Introduction:
The BLANKOM IGS-924 is a high performance and cost-effective SPTS or MPTS IP streamer.
Equipped with 24 DVB-S/S2x FTA (Free to Air unencrypted) tuner inputs, with BISS de-scrambling
capabilities, up to 2x 512 SPTS Stream channels through Gigabit Ethernet ports (parallel operation as
redundant stream-I/O). Depending on the chosen mode, the device can operate in SPTS (IPTV) Mode
or 2x12 pass through MPTS-Mode (DVB over IP) by selecting it (device need to reboot after changing).
To meet customers’ various requirements, this device is also equipped with 1 ASI input port which
selected services can be streamed to the Gbe output. The ASI out are only used in MPTS mode.
The BLANKOM IGS-924 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:
NOTE:
The unit’s Web-Interface is also reachable by
http://IP-Address of connected DATA-Port 1 or 2: (see also network section and later)

Please note, the DATA-GbE Port default settings are different than shown here.
Usually, the device will be shipped in MPTS mode and the config-Menus are different in
SPTS and MPTS
Please select the operating mode for SPTS (default) or MPTS in the Firmware section:
Bypass means MPTS 1:1 transponder to IP
stream output
Note:
If you change the SPTS mode to MPTS (and vice versa) you need to backup your settings before the
