Administrator Login:
Password - A valid password is required to gain access to the administrative level on the Edje 3000. The password is a string of case-sensitive characters
Update User Profile:
Set Modify Administrator Password - A valid password is required to gain access to the administrative level on the Edje 3000. The password is a string of case-sensitive characters
Confirm Administrator Password - Confirmation of the modified password that must be entered exactly as in the Set Modify Administrator Password field
Host
Status and Configuration:
MAC Address - A six-byte Media Access Control (MAC) address assigned to the Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) port. The MAC Address is the serial number for the Edje 3000. This field is set in the factory and cannot be modified in the field
Unit Name - Character string given to the Edje 3000 for IP Logging and command and control purposes
DHCP - Status of Dynamic Host Control Protocol for dynamically obtaining an IP Address on a network that has a DHCP server. DHCP is enabled if "YES" and disabled if "NO" is selected
IP Address - IP Address assigned by the installer or dynamically obtained from a DHCP server. The IP address is a four-digit decimally delimited address such as 192.168.1.5
Subnet Mask - Subnet Mask assigned by the installer or dynamically obtained from a DHCP server. The Subnet Mask is a four-digit decimally delimited mask that determines the local IP address range such as 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway - Default Gateway assigned by the installer or dynamically obtained from a DHCP server. The Default Gateway is a local router assigned to the local subnet to allow communications outside the local subnet. The Default Gateway is used in conjunction with the Subnet Mask to reach IP addresses outside the local subnet. The Default Gateway must be a device that is within the local subnet. For example, if the IP address of the Edje 3000 is 192.168.1.5 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, a valid Default Gateway could be 192.168.1.254
IP Logging Enabled - Status of IP Logging Yes or No. If IP Logging is Yes, then the IP Logging Host must be a valid IP address and IP logs will be attempted to be sent to the configured IP address. If IP Logging is No, then no logs will be sent to an outside logging device
IP Logging Host - IP Address of a valid IP Logging host, either locally or on a remote network that can be reached by the Default Gateway. The IP Logging IP Address is a four-digit decimally delimited address such as 192.168.1.2
Inputs
Input Status:
Input - Physical ASI input on the Edje 3000
State - Displays whether the port is logically: Active, No Sync, or Disabled.
Active - indicates the port is in Sync and is receiving table information
No Sync. - indicates the port is configured, but not receiving a valid input
Disabled - indicates the port is logically disabled
Format - Displays whether the port is: 188, 204, or Not Applicable (N/A)
188 indicates the port is operating in 188 byte MPEG 2 mode
204 indicates the port is operating in 204 byte MPEG 2 mode.

Fill Rate - Displays input rate of MPEG 2 fill in Mbps. Valid input rates are 0.0 Mbps to 50.0 Mbps
Total Rate - Displays the "measured" input rate in Mbps. Valid input rates are 0.5 Mbps to 50.0 Mbps
InPut Configuration:
Input:
Mode - The configuration of the input port as Auto, Manual, or Disable:
Auto mode allows to port to introduce incoming content to the multiplexor where it is aggregated into a single output stream
Manual mode allows the operator to add or drop content coming into the Edje 3000
Disable mode logically deactivates the port so it cannot be used

Program Name - Displays the available program names being received on the input
Outputs
Status:
Port - Displays the configuration of the output port as either ASI or SMPTE-310M
Rate - Displays the configured output rate of the output port. For ASI, the valid settings are 500,000 to 71,500,000 bits per second. For SMPTE-310M the output rate is set to 19,392,658.46 bps. In SMPTE-310M mode the ASI port is operational, but is fixed to 19,392,658.46 bps
Configuration:
The valid output configuration formats are:
SMPTE-310M:
The output will be available on both the SMPTE-310M and ASI ports at 19,392,658.46 bps
ASI:
Format - Output frame format as 188- or 204-byte mode:
- 188-byte mode outputs only 188-byte MPEG 2 frames on the Edje 3000 output
- 204-byte mode outputs only 204-byte MPEG 2 frames on the Edje 3000 output
Modulation Target - Provides a user-friendly way to set up the Edje 3000 output port for operation for cable and satellite in a modulated format. The configuration sets up the output port automatically and take into consideration the egress format (188- or 204-byte mode).
QAM64 NTSC 188
- 188-byte mode - egress rate is 5,056,900 bps
- 204-byte mode - egress rate is 4,660,400 bps
QAM256 NTSC
- 188-byte mode - egress rate is 5,360,530 bps

QPSK
Viterbi - User must select a valid rate as 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8 coding.
Symbol Rate - 0 symbols per second to 45,000,000 symbols per second
Calculation is done as follows:
- 188-byte mode - Bit Rate = Symbol Rate * (2 * Viterbi * 188/204)
- 204-byte mode - Bit Rate = Symbol Rate * (2 * Viterbi * 204/204)
Manual Rate - If the user does not wish to take advantage of the user-friendly configuration tool, then the output rate can be manually set. The valid range is 500,000 bps to 71,500,000 bps
Tables
Service tables provide information about incoming content into the Edje-3000. Through the use of tables, Single Program Transport Streams (SPTS) content can be aggregated into a single Multi-Program Transport Stream (MPTS) and announced to downstream devices in a dynamic fashion.
Three types of tables are supported by the Edje-3000:
- MPEG 2 - PSI
- DVB - SI
- ATSC - PSIP
- DCII - Future
Program Stream Information (PSI) - PSI is the MPEG 2 table information and is comprised of the Program Allocation Table (PAT), Conditional Access Table (CAT), and the Program Mapping Table (PMT).
PAT:
Rate - How often the PAT is sent by the Edje-3000. The default rate is 0.4 seconds
Transport Stream ID -Transport ID assigned to the PAT. The default Transport Stream ID is 1
Network ID - Network ID assigned to the PAT. The default Network ID is 1
CAT - Future
PMT:
Rate - How often the PMT is sent by the Edje-3000. The default rate is 0.4 seconds
Base PID - The first PID value assigned when performing PID remapping of PIDs from the input port to the output port. Valid Base PID is 20 (Hex) to 1FFE (Hex). The default Base PID is 20.
Service Information (SI) - SI is the DVB table information and is comprised of the Network Information Table (NIT), Service Description Table (SDT), Time and Date Table (TDT), Event Information Table (EIT).
NIT - Enable/Disable
Rate - How often the NIT is sent by the Edje-3000. The default rate is 5 seconds
Name - Network Name announced by the NIT. The default is name is blank
Network ID - Network ID to be announced in the NIT. The Default Network ID is 1
Frequency - The RF frequency of the carrier the Edje-3000 is supporting. The frequency announced in the NIT allows Set Top Boxes to dynamically determine information about the carrier supporting the network. The default frequency is blank.
Symbol Rate - The symbol rate of the carrier the Edje-3000 is supporting. The symbol rate announced in the NIT allows Set Top Boxes to dynamically determine information about the carrier supporting the network. The default symbol rate is blank.
Modulation Type - The modulation type of the carrier the Edje-3000 is supporting. The modulation type announced in the NIT allows Set Top Boxes to dynamically determine information about the carrier supporting the network. The default modulation type is blank.
SDT - Enable/Disable
Rate - How often the SDT is sent by the Edje-3000. The default rate is 5 seconds
TDT - Enable/Disable
Rate - How often the TDT is sent by the Edje-3000. The default rate is 10 seconds
EIT - Pass/Disable/Local
Rate - How often the EIT is sent by the Edje-3000. The default rate is 1.5 seconds
Program Specific Information Protocol (PSIP) - PSIP is the ATSC table information that is comprised of the Virtual Channel Table (VCT), Master Guide Table (MGT), Rating Region Table (RRT), System Time Table (STT), and Event Information Table (EIT). The Edje-3000 provides support for Static PSIP.
ATSC Tables - Enable/Disable

Primary Language Code - Provides a configuration facility to specify the language begin supported by the Edje-3000. The default is ENG for English
Secondary Language Code - Provides a configuration facility to specify the secondary language begin supported by the Edje-3000. The default is SPA for Spanish

EIT (1 - 4)
Rate - How often the TDT is sent by the Edje-3000. The default rate is 0.7 seconds. For PSIP, the EIT tables are empty, since the implementation of PSIP is static
CA
This is a future feature.
