2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SIG7710 module receives a digital signal coming from a satellite antenna; it selects a series of pro-
grams within the transponder and sends them to the IP network. The resulting IP stream is sent in mul-
ticast mode to reduce the global IP traffic on the network because it is sent by the Ethernet switches
only to the customers that ask for it.
The signal on the IP is received and displayed by using an IP-Set Top Box or a PC.
Each single SIG7710 module can decode and incapsulate over IP up to 12 video satellite not-crypted
programs maximum; each one of them can be assigned to a single multicast IP address.
IMPORTANT: for the proper functioning of the module is required not to exceed
the 20Mbit/s maximum through output for each SIG7710 module (refer to the
MEASURE -> TOTAL BIT RATE menù on the TPE or WEB MANAGEMENT ->
PROGRAM LIST ->TOTAL BIT RATE on the WEB interface menù).
The device is equipped with the following:
2 input RF connectors (SAT IN – SAT OUT) for SAT IF connection, the SAT signal from the converter
LNB will be connected to the first of the 2 connectors;
Operation and signalization LED (see summarizing table);
1 RJ-45 connector (LAN 10/100 Base-T) by which it is possible to configure the module parameters
(i.e. Ethernet parameters, INPUT settings, OUTPUT settings) by an integrated web-browser inter-
face. After the configuration it’s possible to connect the module the LAN network.

5.3 SIG7710 WEB MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
After the preliminary programming by the TPE, the advanced programming will be carried out through
the means of the integrated SIG7710 WEB MANAGEMENT interface. (NOTE: WEB interface could
vary depending on the Firmware version loaded in the module).
The procedure is as follows:
1. From the properties of the PC local network card, modify the IP address, setting a new address
belonging to the same sub-network of the SIG7710 module address set. For example:
a. Parameter set in the streamer
i. IP: 192.168.1.1
ii. SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
b. Parameters to be set in the properties of the network card
i. IP: 192.168.1.2
ii. SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
2. Connect the PC to the module by means of a cross RJ-45 cable of CAT-5E;
3. Open the Internet browser (Recommended Browser Internet Explorer);
4. Enter the IP associated to the SIG7710 in the address bar; the following HOME PAGE is displayed.
Select the language for the WEB Interface (English, Français, Deutsch, Italian, Espanol, Portugues).
From this menu, the following options can be selected:
HOME --> Initial page of the integrated WEB configuration device;
INPUT --> Input parameters setting and measurement (frequency of the transponder, SAT polarity se-
lection, value of the Symbol rate, C/N and BER values reading, etc.);
PROGRAM LIST --> Display menu and setting menu for SAT programs sent to the network (program
list, definition of IP multicast groups, etc);
MULTICAST --> Setting of the MULTICAST groups;
NETWORK --> Setting of the module IP parameters;
PRESET --> Factory SAT programs settings;
REBOOT --> SIG7710 module restarting (the operation lasts about 15 seconds; during the restart op-
erations, all the LEDs on the front panel are off).
LOGOUT --> Command to exit the WEB Interface management interface.

38
ENGLISH
5. Enter the NETWORK menu to set/change the IP address, the SUBNET MASK, the WEB SERVER Port
and the DEFAULT GATEWAY previously associated to the streamer (SIG7710). From the module, it is
possible to enable or disable the DHCP function (automatic assignment of the IP address from the net-
work). By default, this option is disabled.
WARNING: not use the HTTP port already occupied by some others software process running.
NOTE – For SIG7710 settings it will be necessary to login once by using Username and Password
(default setting -->
Username --> admin,
Password --> stream_77 ).
After setting all the parameters, confirm them with the SAVE command. Reset an IP address belonging
to the same sub-network in the network card of the local PC that is used for programming.
6 Enter the INPUT menu for the settings relevant to the satellite transponder selections (to modify
the settings for the first time, it is necessary for the user to carry out the authentication by
entering
Username --> admin,
Password --> stream_77 ).
NOTE: from this menu, all the parameters relevant to the selection of the satellite transponder can be set.
In the same picture is present the Status of the Tuner (locked/unlocked) and are displayed BER and
S/N measures.

39
ENGLISH
From this menu, the following options can be selected:
FREQUENCY IF --> 1.a IF frequency setting of the chosen transponder;
LNB --> Selection of the polarity/band satellite parameters;
DiSEqC --> Selection of the orbital position;
Symbol Rate --> Setting the Symbol Rate of the chosen transponder;
After setting all parameters, confirm them with the SAVE control. After about 10 seconds from the PRO-
GRAM LIST menu, it is possible to display all the programs contained in the selected transponder.
7. Enter the MULTICAST menu to define and set all parameters relevant to the MULTICAST groups.
After setting the parameters, confirm them with the SAVE control.

40
ENGLISH
From this menu, the following options can be selected:
Multicast IP --> IP Multicast address settings;
Multicast Port --> setting the port to be used for Multicasting, WARNING: if the RTP option is enabled
port Multicast can only assume equal value between 1024 and 65534. If RTP is disabled if the port
Multicast can take any value between 1024 and 65534.
RTP Layer --> enabling/disabling the Real Time Protocol used in the distribution of the Audio/Video
contents on IP (disable for default);
Enable --> Enabling/disabling the Multicast group;
WARNING: the IP addresses selected for multicasting must be chosen within the 224.0.1.1 -->
239.255.255.255 range. To set addresses and Multicast ports correctly, see the RFC regulations and
the network administrator where the SIG7710 module will be inserted.
8. Re-enter the PROGRAM LIST menu to “send” the video/audio program to the chosen multicast
group according to the following indications:

41
ENGLISH
a. From the “Properties” column, select the “Modify” control to associate the program to the chosen
Multicast group (by default, all programs are associated to the same Multicast group – Group 1);
after setting all parameters, confirm them with the SAVE control.
b. Repeat the operation for each program to be sent to the network, making sure to associate a differ-
ent multicast group for each program;
c. To activate the program in Multicasting transmission, select the “send” control (the program status
will turn from “send” into “stop” and the bit/rate associated to the program will change from 0Kbit/s
to the typical bit/rate value associated to the program – see the following image):
IMPORTANT: for the proper functioning of the module is required not to exceed
the 20Mbit/s maximum through output for each SIG7710 module (refer to the
MEASURE -> TOTAL BIT RATE menù on the TPE or WEB MANAGEMENT ->
PROGRAM LIST ->TOTAL BIT RATE on the WEB interface menù).

42
ENGLISH
d. Repeat the operation for each program that you want to activate on the network.
9. Repeat all the programming operations for all the SIG7710 modules that will make up the headend.
After programming, all streamers can be connected to the main network (refer to the following CON-
NECTION OF THE SIG7710 MODULE TO THE LOCAL NETWORK paragraph).
NOTE: Presets are available for easy and quick SIG7710 settings (see follow menù).
6. CONNECTION OF THE SIG7710 MODULE TO THE LOCAL NETWORK
After programming, the module can be connected to the local LAN network by the CAT-5E patch
cord.
