will show “Connected” when the GTP-32 successfully connects to and communicates with the SCTE
Inserter.
4.
Navigate back to the Protocol Assignment page and click on Edit under the
“Device Config” column, on the SCTE control channel, to configure the DPI PID
Index and AS Index.

5.
Navigate back to the Protocol Assignment page and click on Heartbeat Rate under the “Device Config” column, on the SCTE control channel, to set the status polling rate. The recommended setting is “5 seconds”.
6.
Navigate back to the Protocol Assignment page and click on Action Definitions under the “Definitions” column, on the SCTE control channel, to create SCTE commands.
Click on Add to create a multi-operation SCTE command.
Enter a unique Action Label.
Enter an action description to easily identify the purpose of the command.
The DPI PID Index and AS Index reflect values entered in Device Configuration.
Select up to 5 SCTE OP IDs to include in command.
