Introduction
General
BRILLANTE is an IBMTM xSeries 306 server running LinuxTM
operating system. It comes along with third party ATM card
inside. BRILLANTE is used as an interface unit between third
party Conditional Access System and Teleste ATMuxTM
system.
The primary task of BRILLANTE is to take care of the
communication between the ECM generators, EMM/PD
(private data) injectors and Teleste ATMuxTM system. This
includes establishing and maintaining the connection to ECMgenerators and EMM/PD injectors as well as the processing of
ECM- and EMM-streams. BRILLANTE is also performing
ECM and Control Word synchronisation over the ATM to the
built-in Scrambler units located in the LEGATO ATM DVB
Processor.
BRILLANTE is compatible with the DVB simulcrypt v2.0
standard.
This manual applies the software version 2.1.2 but is mostly
applicable also with the earlier versions discarding the missing
functions.

Installation
Mechanical Installation and
Connections
• Install the BRILLANTE into a 19” cabinet and ensure
sufficient cooling by installing passive ventilation units
above and below it.
• Connect a monitor and a standard PC-keyboard to the
connectors on the rear panel connectors.
• Connect Ethernet cable(s) to the back panel RJ-45
connector “1” (and 2) and an ATM cable to the ATM card
connector (RJ-45) on the backside of the unit. The ATM
cable is connected to the VIVACE or PRESTO depending
on the ATMuxTM system configuration.
• Connect the supplied mains plug between the rear panel
connector and a 230 VAC wall outlet. For more detailed
instructions refer to the IBMTM user manual.
• Power up the BRILLANTE and see that the indicators on
the front panel of the unit are lit.
• Proceed by establishing the Ethernet connection through the
TCP/IP network by filling in the required parameters as
described in the next chapter.

Establishing a Data Connection
General
BRILLANTE runs on LinuxTM and starts automatically when
powered on. IP-configuration must be done first to connect it
to the ATMuxTM system through the TCP/IP network.
Login
After powering up the initial display will prompt for
a “BRILLANTE login”; enter:
system and password system
or
admin and password admin
(Depending on which user level you wish to log in.)
BRILLANTE User Manual, 59300023, rev005 Establishing a Data Connection • 7
ETHERNET connections
To configure the Ethernet connections requires the user to log
in as an “admin” (previous page). All the settings of Ethernet
connections can be edited by using BRILLANTE configurator
script (cfgrtr.sh) or by editing system files directly as shown
below.
Initiate the Ethernet 1 connection by entering:
pico -w ifcfg-eth0
Note! On the back panel the eth0 connector is marked as “1” and the eth1
connector is marked “2”Atleast one ETHERNET interface must be
connected.
The PICO text editor opens and the display will show the
following lines:
From the above confirm that the “#BOOTPROTO=dhcp” line
has the “#” in the beginning and that the “ONBOOT=yes” line
states “yes”. Then enter appropriate IPADDR (Brillante),
DEVICE=eth0
#BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=xx.x.x.xx
NETMASK=xxx.xxx.xxx.x
GATEWAY=xx.x.x.xx
BRILLANTE User Manual, 59300023, rev005 Establishing a Data Connection • 8
NETMASK and GATEWAY addresses depending on the
configuration.
When ready press simultaneously the keys “Ctrl” and “X”,
answer “Y” (yes) and save the new configuration by pressing
“enter” (…writing 6 lines).
Now you will see the command prompt
“[admin@Brillante admin]$”. Continue with commands;
ifdown eth0 (closes the old eth0 connection on port 1)
ifup eth0 (the new settings takes effect)
If both of Ethernet ports (1 & 2) on the BRILLANTE’s back
panel are in use proceed by entering:
pico -w ifcfg-eth1
Continue as in the case of eth0.
Static Routes
To configure the static routes requires the user to log in as an
“admin”.
When the Ethernet connection(s) are reconfigured and static
routes are needed to go through eth0 continue by entering:
pico –w route-eth0
Edit file in PICO text editor. The file may be empty but you
need to populate it with your static routes for that device
depending on your current network configuration.
The format of adding new routes is
network/netmask-bits via gateway
network The network you want to get access to.
netmask-bits Defines the subnet mask, Uses bitmask
definition, i.e. in example 24 bits means the
# example route
192.168.0.0/24 via 152.3.182.5
BRILLANTE User Manual, 59300023, rev005 Establishing a Data Connection • 9
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 correspondingly
16 bits would define the mask 255.255.0.0
via Mandatory key word.
gateway Address of your router to the network.
If also eth1 needs static routes then type:
pico -w route-eth1
Continue as in the case of eth0.
***************************************************
Following lines of static-routes below has been left here for
old compatibility reasons and is not applicable with the
IBM hardware but only with the older DELL hardware.
When the ETHERNET connection(s) are reconfigured,
continue by entering:
pico –w static-routes
Edit file in PICO text editor. The file may be empty but you
need to add the following lines depending on the current
network configuration.
where:
net = network
netmask = subnet mask
gw = gateway or router
***************************************************
Rebooting
Reboot by entering:
reboot
Confirm by typing your own user password
system or admin (same as you entered when logging in)
eth0 net xxx.xxx.xx.x netmask xxx.xxx.xx.x gw xxx.xxx.xx.x
eth1 net xxx.xxx.xx.x netmask xxx.xxx.xx.x gw xxx.xxx.xx.x
