TSMIP-10GE Series
IP Transport Stream Monitor
Revision 1.0 Page-1
1. OVERVIEW
The TSM (Transport Stream Monitor) line of products is a complete software based solution for
compressed network monitoring. By monitoring the MPEG Transport Stream at strategic points within the
distribution network, in conjunction with the industry leading VistaLINK®PRO NMS (Network Management
System), the TSM-IP10GE offers service providers the tools to continuously and effectively have the
confidence that their IP signals within any IPTV, Satellite, terrestrial or cable network is being delivered
properly.
The TSM-IP 10GE can monitor up to 256 transport streams. It can monitor MPEG2 or H.264 content and
can in real time separate encoder errors from network delivery errors allowing the operator to act quickly
and avoid down time. The industry leading Evertz®VistaLINK®PRO NMS offers a new dimension to TS
monitoring by allowing a graphical customization of any measurement performed and a quick viewing of
the different points in the system. It makes the TSM probe system a valuable system in any operational
environment.

3. INSTALLATION OF TSMIP-10GE
Upon unpacking, the user should find:
1 x TSMIP-10GE
2 x Power cords contained in a plastic bag
2 x Mounting brackets contained in a plastic bag
Remove the power cords from their package and connect each one to one of the two black power cords
on the rear plate of the TSMIP. Then connect the other end of each power cord to a power source that
meets product requirements. Connecting to a power source should automatically power the device on.
If there was a problem, pressing the Power button manually should power on the unit.
3.1. CONFIGURE IP INTERFACES TO THE TSMIP
a. Connect RS 232 cable to the TSM and set 115200 bitrate. Login and password is “customer”.
Figure 3-1 : Configure IP Interfaces to the TSMIP
b. Type 1 to open Network Configuration menu.
c. Type 1 to open Control port menu.
d. Type 2 to set IP address.
e. Type 4 to set Gateway.
f. Type x to exit Control port menu.

g. Type x to exit Network Configuration menu.
h. Type x to exit and save configuration.
i. The same steps can be done for Data 1 (Data Main) and Data 2 (Data Redundant) interfaces
j. All other Data ports must be configured through VLPro
3.2. SET UP INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the CONTROL Ethernet ports on the rear panel and the other end to
an Ethernet switch. See Figure 3-2.
2. Connect Ethernet cables to desired ports and the other end to the Ethernet switch. User can
connect to 10GE ports.
Figure 3-2 : TSMIP-10GE Rear Panel
Control 1&2: These connectors allow the TSMIP to be able to communicate with the computer,
allowing for the user to control the TSM through the interface of choice.
Note: Control 2 is not used.
Data1: Data Port 1
Data2: Data Port 2
Data3: Data Port 3
Data4: Data Port 4
10GE-1 and 10GE-2: To access the 10GE Data port, connect a full duplex fiber cable to the
10GE1 and 10GE2 SFP ports on the rear panel. See specifications on the
SFP modules that need to be inserted before fiber connections can be
made.

3.3. CONNECTING DEVICE TO COMPUTER
a. Plug in a standard Ethernet cable (Cat 5e) from computer’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet
switch where the TSMIP is connected.
b. Power On the device.
c. On the computer screen, select “Start” in the bottom left corner. Then select “Control
Panel”. Search for the “Network and Sharing Center” icon and double click it. Double click
on “Change adapter settings”. Select “Local Area Connection” and click the “properties”
button. Following that, select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv4)” and click the “properties” button
again. Select the button labelled “Use the following IP address” and click “ok”. Enter in an
IP address that is on the same subnet as the TSMIP with the same subnet mask and
gateway.
d. Now check communication with the device. Select “Start” in the bottom left corner of the
computer screen. Then select “Run...” and in the space provided enter “cmd” followed by
clicking the “ok” button. In the command prompt type “ipconfig” and push the Enter key, this
will confirm the IP address has been set on your computer. Type in “ping” followed by the IP
address of the TSMIP and press the Enter key again; if the IP address replies then you are
connected. If “Request timed out” appears then there is a network problem.

4. VISTALINK®PRO CONFIGURATION
This chapter assumes that the VLPro server and VLPro client are already configured for your network and
you have basic knowledge of the VLPro interface. It also assumes that the user or network administrator
has already added the TSMIP-10GE jar file to the server and both the client and server applications have
been restarted. If you are the network administrator refer to section 5.1 for information on updating the
VLPro Server Jar File.
Open VLPro and click on the refresh tree icon. Expand the hardware tree by clicking on the “+” symbol.
The TSMIP-10GE should appear as a newly listed device with the IP address used to configure the card. It
may take up to a minute to appear while the card and switch negotiate network settings (this can be
verified directly on the switch if necessary).

Note: If after a couple of minutes the card has still not appeared, select Add
Agent from the Tree> Add/Update Agent menu. Enter the IP address used in the
configuration stage earlier and select OK. The card should now be listed and
will remain grayed out for a moment while VLPro finds the card and confirms its
configuration.
Please consult the network administrator if the user continue to have problems connecting the card with
VLPro, alternatively contact Evertz Microsystems Ltd. or the authorized reseller for technical support.
Under device IP (3480FR) there are three different types of menus:
•TSMIP Frame: This section is used for general settings like: Status, Ethernet Ports, and SNMP
Configuration etc.
•TSM General: This section is used for general settings like Card Status and Card Controls.
•TSM Input: This section is used for Input Configuration
.
