SR1 Hardware Interfaces
The SR1 has the following interfaces:
Two RF front ends
GigE interface
100BaseT management Interface
Serial over USB Management Interface.
The SR1 can be operated with a single demodulator or with dual demodulators.
When the second Demodulator is in use, both Demodulators are limited to DVB-S2 8PSK CCM
30Msps. The configuration of demodulator operation mode is supported in the terminal menu
and SNMP.
2.2
Internal GigE Switch
The SR1 architecture is based on an internal GigE switch. The switch has the following ports:
Traffic: GigE port
MGMT: Fast Port
Internal CPU: RMII connection
Internal FPGA: RGMII connection
Application CPU: GigE interface for an optional dedicated applications CPU
The use of the internal switch simplifies installations where the return channel is a Local
Wireless Loop or a Satellite TX device.
In network where full isolation of the management and traffic is needed, the SR1 can be set to
Isolate mode that disable the internal switching between management and traffic.

2.3
Application CPU
The SR1 supports an option for the Application CPU. The Application CPU is a daughter board
that can be added to the SR1.
The Application CPU has a GigE interface to the internal switch.
The CPU can be selected according to the application requirement.
2.4
ASI
The SR1 supports an option for single ASI input and ASI output.
The ASI interfaces are connected directly to the FPGA that process all the Transport streams
and GigE traffic.
The ASI interface is optional.

4.1
SR1 Integration in Satellite over IP Networks
The SR1 is designed to be integrated into IP over satellite network topologies as described in
Figure 1. The Satellite dish (with LNB to receive the signal), and the IP router (which enables
the SR1 to forward the IP packets) are common to all the systems. Figure 1 demonstrates a
general installation scenario of the SR1.
Figure 1 Typical SR1 Installation
The SR1 integration process is described as follows:
The SR1 RF input is connected to the LNB on the satellite dish. SR1 provides the LNB with the
appropriate power and control and receives the DVB-S/S2 signal in L-Band.
The only parameter the operator requires to configure is the RF L-band frequency. The SR1
automatically detects all other parameters.
For a symbol rate below 1 Msps or for modulations higher then 8PSK, a manual configuration
of the symbol rate may be required.
The automatic channel parameters detection enables the operator to change the MODCOD of
the link without the requiring to re-configure the receiver.
The SR1 supports two RF inputs and can be operated either as single demodulator with two RF
inputs or dual demodulators.
The selection between the two Rx channels and the Rx configuration profiles can be performed
manually or automatically.
All the Unicast IP packets that the SR1 extracts from the satellite signal are forwarded to the
router. The SR1 does not support routing functionality what’s so ever.
The IP address of the default router is configured manually. The SR1 uses ARP to find the
MAC address of the router.
The IP address of the default router is not required to be on same subnet as the Traffic
interface of the SR1. The Default router must replies to the ARP request of the SR1.
SR1 supports internal ARP table of 16 entries, making it capable of serving a LAN without a
router. When an MPE section has a destination IP address different to the default router, the
SR1 will initiate an ARP request to learn the MAC address. If a reply is received the SR1 will
keep the match in its internal ARP table. If the table reaches the 17
th
, address, the oldest
entry will be overridden.
In SR1 uses the ARP table IP address and the ARP table IP mask to determine if an incoming
packet is in its subnet and implement the ARP mechanism. If the packet is not in the SR1

Advanced DVB-S2 Receiver Operational Manual
SR1 Specifications
10
subnet, it will be forwarded to the default gateway. By default the SR1 ARP table IP address
is set to the Default Router IP
Multicast traffic received is forwarded directly to the Traffic LAN and is blocked from the
Management LAN
The SR1 supports three management interfaces, as follows:
100BaseT interface using Telnet
100BaseT interface using SNMP.
Serial over USB interface with a text based terminal application.
Note
Both Traffic and management ports of the SR1 are connected to the internal switch. Connecting both
of them to an external switch may cause issues with functionality of both switches
4.2
SR1 Block Diagram
The SR1 Block Diagram is illustrated in Figure 2 SR1 Block Diagram
Figure 2 SR1 Block Diagram
The SR1 structure includes the following parts:
Tuner 1 and 2: Full L-Band RF front end with LNB powering and control. When SR1 operates
with a single demodulator, both tuners are assigned to the demodulator and the tuners act in
redundant mode. When using the SR1 in dual demodulator mode each demodulator has a
single tuner.
DVB-S2 Demodulator: The demodulator can be configured to a single demodulator (with the
support of up to 32APSK 45 MSPS VCM/ACM) or dual demodulator (with support of 8PCK
CCM 30Msps).
De-Capsulation: The De-Capsulation block extracts the IP/Ethernet packets from the
Transport stream (in MPE mode) or the Base Band Frames (in GSE mode). When SR1
operates with a single demodulator, all 8 De-Capsulation filters are assigned to the single
demodulator. When the SR1 operates in dual demodulator mode four filters are assigned to
each demodulator.

Advanced DVB-S2 Receiver Operational Manual
SR1 Specifications
11
Management CPU: The management CPU implements the control of the board and the user
interface.
Application CPU: The application CPU is an optional CPU (added ad daughter board) that has
a GigE connection to the switch.
GigE Switch: The backbone of the SR1 is an internal managed GigE switch. The Internal
switch is managed (QoS, VLAN etc).
4.3
SR1 Receivers Management
The SR1 receiver consists of three components. The RF inputs, the Demodulator and the De-
capsulation filters.
The SR1 supports two modes for operating the receivers ( RX channels):
Single Demodulator: The two RF inputs are connected to a single demodulator. All the eight
De-Capsulation filters are connected to the single demodulator
Dual Demodulator: Each RF is in use by one of the demodulators. 4 de capsulation filters are
connected to the first demodulator and 4 to the second
For each receiver, the SR1 supports two configuration profiles. The configuration profile
includes the RF parameters (L-Band frequency and LNB control), the demodulator
parameters and the de-capsulation filters configuration.
The operator uses the SR1 in the following modes:
Single Demodulator with a Round Robin rotation between the Two RF Inputs and between the
Two Configuration Profiles of each. RF1 (Profile1) -> RF1 (Profile2) -> RF2 (Profile1) -> RF2
(Profile2) -> RF1 (Profile1):
The SR1 rotates between the states until it locks on a valid signal.
The time out for each state is configurable.
The two RF inputs can be connected to two different LNBs on to different antennas.
The lock criteria is RF lock and does not validate the data.
Single Demodulator with One RF Input and Two Profiles. The SR1 will switch to the second
profile the moment it loses the lock on the first one
Dual Demodulator, each with a Single RF with two profiles.
Single RF input with single profile and single demodulator
4.4
SR1 Packets forwarding
The SR1 forwards IP packets received from the satellite link, into the local LAN over the Traffic
interface.
When a destination MAC address of an MPE section matches the MAC address in one of the
SR1 Filters (after passing the PID stage) the IP part is encapsulated into a Ethernet packet
and sent to the internal switch

SR1 SNMP MIB
The SR1 SNMP MIB provides the operator an interface to configure the device, monitor it and receive
alerts (traps) on specific events. For further details on the MIB refer to Chapter 16, SNMP MIB
For the SNMP MIB of the SR1 please contact info@ayecka.com.
on page 73.
The MIB is comprised of the following sections:
Configuration of the RX channels including the RF and MPE parts.
A Network enabling the operator to control IP address acquisition mode (static or DHCP), Read
MAC address and more.
A system enabling the operator to reboot the device, initiate the SW upgrade, perform a FPGA
upgrade, read serial numbers and more.
Traffic counters – The SR1 MIB support traffic counters for two interfaces – FPGA and
