5 QUICK SETUP GUIDE
This quick setup guide is intended to provide a step-by-step explanation of how to
setup a probe once the initial setup has been performed (as described in chapter 4).
More detailed instructions are found in chapter 6 of this manual.
The Return Data Path and Full Service Monitoring features are not covered by this
quick setup guide.
5.1 Basic Setup: All Interfaces
1. Set appropriate parameters in the Setup - Params and Setup - Ethernet
views.
2. If no time reference for automatic time locking has been specified set the time
in the Setup - Time view.
3. If access control is required, define a password in the Setup - Login view. Note
that it is important to read the instructions in the associated section of this
manual.
5.2 Input Signal Definitions
5.2.1 ASI Input
1. Set appropriate parameters in the ASI - Setup view. As a start the threshold
templates TR 101 290, Default, Default and Default may be used.
5.2.2 Ethernet Input (IP Option Only)
1. Define multicasts, either by using the multicast detect feature (Traffic -
Detect) or by defining multicasts manually (Ethernet - Multicasts). Note that
often upstream equipment will not transmit multicasts unless join messages
have been received, and in this case it will usually not be possible to detect
multicasts automatically. Select predefined threshold templates that seem
appropriate for the signal. Note that the sequence of the multicast definitions
will be reflected in monitoring, so order the multicasts correctly if required. Also
note that ETR 290 monitoring for Ethernet streams is disabled by default, so if
this is required, it will have to be enabled by the user (on a per-stream basis).
2. Define stream page name(s) in the Setup - Pages view (not strictly necessary).
3. Join multicasts in the Ethernet - Join view or in the Ethernet - Multicasts
view .
