ADPRO FastTx by Xtralis Installation and User Manual
Doc 11949_06 65
When multiple ADPRO FastTx units are to be accessed from a single ADPRO VideoCentral
system, each ADPRO FastTx unit MUST have a unique Local IP Address (ie. do not leave at the
factory default address) for each serial and ethernet connection.
For more information, please refer to:
Tech Tip 10470_00 - Unique IP Address Requirements, available on the website:
www.xtralis.com/adpro.
Caution: Contact Xtralis technical support for advice before entering data into: Enable PAP,
PPP Username or PPP Password.
Enable PAP
Factory Default: No
Set this checkbox to enable Password Authentication Protocol. PAP will authenticate the remote
system during the PPP negotiations. The valid username and password are defined by the fields
of PPP Username and PPP Password.
PPP Username
Option: 20 characters maximum.
The Username (or Site Name) that will be provided by PPP when negotiating a serial IP
connection. It is only required when PAP is enabled.
Note: The PPP Username is a function of the modem or TA and will also need to be set in
the device.
PPP Password
Option: 20 characters maximum.
The Password that will be provided by PPP when negotiating a serial IP connection. It is only
required when PAP is enabled.
Note: The PPP Password is a function of the modem or TA and will also need to be set in
the device.
Nominal Data Rate (bits/sec)
Options: 8 kbps, 16 kbps, 32 kbps, 64 kbps, 128 kbps, Auto Detect.
Factory Default: Auto Detect
The Nominal Data Rate option is used by the ADPRO FastTx to maximise the data rate on the
communication link. It is different from the ‘Data Rate’ setting for the Modem / TA, in that ADPRO
FastTx attempts to send data at the specified nominal data rate at all times. This option helps to
provide consistency in the image transmission time of the system, especially when the line
quality of a communications link is unknown.
The Nominal Data Rate should be set to either auto detect or to the known speed of the
communications network. For example, use the ‘128 kbps’ option when connected via a Basic
Rate ISDN line.
