ATM Page
Picture 15.
Commander’s “ATM” page view.
The ATM page displays ATM/SDH (Asychronous Transfer
Mode / Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) connection status and
allows you to set all necessary VPI’s and VCI’s. VPI is the
Virtual Path Identifi er. VCI is the Virtual Channel Identifi er. VPI
is selectable between 1…255 and VCI between 1…65500.
These values compose a pair and it is not allowed to have two
similar identifi er pairs for different streams in one network.
Transport stream frame
In this frame you can set the received video & audio signals.
Transport stream is the MPEG-2 compressed bitstream that
consists of video & audio.
Return audio frame
This is the dual audio channel digitized and sent by Decoder
(not compressed, sampling frequency 35.2 Mhz). You can
enable the return channel by ticking the appropriate checkbox.
Resolution window is used to minimize the required audio
bandwidth over ATM network. Normal setting is 16 bit with
around 1.1 Mbps bandwidth. Selecting 14 bit reduces the ATM
bandwidth around 200 kbit/s.
Data channel frames 1…4
The four RS data channels are all individual and can be routed
independently through the ATM network.
16 IND2x2 Series User Manual rev001
Page 19
Loopback enable checkbox
When this box is ticked all incoming ATM cells are forwarded to
the next device in the network. Even those cells received by
the Decoder itself are copied forward. This allows Decoder
daisy-chaining and full utilisation of STM-1 capacity.
TS Filter checkbox
Because of the ability to loop forward the ATM stream it is
possible that the cells once sent are returning back to the
transmitting unit. In order to prevent those cells to start another
round in the network they are discarded. This box is a reminder
of the automatic cell deleting that takes place in every
Decoder. This feature is not user controllable.
Data Filter checkboxes
When theses boxes are ticked the bidirectional data channels
are not forwarded at the ATM level. If this box is clear the data
channels are considered to be broadcast type and they are not
only picked up by this unit but also are passed forward to the
next device in the ATM network. When using data broadcasting
and there are more than one terminal unit connected please
note that only one of them is allowed to answer at a time.
Multiple answers will cause a confl ict at the master device of
the RS data network.
Stream Rate frame
This frame indicates the transmitted and received ATM bitrate
in kbps.
AU-4 Pointer checkbox
For SDH network operation the AU-4 pointer can be enabled or
disabled. The default setting is disabled (Sonet operation).
SDH frame
This frame displays the following fl ags:
LOS = Loss of Signal
The LOS alarm indicates that there are no transitions occurring
in the signal received by the network element.
LOF = Loss of Frame
The receiver raises the LOF alarm when an OOF condition
persists for 3 ms or longer. It clears the alarm when it receives
a valid signal for 3 ms.
IND2x2 Series User Manual rev001 17
Page 20
OOF = Out of Frame
An OOF alarm occurs when one or more bit errors in each
framing pattern are detected for four consecutive frames.
LOP = Loss of Pointer
A network element transmits a LOP alarm downstream when it
receives 8 consecutive frames containing an invalid pointer, or
8 consecutive New Data Flags (NDF’s other than in a
concatenation indicator ).
AIS-L = Alarm Indication Signal-Line
RDI-L = Remote Defect Indicator-Line
AIS-P = Alarm Indication Signal-Path
RDI-P = Remote Defect Indicator-Path
Alarm Indication Signals and Remote Defect Indicators are
mechanisms used to report network faults.
Clock Rec.
This fl ag indicates if the clock recovered from the incoming
stream is close enough to the frequency of the reference
oscillator.
All changes in settings should be confi rmed by
pressing Apply .

Data Page
Picture 16.
Commander’s “Data” page view.
The Data page is used to enable and confi gure all four
supported RS data channels individually. In order to operate
over ATM each data channel must have similar confi guration at
both ends. The VP/VC settings for all of these channels are
located on the ATM page.
Data Channel frames 1…4
User selectable RS modes are RS232, RS422, RS485 half
duplex and RS485 full duplex (4-wire). For correct wiring refer
to attachment A. User selectable baudrates for each channel
are 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400 and 57600.
Alternatives for number of databits is 8 and 9. Alternatives for

EASITM Decoder confi guration pages are accessible also over
the ATM network by utilising In-Band Management. This
feature allows the user to confi gure all Encoders and Decoders
in the network from one location. Locally you connect to the
DVX bus but in remote location the connection is established
either with an ATM network interface card or via EASITM ATM
Node Ethernet connection.
The only addressable port is the ATM port. This is the address
of the Decoder and it has to be unique in the whole network.
When you set or change this address make sure that the
address does not exist somewhere else in the network.
There are two confi gurable VPI/VCI pairs for the In-Band
Management data. The Decoder listens to both of these pairs
set in this window. They allow to confi gure each Decoder to be
part of two different management groups.

CONSTRUCTING EASITM NETWORKS
Concatenating Encoders and
Decoders
Concatenating is used to fully utilise the STM-1 capacity. The
ATM bitrate output from one Encoder can vary between 3,4
Mbps…18 Mbps, which leaves available capacity for other
services when inserted into 155 Mbps STM-1 data stream.
This gap can be fi lled by daisy-chaining several Encoders in
the same ATM loop.
Recommendations for concatenating is max. twenty (20)
devices (Encoders, Decoders or mixture of both) per one
STM-1/OC-3 loop. The maximum calculated bitrate for all
services (note also all return audio and data channels)
together should not exceed 120 Mbps in one loop.
Data broadcasting
Data broadcasting can be used in special applications.
