Dolby Laboratories encourages use of the Dolby Digital trademark to identify soundtracks that are encoded in Dolby Digital. This is an effective way to inform listeners of the soundtrack format, and the use of a standard logo promotes easy recognition in the market place.

Command Line Interface

CLI Basics
This chapter covers the basic operation and commands of the Command Line Interface (CLI). After reading this chapter, you will be able use the CLI to configure and manage the iPlex. However, this chapter only gives the basic commands as examples of syntax; for information on parameters, you need to reference Chapter 3: Using the Web GUI. You can access the TANDBERG Television iPlexs command line interface through a telnet, SSH, or console (serial port) connection. Accessing the command line interface is referred to as a CLI session.
SSH (Secure SHell) A protocol that runs over TCP to cryptographically secure login sessions.
When you establish a CLI session, commands within the iPlexs CLI are in a tree structure. To configure the iPlex, you need to understand how to navigate the CLI tree structure. The following section walks you through navigating within the CLI tree. With the help of the question mark (?) and Show functions, you will learn how to determine where you are in the tree, and what functions and subcommands are available. Depending on the position within the tree structure, you will have access to different command options. Once in a given configuration branch, you may enter the system level configuration commands that apply to that particular level. In addition, the command prompt changes to reflect the position within the tree structure to assists with navigation. This allows for easy reference within the tree structure when in configuration mode.
To start Telnet from Windows: 1 Click the Windows Start button.

TIP It is recommended that only users familiar with the CLI format use the Command Line Interface.
2 Click Run. 3 In the Open box, type: telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (the IP address of the iPlex Management Port you are connecting to) 4 Click OK. 5 At the login prompt enter the user name, at the next prompt enter the password.
iPlex will respond Welcome to TANDBERG Television iPlex. It will also include the software version and date. The next prompt will display [root@iplex] or <username@host name>. To list the available commands, at the prompt type a question mark (?) and press Enter. Typing ? at the prompt displays the following top-level commands: show, reset, config, copy, delete, upload, clear, reboot, set, shell, syncfs, and upgrade. Typing exit at a prompt returns you to next higher level in the command tree.

NOTE The root user has full access to all commands. The user groups administrator and operator have limited access. If access is denied after entering a command, make sure the login was for root user and try again.
Additional Connection Method

In case of failure of the management network, it may be desirable to connect a modem to the iPlex console port on the SCM blade to dial into the console port of a remote iPlex. For example, one could use a iPlex to provide video-over-IP services to a small community installed on an unmanned local head end connected to the Network Operations Center (NOC) through a T1 line for management. If the T1 line fails, the NOC will lose connectivity to the iPlex and could use the modem to reach its control console.
AT command set A series of machine instructions used to activate features on an intelligent modem. Developed by Hayes Microcomputer Products and officially known as the Hayes Standard AT Command Set, it is used entirely or partially by most every modem manufacturer. AT is a mnemonic code for ATtention, which is the prefix that initiates each command to the modem.
As part of its boot process, the iPlex sends modem configuration commands to set up an external modem connected to its control console port. These configuration commands will work with most common external modems that support the AT command set. It is also possible to connect a modem after booting the iPlex. However, in this case you must pre-configure the modem prior to connection, as follows:

Baud rate 9600 No command echo No online echo No result codes (quiet mode) Fixed DTE speed Disable transmit and receive flow control Ignore RTS and DTR Auto-answer in the first ring
The sequence of commands sent by the iPlex to the modem on boot time is as follows: ATZ AT E0 F1 M1 Q1 X0 AT &B1 &H0 &I0 &R1 AT &C1 &D0 &S0 AT S0=1

Interface Naming Convention

There are two port types in iPlex: physical and logical. The discovery of physical ports occurs as part of initial submodule discovery; the user creates logical ports. The naming convention for physical ports (submodules) is as follows: PortTypeSlotNumber/UnitNumber. The logical ports naming convention is: PortTypeSlotNumber/NumberUsed.
UnitNumber and NumberUsed

In physical ports, the unit number starts with 0. Each submodule slot on an MCM contains two unit numbers with a range from 0 to 15. In logical ports, the user assigns the number and has no range.
MCM Example
You may, for instance, have one ASI input, an Encoder, an ATM, and ASI output. Since each ASI submodule has two ports, you have two available interfaces; however, encoders and ATM submodules have only one interface per submodule. The following names for this blade would be as follows: ASIIn1/0 and ASIIn1/1, ENC1/2, ATM1/4, ASIOut1/6 and ASIOut1/7. The ASI input port creates a SMD (TANDBERG Television MPE Decapsulation) interface. The SMD interface associated with ASIIn1/0 will be smd1/0 and the ASIIn1/1 will be smd1/1. The ASI output creates a SME (TANDBERG Television MPE Encapsulation) interface. The SME interface attached to ASIOut1/6 will be sme1/6 and the ASIOut1/7 will be sme1/7. If you are looking directly at the rear view of an iPlex, the port assignment starting from lowest port number to highest goes as illustrated below: 1 7,6 1 15,14 2 5,4 2 13,12 3 3,2 3 11,10 4 1,0 4 9,8
While the cards locations (slots) for both rows are numbered from left to right 1, 2, 3, and 4, the port numbers in the top row run from 7 and 6 on the left down to 1 and 0 on the right. Then in the bottom row, they go from 15 and 14 on the left down to 9 and 8 on the right. Additionally, the user can create UDP logical output port with unit number 0, and receive the name UDPOut1/0. Logical ports include: UDPIn/Out, RTPIn/Out, FileIn, and TCPIn.
SCM Example
Each iPlex has two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces: GE1 and GE2.

CLI Tree
The diagram below is a visual representation of the CLI command levels. For the two main commands show and config. For detailed information, see Show Commands on page 25 and Config Commands on page 40.
Backing Up the Configuration File

NOTE Before making any changes to your system, TANDBERG Television recommends that you save the current state of your system by copying the currently running configuration file to a backup file (you choose the name of the file) in order to be able to go back to the current configuration should you ever need to do so. See copy on page 21 for the procedure on how to do this. After you change your system and are confident everything is working correctly, TANDBERG Television recommends that you copy the configuration file at that point to the startup file in order to have a known starting point should the system ever have to reboot. See copy on page 21 for the procedure on how to do this.

Config Commands
Navigation in config-mode
The CLI has a special configuration mode that allows you to configure individual subsystems. By typing config at the prompt, you will enter configuration mode. The prompt will then change to: [config#] To review what functions are available, enter a question mark (?). The following functions will display: system, redundancy, snmp-server, interface, ipRoutes, licenses, media-routes, custom-program-services, custom-element-services, program-details, and element-details. At the [config#] prompt, enter the next node you wish to access; for example, enter interface followed by a question mark to get a list of interfaces. Then enter interface and the <name of the interface> exactly as it appears in the list, (interface ASIIn1/4) followed by an opening brace ({), and at the prompt enter a question mark (?). This will display the parameters available to configure for that interface, the example below has already selected DVB as the input stream type therefore the two DVB tables are listed in the parameters available to configure.
[config#] interface ASIIn1/4 { [ASIIn1/4 config#] ? channelActive Identifier of active plug on particular a physical input description Extended Description of the Object inputStreamType Input transport stream format enableCatParsing Enable the parsing of MPEG-CAT table enableNitParsing Enable the parsing of DVB-NIT tables enableSdtParsing Enable the parsing of DVB-SDT tables
Deleting by using no
The product of certain commands and parameters can be deleted after configuration is completed by appending no to the command or parameter and running it again. This applies to several different parameters and commands where there is a key value or values to differentiate the item to be deleted.
[config#] no interface ASIIn1/4 Will delete interface ASIIn1/4
[system config#] no vlanSetup { [system config#] vlan Id 3 [system config#] } These three steps will delete VLAN ID 3
Configuration Values
Each configuration option has a command followed by a value. Following the above example, to select the input stream type for ASI In, at the prompt [ASIIn1/ 4 config#] you must enter the value in single quotes inputStreamType DVB to set the stream type value to DVB.
40
NOTE Enumerated values must be entered using single quotes. Integer values do not require single quotes. Check syntax for entering parameter values by typing the name of the parameter and a question mark (?). For example: [ASIIn1/4 config#] channelActive ? This will provide the choices and method for entering parameters. After configuration you must end with a closing brace (}) to apply the configuration. To cancel the configuration type exit before entering a close brace(}).
NOTE To return to the root prompt from [config#], type exit.
Key Values
Some configuration parameters must be entered in sequence for the values to be applied. When configuring an MPE route there are three key values that must be set the other values are optional.
[ipRoutes manualMpeRoute config#] ? network MPE route base IP address netmask MPE route netmask gateway MPE route gateway pid MPE route PID ipMappingMacAddress IP mapping MAC address macAddress MPE route destination MAC address discipline MPE route discipline name Key value Key value Key value

If the result indicates that another level exists, type the next level attribute followed by an opening brace ({). For example, at the prompt [ASIOut1/ 6 config#] type: autoSelectPidRange {. The prompt will change to [ASIOut1/6 autoSelectPidRange config#]. Then type a question mark (?). This will display the next level of attributes. If typing the attribute followed by a question mark provides a list of values, then type the attribute and parameters separated by a space. By using this method, you can find all attributes and their range of values and so configure the interface. For example, at the prompt [ASIOut1/6 autoSelectPidRange config#] type: minimumPidValue 1000. Remember to exit from the current level type a closing brace (}).

Configuration Scenarios Using CLI

In this chapter, you will go step-by-step through the operation of configuring the iPlex for typical operation scenarios; first using the Web GUI and second using CLI. Moreover, this chapter contains typical configuration issues in a Question and Answer format. NOTE The Web Interface User Guide has a similar chapter covering a wider range than just the scenarios discussed in this chapter. See Configuration Scenarios in the Web User Interface Guide. Menu commands appear in the following format: Main Menu item > Sub Menu item > and so forth. For example, Configuration > IP Routing> VLAN; that is, click Configuration from the main menu, then click IP Routing, which displays under Configuration, and finally click VLAN, which displays under IP Routing. The configuration scenario topics described in detail are as follows:

Scenario 1
Single Program Route from ASI In to UDP Out using CLI on page 68 Custom Program Route from ASI In to UDP Out Using CLI on page 71 Configuration Questions and Answers on page 74
Single Program Route from ASI In to UDP Out using CLI

The first configuration might be a setup for receiving a Transport Stream containing video information sent to an IP set-top box through the Gigabit Ethernet port as a channel for watching the video content. NOTE You can find this scenario in the Web Interface User Guide. See Scenario 1: Routing a Single Program from ASIIn to UDPOut on page 413.
VLAN (Virtual LAN) A logical subgroup within a local area network that is created via software rather than manually moving cables in the wiring closet. GE (Gigabit Ethernet) An Ethernet technology that raises transmission speed to 1 Gbps. It is used primarily for backbones. The first IEEE standard (802.3z) for Gigabit Ethernet defined its use over Multi-mode optical fiber providing full-duplex operation from switch to end station or to another switch and half-duplex using CSMA/CD in a shared environment.
Physical Setup
MCM: ASI In cable to ASI In port SCM: Fiber cable connected to Gigabit Ethernet [GE1] to the network switch, router or another iPlex.
STEPS 1 Create a VLANas a point of reference for the Gigabit Ethernet. 2 Configure ASI In port. 3 Check ASI In statistics. 4 Create a UDP Out port.
68
5 Configure Media Routingto direct the program from ASI In to UDP Out. 6 Check port statistics. 7 Select channel at IP set-top boxand view video content. To Route a Single Program from ASI In to UDP Out:
You can also route media using the command line interface. The following example shows how to route and create a UDPOut port, configure ASIIn port, and route a program to output interfaces. In this example, the MCM blade is in slot 1 with ASI Input submodule in slot 4. All the user inputs are in bold italics.
Routing Media to UDP Out Interface
1 Enter configuration mode using the command config.

[root@iPlex] config
Create a VLAN, assign it IP address 172.30.1.1, and add GE port 1 and port 2 to this vlan.
NOTE When configuring a VLAN there are seven key value parameters that must be set.
[config#] system { [system config#] vlanSetup { [system vlanSetup config#] vlanId 2 [system vlanSetup config#] ipAddress 172.30.1.1 [system vlanSetup config#] subnetMask 255.255.255.0 [system vlanSetup config#] ge1 Tagged [system vlanSetup config#] ge2 Untagged [system vlanSetup config#] } [system config#] } [config#]
2 Create UDP Out interface and assign destination IP address, port number and vlan.
TIP Remember to type single quotes () where indicated.
[config#]interface UDPOut1/0 ASIIn1/6 { [UDPOut17/4 config#] ipDestination { [UDPOut17/4 ipDestination config#] destinationIpAddress 224.1.1.1 [UDPOut17/4 ipDestination config#] portNumber 2000 [UDPOut17/4 ipDestination config#] vlanName vlan_2 [UDPOut17/4 ipDestination config#] } [UDPOut17/4 config#] } [config #]

ASI (Asynchronous Serial Interface) One of DVBs physical interfaces used for transmitting MPEG-2 Transport Streams. GI (General Instruments) refers to DigiCipher II (DCII): a proprietary MPEG-2 based distribution system developed originally by General Instruments prior to the completion of the DVB standard. Used by most cable channels in North America, it has a major presence in cable head-ends and is widely used in satellite turnaround applications via Headend In The Sky (HITS) systems.
3 Configure ASI Input interface, set the input stream type to DVB, and enable SDT/NIT parsing on this input interface.
[config#]interface ASIIn1/4 { [ASIIn17/4 config#] inputStreamType 'DVB' [ASIIn17/4 config#] enableSdtParsing true [ASIIn17/4 config#] enableNitParsing true [ASIIn17/4 config#] } [config#]
4 Exit the configuration mode and see the programs available on the input interface using command show program ASIIn1/4.
[config#] exit [root@iPlex] show program ASIIn1/6 Total 3programs on interface ASIIn1/6 Program PMT PCR Service Service Service Number PID PID Name Provider Type 150 0xFBC 0xFBC EURONEWS DIGITAL TELEVISION 1 151 0xFBC 0xFBC EURONEWS ADDITIONAL AUDIO 1 152 0xFBB 0xFBB ALMANAR DIGITAL TELEVISION 1

5 Now lets route program number 152 (ALMANAR) to UDPOut interface, enter configuration mode, and route the media using media-route command.
[root@iPlex] config [config#] media-routes { [media-routes config#] programRoute { [media-routes programRoute config#] inputPort 'ASIIn1/6' [media-routes programRoute config#] outputPort 'UDPOut1/0' [media-routes programRoute config#] inputProgram 152 [media-routes programRoute config#] outputProgram 152 [media-routes programRoute config#] programAutoFix 'false' [media-routes programRoute config#] outputPmtPid 0x21 [media-routes programRoute config#] pmtAutoFix 'false' [media-routes programRoute config#] } [media-routes config#] } [config#] exit
6 You can verify the routed content by using show program and show stats commands for UDPOut1/4 interface.

Scenario 2
Custom Program Route from ASI In to UDP Out Using CLI

The second configuration might have a non-compliant stream from the encoder that lacks tables, or you may just want to change SDT information, the program number or the PID value. The iPlex can compensate for the non-compliant stream as long as the operator knows which kind of stream is in each PID. Given this information, the iPlex can generate the tables and add them to the stream. Additionally, the iPlex can modify existing values within the stream, such as a program number. In this example, we will assume an encoder connected to ASIIn1/6 with MPEG-2 video on PID 0x20, MPEG-2 audio on PID 0x21, and PCRs in the video PID. NOTE You can also find this scenario in the Web Interface User Guide. See Scenario 2: Routing a Custom Program from ASIIn to UDPOut on page 419.
Physical Setup
MCM: ASI In cable to ASI In port from an external Encoder or a demodulator. SCM: Fiber cable connected to Gigabit Ethernet [GE1] to the network switch, router or another iPlex.
STEPS 1 Create a UDP Out port. 2 Configure Media Routingto create tables and route the stream.

Program Creation. Add a Video Element. Add an Audio Element. Route the Stream.
3 Check UDP Out port statistics. 4 Select channel at IP set-top box. To Route a Custom Program from ASI In to UDP Out:
You can also route media using the command line interface. The following example shows how to route and create a UDPOut port, configure ASIIn port, and route a program to output interfaces. In this example, the MCM blade is in slot 1 with ASI Input submodule in slot 4. All the user inputs are in bold italics.

Configuration Questions and Answers

The following section covers some of the configuration issues you may encounter while setting up the iPlex.
Topic 1: UDPOut Settings

Question Answer
Why are some UDPOut ports restricted to transmitting content from only one input port? There are three kinds of UDPOut ports:
1 Ports that transmit over the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface(s) 2 Ports that transmit over the ATM interface(s) 3 Ports that transmit over the SME interface(s)
Gigabit Ethernet Ports can only transmit programs from a single input, defined at the time of the ports creation. This is done to optimize chassis resources. Ports that transmit over ATM or SME have no such limitations. If you need to create a network port over Gigabit Ethernet to transmit a multi-program transport stream with elements from multiple inputs, you can use a backhaul port, which does not have the same limitation as the UDPOut port. NOTE Be sure to create backhaul port on the blade on which are most of the desired programs.
Question Answer
What is the meaning of the IP address entered in the UDPOut port. The IP address you enter in the UDPOut port is the IP destination address of the streamthat is the address you send the streams to. This can be a unicast address or a multicast address. What is the relationship between output ports and input ports/blades? Input and output streams have associated ports. The ports may be either physical ports; that is, ASI Input or Output ports, or logical ports that you create, such as UDP or RTP ports. Ports exist in the chassis blades. For physical ports, the blade is where the port is physically present; for logical ports, you must choose the blade based on the following criteria:
Question Answer
If you want to create an UDP out port that streams over ATM, then you have to create it on the blade that has the relevant ATM submodule. The same applies for an UDPIn port that receives from ATM. If you want to create an UDP out port that streams out on Gigabit Ethernet, then you must create it in the blade that has the content that you want to route.
74
If you want to create an UDP in port that receives from Gigabit Ethernet, you can create it in any arbitrary blade, although TANDBERG Television recommends that you create it on the blade where you will route most of the outputs.
Question Answer
Can the UDPIn port accept streams from multiple resources? No. Each UDPIn port can only accept a single stream (single or multiple programs). If you want to support multiple programs, just create multiple UDPIn ports. How is channel selection made on input streams from server? What characterizes each UDPIn is a UDP port number and possibly by a multicast IP address, if you are using multicast. You need to configure the UDP In ports to match what the server is doing. For example, if your server has two streams out, one on 225.1.1.1, port 2001, and another on 225.1.1.2, port 2002, you create the two UDPIn ports with these parameters, and you have a one-to-one connection between the ports and the content.
Question
Answer
Topic 2: iPlex IP Settings

Question Answer
Can iPlex work as a switch between VLAN ports? Yes. The iPlex has full VLAN capability on the GE ports. The way it works is as follows: you can group an arbitrary subset of the GE ports into a VLAN. Then you assign an IP address to this VLAN. Logically, it works like this:
You must go to the Configuration/IP Routing/VLAN menu, create a new VLAN, select which physical GE ports will be in this VLAN, and assign it an IP address/ port. The iPlex will respond to that address on any of the selected ports, and will provide a traditional transparent bridge for unicast traffic. iPlex will not forward multicast traffic between VLAN ports. The only exception is Spanning Tree BPDUs, which are automatically forwarded.
75
Also note that, in the UDPOut configuration window, you can select into which VLAN that particular traffic will egress. If the VLAN has multiple members and the UDPOut has a multicast destination IP address, by default, the packets will egress on all ports, but you can change that in the Configuration/IP Routing/Multicast window.
Question Answer
Do the control ports and GE ports need to be on different networks? Yes, they do. This means that you cannot have a streaming client in the same machine that you are using for control, unless that machine has multiple Ethernets to the different LANs.
