Page 7: General Introduction
If the device is connected to a PC / laptop by means of one of the network ports and once the PC/laptop has been appropriately configured by means of the network settings, configuration of the U 261 can be started following input of the IP address in the address line of the Web browser. 3.2 The web browser user interface The web browser user interface is split into a topframe, leftframe and mainframe. -

The generated data stream comprises zero packets with a length of 188 and can be configured in a range from 1 - 197 Mbps. If the system contains several U 261 Gateways, a packet ID can be allocated to distinguish the test signals. -
Page 12: Ip Setting For Transmission And Reception Mode
Clicking on the "IP TX & IP RX" submenu takes you to the settings for the transmission and recep- tion modes of the U 261. This page provides an overview of the transmission port (IP TX) of the U 261, the general settings of the reception ports (IP RX Common Settings) and the detailed set- tings of the reception ports (IP RX Channel Settings). -

IP. Usually, a multicast address is input here, since this allows the data stream to be received by several U 261 Gateways. By contrast, a unicast address can be received only by one U 261 Gateway. -

9.5 VLAN Tags If the U 261 Gateway is intended to cover various VLANs, it is possible for the data packets to be assigned different VLAN tags. This ensures that data packets are routed only to the desired VLANs, or each VLAN receives only the data packets which are intended for it. -

Figure 14: Setting details for the reception port The "Receive IP:Port" line is used to input the IP address and the UDP port at which the U 261 Gateway needs to receive the data stream. User Guide U 261... - Page 16 A data stream can arrive with a CBR (Constant Bit Ratio) in the U 261 Gateway, or with a VBR (Variable Bit Ratio). In any case, CBR is used for MPTSs (Multiple Program Transport Stream) but also for SPTSs (Single Program Transport Stream).

Page 17: Configuring The Output Multiplexer
The "Output Mux Settings" are used to assign an IP RX port to each ASI output of the U 261 Gate- way. An IP RX port can also be routed to several ASI outputs, so that the U 261 can also be used as an ASI distributor. -

This makes it possible to avoid confusing appliances and locations when configuring remotely. 13 Transport Stream Analysis By purchasing a license, the U 261 can be equipped with a transport stream analyzer. This ana- lyzer shows the structure of the MPEG2 TS from the tables to the individual PID and its service. - Page 19 Wait until the "...done!" message appears. Clicking on the "+" or "-" symbols displays or hides the details. Through selection of the "ASI TP" as the TS to be analyzed, the TS analyzer also provides the option of analyzing externally applied ASI signals. User Guide U 261...

15.2 Update using the example of a TFTP Server for Windows Should there be no firm (T)FTP server set up for updating the U 261 Gateway, it is also possible to transfer locally stored update files to the Gateway. For this, it is recommended that a TFTP pro- gram be used. - Page 22 The "tftpd32" program is started directly from the folder with the U 261 update files. In the window that opens, click on the "Settings" button first and make the settings as shown in Figure 21: Figure 21: Settings for the tftpd32 TFTP program To start the update, the server address which is input into the "(T)FTP Server address"...
