3.2 Software options
The CP525 functionality depends on the sofware licences installed. The following table describes
the features available as software options. Please refer to Section 8.4.9.3 for more information
how to obtain and enable feature upgrades.
Table 3.1 Functionality enabled through software licences
Functionality Max value Description
SFP module - Enables operation of the Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) tranceiver slot.
SFP configuration - Enables configuration interface and parameter storage for some specifically
supported SFP modules.
SFN adapter support - Controls whether MIP insertion is made available on output.
Number of input
ports activated
24 Controls the number of simultaneously activated transport stream inputs.
Input switching - Enables creation of input switching groups.
Forward Error Correction - Controls availability of the FEC feature for IP outputs and IP inputs.
RTP/IP diversity reception - Enables configuration of IP diversity reception input pairs.
Ethernet data interface - Controls whether carriage of MPEG transport streams on Ethernet is made
available.
Emergency switch
support
- Enables support for external switch panel to switch between pre-loaded
configurations.
Service fallback - The feature makes it possible to configure pairs of services where one is
back-up for the other. Switching decision is made based on alarm levels on
each service.
SI download - This key is needed to use an external SI system towards the unit.
Enhanced SI playout - This option controls the availability of a few advanced DVB-EIT schedule
playout parameters: ’Use constant section interval’, ’Use sliding window’ and
’Use expired events’. These parameters are explained in Section 5.11.2 and
Section 8.7.2.8.2. Also, this option affects the availability of ’EIT packing’.
This option is explained in Section 8.7.2.8.1. All together, this option offers
a more advanced control of playout out EIT for economisation on bandwith.
PSI/SI/PSIP editor - Controls availability of built-in PSI/SI/PSIP Editor function in GUI, to edit
tables for static playout.
Allow ASI inputs - Enables use of ASI input ports. Without this key the device can be used with
IP input only.
Conditional Access - Control whether device can be used as a DVB Scrambler.
BISS - Control whether device can be used as a BISS mode 1 scrambler.
Advanced traffic
shaping
- Expands the number of queue levels for routed MPEG data on the output
prioritisation queue from 4 to 15. This makes it possible to configure more
advanced prioritization on a PID level to control which data is discarded first
in the event of over-booking the output.
Connect control - Enables supervision of the unit through the Connect Software.

Installing the Equipment 19
ID: um_tsmux CP525 cMux User’s Manual Rev. 5.20.12 (3944)
4 Installing the Equipment
Caution: The CP525 must be handled carefully to prevent safety hazards
and equipment damage. Ensure that the personnel designated to install
the unit have the required skill and knowledge. Follow the instructions
for installation and use only installation accessories recommended by the
manufacturers.
4.1 Inspect the package content
•Inspect the shipping container for damage. Keep the shipping container and cushioning
material until you have inspected the contents of the shipment for completeness and
have checked that the CP525 is mechanically and electrically in order.
•Verify that you received the following items:
−CP525 with correct power supply option
−Power cord(s)
−CD-ROM containing documentation and Flash Player installation files
−Any optional accessories you have ordered
Note: 48 VDC versions do not ship with a power cord; instead a Power
D-SUB male connector for soldering to the supply leads is supplied.
4.2 Installation Environment
As with any electronic device, the CP525 should be placed where it will not be subjected to
extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the selected site
should meet the following requirements:
•The ambient temperature should be between 0 and 50 ◦C (32 and 122 ◦F).
•The relative humidity should be less than 95 %, non-condensing. Do not install the
unit in areas of high humidity or where there is danger of water ingress.
•Surrounding electric devices should comply with the electromagnetic field (EMC) stan-
dard IEC 801-3, Level 2 (less than 3 V/m field strength).
•The AC power outlet (when applicable) should be within 1.8 meters (6 feet) of the
CP525.

20 Installing the Equipment
CP525 cMux User’s Manual Rev. 5.20.12 (3944) ID: um_tsmux
•Where appropriate, ensure that this product has an adequate level of lightning protec-
tion. Alternatively, during a lightning storm or if it is left unused and unattended for
long periods of time, unplug it from the power supply and disconnect signal cables.
This prevents damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Warning: If the CP525 has been subject to a lightning strike or a power
surge which has stopped it working, disconnect the power immediately.
Do not re-apply power until it has been checked for safety. If in doubt
contact T-VIPS.
4.3 Equipment installation
The CP525 is designed for stationary use in a standard 19" rack. When installing please observe
the following points:
•Route cables safely to avoid them being pinched, crushed or otherwise interfered with.
Do not run AC power cables and signal cables in the same duct or conduit.
•The CP525 has all connectors at the rear. When mounting the unit, ensure that the
installation allows easy access to the rear of the unit.
•The fans contained in this unit are not fitted with dust/insect filters. Pay particular
attention to this when considering the environment in which it shall be used.
•Make sure that the equipment is adequately ventilated. Do not block the ventilation
holes on each side of the CP525.
4.4 Ventilation
Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to protect it from overheating and ensure
reliable operation. The openings must not be blocked or covered. Allow at least 50 mm free
