Operating and Controlling WP-DEC7

This section describes the following actions:

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

• Configuring the Network Switch on page 11

• Configuring the WP-DEC7 on page 11.

• Operating via Ethernet on page 12.

• Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC on page 12.

.

Configuring the Network Switch

Before setting the system, make sure that your AV over IP network switch meets the following
minimum requirements:

• A PoE (power over ethernet) switch or PoE injector is required to power the WP-DEC7.
If necessary, an optional 20V DC power supply can be used.

• Jumbo Frames – On. (at least 8000 bytes).

• IGMP Snooping – On.

• IGMP Querier – On.

• IGMP Immediate/Fast Leave – On.

-DEC7 supports multicast IGMPv2 version.

• Unregistered Multicast Filtering – On.

Configuring the WP-DEC7

To start operating the WP-DEC7:

• Use the recessed CH+/- buttons to match the channel on which the encoded input is
streamed. By default, the WP-DEC7 searches for an encoded stream on channel 1.

• If an encoder source is detected, the HDMI LED lights green. If none is detected, it
flashes green.

• If an HDMI acceptor is connected, but no encoded stream is detected, a NO SIGNAL
screen will be displayed and the bottom right of the screen will show the device's
firmware version and local IP.

This type of connection is recommended for identifying
with the factory configured default IP address

Operating via Ethernet

The WP-DEC7's embedded Web UI provides high-level configuration options. Access to this
UI requires an ethernet connection to the WP-DEC7 and that you identify its IP address.

To identify the device's IP address, use any of the following methods:

• Connect the WP-DEC7 ethernet port directly to a PC.

For instructions, see Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC on page 12

.

When connected to a PC, the WP-DEC7 is given the default static IP address:

192.168.1.40. If this IP address is already in use, the system will provide a random
unique IP in the range of 192.168.X.Y

• Connect the Ethernet port of WP-DEC7 to the Ethernet port on a network hub, switch or
router using a straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors.

Make sure your PC is connected to the same LAN as the WP-DEC7.

By default, the WP-DEC7 is DHCP-enabled. Make sure that there is a DHCP server in
the network so the device can obtain a valid IP address.

Identify the device's IP address. This can be achieved by connecting a screen to the

WP-DEC7 HDMI port without providing any encoded input. The screen shows the

device’s Local IP address at the bottom right.

You can change the Ethernet parameters via the embedded web pages (see

Using

WP-DEC7 Embedded Web Pages on page 15) .

• Use the Kramer KDS-7-MNGR to discover the IP address, see

www.kramerav.com/product/KDS-7-MNGR

.

Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC

802.1Q and VLAN are not required for the Media port.

Using the Service Port for P3K & Gateway Transmissions

WP-DEC7 has two Ethernet ports (SERVICE 1G and MEDIA 1G). By default, all network

connections are handled by MEDIA with DHCP enabled and 802.1Q disabled.

Figure 24: Ethernet ports on the Rear of the WP-DEC7

WP-DEC7 can maintain a separate IP address for P3K & Gateway traffic and receive that traffic on

the Service ethernet port. Video and other types of streaming always use the MEDIA ethernet port.

To separate P3K & Gateway from the AV streams:

1. Open the Device Setting page's default General tab.

2. Select the Network tab.

Figure 25: Device Settings Page – Network Tab

3. Change the following settings in the Interface Settings section:

 In the Port column select Service and set 802.1Q to On.

 In the VLAN ID column, enter an integer number (2 - 4093) for P3K & Gateway

services. This separates the P3K & Gateway packets.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

WP-DEC7 – Using WP-DEC7 Embedded Web Pages

30

4. If you want the P3K & Gateway port to have a static IP set DHCP to Off and enter a
subnet mask and gateway address. If there is no valid DHCP server in the system, it will
look for the random unique IP in the range of 169.254.X.Y. The allocated IP address can
be seen by attaching an HDMI screen (with no streamed input).

P3K and Gateway are separated for streams.

Defining IP Casting Mode Setting and TTL

The IP Casting Mode is set by the Encoder. The setting on this field needs to be the same as
that on the encoder:

• Unicast – The encoded stream is intended for this decoder alone.

• Multicast (default) – Any decoder can access the encoded stream.

TTL (time to live) limits the lifetime of the streamed data in the computer network. It prevents
the IP packet from propagating endlessly through the network. The default value is 64, which
means that after 64 hops the data packet is dropped.

Managing TCP/UDP Ports

TCP and UDP are protocols that define how data is streamed. The port on which the data is
received must be defined in the system.

To manage TCP/UDP ports:

1. Open the Device Setting page's default Network tab.

2. Set the TCP Port (default value 5000) and UDP Port (default value 50000).

Figure 26: Device Settings – Port Management

The TCP and UDP ports are set.

Protocol 3000

Kramer devices can be operated using Kramer Protocol 3000 commands sent via serial or
Ethernet ports.

Understanding Protocol 3000

Protocol 3000 commands are a sequence of ASCII letters, structured according to the
following.

• Command format:

• Feedback format:

• Command parameters – Multiple parameters must be separated by a comma (,). In

addition, multiple parameters can be grouped as a single parameter using brackets ([
and ]).

• wParameters attributes – Parameters may contain multiple attributes. Attributes are
indicated with pointy brackets (<…>) and must be separated by a period (.).

The command framing varies according to how you interface with WP-DEC7. The following
figure displays how the # command is framed using terminal communication software (such
as Hercules):
