Innovator CU0TD-1/CU0RD-1 – CU4TD/CU4RD 8VSB ATSC Modulator
ATSC Transmitter/Regenerative Translator
Instruction Manual, Rev. 2 35
Web GUI
The modulator hosts an internal web interface (Web GUI) accessible through its Ethernet
port. The Web GUI is an intuitive interface allowing the user to access the current
modulator status and configure the operational parameters of the system. The Web
interface uses a simple hierarchical menu structure which provides access to all
modulator parameters.
For a detailed description of the Web GUI interface refer to Web GUI Interface.
CLI
The CLI allows the user to access the current modulator status and configure the
operational parameters of the system. The CLI uses a simple hierarchical menu
structure which provides access to all modulator parameters.
For a detailed description of the CLI interface refer to CLI (Command Line Interface).
Local Access
The modulator can be controlled and monitored locally (on site) through the Ethernet
Port and/or the USB port with a laptop PC.
The Ethernet port provides access to the Web GUI and CLI through Telnet. The USB
port provides access to the CLI, which allows the operator to perform initial
setup/troubleshooting when network connectivity is not available or desired.
Remote Access
The Network Management System (NMS) operator can control and monitor the
modulator remotely through the Ethernet port and LAN using the Web GUI and/or SNMP
interfaces.
To facilitate the remote control of several modulators, each modulator may be
individually named (16 characters). This “name” is available on the control interfaces.
Network Parameters
The network parameters need to be configured properly to communicate with the
modulator on an IP network. This is required to access the Web GUI, SNMP or the CLI
on Telnet, as well as for upgrading the main software components.
If the default network settings are known and want to be changed, the user can do so
with the Web GUI – see Figure 31 for details.
