Back – RS232 The Instreamer ICE provides an RS-232 serial interface. The RS-232 interface is supplied via a 9-pin sub D male connector, wired as a DTE. The connector's DTE wiring is similar to a personal computer's serial port, as defined in the following table.
- Page 11 To insert metadata over RS232, connect your PC with a serial null-modem cable or a serial cross cable to the Instreamer ICE. On the PC, open a serial terminal emulator ( e.g. Termite or Hyperterminal) with following settings115200 baud, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control.

- Page 24 192.168.0.40 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. For the sake of this example, assume that the Instreamer ICE wants to send a stream to a device at 192.168.0.32. Since this device is on the same subnet, (it shares the 192.10.0 portion of the IP address) the stream can be sent directly to the device at 192.10.0.32.
- Page 25 An IP address with a host address portion of all 1's implies a "broadcast" to all devices on the subnet. If the Instreamer ICE has an IP address of 192.10.0.40 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0, the broadcast address for this subnet is 192.10.0.255. No device on the network, including the Instreamer ICE can have an IP address of 192.10.0.255.
