DESCRIPTION The Radiant Communications Corp. V4400 Series Provides broadcast quality, full motion video over IP networks. The system meets MPEG-2 (4,2,0) to 10/100 Ethernet. The bandwidth is user selectable from 1 to 7 MBS. The V4400 series transmits one video channel, stereo audio signals. There are a myriad of applications-for CATV companies sending broadcast channels from TV station to Headend, or from one Headend to another.
V4410 Set-up Hardware Installation 1. Connect the video source to either the BNC Video connector (for composite video) or the SVideo connector. 2. Connect your Lan Ethernet cable to the Ethernet RJ-45. Note: Link and Activity Leds indicate 100Mb and Full Duplex Respectively 3. Power up the unit using the AC line cord. 4. Connect Audio source to the 1/8 th inch Audio Connector using the RCA-to-1/8”Adapter provided. .
b. Select a name and an icon for this connection, click OK. c. Specify the port that you are connected to on your PC (typically COM1), click OK. d. Configure the Port Settings as shown next to communicate with the V4410, click OK.
e. From the Main Admin Menu, select “5” and press ENTER to open the Config Menu. f. Once DHCP is turned off, you will want to modify options 4–7. Record each value that you enter as you will need those values when you go to start/connect to a video stream.
g. When you are finished configuring options, select “12” to Save your settings, and “99” to Return to the Main Admin Menu.
4. Before exiting HyperTerminal, you can assign an Administrative Username and Password to the V4410. a. From the Main Admin Menu, select “5” Config Menu> “11” Security Menu. b. Enter the items that you would like to modify. When you modify the Password, your entry will be visible in plain text and you will be asked to confirm your entry. When finished, you must save your settings in order for them to take effect. Select “3” and press ENTER. 5.
Appendix A: Embedded Web Server Configuration 1. To configure a V4410 unit via the embedded web sever, you must first determine the current IP address of the unit. This can be accomplished using the Configuration Utility. Once the IP address is known, open any standard web browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Netscape’s navigator and specify the address of the unit in the browser location bar. 2. This will bring up the main configuration page, which will allow you to start/stop streams.
for administrative privileges to allow changes from this page. For now as a work around to no control of the DHCP setting, you can power on the unit without connecting the Ethernet, give the unit enough time to boot and fail DHCP, then the unit will default to this configured address, and will respond as such when the Ethernet cable is eventually connected. Otherwise you can currently change the setting for enabling DHCP from either the V4410 Config Utility, or the console menu.
Appendix B: Console Menu Configuration 1. There are two ways to connect to the Console Menu System in the V4410. a) If the IP address of the V4410 unit is known, and your PC is on a network reachable by the unit V4410, then you can simply telnet into the V4410. From Windows 2000/XP click on the start menu, and then the Run…dialog box. Enter the command telnet 192.168.1.84, where you will replace 192.168.1.84 with the actual IP address of the V4410 unit.
Select a name and an icon for this connection…then hit OK Choose the appropriate communications port, the one the cable is connected to…then hit OK.
Configure the settings so the match the above…then hit OK.
2. Once connected to the console Menu System, either by telnet or by a serial connection the interaction should be same in either case. In order to configure the V4410 unit’s IP settings you will want to go to the Configuration Submenu 3. From the Configuration Submenu you will want to modify options 4-7. Once these options have been set to the desired values, you should invoke configuration Submenu item#12 (Save) which will store the new settings into the flash, so they will be stores across a reboot.
Appendix C: Special PC Configuration 1. If all other communication fails with the unit, due to interoperable network configurations it may be necessary for a PC to be removed from the standard network, and specially configured to communicate with the V4410. Once the unit is configured, the PC can be set back to how it was before. 2. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the back of your PC 3. Go to the control panel on your PC, and select the Network Connections Icon. 4.
7. Record the current settings in this window, because we are going to want set them all back to how they look now when we are done. If it is currently set for “Obtain an IP address automatically” then this is all you have to remember, otherwise you will need each of the above settings. 8. After recording the current valid values, you will want to change them to something on the 192.168.1.0. Network. You can use the settings in this example, and they should work just fine. . 9.
the other end into the V4410 unit, and then power up the unit. 11. Assuming that you PC is not running any kind of a DHCP server itself, the Encoder should boot and default to its stored IP 192.168.1.253, unless this has been changed. If the PC is running a DHCP server, then the unit should negotiate an IP address from it. 12. Once booted you should be able to configure the V4410 using any of the configuration techniques discussed in this document.
