Introduction:
The BLANKOM IGS-900 is a high performance and cost-effective SPTS / MPTS IP streamer.
Equipped with 16 DVB-S/S2x FTA (Free to Air unencrypted) tuner inputs, with BISS de-scrambling
capabilities, up to 512 SPTS Stream channels through Gigabit Ethernet ports (parallel operation as
redundant stream-I/O). Depending on the installed firmware the device can operate in SPTS (IPTV)
Mode or 16x pass through MPTS-Mode (DVB over IP) by selecting it (device need to reboot if changing).
To meet customers’ various requirements, this device is also equipped with 2 ASI input ports which
selected services can be streamed to the Gbe output.
The BLANKOM IGS-900 is also characterized with a high integration level, high performance and very
cost effective. This streamer is very adaptable to new generations of IPTV headend systems i.e. in
hospitality environments serving FreeToAir (FTA) content and BISS encrypted Services.

Installation Notes
All types of the IRENIS-BLANKOM family are 19“devices with 1 RU height designed for installation in
19” racks. In addition to the front panel screws, an internal module support is required at the rack.
Depending on the Frontend used and the operating adjustments, the RF-input port carries
DC Voltage (13V /18V, max. 400 mA).
By connecting a mains cable, the device can become functional without any auxiliary appliances. The
power supply units are almost (! Please check rear) designed for the wide range of 100-230V AC ,
50/60Hz; a manual adjustment of the voltage is not necessary.
For some models, the second power connector is feeding another independent power supply for
internal redundancy. For a maximum of redundancy, both power supplies should use different
circuits.
All the outputs are decoupled from one another. Thus, the circuit does not have any effect on the
functioning of the device. Connections that are not required need not to be terminated.
Suggestion: CAT 6E Ethernet cable for Gigabit-Ethernet
Note:
IPv4 global scope sessions use multicast addresses in the range 224.2.128.0 - 224.2.255.255 with
SAP Announcements being sent to 224.2.127.254 Port 9875 (note that 224.2.127.255 is used by
the obsolete SAPv0 and MUST NOT be used).
IPv4 administrative scope sessions using administratively scoped IP multicast. The multicast
address to be used for announcements is the highest multicast address in the relevant
administrative scope zone.
For example, if the scope range is 239.16.32.0 - 239.16.33.255, then 239.16.33.255 is used for
SAP Announcements.

Quick-Start Installation:
The user can control and set the configuration of the device with any computer by connecting to the
web server-Interface (WebIF) by the 100BaseT NMS Port. The user should ensure that the computer’s
IP address is different from other device’s IP address; otherwise, it might cause an IP conflict. Be sure
to set it in the same network range.
Default Login-Data is 192.168.0.136 (default factory address) are admin/admin:
Note: We recommend using always the newest version of the browser Firefox.
Which lets you start in the STATUS display:
Menu is different in MPTS (see above)
Please select the operating mode for SPTS (default) or MPTS in the Firmware section:

Load an external previously saved config is almost better:
Try and error ;-( Reason: We have changed the SPTS mode to MPTS operation and that doesn't
accept the previous saved settings from the SPTS mode. So, we go back to SPTS.
Just to show the difference for MPTS – outputs – only 16 IP streams can be assigned. You should
decide whether a stream goes through GbE 1 or 2 so please balance the MPTS streams if more than
800 Mb/s are streamed in total.

So, the IP output settings of each stream can be modified here. For RTSP-mode please
note, that the receiver needs to be in the same subnet like the selected GbE Data port like
here:

So, the first stream can be received by rtsp://192.168.2.137:5000/1
But your receiver needs to be part of it:

streams.

Network Setup:
We assume that the user is familiar with IP settings and already knows his own system to connect the
unit to. If you use the Output Streaming: We recommend using 2 separate Switches! At least a
100BaseT for the Management NMS RJ45 port and a second one with Gigabit Ethernet
10/100/1000BaseT with at least Layer 2+ with IGMP V2 features. Otherwise, you might flood your IP-
Streaming network with unnecessary Data, which might overload connected IPTV STB's because they
almost have only 100BaseT capacity (Never ones use 1GbE ports) but too many inputs into a STB can
result in side effects. If you need to select a Switch, we recommend HP Procurve 2530 24G or 48G
which are cost effective, easy to configure, can be trunked and supporting IGMP V2. If the switch needs
routing functions, the bigger brother of this series might be the right choice.
Because to not accidently put DATA and NMS port in the same sub-network, the data – port setting
does not allow this by default. Usually, the DATA GbE Ports needing at least own and free IP
addresses- otherwise the Switch or the receivers (i.e., IPTV STB's) cannot locate the source of the
streams.
Note: For the GBE 1 and GBE 2 ports a security mechanism is installed to avoid setting
them in the same IP-range like you have done for the NMS- port.
On GbE 1 the Gateway can be changed. GbE 2 would follow it automatically:

Changing user-account:
Change it to your needs, but do not forget the password otherwise you would need to reset the unit
with the Front-panel RESET switch (press it min. 10…15 sec) to factory default.
DVB-C / T Tuning is slightly different and you need to enter the center-
frequency of the to be received DVB-C/QAM channel. The tuner will detect
the inside-channel values.
NOTE: a comma in the frequency like 624,25 MHz has to be entered in
AMERICAN STYLE as a ‘.’ Instead the ‘,’

Tuner-Setup:
Using a Multiswitch with more than one SAT-position and > 16 outputs: You can set every
single Tuner Input individually.
Using a SAT-Splitter: Be carefully, active splitter needs at least one 13V…18V DC connection
to it to operate. You should avoid to switch on V/H polarization Voltage 13/18V on every
Input port. The active splitter would pass the 13V or 18V to the Multiswitch and assigning
the fixed polarization to the Multiswitch. So, all selected Transponders should be either in
Vertical (13V) or Horizontal (18V) position.
Passive splitters should be used with DC Passthrough and the Voltage should be passed only
once as well.
We recommend to check www.lyngsat.com or www.satbeams.org for correct settings.
Example:

Page 19
We are using a 1-8 active splitter here and so we have to take care, that the first 8 inputs will
be setup to tune the same polarization and set the first Input to it LOW-Band =9750 MHz
LNB-IF frequency (while HIGH-band is almost 10600.000MHz using 22KHz signal):
The next is:
-> Only 1x 18V supplying is enough by using
the active (or passive) Splitter. Be patient, the unit's WEBIF will take some time to update
the Information:
You can now proceed with the other 16 Inputs. (Rem.: C-Band-LNB-Freq=5150MHz… preset
in the Menu)
