CDD-880 Multi Receiver Router
Appendix F
a) The target box shows all zeros, which means that any packet destined to the subnets
shown here causes the VMS to set up a mesh connection.
b) Enter a Label that is easy to remember, such as the name of the target remote (e.g.,
Remote 2).
c) Enter the network Address for the remote subnet.
d) Enter the subnet Mask.
e) Click [Add]. The network Address and subnet Mask appear in the Destinations window.
3. Add CDD-880 Expansion Units to Antenna View. To set up a mesh, the VMS must have
available CDD-880 Expansion Units at the target remote site. Remote site mesh units must
be dropped on the antenna and made available as shown here:
Note that this is the antenna view for R2 (Remote 2) and Demodulator #1 of this remote
site's CDD-880 Expansion Unit is already involved in a mesh with R1 (Remote 1).
4. Define your filtering rules. The VMS dynamically enters filters at the Hub demodulator(s)
when it sets up a mesh. It does this to prevent loops and duplicate packets on the network.
Filters are also a function of the mesh location at the remote site. The CDD-880 HTTP
Interface Configuration | Network | Routing page (Figure F-3) defaults the Mesh Location
to Hub.
To ensure proper operation and to prevent network loops, you MUST make
sure that each remote site CDD-880 Expansion Unit has its Mesh Location set to
Remote. The inset in Figure F-3 shows such a Mesh Location setting.
See Sect. 6.3.3.3.1 Configuration | Network | Routing in Chapter 6. ETHERNET-
BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT in this manual for details about using
this interface.
