o Off: no power (or insufficient voltage – check the frame power status)

 VID 1 and VID 2 LEDs: these behave exactly the same as the corresponding rear I/O

panel indicators.

 ENC1 and ENC2 LEDs: these LEDs flash if the corresponding encoder is running, with

output available for routing to ASI, UDP or RTP. They will not flash if the encoder is
stopped (either by explicit configuration or by lack of input) or if it is in one of the Web
streaming modes (HTTP Live Streaming or Direct HTTP Streaming).

 ETH1 and ETH2 LEDs: these indicate the status of the corresponding Ethernet

connection.

o Off: no link
o On: link OK, no activity
o Blinking: link OK, port is transmitting and/or receiving packets

The MVN-IP360 board has other LEDs that may or may not be illuminated. They are intended
for engineering debug only.

Front Switches

The MVN-IP360 board has two pushbutton-type switches in the front, just below the LEDs, as
depicted below. Their operation is as follows:

 Default IP Switch: This switch is used to recover the board in the unlikely case of a

corrupted or broken firmware update. In most cases, the MVN-IP360 will detect the

error and automatically fall back into the factory-default firmware load. If it does not,
pull the card out, press and hold this switch, and push the card back into the frame while
still holding the switch. You can release the switch once the Status LED turns orange.
This action causes the card to revert to the factory-default firmware.

 Reset Switch: Pressing this pushbutton switch causes the card to reset.

 CH1/CH2 VID: these behave exactly the same as the corresponding back panel video

input indicators.

 CH1/CH2 ENC: these LEDs flash if the corresponding encoder is running, with output

available for routing to ASI, UDP or RTP. They will not flash if the encoder is stopped
(either by explicit configuration or by lack of input) or if it is in one of the Web streaming
modes (HTTP Live Streaming or Direct HTTP Streaming).

 CH1/CH2 ETH and CTL: these indicate the status of the corresponding Ethernet

connection.

o Off: no link
o On: link OK, no activity
o Blinking: link OK, port is transmitting and/or receiving packets

Front Panel Default Switch

The front panel has a recessed switch that can be used to restore the unit to its defaults. Use a
pen or a small screwdriver to press this switch.

17

If the switch is pressed during normal operation, the control port IP address, mask and gateway
are restored to the following factory default settings:

 IP Address: 192.168.1.30
 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
 Gateway: 192.168.1.1

The STAT front panel indicator will change colors for about 3 seconds to acknowledge the
change. Note that this operation does not disturb the encoding function or the streaming
Ethernet ports (i.e., it is not service-affecting). The IP addresses of the streaming ports may be
also automatically changed if they are in the same subnet as the control IP address above.

If you press and hold this switch when the unit is powered off, and then power up the unit while
holding the switch, the following actions will be performed:

 The control IP address, mask and gateway are reset to the factory defaults as described

above.

 The unit configuration is cleared.
 The unit reverts to the factory-installed firmware.

As before, the STAT LED will temporarily change color to acknowledge the command. When it
changes color, you can release the switch. You can use this feature in the unlikely event of a
corrupted firmware upgrade or a corrupted configuration.

when Card State is red.

For the remainder of this manual, all described features are available for the MVN-IP360, the
ITV-IP360c and the ITV-IP360d, unless explicitly stated. The three products are referred to as
the IP360 encoder.

The following tabs are available:

 Product: this tab provides general information on the unit, including firmware version,

uptime, temperatures, and other parameters. It appears only on the Statistics panel.

 Network: this tab is used to configure the IP addresses and network information for the

Ethernet ports. The statistics side of the panel includes some additional information such
as link state.

 Encoder 1, Encoder 2: these tabs are used to configure the two encoder channels.
 Admin: this tab is used for general administrative functions, such as firmware upgrades,

licensing, logs, and configuration management. The Test Packet Generator configuration
is also found under this tab.

 Control: this tab is available only in the ITV-IP360c/d. It is used to configure/monitor

the control ports and the SNMP functions of the device.

Please note that DashBoard versions 4.0 and 4.1 have GUI performance problems with the ITV-IP360c. We
recommend either version 3.0 or 5.0 or higher with the ITV-IP360c. Contact ImmediaTV if you need a copy of
DashBoard 3.0.

Product Tab

The Product Tab contains basic information about the IP360.

The following information is available:

 Build Date: Date the firmware image was built.
 Supplier: ImmediaTV Corporation.
 Product: MVN-IP360, ITV-IP360c or ITV-IP360d.
 Software revision: This indicates the firmware revision currently running. The format is

Major Version  Minor Version  Build Number.

 Serial Number: This is the serial number of this particular IP360 unit.
 Hardware Version: This indicates the board version number. Balanced audio support is

available for version 4 and later. All other functionality is the same across hardware
versions.

 Rear Module: This indicates the status of the Rear I/O Module. It can have one of the

following states:

o OK: The Rear Module is the correct module for the MVN-IP360. In the

ITV-IP360c/d this indicator will be always green.

26

o Not Installed: The MVN-IP360 is not connected to a rear module. The card is

operating normally, but it will not be useful as there are no input and output
connections to it.

o Wrong Module: The MVN-IP360 is connected to a rear module that was not

designed for it (either from another openGear® vendor or for a different
ImmediaTV card). Depending on the signals present on that module, there may
be a small chance of damage to the MVN-IP360; ImmediaTV recommends that
this situation be rectified immediately. This alarm will cause the front status LED
to turn red. A card with hardware version 3 or lower will show this alarm for the
balanced audio rear I/O panel.

 Analog Audio Input: This indicates the type of analog audio input (balanced or

unbalanced). This field will have an indication of unknown for
unrecognized/unsupported rear I/O panels.

 Card Uptime: Indicates how long the unit has been running since it was last rebooted.
 Ambient Temperature: Temperature, in degrees centigrade, of the air intake of the unit

(measured at the front edge of the unit).

 Internal Temperature: Temperature, in degrees centigrade, at the back of the unit.
 MDP Core Temperature: Temperature, in degrees centigrade, of the core MediaStorm

processing element.

The openGear® frame is designed to operate in environments with up to 40oC ambient. There is
typically a 5
measured by the MVN-IP360. If that measurement is at 45oC or higher, action must be taken to
cool down the ambient temperature.

The ITV-IP360c/d modular versions are designed to operate in environments with an ambient
temperature between 0 and 50 oC.

The ITV-IP360d includes two additional indicators in the Product tab:

o

C temperature raise from the external ambient to the “Ambient Temperature”

The ITV-EN460d has two internal redundant power supplies. Each power supply is capable of
individually powering up the device. The PS1 Status and PS2 Status indicate the status of each
of the internal power supplies, as follows:

 OK: The power supply is working normally.
 No Power: The power supply has failed and is not providing power. Contact

ImmediaTV to get the unit repaired.

Configuration Tabs

Network Tab

The Network Tab allows for configuration/monitoring of the two streaming Ethernet ports, and
optional configuration of DNS servers.

Network Configuration Tab

The Network Configuration Tab is further divided into the following tabs:

 The Interfaces tab is used to set the individual parameters for each of the streaming

Ethernet ports.

 The DNS tab is used to optionally configure DNS servers.

Network Configuration Interfaces Tab

This tab allows the configuration of the individual streaming ports.

The following parameters can be configured:

 Alarm on Link Loss: If set to Yes, the unit will raise an alarm if this Ethernet interface

loses link. The Card State indicator in Dashboard™ and the front Status LED will both
be red. If set to No, the unit will still report loss of link in the Statistics page but no alarm
will be raised. ImmediaTV recommends turning on the alarm for ports that are in use;
only turn it off if you do not plan to connect that port to a network.

 IP Address: Enter the desired IP address for this Ethernet port. In the ITV-IP360c, this

IP address cannot be the same as the Control Port IP Address (see the Control Port
Configuration Tab).

 Subnet Mask: Enter the desired subnet mask for this Ethernet port.
 Default Gateway: Enter the desired default gateway for this Ethernet port, or 0.0.0.0 if

no gateway is available.
