The following is a detailed list of the information found on these pages.

6.1.1 Fields prior to ST02.05.05 no longer present

Edit – Clicking the Tune hyperlink is the method by which you access the “Channel Tune”

interface of the COM24 cards (covered in Section 6.8.1). Each tuner in the system is

independently controllable (two per card). (Field removed in ST02.05.05.)

CardIP – This field shows the IP address of the COM24 card that resides in the chassis and slot

combination to its left. (Field removed in ST02.05.05.)

6.1.2 Fields present after ST02.05.05

Chassis – This field reports a unique identifier for the chassis. In systems that contain multiple

chassis, this can be used to identify each card in the system. See Section 4.1 on how to assign

unique identifiers to multiple chassis within a system.

Slot – This field identifies the card‟s location within a chassis, numbered 1 through 12. If this

field is grey, the slot number is a link to messages in the CAM Log.

Tuner – There are two entries per CardIP for this column. This represents the two tuners

available on each COM24 card. Version ST02.05.05 changed the tuner numbers to start at one

instead of zero to match the card‟s faceplate.

QAM or IPAddress – Prior to SW version ST02.05.05, this column header was “IPAddress.” In

SW version ST02.05.05 and later, if some of the programs are streaming to a QAM24, then

“QAM” is displayed as the column header. If all signals are routed out of the system, then

“IPAddress” will display as the column header instead. In SW version ST02.05.05 or later, if the

card is sending video to a QAM24, this field shows the output QAM frequency and QAM sub-

channel number. If a card is streaming video to outside of the chassis, this field will contain the

destination IP address. Typically, this will be the IP address of an external edge QAM. Both

unicast and multicast addresses are supported. However, older COM200 Chassis (pseudo codes

BC004 and NC004) require that multicast streams be sent out the front port and an external

Ethernet switch be used. Newer COM200 chassis route multicast traffic only to the two gigabit

Ethernet ports (the QAM24 slot and slot 1).

Bitrate or Port – Prior to SW version ST02.05.05, this column header was “Port.” . In SW

version ST02.05.05 and later, if some of the programs are streaming to a QAM24, then “Bitrate”

is displayed as the column header. If all signals are routed out of the system, then “Port” will

display as the column header instead. In SW version ST02.05.05 or later, if the card is sending

video to a QAM24, this field shows the instantaneous bitrate of the channels being sent out of the

QAM24. Otherwise this field contains the destination port associated with the destination IP

address described above. You must have a unique port number for each individual channel you
