--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Lynx DVD5420 ASI-Distributor. One driver instance controls one 2:8 distribution module in the device. To control a complete frame with multiple distribution modules you have to configure multiple sat-nms devices.
The Lynx DVD5420 ASI-Distributor is controlled by means of a text based protocol running over a TCP/IP socket connection. Hence, Lynx DVD5420 are to be configured in the same way than devices controlled through a TCP/IP to serial adapter / terminal server. The default port used by the device is 2306. The Port specification for a device with the IP address 10.0.0.1 would be "10.0.0.1:2306".
If multiple devices are set up to control the modules in one rack frame, the devices all must be assigned to the same port / device thread.
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 .

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 DVD5420 ASI-Distributor.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | This value addresses the module slot within the 10 inch rack frame. You may specify the complete address as described in the Lynx protocol documentation. For a single rack frame it is sufficient to set the slot number (slot numbering starts with 1 beside the power supply). |
| user | The user name to log on to the device. The factory default of the DVD5420 ASI-Distributor is "user". |
| password | The password to log on to the device. The factory default of the DVD5420 ASI-Distributor is "lynx$ctrl". |
| readBackDelay | This parameter defines the time (milliseconds), the driver waits at least before it reads back a parameter which just has been changed. |
