DTMX5000 IP Gateway Operation
Rev. 1 3–29
3.5.1.4 Groups Manipulations
The Gateway supports the concept of grouping. A group consists of several IP addresses
for different users, including multicast users, which are all mapped under the same PID
on the DVB. Groups enable logical aggregation of the data of groups of users or multicast
users under separate PIDs. Groups are managed using the Groups Manipulations option
of the Maintenance parameters.
For each group, various parameters can be defined, for example: the minimum and
maximum bandwidth assigned for the group. When creating or modifying a group. The
user can specify whether the group’s QoS parameters are global or whether each
individual’s parameters take precedence over the group parameters.
Group 1 is the default group and cannot be deleted. Unregistered users, unregistered
Multicast Channels and users that are not assigned to a group by the CCU, are added to
Group 1.
The Groups Manipulations Options consists of the following:
•
Show/Edit Groups
•
Find a Group
•
Add a GroupDelete Group
•
Write to GROUPS.INI File
