Page 4: Introduction
BRILLANTE is used as an interface unit between third party Conditional Access System and Teleste ATMux system. The primary task of BRILLANTE is to take care of the communication between the ECM generators, EMM/PD (private data) injectors and Teleste ATMux system. - Page 5 Automatic 1+1 full backup and automatic unit switching • DVB simulcrypt v2.0 compatibility • Supports up to three CA systems per service (simulcrypted) • Open CAS support • Provides a simple way of handling Pay Per View services internally Introduction • 4 BRILLANTE User Manual, 59300023, rev005...

Page 8: Ethernet Connections
To configure the Ethernet connections requires the user to log in as an “admin” (previous page). All the settings of Ethernet connections can be edited by using BRILLANTE configurator script (cfgrtr.sh) or by editing system files directly as shown below. -

ECMg is lost. The switching occurs when main ECMg address (IP address: Port) has made a TCP/IP level disconnection and Brillante is not able to re-connect that address anymore after number of retries (configurable). Also the switching will happen automatically if Brillante has never been able to connect the main address. - Page 26 0x0B000000 10.2.14.4:1028 spare_ECMg </ECMG_LIST> First line defines the spare_ECMg and in second line it has been taken in use to backup main_ECMg.

Page 27: Brillante 1+1 Backup In Brief
A route to DIVISI has to be added to the -file static-routes so that BRILLANTE is able to switch the ATM to backup interface. [admin@Brillante2 admin]$ more static-routes eth0 net 10.136.30.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.136.5.5 eth0 net 10.136.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.136.5.5 Interfaces on DIVISI are as follows: 1. -
Page 28: Configuration File
The <BRILLANTE> </BRILLANTE> delimited field contains the IP addresses of the devices needed in a standard BRILLANTE 1+1 backup configuration. The first IP is the eth1 (in Linux and marked as 2 in the back panel) of the BRILLANTE (main unit) that is used on normal condition. - Page 29 This has to be disabled when the system is up and running. For some special purposes the user can define a start up delay for BRILLANTE. In other cases this should be left to 10 seconds. Lowering Execute interval reduces backup trigger delays.

Page 30: Triggers
Backup BRILLANTE switches when it detects that main BRILLANTE is not online anymore. If backup unit loses power, main Brillante has to make sure that it is not a network disconnection. So main has to close application processes & eth0 for a while if backup tries to get online. After a while main will resume, if backup has not become online. -
Page 31: Other Tips
• startup.bril.conf Update has to be run every time the configuration is altered on the main BRILLANTE. Otherwise when take-over occurs backup will use old configuration and some services might be lost. It will also generate a backup of the old configuration to /teleste/backup/. -
