1.1 Introduction
The Comtech EF Data (CEFD) CMR-5910 Digicast Media Router Serial IP
Gateway (MG-SIP) and CMR-5920 Serial IP Router (MR-SIP) – referred to respectively
throughout this manual as “the MG-SIP” or “the MR-SIP” – provide the end-points for
the transport of IP-formatted content (Tx for the MG-SIP, Rx for the MR-SIP) using the
HDLC protocol across an RS-422/RS-530 serial link.
The MG-SIP and MR-SIP provide an economical solution to upgrading legacy (non-IP
enabled) video networks, using Integrated Receiver Decoders (IRDs), to support
distribution of IP content to the collocated enterprise LAN.
