DTMX5000 IP Gateway Installation
Rev. 1 2–7
2.3.1 Connecting Network Interface Cards
Connect the Transportation Input NIC and Control and Management Input NIC.
2.3.1.1 Connect the Transportation NIC
The Transportation Input NIC connects to the Transportation LAN. The NIC is marked
“TX NIC” to avoid confusion with the Control and Management Input NIC. After
installation, verify the connection. The Transportation Input NIC does not reply to Ping
(to ensure security), however, it will reply to ARP.
To verify connection, proceed as follows:
1. Ping from a computer on the Transportation LAN to the IP address of the
Transportation Input NIC.
2. Browse the ARP table of that computer to verify that the IP address of the
Transportation Input NIC appears.
2.3.1.2 Connect the Control and Management Input NIC
The Control and Management NIC connects to the Control and Management LAN. The
NIC is marked “C&M NIC” to avoid confusion with the Control and Management Input
NIC. Set the Control and Management NIC IP address and ping to verify the connection.
2.3.2 Connect the Output Transport Stream
The DTMX5000 has two optional output transport Stream Interfaces, LVDS and ASI.
The Transport Stream is output on both interfaces. According to the target of the
Transport Stream, select the appropriate output.
To verify the connection, proceed as follows.
1. Enable the Flushing mode in the DTMX5000.
2. In Flushing mode, the DTMX5000 generates a non-Null DVB compliant
Transport Stream in its input.
