none; this is required if you are using Hyper Terminal or some other simple terminal application to communicate with the DTA-3050 via command line.

Ethernet

The DTA-3050 provides an Ethernet (10/100BaseT IEEE 802.3u) interface to communicate with the unit over a Local Area Network (LAN). Use of the Ethernet port supports connecting multiple units to a single PC through the use of an Ethernet Concentrator (Hub). The only limitation is the number of ports on the hub and available IP addresses on the network. Point-to-Point Ethernet connection can be achieved with an Ethernet crossover cable. The DTA-3050 also provides a Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) interface for IP Destinations. Both ports can provide web administration.
Caution: both interfaces must be on separate subnets. If both interfaces reside on the same IP network, there will be loss of communication.

Port and Table Mode

This article compares and contrasts Port Mode and Table Mode on the DTA3050 Router. Table Mode and Port Mode are accessed using the "Mode" button on the DTA3050's front panel.

Port Mode

Function Explanation
All programs and PID’s that are present at the ingress get passed directly to the Egress with no remapping

performed. In this mode, no PID conflict detection is performed on the Egress, so it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that no conflicts exist.
Recommended for most applications.
Only programs and PID’s that are manually added by the user are passed to the Egress. PID values and program information are mapped using user-defined values. As a default, the incoming values are used for the outgoing values. In this mode, the DTA does prevent PID conflicts in the Egress as part of the auto-logic algorithm.
All programs and PID’s present in the Ingress that are added to the Egress by the user, will be added and remapped by the DTA Router according an auto-logic algorithm. In this mode, the DTA does prevent PID conflicts in the Egress as part of the auto-logic algorithm.
SI Injector
MHP Injector
NIT only
Used for inputting multiple NIT tables and appending them to NIT Other.
Special mode used only for MHP applications. In this mode, MHP services present in the Ingress can be mapped and associated to services coming in through other ports.

Table Mode

Table Format Explanation
DVB Incoming services are processed using DVB table structure
MPEG Incoming services are processed using PAT and PMT only
ATSC Incoming services are processed using ATSC table structure
DCII Incoming services are processed using Digicypher II table structure
Incoming services are processed using information in the manualpidconfigX.xml file (where ‘X’ is
None
the port number. These files are located in the /etc/asimux/ directory

Using the GUI Interface

Introduction

The Adtec DTA3050 features an on-board Graphical User Interface for easy operability.
To access the GUI, bring up a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or Mozilla Firefox, and type your DTA's IP address into the URL locator, and press "Enter". The DTA's on-board GUI will launch, displaying a page like this:
This page lists basic version and operating time information for the unit, and contains a login window. "USER" (in all caps) is the default login password.
Also on this screen (and repeated on every screen) is a Status snapshot window, giving current status for ASI Data, ASI Fill, IPTV, and Redundancy.
The GUI enables you to interface with the DTA3050 through 11 screens. These screens are accessed with the navigation buttons in the left-hand window. These buttons are labelled:
System• Host• Inputs• Mappings• Outputs• Tables• CA• IP Destinations• MPE• Redundancy• Logs•

Signing in to the GUI

Each screen and its controls are detailed in individual articles which follow. Each screen can be viewed in two ways. If you are signed into the GUI, each screen has editable controls for the configuration of the router's operations. If you view the screen without signing in to the GUI, you see a summary screen of the DTA's current settings, without being able to edit them.
Important: note that signing into the GUI and being signed in from the main control panel are two separate actions.
