Table 4-4 QAM Gateway Fields
Field Description
QAM IP IP address of the QAM gateway.
QAM MAC MAC address of the next Layer 3 device connected to the Streamer in the path
to the QAM device. The MAC address can be entered with or without the colon
separators.
We recommend you leave the QAM MAC setting blank and allow ARP to
determine the MAC address of the next Layer 3 device. To specify the next
Layer 3 device, see the “Configuring the Route Table” section on page 4-118.
QAM Type Used in ASI streaming only. From the drop-down list, choose the QAM type:
NSG, Path1, Prisma–Seq., Prisma–even, Prisma–odd, GQAM, and so on. The
Prisma suffix refers to whether the UDP port numbering is sequential (seq.),
even, or odd.
Stream Group
Preferences
Choose the preference for each Stream Group. The preferences are:
• High—First preference of Streamer or Stream Group to stream to this QAM.
• Medium—Second preference of Streamer or Stream Group to stream to this
QAM.
• Low—Lowest preference of Streamer or Stream Group to stream to this
QAM.
• None—Do not use this Streamer or Stream Group to stream to this QAM.
Note If your CDS network is deployed with a single-site steering
configuration, you only see High and None as Stream Group Preference
options, and only one Stream Group can have a preference of high.
For more information on creating Stream Groups, see the “Configuring Stream
Groups” section on page 4-58.
