Chapter 1 Introduction MN-CMR8500
Note: The CMR-8500 supports CoP3 (Gigabit Ethernet) redundancy only. ASI
redundancy is not currently supported.
1.3.1 Configuration
Redundancy is accomplished t
interface and the redundancy (via the CA-0000316 connection) interfaces. One unit is designated as the
primary unit, while the other is designated as the backup unit. Redundancy configuration is done using
the web interface on both units. Please refer to section 4.2.4.3 for instructions on configuring redundancy
in detail.
Note: Whenever changes are made to the configuration through the web interface,
the user must click on the “Submit” button for the page for the changes to take
effect. In order for the changes to be saved upon a reboot of the system, the user
must click on the “Save” tab on the upper right of the web interface.
Permanent changes to the configuration require two steps, first click “
click on “Save”.
1.3.2 Operation
The design of the CMR-8
point of failure. In the unlikely event of a failure with the primary encapsulator, the system will switch
over to the backup unit.
The status of an IPE is in
hrough the CMR-8500 by communication over the management Ethernet
Submit”, then
500’s redundant system ensures high reliability and low probability of a single
dicated by the REDUN LED. When configured in a redundant system:
• Solid green LED indicates that the unit is in primary mode and operational
• Flashing green LED indicates that the unit is in backup mode

2.5 Redundancy Configuration
Redundancy management with the CMR-8500 is accomplished through the Fast Ethernet (FE) interface
and the Redundancy (REDUNDANT) interface. The FE interface carries the configuration data between
the primary and backup units, and the REDUNDANT interface carries the status of the units to the
redundant partner. To utilize redundancy, both CMR-8500s (primary and backup) must have the
following connections:
• FE connections cabled to a common Ethernet switch
• REDUNDANT connections must be connected via Comtech EF Data part number CA-0000316
Setup of both units is the same as instructed in Section 2.4, Initial Configuration, plus setting up the
redundancy information on the Redundancy Tab of each unit. The required information is the IP address
of each interface on the other unit. Please refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.2.4.3 for more on redundancy
configuration.
The connection between the REDUNDANT interface via CA-0000316 provides the following unit status:
• Primary Unit (Mode of operation and state of unit - including the status of the GE interfaces)
• Backup Unit (Mode of operation and state of unit - including the status of the GE interfaces)
If the REDUNDANT ports become disconnected, both units will transition to online status until the
condition is cleared.

(PAT) and Program Map Table (PMT).
The PAT resides on PID 0x0000 and the CMR-8500 allows the user to define the following PID for the
PMT:
• The PMT announces the PID assigned to each valid route for up to 1,000 routes.
• The stream type for a PID assigned to a route will be announced as “DSM-CC” (stream type 0x08).
• In the PAT, each program number will be assigned the corresponding route number.
The PSI Configuration Tab has the following configurable parameters:
• Enable: The “Enable” PSI Boolean allows the user to enable or disable the PSI information. Most
multiplexers will require the PSI information to be present to identify the input programs.
•
Rate: The rate in tenths of a second the PSI tables (PAT/PMT) will be transmitted to the network. For
example, 4 is a rate of 250ms.
•
PMT PID Base: The first PID number that will be used to announce the available programs to the
network.
•
Transport Stream ID: The transport stream ID provides the identification of this TS from any other
multiplex in the network.

4.2.4.5.1 Default Route
The first route listed is the Default_Route. This route, when enabled, will route all IP traffic not already
defined in another route. The Default Route can be thought of as a catch-all route.
Note: Any IP traffic on the subnet not explicitly defined will flow out this route,
so care must
be used when enabling this route!

4.2.4.5.2 Routing: Adding a Route
Figure 4-17. CMR-8500 Web Interface Add Route
The configurable parameters on the Add Route Page are:
• Enabled: Enable or Disable the route.
• Route Name: The name assigned to a given route.
• IP: The IP address assigned to a given route. A unicast route will fall within the range 0.0.0.0 to
223.255.255.255 (excluding broadcast or reserved IP addresses), and a multicast route will fall within
the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
• Mask: The subnet mask defines the range of IP addresses that will be supported by a particular route.
IP routes may NOT overlap.
IMPORTANT
The following demonstrates how the subnet mask defines the IP address range – the CMR-8500 uses
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation for setting the subnet mask:
• 255.255.255.255 is 32 bits (used for an explicit route for a single IP address)
• 255.255.255.0 is 24 bits (used for a C-Class Mask)
• 255.255.0.0 is 16 bits (used for a B-Class Mask)
• 255.0.0.0 is 8 bits (used for an A-Class Mask)

CMR-8500 DVB IP Encapsulator Revision 2
Chapter 4. Device Management via User Interfaces
• PID: The Program Identifier (PID) assigned to a particular route. PIDs do not have to be unique and
may be assigned to one or more routes.
• MAC: The MAC address assigned to a given route. For Unicast, this is typically the MAC address of
the satellite receiver card at the remote location to which the data is being sent. For Multicast, the
MAC address is generated for the route when the route is created.
• VLAN: VLAN support options:
• None: No VLAN traffic will be passed. Only traffic without a VLAN tag will be passed.
• All: All traffic received with VLAN tags will be passed and all non-VLAN traffic will be
blocked.
• VLAN ID: ID must match the VLAN ID field. If the VLAN ID is set, only traffic on the configured
VLAN ID will be passed.
• VLAN ID: A valid VLAN ID for the desired route. The valid ranges of the VLAN ID are 0 to 4095.
• GTD BW: The Guaranteed Bandwidth offered to a given route. The route will be guaranteed a
minimum of this amount of bandwidth on the CMR-8500. This will only function if the “Enforce
Egress QoS” option on the Management:Main tab is enabled.
• MAX BW: The maximum bandwidth allowed for a given route. Any traffic that exceeds the
maximum bandwidth for this route will be silently discarded. Valid only if “Enforce Egress QoS”
option on the Management:Main tab is enabled.
• IP COPY: Enables IP Copy for this route. If disables, then the route is handled as a standard IP route
via the assigned IP address, subnet mask, and configured MAC address. Refer to Addendum B for
details.
• PACKED: Enables section packing for this route. Section packing adds efficiency to the transport,
but adds latency.
• PSI: Allows the user to select whether the route is present or not present in the PSI table. The PSI
must be enabled for the route to be included in the PSI table.
The CMR-8500 supports up to 1,000 routes contained within the PSI table.

4.2.9 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows an SNMP Manager such as OpenView or Castle
Rock to be used to remotely manage the CMR-8500 in an automated fashion.
The CMR-8500 supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). Two types of Management
Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.
MIB II is the default MIB that is used to gather generic information about the unit, such as system ‘up’
time, packets sent or received on an interface, etc. MIB II is designed for only read access, not write
access. To read and write configuration parameters over SNMP requires a private MIB. The private
MIB allows parameters to be set on the Web, Terminal, or Telnet interfaces.
The elements Object Identifiers (OIDs) of the MIB will be listed in the appendix of a revised version of
this manual. CEFD has been assigned an SNMP designator by the IEEE, which will be found in all
elements of the CMR-8500’s MIB.
The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.
NOTE
The CMR-8500 supports configurable community strings for added security. As a security precaution,
passwords cannot be remotely queried over SNMP.
For SNMP access from a remote network via the public Internet, a VPN connection to the CMR-8500
will need to be established using third-party VPN client/server access.
The default community strings for the SNMP R/W community is private and the R/O community is
public.
4.2.9.1 Multiple Variable Bindings
Three OIDs allow routes to be created, edited, and deleted via a single SNMP command. The procedures
to use these OIDs are as follows:
Addition (Create):
• To add a route to the CMR-8500, the SNMP manager issues a “create” on the main route table.
An index of 1 is assigned.
The route index will be one greater than the number of entries already in the table. This operation creates
the default row as indicated below:
• An “add row” is performed on the index provided. The row is created with all default values.
• Each element is populated using the normal sets to each field in the row, until the entire route has
been filled in.
• Once complete, the “commit” is issued that commits the route for use.
Look-up (Search):
• A “set” is performed by setting one of the three search criteria [IP | MAC | RouteName]. Only
one variable may be set to perform the search. The value returned will be the actual route index
that may be reviewed, modified or deleted.
4-41
CMR-8500 DVB IP Encapsulator Revision 2
Chapter 4. Device Management via User Interfaces
When the search results in a single route, the index will always be 1. If more than one matches, then the
searched-for route could have an index in this table between 1 and X, where Z is the number of matching
routes.
Note that the changes are made directly on the search table with no need to go to the full route table.
Deletion:
• Using the look-up as described above, the route index may be obtained and then deleted, if
desired.

Appendix A. SOFTWARE UPGRADE
A.1 Introduction
The CMR-8500 supports changes to the resident software and firmware by two methods:
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Using TFTP, the transfer is initiated from the CMR-8500 using the unit’s web interface, and connecting
to a remote TFTP server. If FTP is to be used, the transfer is initiated remotely and an FTP session is
created between the CMR-8500 and the remote device (typically a PC).
The CMR-8500 supports two banks of firmware. The user has the capability to select which bank of
firmware to boot from, as well as which bank to update.
A.2 Software Upgrade via TFTP, Using the CMR-8500 Web Interface

Appendix B. IP Routing Support
B.1 Introduction
Offering state-of-the-art encapsulation based on the DVB Specification for Data Broadcasting (EN 301
192), the CMR-8500 provides the following configuration features:
• IP Encapsulation per Multi-Protocol Encapsulation (EN 301 192)
• Unicast Routing
• Multicast Routing
• Section Packing and Non-Section Packing
• 80,000 Configurable Routes
• 1 Default Route
• Multicast Zones
• IP Copy
• 802.1q VLAN
B.2 Route Configuration
Both Unicast and Multicast IP datagrams are encapsulated per the Multi-Protocol Encapsulation
specification. Routing of datagrams is accomplished by configuration of the ME Route Table, described
in the following section.
B.2.1 Unicast Routing
Unicast routing provides point-to-point delivery of IP datagrams. Routes for Unicast IP packets are
configured according to the following:
• IP Addresses, which fall into three classes, namely: A (0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255), B (128.0.0.0
to 191.255.255.255) and C (192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255).
• Medium Access Control (MAC) Addresses, which identify the destination device (next-hop) to
which the packets are sent. The least-significant bit of the first byte of the six-byte MAC address is
a ‘0’. For example, 0x00 11 22 33 44 55 is a Unicast address.
B–1
CMR-8500 DVB IP ENCAPSULATOR Revision 2
Appendix B. IP Routing Support MN-CMR8500
Unicast is supported by the CMR-8500 as it would be in any routed network. A route is created and a
subnet mask is assigned to the route.
The CMR-8500 uses Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation in which a ‘slash’ followed by a
decimal number is used to represent the number of bits for the mask, e.g. /32 is 255.255.255.255 and /24
is 255.255.255.0.
As stated previously, part of the route configuration is a MAC address that is assigned for delivery of the
packet when it is encapsulated into MPE. The MAC address typically identifies the remote receiver
(physical device); e.g. satellite terminal, DTV terminal, or cable receiver.
B.2.2 Multicast Routing
Multicast routing provides point-to-multipoint delivery of IP datagrams. Routes for multicast IP packets
are configured according to the following:
• IP Addresses, which fall into class D (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255)
• Medium Access Control (MAC) Addresses, which identify the frames as multicast. The least-
significant bit of the first byte of the six-byte MAC address is a ‘1’. For example, 0x01 00 5E 00 00
01 is a multicast address.
• Broadcast frames are identified by the MAC Address, 0x FF FF FF FF FF FF.
Multicast IP addresses are related to multicast MAC addresses as follows:
•
The lower 23 bits of the IP address are mapped into the lower 23 bits of the MAC address.
Figure B-1. Multicast Mapping (IP to MAC)
Several examples of the relationship are:
• Received IP: 239.1.1.10 = MAC: 0x01 00 5E 01 01 0A
• Received IP: 224.10.10.10 = MAC: 0x01 00 5E 0A 0A 0A
• Received IP: 228.63.10.10 = MAC: 0x01 00 5E 3F 0A 0A
Note that the upper 5 bits of the multicast IP address are ignored in the MAC so that 32 Multicast group
IP addresses map to a single MAC address. This implies further filtering is required at the end device.

Appendix B. IP Routing Support MN-CMR8500
B.3 802.1Q VLAN Support
802.1Q VLAN support allows the encapsulator to route traffic based on the VLAN tags. The
configuration of the VLAN tag is done on the Advanced Routing page on the terminal interface and is
also available on the web interface. VLAN tags are supported when LLC_SNAP Ethernet frames are
being used. Normal
Ethernet frames utilize IEEE 802.3 framing with a maximum frame size of 1,518 bytes; however,
LLC_SNAP frames contain four extra bytes (on the frame header) that may be used for VLAN tags, so
the Ethernet frame size is up to 1,522 bytes. The VLAN tag allows the CMR-8500 to route packets based
on the presence of a route that matches the VLAN tag. The VLAN tag is 12 bits in length and valid values
from 0 to 4095 are accepted.
B.4 Section Packing
Section packing is a technique to provide better utilization of the MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) packet
structure. When section packing is not used, each TS packet (containing the MPE section) can carry no
more than a single section. This often results in wasted payload capacity when the sections are less than
184 bytes. The section packing feature allows more than a single MPE section to be carried by an MPEG2 TS packet, thereby minimizing wasted payload capacity. In the case of a large MPE section that spans
multiple MPEG-2 packets, the ending of an MPE section may occur in the middle of an MPEG-2 packet.
In this instance, with section packing, a new MPE section begins immediately after the first MPE section
has finished without any ‘fill’ (wasted) bytes having to be inserted before the start of the next MPEG-2
packet.
The CMR-8500 provides an option to set how much time is allocated to hold packets to ensure filling an
MPEG frame before transmitting the frame.

B.5 80,000 Routes
The CMR-8500 is capable of providing up to 80,000 unique IP routes. Each IP route can be configured as
Unicast or Multicast. Additional routes may be supported by using the Multicast Zones feature described
in the next section.
Routes can be assigned to PIDs in the range 0x0010 to 0x1FFE (this excludes the reserved PIDs as
defined in ISO 13818-1).
B.6 Multicast Zones
The Multicast Zones feature allows the user to more efficiently configure the Encapsulator when
supporting multicasting. Using the IP subnetting techniques of Unicast routing, Multicast Zones allows a
single IP address to be specified on a route and a subnet mask is assigned to the route. The CMR-8500
uses Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation in which a ‘slash’ followed by a decimal number is
used to represent the number of bits for the mask; e.g. /32 is 255.255.255.255 and /24 is 255.255.255.0.
The subnet mask defines how many multicast IP addresses are allowed to be mapped to a single route.
Care must be taken when using the multicast zone feature since IP traffic present within the multicast
zone will be routed over the network. An example of multicast zone is as follows:
• Multicast Route = 239.0.10.1
• Multicast Zone Mask = 255.255.255.252
• Multicast groups mapped to the 239.0.10.1 route:
• 239.0.10.0
• 239.0.10.1
• 239.0.10.2
• 239.0.10.3

Appendix B. IP Routing Support MN-CMR8500
B.7 IP Copy
IP Copy is another technique for more efficiently mapping incoming IP packets to Encapsulator routes by
means of a defined rule associated with a given route. Typically, IP Copy is used for Unicast traffic. The
rules instruct the CMR-8500 how to assign the MAC addresses, used in the encapsulation process, based
on the incoming IP address of the packets. The rules appear as follows:
• IP Copy Range = 10.10.1 0.X
• Mask = 255.255.255.0
The rule states the last byte of the IP address “X” becomes the last byte of the destined MAC address:
•
MAC Address = 0x00 50 C2 25 00 00 – 0x00 50 C2 25 00 FF
The IP Copy rules provide automatic MAC address assignment based on the incoming IP address.
Therefore, a single route running IP Copy can support multiple remotes. In this example, the rule will
support up to 1,024 remotes on a single route.
IP Copy Example:
Incoming IP Address – 10.10.10.5 assigned MAC Address – 0x00 50 C2 25 00 05
Incoming IP Address – 10.10.10.100 assigned MAC Address – 0x00 50 C2 25 00 64
B.8 Quality of Service (QoS)
Each route defined can be configured to provide a determined bandwidth. Note that all QoS rates are for
the MPEG transport stream and are based on MPEG payloads. Therefore, IP data rates may be slightly
less due to the transport overhead of the MPEG and MPE. Additionally, running section packing will
provide more IP data throughput, but consumes an equal amount of usage over the MPEG transport
stream. The bandwidth attributes that may be set are as follows:
• Minimum: The guaranteed amount of bandwidth the CMR-8500 will provide for this route. The
total number of routes with guaranteed bandwidth must always be less than the rate of the egress
port.
• Maximum: The maximum amount of bandwidth a route will be allowed to have. Once the traffic
for this route exceeds this level, packets will be silently discarded to ensure that the maximum is
not exceeded
• No Setting: If neither the Guaranteed nor the Maximum values are set, the route will be allowed to
use as much bandwidth as possible and possibly attempt to exceed the egress bandwidth, which will
result in lost data. Conversely, if there is not guaranteed bandwidth for the route, another route may
utilize all available bandwidth.
