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:

The file can be uploaded by LOAD CONFIGURATION.
The Safe-Restore menu is self-explaning: It internally SAVEs or RESTORE the settings.
Manually reboot and maybe
better to safe the config
first?

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.
