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
1. Set appropriate parameters in the Setup — Params and Setup — Ethernet views.
2.
Enabling Time synchronization is strongly recommended, this can be done in
Setup — Params
.
If no time reference for automatic time locking is available set the time manually in the
Setup —
Time view.
3. If access control is required, define a password and firewall settings in the Setup — Login view.
Note:
it is important to read the instructions in the associated section of this manual, see chap-
ter 6.17.8.
5.2 Input Signal Definitions
5.2.1 ASI Input
1.
Set appropriate parameters in the
ASI — Setup

Default can be used (for ATSC signals use ATSC Default as the ETR threshold).
5.2.2 Multicasts
1.
Define multicasts, either by using the multicast detect feature (
Traffic — Detect
) or by defining
multicasts manually (Multicasts — Streams).
