MPEG-2 Configuration The following information represents guidelines for product configuration limitations, with regard to specific unit types. When configuring VBrick units, close attention must be paid to the total transport rate of all sources both entering and exiting the unit. In most cases the sum of all entering and exiting MPEG-2 data traffic should be closely monitored and kept to a minimum whenever possible. Once a configuration is decided upon and applied to the unit, the user ca

MPEG-2 Configuration Network DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol – (Enable, Disable). On Ethernet models, if DHCP is enabled, the VBrick gets its IP Address or Network Timer Server and Subnet Mask from the DHCP server. If the DHCP server supplies the Gateway Address or DNS server address, these parameters will replace the user entered Gateway and DNS Time Server settings. If DHCP is enabled and the VBrick cannot obtain an IP address from the server, the VBrick will start in limited r

Gateway IP Address Valid gateway IP Address for communicating across distinct network segments. A valid gateway IP address is essential even though the VBrick will operate without one in some cases. When no gateway is configured, the VBrick may be unable to communicate with off-net IP hosts, for example, a foreign host which is used for configuration management via IWS. VBrick Host Name The Host Name defaults to the Media Access Control (MAC) address, a hardware address that uniquely ident

MPEG-2 Configuration Maximum Transmission Range 1024–1500 (default = 1500). The MTU is used for all Unit Size network traffic from the VBrick and defines the largest network packet size that will be transmitted. A higher MTU brings higher bandwidth efficiency and VBrick recommends using the default. However you may wish to reduce MTU size to meet the requirements of some networks with VPN or other security tunnels that cannot tolerate 1500-byte packets. Note that MPEG-2 video playback on

Routing Method This selects which routing method will be used: Changes made to the Routing Method will require a reset of the box. • Static – Allows routes entered in the static routing table to be automatically applied to the internal routing tables, after a power- up. • RIP Version 1 – Configures the VBrick to listen to RIP announcements. Routes are dynamically added per RIP specification. • RIP Version 2 Broadcast – Configures the VBrick to listen to RIP version 2 announcements. In this
