4. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1) Initial Setup by Web Browser
All Plura monitors should be shipped with the latest versions of firmware/software, but in the
case where an update is needed, follow the appropriate steps below. Each update is applied
using the Control LAN 2 UI. The Media LAN 2110 Control (out-band) is also accessed via the
Control LAN 2 UI. Follow the instructions below to access this interface. We recommend
Chrome an d Firefox browsers for control on Windows.
2) Connecting to the Control LAN 2 User Interface “UI”
●Plug in the Ethernet cable to the Control LAN 2 on the back of the monitor.
●Power on the unit and wait for the “PLEASE WAIT EMBER+ BOARD IS BOOTING”
message to go away (Figure 4)
Figure 4. Ember+ Board Booting
●On your Plura monitor, press the “Menu” button. Select “Setup” →“Advanced”
→“Network Config2” to find the IP address of the Ember+ board (Figure 5).

●On your computer, open your web browser and go to the IP address of the monitor (eg.
192.168.0.97 from Figure 5 above). You should see a landing page similar to that shown
in Figure 6 below.
Note: If the unit fails to establish a connection, add a port override to 8086 (suffix ':808
6/home' on the Control LAN 2 IP address in the browser address line). If this connects
properly, please contact Plura Support to get and install the latest web update.
From the Control LAN 2 UI landing page, the “Monitor Update” button is used to update
Ember+ Control, Ember+/TSL License, Monitor FPGA (some models), Monitor Firmware
(some models), and the Web UI itself. The “Media LAN 2110 Control (out-band)” button
is used to access out-band control of the 2110 module.

6. MEDIA LAN 2110 CONTROL (out-band)
1) Overview
Each SFP-25G-Series Plura monitor defaults to the Media LAN input source which is set to
display an internally generated 'blue screen' test signal from the 2110 module. The video format
defaults to 3840x2160p59.94.
2) Management via Control LAN 2 UI
●Open the Control LAN 2 UI Media LAN 2110 Control (out-band) page. Refer to section '
Connecting to the Control LAN 2 UI'.
●The Media LAN 2110 Control has three tab options for out-band control: Main, Aux, and
Management. Figure 19 below shows the UI Main Tab and Figure 20 shows the UI AUX
Tab.
●In the Main tab there are fields to set the Video, Audio, and the Ancillary flows’
configuration. Each flow allows configuration of both its Primary and Secondary fields
and has a n Enable check box. Adjustable fields include the destination IP address, the
destinatio n port, and video format (for primary video only, secondary video format is
always the same as the primary video format).
Figure 19. Main Tab
●The Aux tab (Figure 20) allows configuration of the auxiliary decapsulation channel
similar to the Main channel.

IP uncheck the DHCP check box (Figure 21). Once the Static IP values are entered click
on the submit button.

3) 10G/25G Switch Configuration Requirements
●FEC must be disabled on all switch ports connected to the Plura monitor 2110 ports.
●PTP must be enabled on the switch and on all switch ports connected to the Plura
monitor 2110 ports.
4) 2022-7 Hitless Switching Toggle ON - Configuring Flows for Redundancy
●SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy is enabled when the 2022-7 Hitless Switching toggle is set
the ON position. This will enable use of the secondary flow configurations. Each channel
(Main/Aux) has its own independent hitless toggle switch.
●The primary interface media flows (video/audio/ancillary) are always the main flows in
a redundant pair upon start-up (enabling) of decapsulation when using 2022-7.
●The secondary interface media flows (video/audio/ancillary) are only ever used for
2022-7 hitless switching mode and cannot be used by themselves independently of the
primary media flows.
●Conflicting destination IP addresses. All flows on all tabs must have unique destination
IP addresses. Flows cannot share the same destination IP address as another flow. This
is also true between primary and secondary and between the Main and Aux channel
tabs. It does not matter if the flows are enabled or not, conflicts are not allowed.
