Using the Equipment
• FIFO overflow count – Displays the number of times the FIFO in the IP Input
card has overflowed.
• FEC Latency – Time in milliseconds of expected video delay caused by FEC
processing.
• Current Port (status) – Current active physical port.
• Software version – Displays the software version used on the IP Input Card.
• Firmware sw version – Displays the firmware version used on the IP Input
Card
• CPLD sw version – Displays the CPLD version used on the IP Input Card.
• Network Utilization – Network utilization level in %.
• Rx Up Time – Time in seconds since network port is up and running.
• Current Buffer Level – Delay in milliseconds caused by IP de-jittering and FEC
latency.
• Reset IP Stats – This button enables the counters displayed on this screen to
be reset to 0.

3.10.5.9.1 IP Interface
Figure 3.49 IP Interface Parameters
• IP Address – Enables the user to input the local IP address. This is used if the
port is ‘pinged’.
• Subnet Mask – Enables the user to input the local Subnet Mask address.
• Default Gateway – Enables the user to input the local Default Gateway
address.
• VLAN Tag – Virtual LAN is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements
that communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, regardless of their
physical location. This 4 bytes IEEE 802.1Q header should contain a tag
protocol identifier (TPID) and tag control information (TCI).
• VLAN Enable – Enables the user to ENABLE/DISABLE the VLAN tagging.
