Telvue HyperCaster AIO+ Quick Start Manual

Install your HyperCaster in a Rack
The B2000+ ships with rails for mounting in a standard 19" wide, 32" deep rack with universal
square rack holes, as well as adapter brackets for mounting in a rack with 10/32 screws. If you
are unable to fit the rails in your rack, TelVue suggests using rack shelves to support the unit from
below. See the hardware manual sheet that came with your rails for detailed instructions on
installing the rails. It is recommended that you install the HyperCaster in a climate-controlled
environment.
Quick Overview of Racking a B2000+ HyperCaster
• Remove the inner rails from the outer rails. These will need to be attached to the sides of the
server. The inner rail sections will slide out partially, exposing small plastic levers that need to
be depressed in order to fully disengage the inner rails.
• Attach the outer rails to the front of the rack.
• Attach the inner rails to the server.
• Extend the sliding portion of the outer rails from the rack.
• Align the inner rails of your appliance with outer rails of the rack.
• Slide your appliance into the rack until the rails click into place.

B100+ models do not need rails. Bolt the ears to your rack.
Plug in Power and Turn On Unit
Depending on your model, some TelVue appliances include multiple power supplies. You should
plug in all available power supplies for proper redundant operation.
TelVue recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
Press the power button on the top right of the front panel on your HyperCaster to turn power on.

NOTE: The LCD screen on the front of the B2000+ is unused.
Add the HyperCaster to Your Network
There are three methods to set the IP address for your appliance to add it to your network. Each
involves making initial settings to the appliance, then logging into the web-based user interface to
complete the setup. Note that out of the box, eth0 is set to DHCP, and eth1 is set to static IP
192.168.0.240/24 (255.255.255.0). Generally, eth0 should be used for control, and eth1 for
video (if multicasting video). Some models have additional eth2 and eth3 options, for either fiber
or copper connections.
Method 1: Web Login to Configure Networking
• Manually set your laptop or desktop computer's ethernet IP address to an address on the
192.168.0.0/24 network, but do not use 192.168.0.240.
• Connect a network cable from your computer directly to eth1 and login to the web interface
using the default IP: 192.168.0.240.
• At the login screen, enter psgadmin for both the username and password.
• The IP configurations can be found in the Config Tab under Networking > Interfaces. Set your
eth0 static IP, subnet mask, and gateway.
• To set DNS, go to Config > Networking >DNS

Method 2: Console Login to Configure Networking
You can access and set the basic networking parameters of your TelVue HyperCaster server by
connecting a USB keyboard and VGA monitor to the back of the server. All other interactions with the
server must be done through the web interface after the server is integrated into your network.
• Once the system is fully booted, press Alt+F1 to bring up the prompt.
• Login with username "config" and password "config."
NOTE: You will not see the cursor move when you type the password.
• Use the down arrow to highlight Configure Networking.
• Select eth0.
• Select Change to/from using DHCP. When prompted to use a static IP address, enter Y.
• Enter the desired IP address, netmask, and gateway for eth0.
• Select Submit and Test Changes.
• Select Exit Configuration.
Method 3: LCD to Configure Networking (for B100+)
• Press Down and Enter on the LCD to access the menu.
• The up and down arrows can be used to select which interface to configure. Once the appropriate
interface has been found, press Enter to continue with the configuration process.
• Select Yes by using the up and down arrows at the DHCP menu to configure the selected ethernet
device automatically.
• To specify the IP address statically, select No using the up and down arrows at the DHCP menu and
press Enter. Then use the left and right arrows to select the part of the IP address to modify. Use the up
and down arrows to adjust its value. An underscore will appear below the part of the IP address that
is being modified.
• Once a valid IP address has been entered, press Enter to accept.
• Configure the subnet mask and default gateway using the left and right arrows to select the digits of
the addresses to modify. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the value. An underscore will appear
below the digit that is being modified. Press Enter to accept.
Optionally connect the IPMI port to your network. Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is an
optional network connection that allows TelVue to provide the highest level of Technical Support for your
HyperCaster. See https://telvue.com/knowledgebase/ipmi for more info.
IP ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT
DHCP – Dynamic Host Con guration Protocol - Your appliance will
acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. This isn't ideal for an
appliance like your TelVue broadcast server because your server
®
may be assigned a new IP address unexpectedly, and it can be
hard to determine what its current IP address is.
Static IP - You set an IP address during configuration and the
appliance always uses that IP address. This is the preferred method
because you always know what the IP address is. You will need an
available IP address on your network, outside the DHCP range.
Contact your IT department to get one.

®
DHCP Reservation - The reservation tells your DHCP server to give
your appliance the same IP address. This lets you use the simpler
DHCP setup for your appliance, while still letting it use the same IP
address. Refer to your DHCP server's documentation to set up a
reservation.
