QAM RF Channels, IP program data stream, or the ASI output stream (or a combination of these output formats). The EH244 Encoder Host Series comes available in two base models that can be ordered with various output format configurations tailored to your specific application requirements. -
Page 6: Chapter 2 - Installation And Mounting
(EAS Input Encoder) module must be installed in slot 6 of the chassis. If the EH244 Series Encoder Host is configured as a ‘slave’ EAS unit (Slot 6 Mode or Slot 6 + SCTE 18 Mode), a Drake model ASII module (ASI Input) must be installed in slot 6, and wired to the ASI Output port of the previous Encoder Host (EH24, EH24A, or EH244 Series) in the chain. -
Page 7: Dta - Modes (Digital Transport Adapter)
If the EH244 Series Encoder Host will be used as the ‘master’ in a DTA enabled system, a Drake model ASII module must be installed in slot 6 (or slot 5, if the EH244 Series Encoder Host is also being used as an EAS ‘master’ unit, using the Slot 6 Mode or Slot 6 + SCTE 18 EAS Mode). This ASII module must be connected to the output of a PC that is generating the DTA control messages, created by the Drake DTA Control software. -
Page 8: Chapter 3 - Configuration
To change any settings using the front panel: 1. Press one of the two ◄ or ► buttons labeled ENCODER SELECT until the LCD displays EH244 2. Press and hold in ENTER (for about two seconds) until the LCD display begins to blink. - Page 9 DTA/EAS CONTROL: DISABLED, MASTER, SLAVE – this sets the unit’s EAS and DTA control mode. When MASTER, the unit is the first in the daisy chain of Drake devices; when SLAVE, the unit is not the first in the daisy chain.

ENTER twice to view the IP address that was discovered by DHCP. If your network does not have a DHCP server, or you opt to not use DHCP for configuring the EH244 Series Encoder Host’s IP address (DISABLE DHCP is the recommended configuration to avoid the unit’s IP address changing in the future), you must obtain an IP address, subnet mask, and default... - Page 11 EH244 ENCODER HOST SERIES CONFIGURATION (continued) Once you are logged in to the EH244 Web-Server Control Panel, you will be presented with the status page: Image: EH244 Web-Server Control Panel, STATUS Tab Along the top edge of the Status tab page, there are five tabs listed; each tab allows you to view and configure different parts of the EH244 Series Encoder Host.

The top section configures the global settings. The unit supports both MPTS and SPTS output modes. In MPTS mode, all channels assigned to one of the four multiplexes are output in a single IP stream;...
- Page 15 In MPTS mode, there are 4 streams possible (corresponding to the 4 transport multiplexes assigned from the Output tab). In SPTS mode, there are 12 streams available, corresponding to the 12 possible encoder channels in the EH244 Series Encoder Host chassis. For MPTS mode: 1.
