UCrypt® IP to IP Encryptor Functionality
This UCrypt device has the following basic features and resources:
• Receives IP multicasts on a Gigabit Ethernet network.
• Allows exible selection of desired programs from the IP multiplexes.
®
• Encrypts the selected programs with Pro:Idiom
• Allows exible assignment of selected programs to output IP multiplexes.
• Outputs IP multicasts on a Gigabit Ethernet network
For detailed information on con guration, go to the ATX website (atxnetworks.com) in the Resources & Support section, User
Documents sub-section to download the Installation & Operation Manual.
This Quick Start Guide will take you through the steps required to get your UCrypt device up and running if you have not done
this before. Follow the steps below:
2.1 Install and Power Up
You may be doing this rst setup in your lab so detailed installation details are not provided here. See the Installation and
Operation Manual for installation details. You can get it from the ATX website (atxnetworks.com) in the Resource & Support
section, User Documents sub-section. You will rst need to get a user name and password from your ATX Networks support
or sales representative and the contact numbers are on this same web page. Refer to “Installation Summary” on page 4-1
for a brief overview of mounting and powering information.
.
NOTE: If the unit is to be mounted in a rack, it is essential to attach the rear mounting ears to
mounting rails to provide support or alternately install the equipment on a well supported shelf.
2.2 Connect the Cables
A computer with web browser and Ethernet network port will be required to con gure the UCrypt device. Establish a network
connection with the supplied crossover network cable. Connect the input and output ports to your GbE switch.
Refer to “5. Cabling Connections” on page 5-1 for more details about cabling.
2.3 Start the UCrypt® Management Interface
The software for con guring the UCrypt Management Interface is provided by a built in secure web server which presents
con guration pages. You will connect with the secure web server at https://192.168.0.23 which is the default address, and log
in to access the Interface.
The UCrypt device will take about 90 seconds to boot up after applying power before you can begin con guration.
Refer to “7. Management Interface” on page 7-1 for basic setup to connect to the Management Interface.
2.4 Change Network Settings
If it is necessary to change the network IP address to access this unit remotely on a network, that is done on the System
con guration tab.
Refer to “10. SYSTEM Tab - Con guration” on page 10-1 to change network IP addresses.
2.5 Optionally Import an Existing Con guration File
The UCrypt device supports mass deployment with an importable/exportable con guration le. If you have a previously
exported con guration le to import, refer to “11. CONFIGURATION Tab - Con guration” on page 11-1.
If you have no le to import skip to Step 12.1 below.

CHAPTER 2: QUICK START GUIDE – READ ME FIRST
2.6 Select Programs for Processing
You rst need to dene the incoming multicast addresses and Ports which contain the programs that you want on the UCrypt
device output. Enter the IP address(es) and associated Port number(s), click Save then click the Detect Programs button to
read the Transport Stream(TS) PAT and PMT Tables. Only programs that are in the clear on the input may be selected to be
processed by the UCrypt device. Each program on each multicast will have an accompanying drop down dialog box with 3
options:
• Filter
Program is ignored by UCrypt device and not passed to the output.
• Passthrough to Output
Program is passed to the output without encryption applied.
• To Pro:I Encryptor
Program is encrypted with Pro:Idiom before being sent to output.
Refer to “8. INPUT ETHERNET VIEW Tab - Conguration” on page 8-1 for a summary of steps to select programs.
2.7 Congure Output Multiplexes
You need to specify the IP Address of the output multiplexes.
Refer to “9. OUTPUT MPTS VIEW Tab - Conguration” on page 9-1 for more details.
2.8 Assign Programs to Output Multiplexes
Finally, the programs selected on the Input Ethernet View tab are assigned to output multiplexes. Pro:Idiom encryption is
automatically done if the program was selected with the “To Pro:I Encryptor” routing. You may combine encrypted and non-
encrypted programs in the same output multiplex. Depending on the model of UCrypt device ordered, you may either build
SPTS or MPTS multiplexes. The MPTS model may also be used to build SPTS multiplexes.
Refer to “9. OUTPUT MPTS VIEW Tab - Conguration” on page 9-1 to assign selected programs to output IP multiplexes.
That’s it, you’re done
If you followed all the Read Me First directions, you should have programs on the IP output channels that you congured. Use
an IPTV or computer with media player such as VideoLAN to view programs that are in the clear and an appropriate Pro:Idiom
compatible TV or STB with built-in Pro:Idiom to view encrypted programs. Download the full Installation & Operation Manual
from the ATX website (atxnetworks.com) in the Resources & Support section, User Documents sub-section for more details
than are presented here. Click the Help tab to download it to your Management Computer.

CHAPTER 3: IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
3. IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
3.1 Support for Two Simultaneous Con gurations
As work on con guration progresses, changes will need to be made to multiple pages in the Management Interface. As work is
completed on each page, the changes must be saved and there is a Save button conveniently located on every con guration
page where con guration changes need to be saved. If changes are made and you navigate away from the page without
saving, the changes may be discarded.
When you are satis ed that all con guration changes on the UCrypt device are complete and correct, click the Apply button
located by the save buttons on any page, they all do the same thing. There is no need to apply the con guration as you
complete work on each page. You may Save your work as you go and Apply the con guration when completed.
3.1.1 Saved Con guration
This can be thought of as a work in progress and any changes can be made in the con guration without affecting
how the UCrypt device is currently working and providing services. This saved con guration can be discarded at
any time without affecting the working UCrypt device con guration or can be ‘Applied’ to make it the new working
con guration. To discard your con guration changes browse to the Con guration tab and click the Revert button.
The Revert action is not service affecting.
3.1.2 Applied Con guration
This is the working con guration that is currently being used to provide the desired services to the output and
regardless of the changes made in the Management Interface as discussed above, changes do not take effect until
the Apply button is clicked and the con guration is applied.
During con guration, while changes are being made, the saved con guration and the applied con guration differ by the
changes that have been made and saved since last clicking ‘Apply’. After the Apply button is clicked, the saved con guration
and the applied con guration are identical.
NOTE: Clicking the Apply button will cause a service interruption while the UCrypt device re-
provisions itself with the new working confi guration. It is best to make all changes necessary on all
confi guration pages and apply the changes when completed.
