Cobalt Digital COMPASS 9220 Bidirectional ASI_MPTS Gateway - Manual (Page 22)

22 9220-UM V1.1
o OK: Port is operating normally. This status is issued for Transmit (Output) ports
only.
o Unlocked: Port is unlocked. If it is a Receive (Input) port, it means that it cannot
lock to the signal. If it is a Transmit (Output) port, it means that the port is in
Automatic mode and it has no input.
o Locked: Receive (Input) port is locked to a signal.
o Overflow: Transmit (Output) port overflow. This means that the ASI Output is in
Manual mode, and the configured bit rate is insufficient to carry the input
connected to it. This situation will raise an alarm.
•
Size: Indicates the transport packet size, in bytes. For ASI Outputs, this is the configured
size. ASI Inputs auto-detect the packet size and report it here. If the port is not locked to
a signal, it will report zero here (see ASI Port 2 in the figure above).
•
TS Bit Rate (b/s): This reports the transport stream bit rate, in bits/second. For ASI
Outputs, this is the actual rate in the ASI port. For ASI Inputs, this is the bit rate after
conversion to 188-byte packets. For ASI Outputs in Manual mode, the rate reported here
is the configured rate; for ASI Inputs and ASI Outputs in Automatic mode, this is the
measured bit rate over 2-second windows, and may fluctuate by ±750 b/s.
•
Port Name: This reports the configured Port Name.
•
Edit Button: Clicking on this button allows reconfiguration of the port. The ASI Port
Configuration screen re-appears, with the settings for the selected port.
•
Delete Button: Clicking on this button deletes the port. The ASI port is disabled, and the
entry in the table is removed. Any connections to or from the port are removed.
ASI Ports: Statistics Tab
The Statistics Tab for the ASI Ports provides a quick visual summary status for the ports. A
sample, corresponding to the table example of the previous section, is depicted below.
Each of the ASI Port indicators can have the following values:
•
TX OK: The port is operating normally in transmit mode (ASI Output).
•
RX Locked: The port is operating normally in receive mode (ASI Input); it is locked
to an input signal.
