1.1 Introduction
The Comtech EF Data (CEFD) CMR-5910 Digicast Media Router Serial IP
Gateway (MG-SIP) and CMR-5920 Serial IP Router (MR-SIP) – referred to respectively
throughout this manual as “the MG-SIP” or “the MR-SIP” – provide the end-points for
the transport of IP-formatted content (Tx for the MG-SIP, Rx for the MR-SIP) using the
HDLC protocol across an RS-422/RS-530 serial link.
The MG-SIP and MR-SIP provide an economical solution to upgrading legacy (non-IP
enabled) video networks, using Integrated Receiver Decoders (IRDs), to support
distribution of IP content to the collocated enterprise LAN.

System, the MG-SIP and MR-SIP provide the following features:
• High Reliability
• Support for Multicast and Unicast IP datagrams
• HDLC Link-layer protocol
• Multicast Zones
• 64 Routes
• QoS on a route-by -route basis (min/max bandwidth)
• Support for IGMP and ICMP
• Aggregate throughput of 13.5 Mbps with 1,500 byte IP packets
• Color LEDs for status monitoring and rapid fault isolation
• Management (monitor, control and configuration):
o Web Interface
o SNMP V2 (Private and MIB II) Support (Future)
o TFTP for remote field software/firmware upgrade
o Terminal Interface
o Telnet
1.3 Performance
The MG-SIP and MR-SIP provide the following performance characteristics:
Item Value
Maximum Egress Rate Setting 13.5 Mbps
Maximum Bits Per Second (Maximum Packet Size 1,518 Bytes) 13.5 Mbps
Latency Less than 10 mS
1.4 Configuration
The MG-SIP and MR-SIP enable IP-based multimedia content (video, audio and data) to
be delivered over a high-speed RS-422 or RS-530 link and distributed to remote devices
connected via an Ethernet LAN, providing an inexpensive upgrade path for deployment
of an overlay distribution network across widely dispersed remote locations.
The capabilities of the MG-SIP and MR-SIP are depicted in Figure 1-2.

2.2 Unpacking
The shipping container and packing materials should be retained for possible reshipment.
Perform a receiving inspection as follows:
• Inspect the shipping container for damage. If there is damage to the shipping
• Check to determine that all parts, materials and documentation have been
• Inspect the device for possible physical damage.
• Test the device for proper operation.

2.3 Installation
The MG-SIP and MR-SIP are designed for ease of installation and configuration.
Once the device has been removed from the packing container, follow these
instructions:
Step Procedure
1 Place the device on a flat surface with free-air flow where the LEDs can be
clearly observed with unrestricted access to the rear panel of the device.
2 Connect the DC power connection to the connection labeled PWR on the back
of the device and tighten the restraining nut to ensure secure operation.
3 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (patch cord) to the port labeled ETHERNET.
This cable should be connected to an Ethernet concentrator (hub) or switch.
4 Connect a terminal cable (supplied) to the port labeled TERM. This cable
should be connected to a PC’s serial port (DB-9) to initially configure the IS.
5 Connect the AC power cord between a standard wall outlet and the power
supply. The blue LED will illuminate.
The port labeled REDUN is currently not supported.

Installation & Initial Configuration MN/MDRTRIPDC.IOM
2.4 Initial Configuration
The initial configuration involves setting up the IP parameters via the terminal cable.
Once the IP parameters have been configured, the terminal cable can be removed. The
terminal cable should be stored in a known location, since it may be needed in the future.
To configure the IP parameters:
Step Procedure
1 Using a terminal emulator on a PC such as HyperTerminal™ or
TeraTerm™, set up the communication port as follows:
• 38,400 BAUD
• 8 Data Bits
• 1 Stop Bit
• No Parity
• No Flow Control
2 Press the <ENTER> key on the PC – the device’s menu should be
displayed.
3 Press “N” for Network Menu.
4 Press “I” for the IP Address. Enter the IP Address and select <ENTER>.
5 Press “M” for the Subnet Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask and press
<ENTER>.
6 Press “G” for the Default Gateway IP Address. Enter the Default
Gateway Address and press <ENTER>.
7 Press “S” to save the parameters.
8 Press “Y” to confirm the saving of parameters.
9 Press “X” to exit to the main menu.
For the MG-SIP only:
10 Press “E” to configure the egress port.
11 Press “M” to configure the egress clock source as external or internal.
12 Press “R” to configure the egress clock rate in bits per second (bps) and
press <ENTER>.
13 Press “S” to save the parameters.
14 Press “Y” to confirm the saving of parameters.
15 Press “X” to exit the menu.
At this point, the device has been configured for full operation and the terminal cable
may be removed. The RS-422/RS-530 cable may now be safely attached to the DB-15
male connector marked
the Terminal Interface; however, it is recommended to use the Web Interface for ease of
management.
