The ECP MANAGER LITE is the browser based GUI. Users can access to management of all ECP/EUP-2808/16 series and its connected IEEE1901-HPAV standard transmitters. • The ECP MANAGER software allows managing multiple INTERCOAX Managed Receivers remotely from the central management office. With the ECP MANAGER software, users can access to all connected IEEE1901-HPAV standard transmitters.
4.3. Installing ECP Manager To download the ECP Manager and its prerequisites, please visit www.intercoax-emea.com in your browser: In the top navigation bar, select 'Support': In the filter, select 'Software': Click on the download button next to 'ECPManager_v3.0.zip' to download the file: Save the .zip file where you want and unpack it with your preferred unpacking software (WinRAR, 7Zip, etc.) Go into the unpacked folder and install the prerequisites. If you use Windows 7 or lower, you need to run the ‘dotNetFx45_Full_stup’ installer for the .NET 4.5 Framework. When using Windows 8 or higher, this step is not necessary.
Page 16
Next, you need to install the second prerequisite, the SSCE Runtime software. There are two options, 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit, depending on your Operating System. When in doubt, start with running the 64-bit installer: If an error shows up explaining your Operating System does not support x64 software, use the other installer: Follow the instructions in the installer to finish the installation.
Page 17
After the installation has finished, ECP Manager will start automatically. When never having installed ECP Manager before, ECP Manager will create a new folder and database: Continue at all the message boxes: ECP Manager will open up with the login screen showing: If a Windows Security Alert is displayed, tick both boxes and select ‘Allow Access’: You are now ready to start using ECP Manager.
4.4. Setting up ECP Manager 4.4.1. Setting up Groups and ECP units Start ECP Manager, if it is not running already. It will show the login screen. Use the credentials ‘admin’ and password ‘admin’ to log in: In the left navigation panel, select ‘ECP Config’: In the ‘Group Configuration’ tab, you can set up groups of RM units to monitor. These can be individually enabled or disabled to monitor different groups of RM units in separate buildings/ networks.
Page 19
Next, select the ‘ECP Configuration’ tab to add RM units to the Group we made just now. Fill out the information to add the RM you would like to manage and monitor: Select the Group we just made, the model you have, and give up the IP of the RM device. The standard IP Address of all RM units is 192.168.4.17. Give up a desired Location and set the monitoring settings.
Page 20
Most likely, the unit we added will not be detected yet: When the ‘Check’ shows, this means your ECP Manager cannot connect to any RM units in your enabled Groups. When an Orange ‘Check’ shows, ECP Manager cannot connect to some but not all RM units in your enabled Groups.
4.4.2. Admin Window • The initial administrator ID & Password is set to “admin” and you will need to configure the password in the admin window. • The administrator has full access to all users. • The administrator account cannot be deleted. • Please change this password regularly for your security. - Manager level: Select the user level. Only an administrator is allowed to create new account ID's and Password.
4.5. Configuring and monitoring RM units in ECP Manager 4.5.1. Changing the IP Address Having set up ECP Groups and ECP Units, we can now start with configuring and monitoring the units. We will go over all the functions in ECP Manager in detail : a lot of these functions are available as well in either the Web GUI or over SSH Commands.
Page 23
ECP Manager will now lose connection, because the IP Address of the RM we set up in ECP Manager is still 192.168.4.17, while the IP Address of the RM itself has changed to these new settings. Now connect your RM unit to your network, using the Ethernet Uplink Port and/or SFP Fiber uplink port. Connect your PC/Laptop to the same network, changing your adapter settings if necessary.
Now that we haved configured the basic IP Settings of the RM unit, changed the ECP Manager configuration to monitor the new IP, and saved this configuration of the RM permanently, we can look at some more detailed settings. 4.5.2. Join & Node Control After going into the RM unit by clicking on it in the ‘General’ tab, select the ‘Join & Node Control’ tab: In this tab, you can view any connected TX units and their MAC Addresses. Unless being very familiar with IEEE 1901 devices, do not change any settings! Any warranty will be void when changing these settings without official support.
Another function in the ‘Node Monitor’ tab is MAC Address Locking. When having connected all TX units and their IP end devices, it is possible to ‘Lock’ these devices by MAC Address. When one of the devices, for example a PoE camera, is replaced by an intruder with another IP device, a warning will be displayed for the RM in the ‘General’...
4.5.5. Traffic This tab is purely for info, displaying current and past 5 minutes traffic history. Traffic is shown individually per chipset, so per four ports, and for the SFP and UTP port. TX or RX traffic can be shown individually as well by using the check boxes. 4.5.6. Multicast When having the desire to use multicast on one or more of the IP end devices connected to the RM unit, for example in video streaming, it is necessary to use an IGMP Query Generator. When you want to have a device, for example a PoE camera, to stream a multicast stream, configure the camera ...
Add the Multicast IP to the list and make sure the IGMP Query Generator is applied: A virtual Multicast MAC Address will be added to the list, corresponding to the provided Multicast IP Addres: It is now possible to receive the Multicast stream from the IP end-device on the network. Do this for all needed Multicast IP Addresses.
Page 28
QoS Setting, Port Base Priority It is possible to set priority of a specific chipsets, so again per four channels. Assign a number from one to four to each channel, with 1 being lowest and 4 being highest priority: Confirm by using the ‘Set’ button. VLAN Setting, 2nd Network with SFP Uplink It is possible to place specific chipsets on a different internal VLAN, making them able to connect with a second network and be put in a different broadcast domain with the SFP uplink port, using untagged VLAN. For example: This will place chipset 3 and 4, so port 9-16, in a different untagged VLAN, allowing to send traffic from and to port 1-8 only over the Ethernet uplink port and traffic from and to port 9-16 only over the SFP uplink port. The management system will also be accessible from this 2nd IP Address in this 2nd network over the uplink port. To make the changes for these VLAN settings, press ‘Set’.

SNMP Community String It is possible to change the SNMP Read-Only and Read-Write Community Strings. Simply give up the desired values and click 'Change'. Configuration Backup and Configuration Restore With these functions, it is possible to respectively save your RM configuration to a file that you save on your PC/ Laptop, and inject these settings into an RM unit. To export your configuration, click the ‘Backup’ button and select a name and place to file the save to. To import this configuration file into an RM, click the ‘Restore’ button and select the file from which you want to ...
4.6. SNMP Using the SNMP protocol, the system or network administrator can monitor the device, using the Read-Only and Read-Write Community Strings. It is possible to simply test our SNMP functionality in ECP Manager, in the ‘SNMP’ page: Here, all SNMP values, both Read-Only and Read-Write can be found: To test a specific SNMP value, select a Group and ECP you have set up previously in ECP Manager, and click on the value you would like to test. The Community String will be filled out automatically : Click on ‘Get’, and if you are connected to the RM unit, it will display the SNMP value :...
Page 31
To test a Read-Write SNMP value, click on an RW value, click ‘Get’ to get the value, change the value and Click ‘Set’ to push the settings change: To make the configuration, click the ‘save’ button of the respective RM unit and reboot the unit. Warning: It is recommended to only use the SNMP Read-Only values. To change RM settings, it is recommended to use the ECP Manager RM configuration pages.
