CME-5200 Digicast Media Router ASI Receiver Device Management via User Interfaces 4.5 Revision A MN/MRASIRCDC.IOM Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) The ASI-R supports changes to the resident software and firmware by means of the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). This enables changes to be made remotely via the LAN interface. It is recommended to use Solarwinds TFTP server application (available at http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/SelectProgramFree.cfm).
CME-5200 Digicast Media Router ASI Receiver Device Management via User Interfaces 4.6 Revision A MN/MRASIRCDC.IOM Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) (Future) Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) has not been enabled on this product and is planned as a future release. However, when enabled, SNMP allows an SNMP Manager such as OpenView or Castle Rock to be used to remotely manage the ASI-R in an automated fashion. The ASI-R supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2).
Appendix A. SOFTWARE UPGRADE A.1 Introduction The ASI-R is enabled to receive an upgrade via Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) transmission. Comtech EF Data recommends using the Solarwinds TFTP server application (available at http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/SelectProgramFree.cfm) for upgrading the product. NOTE The user will be instructed whether to select Application or FPGA code in the download instructions provided by CEFD when new code is provided.

Appendix B. IP ROUTING SUPPORT B.1 Introduction The ASI-R provides state-of-the-art MPE decapsulation based on the DVB Specification for Data Broadcasting (EN 301 192). The ASI-R provides the following configuration features: • • • • • B.
CME-5200 Digicast Media Router ASI Receiver IP Routing Support Revision A MN/MRASIRCDC.IOM first byte of the six-byte MAC address is a ‘0’. For example, 0x00 11 22 33 44 55 is a Unicast address. Unicast is supported by the ASI-R as it would be in any routed network. Packets received by the ASI-R are routed to the Ethernet if they meet the subnet criteria or the ASI-R is configured to route non-local packets to a default gateway.
CME-5200 Digicast Media Router ASI Receiver IP Routing Support Revision A MN/MRASIRCDC.IOM Note that the upper 5 bits of the multicast IP address are ignored in the MAC so that 32 Multicast group IP addresses map to a single MAC address. This implies further filtering is required at the end device. B.3 Section Packing Section packing is a technique to provide more optimal utilization of the MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) packet structure.
