1.61 Ateme-Kyrion-CM5000

This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Ateme Kyrion CM5000 video encoder / modulator. The driver evaluates if a modulator module (L-Band or IF) is present at slot 6 and shows the modulator specific parameters only if a modulator module is detected.

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

• --- RF / modulator parameters (only shown if a modulator was detected at slot 6.)
• --- MPEG output parameters
• --- C/A encryption parameters
• --- Video parameters
• --- Audio 1 parameters
• --- Audio 2 parameters
• --- Audio 3 parameters
• --- Audio 4 parameters
• --- Audio 5 parameters
• --- Audio 6 parameters
• --- Audio 7 parameters
• --- Audio 8 parameters
• --- Device fault list
• --- The faults page.
• --- The device info page.
• --- The maintenance page.

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the encoder.

• parameter --- description

• address --- The SNMP address specification for the device. The full address specification consists of the following fields:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp read-community write-community

  • aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd --- The IP address of the device in 'dotted quad' notation. This field is mandatory.
  • pppp --- The IP port number where the device accepts SNMP requests. The port number may be omitted, the driver uses the standard port 161 in this case.
  • read-community --- The SNMP read community name. This must match the read community expected by the device.
  • write-community --- The SNMP write community name. This must match the write community expected by the device. The write community name may be omitted, the driver uses the read community name for both, read and write in this case. If both community names are missing, the driver uses 'public' as a default for read and write community.

• loFreq --- The BUC LO frequency to be included in the displayed frequency reading. Set this to 0 if the driver shall display the transmit frequency as L-band.

• loPol --- Selects if the BUC introduces a frequency inversion. Set this to NORMAL if the LO frequency is below the transmit frequency, INVERT if the LO frequency is above.

• deviceComment --- An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines.
