    (5cm) should be allowed for ventilation. In a 19inch rack mounted environment domo recommends leaving 1U clearance above and below the NETIPHW2 unit to ensure the unit does not overheat. 7.6 Network Requirements The IP Hardware decoder should be connected to an Ethernet network with the following characteristics.
  • Page 16: Initial Ip Setup

    7.7 Initial IP Setup This step is only required if the IP address of the unit is not known. This procedure allows the user to give a temporary IP address to the Ethernet port marked Main. This port can then be used to access the unit’s browser interface and do a complete setup.
  • Page 17: Powering On The System

    7.8 Powering on the System All external connection to the IP Hardware Decoder products should be made, as described in the previous sections, before proceeding to power on the system. On powering the IP Hardware Decoder, the system will boot in approx. 45 seconds, although a blue screen will be visible on the video outputs within a few seconds of applying power.
  • Page 18: Using The Browser Controller

    7.9 Using the Browser Controller Each channel within the IP Hardware Decoder is controlled from a standard web browser running on the user’s PC or laptop. In order to access the IP Decoder’s browser interface, the first step is to make sure the PC or laptop is on the same subnet as the IP Decoder.
  • Page 19: Playing A Stream

    7.10 Playing a Stream Clicking on the View Stream link on the main page will show the Stream List. The actual view depends on how many streams are visible on the network. The image below shows three available streams.
  • Page 20 To play a stream, the first step is to scan the required multicast to see how many services it carries. Click on the Scan button, and within two or three seconds a list of available services will appear. If the streamer has RS232 link capabilities (like the domo IP Insertion Node or Central Receiver) the link between the streamer and the IP Decoder will be automatically established at this point.
  • Page 21 Any services found in the stream will be displayed as shown below. The number of available services should be between one and four, depending on the streamer used. If no services appear in the list or if the list appears to be incomplete, click on Exit Stream, and then click on Scan Stream again.
  • Page 22 To play a stream, simply click the relevant Play button. The page will change To stop playing the stream, click the stop button.
