Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION The RX8200 Receiver is a component of the MPEG-4 AVC/ MPEG-2/DVB compliant range of Ericsson equipment designed for use by broadcasters and distributors of video, audio and data Services over satellite. The Satellite Receiver interfaces directly to a Low-Noise Block (LNB) on a satellite dish and takes an intermediate frequency (IF) input in the band 950 - 2150 MHz (L-band). The unit can provide dc power and polarisation switching to the LNB.
Receiver Installation and Connection 2 RECEIVER INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Mount the RX8200 in a 19-inch standard rack in an MCR or CER that has an RF satellite feed to Reuters RLS/WNE. 2.1 REPLACING AN EXISTING EMR SATELLITE RECEIVER There will be many instances where the RX8200 unit is being installed on a client site to replace an existing EMR satellite receiver. In such cases it is very important to note the following: 2.
Receiver Installation and Connection Figure 3. Existing EMR Receiver and On Board NIC Connection – M51, M52 & M58 2.4 MANAGEMENT CONNECTION Default IP Address - 192.168.4.4 Connect a second network cable to the management port (labelled CONTROL 2) on the RX8200 unit and connect this cable to the clients network. The IP address for this port can be set from the front panel of the receiver.
Global Satellite Coverage 3 GLOBAL SATELLITE COVERAGE 3.1 SATELLITE PARAMETERS Global satellite coverage for the WNE and RLS services are transmitted via the regional satellite providers listed below. You must ensure that your satellite dish is actually positioned to point to the relevant location. The frequency of the LNB used in your installed satellite dish will also be required during the configurations that follow in this document.
Global Satellite Coverage Configuring the RX8200 The most efficient way to configure an RX8200 is via its web-based management interface. It is also possible to configure most of the receiver functionality through the front panel menu control buttons. 3.2 USING THE RECEIVER FRONT PANEL MENU SYSTEM The four arrow pushbuttons are used to navigate through the receiver menu system. Each arrow pushbutton backlight is illuminated when a further menu can be reached by pressing that pushbutton.
Global Satellite Coverage 3.4 CONFIGURATION OF NETWORK ACCESS Access to the RX8200 should be configured on a client site as shown in the Figure 7 below. The management address of the RX receiver and the second WNE Server IP address should be on the same network as the clients’ local area network (LAN). .1 WNE Data 172.16.2.x Management .10 Client Network .10 Client LAN 192.168.0.x .2 Figure 7.
Global Satellite Coverage Figure 9 Home Status Page Alarm messages will be displayed on this Status page until all RLS and WNE configurations have been completed. Select the Input tab, then select Input Source and Primary Input as SAT and select Apply Changes to store this configuration. Figure 10. Satellite Input Select the Satellite Input tab at the bottom of the browser page.You will now see a list of the L-band inputs.
Global Satellite Coverage Figure 11 Satellite Input Screen Configure the satellite input parameters for the client site. Please use the Global Satellite Coverage options in this document to determine the local settings required for your client region. Ask a client engineering representative for the frequency details of the LNB connected to their in-house satellite dish.
Global Satellite Coverage 3.6 SETTING UP THE SATELLITE RECEIVER ON WNE Two multicast addresses exist to distinguish between PAL/625 and NTSC/525 on Reuters WNE (i.e.), each broadcast stream exists on a separate multicast address. These addresses are provided below: Standard IP Address MAC Address Hexadecimal 525 224.14.14.14 01:00:5E:0E:0E:0E 625 224.14.14.15 01:00:5E:0E:0E:0F Figure 13.
Global Satellite Coverage Within the MPE section, make sure the following information is included: 3.7 PID: – From the drop down tab, the PID 3550 – USER should be available once the receiver is tuned into RLS. If not then a 0 – USER PID will be displayed which can also be selected. Filter MAC: - Enter the MAC address as shown in Figure 13 above for your client region. User PID: - 3550 MPE Enable: - Select this box.
Global Satellite Coverage 3.8 RECORDING THE MAC ADDRESS Similar to the EMR satellite receiver, the RX receiver also needs its MAC address recorded and provided to the ICA team in London. The physical MAC address is located under the Output menu under IP Out 2. All MAC addresses will be 12 digits long. Please record this value accurately as it is used to control client permissions. Figure 16.
Global Satellite Coverage 3.9 RECORDING THE UNIQUE HARDWARE ID The Unique Hardware ID is required by ICA in London to control the encryption permissions for Reuters RLS content. This information must be accuractly recorded and given to the ICA tesm in London. The Hardware ID can be found in one of two locations on an RX8200. On the web management interface as shown below under the Customization tool. The Hardware ID can also be seen on the front panel display of the RX8200 under menu option 5.2.
Global Satellite Coverage 3.10 SAVING A CONFIGURATION FILE The RX receiver automatically saves each configuration setting as an active profile setting. It is possible to store a configuration as an xml file that can be used to restore an RX8200 receiver. Browse to the Save/Load tab. Under the Save Configuration to File section Right Click to save the settings entered in the satellite receiver. Create a logical name for this configuration file e.g. __.xml.
Global Satellite Coverage 3.11 RESTORING A CONFIGURATION FILE From the Save/Load configuration tab on the RX8200 interface, select the Browse option under Restore Configuration from file and locate the appropriate xml configuration file. Once selected, click on the Upload button to apply the configuration. Once the configuration file has been accepted you’ll see a Result SUCCESS notification at the bottom of the browser window.
Global Satellite Coverage 3.12 RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS To clear current configuration settings, either overwrite an existing configuration profile or reset the configuration parameters. The reset can be done under the Device Info page and does not reset the IP address. Select the Reset Parameters to Factory Defaults. Figure 4. Reset Factory Defaults Figure 5.
Troubleshooting 4 TROUBLESHOOTING 4.1 UNABLE TO LOCK TO THE WNE SIGNAL Items to verify: 4.2 Confirm that the Input source is selected as SAT (for satellite feed) as shown in Figure 10. Also ensure that the Primary Input is configured as SAT. Confirm that you’ve selected the correct multicast address to filter WNE Data as shown in Figure 13. Verify the LNB values that have been entered (refer to Figure 12).
FAQs 5 FAQS 5.1 DOES THE RX8200 RECEIVER WORK WITH THE OLDER WNE PCS? This receiver performs the same function as the older SkyStream EMR receivers. It is designed to detect the IP data (WNE) contained within the Reuters stream and pass this data to any of the WNE PCs or Dell server. 5.
Appendix APPENDIX 1 1.1 MAC ADDRESS CHANGE – REPLACING AN EMR RECEIVER WITH AN RX8200. The onsite client scenario will be as follows. 1. Existing client installed with a configured EMR satellite receiver. The MAC address (Ethernet 2) of the EMR is being used for encryption and decryption of video files arriving on the WNE PC/Server. 2. WNE software scans for the MAC address on the EMR and confirms that this is the correct MAC address for this client installation. 3.
Appendix APPENDIX 2 2.1 CHECKING EXISTING EMR MAC ADDRESS 1. An EMR browser page can be accessed through the any browser window on a PC connected to Ethernet 2 on the receiver. 2. Open a browser window and type the default IP address of the EMR – 172.16.2.2. 3. You will be prompted for a user name and password to access the unit. The username is emradmin with no password. 4. Select Network Interface under Statistics and scroll down for the Ethernet 2 MAC address.
