Discovery
The status of each stream, active or inactive, is visually presented as follow:
Active: Streams on which MPEG-2 TS data is currently being received.
Active streams are listed using black characters.
Inactive: Streams that are no longer receiving MPEG-2 TS data. Inactive
streams are listed using grey characters.
Monitored streams are streams that have been added for IPTV monitoring
in the overview page. Monitored streams are highlighted with a light blue
background.
Selected streams are highlighted with a dark blue background.
Auto-Discovery
On/Off button: Scans the network test point to automatically identify
IPTV and/or VoD streams that conform to the MPEG-2 transport stream
format. Newly detected streams are appended to the discovery list.
This setting is Off by default. Turning Auto-Discovery Off and On will
not clear the previously discovered streams. The discovery process is
independent from the test case start/stop status or the Reset function.
Clear List button: Resets the list of discovered streams. If the
Auto-Discovery is On, after pressing Clear List, the discovery list is
refreshed. The clear operation doesn’t affect the streams that are
monitored.
Hide monitored Streams: Filters out all the monitored streams from
the discovered stream list. This option is selected by default.
