Dest_IP_Address – In this field, you will enter the IP address of the device you wish to stream

video content to (i.e. an edge QAM).

Dest_Port_Number – This field represents the port of the IP address you wish to stream video

to. Depending upon the destination, this value may not be freely chosen.

Major_Number – This field is equivalent to the DIRECTV channel number you tune to on a

typical DIRECTV tuner.

The second way is used if a QAM24 is in the chassis. The QAM major and minor numbers are

set along with the DIRECTV channel number. The IP address will be set to

192.168.6.(chassisId+1) and the port will be set the QAM_Index * 16 + QAM_subchannel.

QamMajor – The QAM24 output QAM major channel number. This corresponds to the

channel number from the North American Cable Television Frequency Plan (see EIA-542B or

http://www.jneuhaus.com/fccindex/cablech.html ).

QamMinor – The QAM24 output QAM minor channel number. This corresponds to the

subchannel number (e.g., 2 in the channel number 13.2 or 13-2 is the subchannel number).

Major_Number – This field is equivalent to the DIRECTV channel number you tune to on a

typical DIRECTV tuner.

Use the link Advanced Edit to access the Advanced Tune page (Figure 35) described below.

For software versions before ST02.05.05, by clicking the Tune hyperlink from the Edit

column on the old Discovery page, you will access the old Tune screen, which is similar

to the new Advanced Tune screen shown in Figure 35.

There are many different functions available under the heading of the Advanced Tune screen.

Each of these functions will be detailed in the subsections that follow.

6.8.1 Tuning the COM24 Cards

The Basic Tune page can be used to change the main tuning parameters of a channel. Additional

tune parameters can be accesses by clicking the Advanced Edit hyperlink at the bottom of the

Basic Tune screen (Figure 34), which brings one to the Advanced Tune screen (Figure 35). A

quicker method of executing a mass tune for any number of cards is available under the TuneAll

command (see Section 6.9).
