OVERVIEW
The IRD-2900 professional MPEG-2 DVB and ATSC processing platform is a flexible integrated-receiver decoder that receives and decodes: QPSK, IP, and QAM data. Figure 1-1 illustrates the IRD process of receiving and decoding.
Page 1-1
1.1.
Logging in to the IRD-2900 MIB is performed through connection to the unit. To connect to the IRD-2900 unit through the MIB browser, perform the following: 1. Initialize the IRD-2900 unit until the front-panel displays the idle screen. For information about initializing the unit, refer to the IRD-2900 User Manual document, Chapters 2 and 3. 2. In the front-panel, press [Enter]. The Root menu is displayed. 3. Go to the Ethernet Management screen Root Configuration Unit Ethernet Management Port. The screen displays the Ethernet port definitions of the unit, such as: MAC address, IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway. 4. Open the MIB Browser. In the IP address field, enter the units IP address and press [Enter] on the keyboard.
Page 1-2
5. Wait for an authorization message on the relevant section of the screen (in Figure 1-2 it is the MG-Soft's Query Results section). Once the message is displayed, the MIB is connected to the IRD-2900 unit.
NOTE
The IRD-2900 is not configured with a default IP address. Thus, in order to login to the MIB, the user must first configure the unit IP definitions, and only then can the user operate the IRD through MIB. For information about setting the IP definitions, refer to the IRD-2900 User Manual document, Chapter 4.3.8.3.
1.1.1.
Community Settings
The MIB community settings must be set as follows: Read Community public Set Community private
NOTE
The Read and Set community settings are affected by capital cases. Please note that no capital case is required for the setting.

Interfaces MIB
The interfaces MIB define the interfaces in the unit. Scopus IRD MIB requires the interface tables in order to define the IRD physical and logical interfaces. Thus, once define, a network-management system (such as Scopus NMS) can identify and locate each interface in the unit. To do so, the Scopus IRD MIB supports two tables: the Interface table (ifTable of interfaces MIB), and the Interface Stack table (ifStackTable from ifMIB). The Interface table contains entries of all physical and logical interfaces of the IRD-2900 unit. Each entry consists of a number of objects detailed in the MIB. The ifTable gets all the available information regarding output-decoding ports (such as Video-1, Audio-3, and so on) as well as the physical interfaces (for example, the Ethernet management port). the information includes: interface index number, interface descriptor name, administrative status, and so on. For more information see Section 2.1.1.1. The Interface Stack table specifies the connectivity and relations between the ports and interfaces, both physical and logical. The table displays a hierarchy of higherLayer and lowerLayer, defining the location of the subject interface in the units hierarchy. For more information see Section 2.1.1.2.

STANDARD MIB
The following sections detail the Standard MIB tables used for support of IRD-2900 MIB objects. The Standard MIB tables include the following groups and tables: Interface MIB Mapping the logical output-decoding ports and physical interfaces of the unit. This group includes of the Interface table (ifTable) and the Interface Stack table (ifStackTable). For details see Section 2.1.1. Entity MIB Mapping the physical and logical components the entiies of the unit, and reference them to their equivalent interfaces from the ifTable. This group includes of the Physical Entity table (entPhysicalTable) and Alias Mapping table (entAliasMappingTable). For details see Section 2.1.2. Transport-Stream Tests MIB Manage transport-stream error-counters, used for the alarms and traps mechanism. This group includes the Tests Summary table (tsTestsSummaryTable). For details see Section 2.1.3. the Tests Summary table also has an augment from the Scopus MIB (see Section 2.2.6.3). Satellite Preference Table (satellitePreferencesTable) Manages the BER (bit error rate) maximum rate for testing and alarm mechanism (see Section 2.1.4). This table also has an augment from the Scopus-IRD MIB (see Section 2.3.1.1).

2.1.3.1.
NOTE
The transport stream tests tables display entries and information for errors supported by the device. The IRD currently does not support PID errors. Therefore the PID Tests table is not in use by the IRD-2900 MIB.
Page 2-15
For example, the first row of the table in Figure 2-12 displays the index of the following objects: Input Number Index (index number 1178599680, drawn from the interface table. this output-decoding port name MPEG-transport layer can be found in the ifTable, Figure 2-2) Test Number Index (index number 1010, displayed in the tsTestsSummaryTestNumber column) Figure 2-12 displays the Test Summary table.
Figure 2-12:
Page 2-16
The Tests table displays the following columns: tsTestsSummaryInputNumber Serves as one of the table indexes. This parameter holds the index number of the relevant interface which the error counter regards to. The index is drawn from the ifTable. tsTestsSummaryTestNumber Serves as one of the table indexes. Contains the index number of the error counter type. Displays an N/A value, as it is a table index. tsTestsSummaryState Displays the current operation mode of the counter. The available options are: Disable Counter is disabled Pass Counter does not reach threshold Fail Counter reaches threshold. An alarm is raised.
tsTestsSummaryEnable Sets the counter operation modes enable or disable. tsTestsSummaryCounter Displays the error counter value how many errors have been detected since the last reset of the counter. tsTestsSummaryCounterDiscontinuity Displays the latest timestamp of the counter reset. tsTestsSummaryCounterReset Allows the user to reset the counter immediately. tsTestsSummaryLatestError Displays the timestamp of the last error appearance (for a specific error counter). tsTestsSummaryActiveTime Displays the duration of activity time of the counter since the device has been powered up.

Alarms (scAlarms)
The Scopus Common Alarms MIB is comprised of two tables and three general configuration objects. The objects in the branch are: Alarm General Configuration Parameters Set general definitions that apply to all alarms at once (see Section 2.2.2.1). Current Alarms Table (scAlarmsCurrentTable) Displays the current status information of all active alarms (see Section 2.2.2.2). Alarm Configuration Table (scAlarmsConfTable) Sets the definition of each supported alarm (see Section 2.2.2.3). OID Path: 1.3.6.1.4.1.4466.1.13.1.4
2.2.2.1.
Page 2-21
2.2.2.2.
Figure 2-14:
The alarms table instance is comprised of three indexes: a physical entity index number (entPhysicalIndex), an interface index number (scAlarmIfIndexOrZero), and an alarm type index number (scAlarmCurrentAlarmType). For example, the highlighted row in Figure 2-14 displays the index of the following objects: SPN-27 Card (physical entity index number 1124073472, this entity name can be found in the physical entity table, Figure 2-6). MPEG Transport Layer (interface index number 1178599680, displayed in the scAlarmIfIndexOrZero column. The index number is drawn from the ifTable. Specific interface details and information can be reviewed through the ifTable according to the presented ifIndex) MPEG-2 synchronization loss alarms (index number 2, the alarm type name is displayed in the scAlarmCurrentAlarmType column). The various indexes of the alarm table allow the table to display several alarms for the same element, or the same alarm occurring in several different elements.
Page 2-22
NOTE
If the alarm is not related to a port, such as hardwareFailure(3) alarm, this column value is 0. scAlarmCurrentAlarmType Serves as one of the table indexes. This column displays the type of the alarm. Scopus IRD current version for Alarm MIB supports the following alarms: mpeg2SyncLoss (2) Rise on input TS synchronization loss. hardwareFailure (3) Rise on general hardware failure. mpeg2InvalidPsi (5) Rise if the transport stream lacks the PAT table. testTsBufferOverflow (6) Rise if the TS test counter reaches a threshold for transport stream overflow error. Test name: BufferError (3030) testTsIndicator (7) Rise if TS test counter reaches a threshold for a transport stream indicator error. Test name: TransportError (2010) testContinuityCounter (8) Rise if TS test reaches a threshold for transport stream continuity error. Test name: ContinuityCountError (1040) testCRC (9) Rise if TS test counter reaches a threshold for a CRC error. Test name: CRCError (2020) testPcrDiscontinuity (10) Rise if TS test counter reaches a threshold for PCR discontinuity error Test name: PcrDiscontinuityError (2032)
Page 2-23
NOTE
The alarm timestamp value is set according to the IRD. Yet, as the IRD does not have an inner clock, this value may be incorrect. To keep the alarm timestamp accurate, make sure that the Date and Time object (see Section 2.2.1.1) is set accurately. scAlarmEntPhysicalIndex Serves as one of the table indexes. Draws information from the Physical Entity table (entPhysicalTable). This object contains the index numbers of the physical component affected by the displayed alarm's cause.
Page 2-24
2.2.2.3.
Figure 2-15:
The alarm table index is the scAlarmsConfALarmType object, drawn from the table itself. The instance value (a number between 2-13) represents the type of the entry alarm. The table displays the following information: scAlarmsConfAlarmType Serves as the table index. This column displays the type of the alarm presented in the row. scAlarmConfSeverity Allows the user to set the alarm severity level. The available values are:
scAlarmConfDescription A character string detailing a verbal description of the alarm type. This information is sent with the trap, as to entitle the raised/canceled alarm with a more convenient name.
Page 2-25
2.2.3.
Traps (scTraps)
Traps are sent by the device without manager intervention whenever a trap event occurs (for example, a raised alarm). In order for the traps to reach the destination host management station, the Traps Destination table (scTrapsDestTable) must be configured (see Figure 2-16).
NOTE
Starting from SW v1.70, traps destination hosts can be configured from the Web-Based Management and from the CLI (for information about these control interfaces refer to the IRD-2900 User Manual).
Figure 2-16:
The table has two index sources: Destination IP Address (scTrapDestIpAddress) Drawn from this table, it is the IP address of the host Destination UDP Port (scTrapDestUdpPort) Drawn from this table, it is the UDP port number of the host. The information displayed in the traps destination table is: scTrapDestIpAddress Sets the IP address of the trap destination. scTrapDestUdpPort Sets the port number of the trap destination. scTrapDestDescription Optional object. Displays a string describing the trap destination. scTrapDestCommunityString Optional object. Displays a string describing the community of the trap. This serves as a very preliminary sort of security. This is mainly used by the NMS to identify the device that has sent the trap.
Page 2-26
2.2.3.1.
Notifications
Notifications are MIB objects representing trap-events. The Scopus-Common Notifications, as well as other standard notifications (such as snmpV2) are a group of pre-defined trap-events. Scopus-IRD-MIB currently supports some standard and Scopus-Common trap notifications. The Scopus-IRD MIB supports the following trap notifications: From the Standard MIB: Warm Start for details see section 2.1.5.
From the Scopus-Common MIB: scGoingToReboot Sends a trap before the device restarts itself. scAlarmOn Sends a trap at an alarm registration scAlarmOff Sends a trap at an alarm cancellation scSettingsChanged Sends a trap 10 second after the most recent set-up change. If there are several changes with differences of less than 10 seconds from one another, the trap is sent after the last change performed. scModuleInserted Sends a trap at CAM insertion. scModuleRemoved Sends a trap at CAM removal.
Page 2-27
Figure 2-17:
Traps Log
Page 2-28
The trap displays a notification about the alarm: the sending device, timestamp, agent and manager addresses, community type, and binding. Bindings are a list of informative objects referring to the trap. The first two bindings are standard SNMPv2 objects: sysUpTime How long does the system exist and is active. snmpTrapOID Displays the type of the trap.
In addition to the standard SNMPv2 objects, the traps also send objects configured by Scopus. These objects are: scAlarmCurrentTimestamp Sends the timestamp of the trap event's occurence. scAlarmEntPhysicalIndex Sends the index number of the physical entity affected by the alarm. scAlarmIfIndexOrZero Sends the index number of the interface affected by the alarm. If the alarm did not affect the interfaces, for example in the case of a hardware alarm, this binding sends a 0 value. scAlarmConfAlarmType Sends the alarm type. scAlarmConfSeverity Sends the alarm severity level. scAlarmConfDescription Sends the alarm description a string of characters describing the alarm name.
Page 2-29
2.2.4.
IP (scIp)
The Scopus IP branch holds the Scopus IP table (scIpTable). The Scopus IP table contains all the Ethernet objects for all Scopus products. All IRD-2900 Ethernet Management Port information is set through this table. OID Path: 1.3.6.1.4.1.4466.1.13.1.9.1 Figure 2-18 shows an example of the Scopus IP table.
Figure 2-18:
The table index is the ifIndex of the Ethernet ports. The table presents the following objects: IP Address (scIpAddress) Sets the Ethernet port's IP Address Subnet Mask (scIpSubnetMask) Sets the Ethernet port's subnet mask address Default Gateway (scIpDefaultGateway) Sets the Ethernet port's default gateway address.
NOTE
The Scopus IP branch also holds the Static Route's table (scIpStaticRouteTable). This table is for the use of other Scopus devices and is not supported by the IRD-2900.
Page 2-30
2.2.5.
Stream (scStream)
The Scopus Stream MIB contains information related to the transport streams and the received services. The Scopus Stream MIB contains three active MIB groups relevant for IRD service-management functions: MPEG-2 PSI (scMpeg2Psi) Manages MPEG-2 tables such as PAT, PMT, and so on (see Section 2.2.5.1) DVB SI (scDvbSi) Manages DVB standard tables, such as SDT, BIT, and so on (see Section 2.2.5.2) Descriptors (scStreamDescriptors) Manages stream descriptors of all standards (see Section 2.2.5.3).

General Parameter
The Scopus Tests General Parameters allow the user to set all counters in the Tests tables (both tsTests and scTests tables). The general parameters group holds the following objects: Reset All Counters (scTestsResetAllCounters) Allows the user to
immediately reset all error counters. OID Path: 1.3.6.1.4.1.4466.1.13.1.11.1 Automatic Counters Reset Enabled (scTestsAutomaticCountersReset
Enabled) Sets the reset control mode of all counters. The reset can be performed by either the user, using a given time interval, or by the NMS application. When this object is set to on, the counters are reset according to a userdefined time interval (see Section 2.2.6.3). When this object is set to off, the counter reset is within the responsibility of the NMS application. OID Path: 1.3.6.1.4.1.4466.1.13.1.11.2 Set All Intervals (scTestsSetAllIntervals) Allows the user to set all counter intervals to a unanimous value. OID Path: 1.3.6.1.4.1.4466.1.13.1.11.3

The index number is drawn from the ifTable) Test Type Number (index number 2, displayed and verbally described in the scTestsType column) The Tests table displays the following columns: scTestsIfIndex Serves as one of the table indexes. Displays the name and instance number of the output-decoding port under test. The information in this column is drawn from the interface table (ifTable). The interface name can be found in the ifTable. scTestsType Serves as one of the table indexes. Displays the error type of the counter both by number and name. scTestsSummaryState Displays the current operation mode of the counter. The available options are: disable Counter is disabled pass Counter does not reach threshold fail Counter reaches threshold. Alarm is raised.
scTestsSummaryEnable Sets the counter operation modes enable or disable. scTestsCounter Displays the error counter value how many errors have been detected since the last reset of the counter. scTestsCounterDiscontinuity Displays the latest timestamp of the raised error, and activity duration time. scTestsCounterReset Allows the user to reset the counter immediately. scTestsLatestError Displays the timestamp of the latest error appearance (for a specific error counter). scTestsActiveTime Displays the activity duration of the counter since the device has been powered up. scTestsThreshold Sets a maximum threshold value for the error counter. If the counter reaches the set threshold, the relevant alarm is raised. scTestsInterval Sets a reset interval when reset is user-defined. The interval sets the period of time until the counter is reset to 0. For an alarm to rise, the counter must reach the threshold within the given interval period of time.

File (scFile)
The Scopus File branch (scFile) manages up to 10 setup configuration files of the unit. The File MIB OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.4466.1.13.1.8. This branch holds the following objects: Next Free Index (scFileOperatorNextFreeIndex) Suggests the next free index number for a new entry in the File Operation table (scFileOperationTable). The suggestions begin from 1 and onward (2, 3, and so on) where the suggested number is the first free value (meaning an index number not in use in the Operations table). File Operation Table (scFileOperationTable) Manages the configuration files (see Section 2.2.8.1). Files Table () Displays a list of the available configuration files according to their configured file names (see Section 2.2.8.2).
2.2.8.1.
NOTE
Note that each entry in the table is an action, not a file's list. This means that for every new entry one must set a new index number, and destroying entries in the table does not remove the configuration files from the database.
Figure 2-24:
Page 2-43
Status (scFileOperationStatus) Displays the operation's current status. The available options are: notStarted (1) An action was selected. The action did not start yet. inProgress (2) Action in progress finished (3) Action completed successfully failed (4) Action failed
Error Code (scFileOperationErrorCode) Displays the error code in case of a failed operation status (scFileOperationStatus shows 'failed (4)'). Refer to the MIB file for a full error code list.
Error Description (scFileOperationErrorDescription) Displays a verbal description of the operation failure cause. If the operation succeeded, this column is empty.
NOTE
Although all objects are writable when creating new entries, these objects become read-only once the entry is created successfully. The only action available for an existing entry is "destroy" from the Row Status object (scFile OperationRowStatus).
Page 2-44
Row Status (scFileOperationRowStatus) Allows the user to create new or delete entries in the table. The IRD-2900 supports the following Row Status options: active (1) The operation row status is active. This is a read-only status and cannot be configured by the user. createAndGo (4) A new operation row is created. When the file is ready, it will automatically be set as 'active (1)'. destroy (6) The selected operation row from the File Operation table (scFileOperationTable) configuration file is deleted. When executing a new operation, perform the following: 1. Create a new entry in the table, by prompting for an instance. 2. Enter a new row instance. Scopus recommends using the scFileOperation NextFreeIndex value. To verify the instance structure, check the Entry object properties information (scFileOperationEntry). 3. Set the configuration objects in the Entry setting window. The following objects are mandatory information for creating a new entry: Operation Index Number (scFileOperationIndex) Cannot be changed after creation Row Status (scFileOperationRowStatus) The row status' value must be set to 'createAndGo' (4). File Name (scFileOperationFileName) Sets a new file name when using "export" command; selects the requested file when using "import" or "remove" command. Cannot be changed after creation. Operation Type (scFileOperationType) Selects the requested command. Cannot be changed after creation.

Error Counters
The error counters count appearances of error within a given amount of time. Using the DVB Standards TS Tests tables and the Scopus augmentation and other Tests tables, the error counters give the detailed information about the requested error, and set a threshold for the counter for alarm raising purposes.
3.1.1.1.
This error information, however, does not allow the user to be informed when an error occurs frequently enough to raise an alarm. Augments and additions were created by Scopus, and inserted as the Scopus Tests.

Alarms
When an error counter detects a frequent error, meaning the counter has reached the given threshold before being reset, an alarm is raised. The alarms mechanism is managed through the Scopus-Common MIB scAlarms with two tables, Current Alarms (scAlarmsCurrentTable) and Alarms Configuration (scAlarmsConfTable). Alarms can also be masked

Traps
When an alarm is raised, the user must be informed. The unit sends a trap whenever an alarm occurs. The trap in configured with a destination IP and Port location.
NOTE
Starting from SW v1.70, traps can also be configured through the IRD-2900's Web-Based Management and the CLI. For more information about these interfaces please refer to the IRD-2900 User Manual.
3.1.3.1.
Page 3-5
3.1.3.2.
NOTE
Traps are sent to all registered hosts listed in the Trap Destination table.
DELETE A ROW
In order to delete an existing row, perform the following: 1. Access the Set Screen of the Row Status parameter. Make sure to access the Row Status of the row to be deleted. 2. Set the value of the Row Status to 'destroy(6)'.
NOTE
In the MG-Soft MIB browser, when creating a new row and accessing the set screen of the Row Status, it is recommended not to select a specific row for editing, simply close the window by clicking the X icon on the top-right corner.
Page 3-6
2. Set the new IP address and port values. Insert the values separated by periods. For example, to enter the IP address 10.2.2.100 and port 162 enter 10.2.2.100.162.
NOTE
162 is the standard port for trap destinations. Nevertheless, Scopus devices support other traps when requested. In the MG-Soft MIB browser, the OID field in the Set window displays the OID of the object, a destination IP address, and port values (separates with periods). If a specific row was not selected, the index displays the OID followed by a 0. to set the new IP address and port values, delete the existing values (or 0) and enter the new setting (numbers separated by periods). 3. Set the parameter value to 'createAndGo(4)' to create a new active row. The new row appears in the Trap Destination table with its configured IP address, port number, and row status ('active(1)'). 4. Set the community and description parameters (optional).

Figure 3-16:
NOTE
IP Network Configuration objects are set using the IP Configuration table (scIpTable). This table is located in the Scopus-Common MIB (see Section 2.2.4).
The IP receiver objects are categorized into several groups, detailed in the following sections. The ifTable contains the index numbers of the IP Network table and the IP Port table. The IP Network table contains network information of the IP Port, such as: IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. The IP Port table contains information concerning source addresses and local ports. The information and configuration of the two tables set the definitions of one of the two IP ports in the IP Card. The IP Card also contains general objects (found under the menu carrying this title in the IRD front panel IP Menu). The general objects are set using the IP Configuration. The index number of this table is the MPEG-over-IP card instance number, extracted from the Physical Entity table. The IP Card then compresses the information into a transport stream and sends it for further decoding in the IRD.

Stream Ports
The Stream Ports group sets the ASI input and output port types. Figure 3-22 illustrates the ASI Port objects group. For OID information, see Section 2.3.2. Stream port definitions: Input Rate (scIrdStreamInputRate) - Sets the transport stream minimum or maximum bit rate available range. It also determines whether the Common Interface (CI) is supported and can receive decrypted services. The available options are: high-speed (0) ASI input supports bit rates over 108 Mbps with PID dropping. fast (1) ASI input supports a bit rate of up to 108 Mbps. CI is not supported in this mode. normal (2) ASI input supports bit rates up to 72 Mbps. CI is supported in this mode. ASI Output Type (scIrdStreamAsiOutputType) - Activates the port and decryption operation. The available options are: decryption-on (0) The transport stream passes through the Common Interface, allowing cascading. decryption-off (1) The transport stream passes through the ASI output but not through the common interface. Cascading is unavailable. none (2) The ASI output is disabled. filtering (3) The transport stream that passes through the port is filtered. Filtering definitions are set through the filtering branch (scIrdStreamFiltering, see Section 3.3.5).
Page 3-32

3.3.4.
ASI Mode
The stream ASI Mode object (scIrdStreamAsiMode) allows the user to set the ASI ports working mode. For OID information, see Section 2.3.2. The available options are: burst (0) normal (1)
3.3.5.
Filters
The stream filtering branch (scIrdStreamFiltering) allows the user to filter the output decoded stream from unnecessary information. For OID information see section 2.3.2. The output decoded stream is composed of the decoded service as well as a considerable amount of segments (null). These segments take a large part of the band width and bit-rate, yet are not required for the stream and are considered as useless items. The filters allow the user to select the decoding filtering mode in a way that narrows the numbers of segments in the stream, thus clearing the bandwidth from useless information. Fro example, on a 40Mb bandwidth stream, the decoded service can use approximately 4Mb. The rest of the bandwidth 36Mb are null information, segments. The stream filters can cut down all the segments, leaving the stream clear with the 4Mb use of the decoded service only.

Figure 3-24:
Page 3-37
Strategy (scIrdStreamFilteringStrategy) Sets the stream-filtering strategy of operation. This strategy affects the transmitted services, selected according to the transmission mode. The available options are: decoded-only (0) The transmitted stream is not filtered and decoded as usual. services (1) The transmitted stream is filtered according to services. The services can be selected through the Filtering Service table (scIrd StreamFilteringServiceTable). pids (2) The transmitted stream is filtered according to PIDs. The PIDs can be selected through the Filtering PIDs table (scIrdStreamFiltering PidTable).
Bit-Rate
Mode
(scIrdStreamFilteringBitRateMode)
Selects
the
transmission bit-rate mode. The available options are vbr (0) or cbr (1). When filtering the stream in VBR (Variable Bit-Rate) mode, the stream must be configured with a maximum available bit-rate sum (through the scIrdStreamFilteringBitRate object). Thus, when filtering the stream from segments, the total bit-rate can vary up to the maximum selected bit-rate in the bit-rate object. When filtering the stream in CBR (Constant Bit-Rate) mode, the stream bit-rate use is constant. If the set bit-rate is higher than the total sum of the filters-stream bit-rate, some of the segments will remain in the stream to fill the bit-rate up to the constant set value. Bit-Rate (scIrdStreamFilteringBitRate) Sets the maximum available stream bit-rate. The value ranges from 500,000 to 72,000,000 bps. Clear Services (scIrdStreamFilteringClearServices) Clears all selects services from the services table. Clear PIDs (scIrdStreamFilteringClearPids) Clears all selected PIDs from the PIDs table.
Page 3-38
Filtering PIDs Table (scIrdStreamFilteringPidTable) Selects PIDs-to-filter when filtering strategy is set to 'pids (2)'. The table presents the following objects: PID (scIrdStreamFilteringPid) Selects the PIDs-to-filter from the transport-stream according to the PID number. Status (scIrdStreamFilteringPidStatus) Allows the user to create and drop entries from the table. The supported options are: active (1) The PID specified in the entry is supported and active. createAndGo (4) Add a new entry. The entry is immediately set as 'active (1)'. destroy (6) Drop the selected entry from the table.

SERVICE
Service Configuration
The Service group manages the service channels and service port configurations. The Interface table (ifTable) displays each output-decoding port entry by name (ifDescr column), Instance number (Instance), and its type (ifType). Figure 3-25 shows an example of the ifTable, highlighting the mentioned columns.
Figure 3-25:
The Service Port table (scIrdServiceConfigPortEntry) details the ports and their Channel alignments (see Figure 3-26). In this example, 513 is a PID assigned to Port Video-1 (to know which port, compare the instance number with the interface table instances and find the name of the port). Notice that PID number 513 is allocated to Video-1, which is configured to Channel-1 (see scIrdServiceConfigPortChannel column).

Strategy
The Strategy group sets the functioning of the IRD in case of program absent or stream cascading strategy. For OID information, see Section 2.3.3.1. Strategy definitions: Program Absent (scIrdServiceStrategyProgramAbsent) - Sets the object mode of operation. When a program number (sent in PAT) is missing in the received stream, the Program Absent object defines the behaviour of the IRD in such a case. The available options are: goto-first (0) Searches for the first program number in the transport stream and attaches it to the service wait-user (1) When the program number is missing, the service waits for a user-defined program number CAS strategy (scIrdServiceStrategyCas) defines which ES will be decrypted by the CAM. It is possible to either instruct the IRD-2900 to decrypt all the received ES, or allow it to decrypt only the ones that are currently being decoded.. The available options are: decodedOnly (0) the IRD decryps the decoded elementary streams from the incoming transport stream. all (1) The IRD decrypts all elementary streams in the incoming transport stream.

Service Port
This group of objects sets the output-decoding port definitions. Figure 3-28 illustrates the Service Port objects group. For OID information, see Section 2.3.3.2. Service port definitions: Output-decoding port PID (scIrdServiceConfigPortPid) - Sets the Packet Identifier of an output-decoding port in a service port. Port Channel (scIrdServiceConfigPortChannel) Connect an outputdecoding port to a specific service channel. If an output-decoding port mode is set to stand-alone, the value of this object is set to 0 PCR interface index (scIrdServiceConfigPortPcrIfIndex) - Sets the interface index number of the PCR port connected to a service port. If the PCR port is not connected to a service port, the PCR IF index value is 0. Preferred language (scIrdServiecConfigPortPrefLanguage) Sets the preferred language for a service port. Page (scIrdServiceConfigPortPage) Selects the Teletext or Subtitle page.
Figure 3-28:

3.4.1.3.
Service Channel
The Service Channel table contains the channel object definitions of the service. For OID information, see Section 2.3.3.2. Service channel definitions: Channel Number (scIrdServiceConfigChannelNumber) Gets the channel number, used for the service index. This object is not accessible but its preinserted information is the index for the Instance column of the table. Service ID (scIrdServiceConfigChannelServiceId) Sets the service ID number. The service ID is the program number and is acquired from the PAT in the transport stream. Figure 3-29 illustrates the relations between the service channel and port tables. The Service Channel table contains the service ID numbers in the allocated channel entry. The Service Port table details the output-decoding ports in the service channels. The Channel column (scIrdServiceConfigPortChannel) allocates each outputdecoding port to its service channel. The output-decoding port name is found in the Interface table. This name can be located by comparing the instance number in the Port table to the instance number in the Interface table. (ifTable and scIrdServiceConfigPortTable).

The Service ID is the Instance number of the requested program. The Program name is located in Stream Service under the name serviceDescr (for further information see Section 3.4.3). The two services Channel numbers are 1 and 2, and correspond with the IRD front-panel TV1 and TV2 channels. While the selection of the TV1/TV2 Select presents the service list of the channel, the Channel table does not display service information. Service information (such as: PID, Channel, PCR, and preferred language) is displayed in the Service Port table (see Section 3.4.2). To check the service name, access the Stream Service table (scStreamServiceTable). For more information on accessing the table, see Section 3.4.3.

Service Configuration
The Channel table gets the channel number and sets a service to that channel. When setting a service to the channel, the table does not display the Service Name (unlike in the corresponding option in the IRD Front Panel) Rather, the Service name can be found in the Stream Service table (scStreamServiceTable, see Figure 3-33).
Figure 3-33:

This table displays the Service Name under scStreamServcieName and its Service ID number under scStreamServiceIndex1. When setting a program, select it by its name from the Name column and set the Instance number into the Service Channel table, under Service ID (scIrdServiceConfigChannelServiceId, see Figure 3-34).

Figure 3-35:
When changing the output-decoding port PID, the new PID can be any number in the range of 0 to 1FFF, as long as it is taken from the PMT of the specific program. This way the port still recognizes the output-decoding port as part of the service and keeps it within the channel. When the PID is not taken from the service PMT, the port cannot identify the output-decoding port and drops it from the channel. When setting the PID to a value that does not exist in the service and that is different from the available values in the PMT, the user must set Mapping Object to 0 (set column scIrdServiceConfigPortChannel in Port table). When the mapping is set to 0, the output-decoding port is set as a stand-alone object,

To indicate that this program is related to this channel the PMT holding the Service ID number is located with the Channel 2 title. The PMT holding the elementary streams is routed to the relevant outputdecoding ports in Channel 2, titled correspondingly to the channel: Video becomes Video-2, Audio becomes Audio-3 and so on. The program still recognizes these elementary streams by their constant PID. The SDT contains the name of the program and is located in the Stream Service table (scStreamServiceTable).
NOTE
The mapping column (scIrdServiceConfigChannel) indicates whether an outputdecoding port is related to Channel 1 or Channel 2, as the Service Port table displays all output-decoding ports for both channels and services. The outputdecoding port can also be set as a stand-alone. This setting is used when the

VBI
This group sets the VBI definitions. The VBI Instance is composed of two numeric values, separated by a decimal point and extracted from the ifTable and scIrdVbiType object. The first number represents the VBI output-decoding port (VBI-1 or VBI-2) and the second represents the VBI Type. Figure 3-46 shows an example of the VBI table. The first nine rows represent each VBI Type definition in VBI-1, while the other nine rows represent each VBI type definitions in VBI-2. In the highlighted entry, VBI-1 is represented by the number 1179189504.# (to confirm, access the table index, ifTable, and search for the output-decoding port name allocated with the instance).
