Information in this section of the manual covers the basic setup and operation of the
remote networking side of the Display Unit (eCDi™).
3.3 Hardware
•
Single Board Computer. Includes a 20GB hard drive, 4 port internal ethernet switch
and power supply.
• 1 ethernet port mounted on the front of the unit for configuration and utility monitoring.
Eliminates the need to access the rear of the unit after installation.
• 1 ethernet port mounted on the rear for connection to the station LAN or WAN.
• 3 ethernet ports mounted on the rear for permanent interconnect to transmitters and
exciters that have an ethernet interface (RJ-45).
• 2 serial ports mounted on the rear for connection to transmitters and exciters with a
serial interface.
3.4 Features
Web GUI Interface - The Web GUI interface allows access to transmitter control,
status and logging for any of the supported transmitters via a standard web browser
interface (Netscape or IE). The only other software required is a Java plug-in and it is
downloaded from the eCDi™ the first time a computer accesses the unit.
Performance Monitoring - An optional software upgrade provides for performance
monitoring of DTV transmitters by networking an embedded version of the CD-EYE™
application.
Common Interface - The Web GUI creates a common display platform for all
transmitters. This allows immediate understanding of transmitter control and monitoring
regardless of the transmitter model.
Fault Logging - The fault log will hold up to 1000 events, is viewable on-line or can be
downloaded to Microsoft Excel or another common spreadsheet program.
Meter Logging - Meter logging occurs periodically at a customer configured time
interval. The Meter log will hold up to 1000 events and can be downloaded to Microsoft
Excel or another common spreadsheet program.
Email Notification - faults and warnings are automatically sent to a customer
configured email address.
SNMP Agent - provides for connection to the Harris Broadcast Manager (HBM)or
RECON remote control system. It can also be connected, in a limited form, to other
non-Harris based SNMP Network Managers. For more information about SNMP
connectivity see eCDi manual.
