2. General Information
You can operate the DEC-200™ blades in the FR-110 single blade chassis, in the FR-210 dual blade
chassis or in the FR-2000 multi-channel rack chassis. For example when only a small amount of
decoders is required, or if single channel decoders need to be set up at dispersed network locations.
All equipment (like the chassis) and DEC-200™ accessories are handled as model options and need
to be purchased separately.
2.1 Unpacking the Decoder
When you unpack the ordered equipment, please make sure that all the equipment is complete.
Normally the DEC-200™ blades are pre-fit into the according chassis that the decoders have been
ordered with.

3. DEC-200™ User Guide
This chapter gives you an overview over DEC-200™ and demonstrates the decoder's main functions.
.!. Before proceeding please be sure that the decoder is setup correctly and all necessary
connections are established.
Working and configuring Teracue's decoders is very easy.
You do not need to install an application or remote configuring software. If you know how to browse
the internet, then you already know how to access and control the decoders, simply via web-browser.
3.1 Accessing and Configuring Decoders
Open your standard web-browser and type in the decoder's IP-address (e.g. ‘172.16.20.200’) in the
address field and press the ‘Enter’ button.
.!. If you haven't changed the factory presets and if not specified elsewhere in the
shipment the decoder's IP-address will by default be set to: 172.16.20.200.
Default IP-address:
172.16.20.200
Login username:
admin
Login password:
admin
.!. The decoder is configured by factory default to automatically start the decoding
process and displaying the stream of the multicast address 239.252.20.100, when a
network link and a link to the display unit are established.
.!. To be able to login to the decoder's user interface, your computer has to be in the same
IP-address range (subnet).
You briefly might have to change your computers IP-address to be in the same subnet as the decoder.
Only then you will be able to access the decoder and change the decoder's IP-address, and of course
afterwards change your computer's IP-address back.

3.4.2 Menu: Decoder / Transport
In the ‘DECODER/TRANSPORT’ menu, you are able to specify which PIDs the decoder should
receive (This Feature is not implemented in the moment).
PID stands for Packet Identifier:
The PIDs help to identify and locate the elementary signals in a stream containing lots of different
information and signals (audio, video and data). This is necessary due to the multiplexed nature of
transport streams.

Table 6 describes the ‘Decoder / Transport’ page of the DEC-200™ decoder, see Figure 7.
Settings: Description:
Program Number: Specifies the program number. The DEC-200™ recognizes the
manual mode by entering of the desired program number. To
change back the automatically mode, enter in the text field the
value ‘0’ and confirm this entry with the 'APPLY' button.
Video PID: Specifies the video packet identifier of the video which should be
displayed (e. g. a stream contains several videos). The DEC-
200™ recognizes the manual mode by entering of the desired
video PID. To change back the automatically mode, enter in the
text field the value ‘0’ and confirm this entry with the 'APPLY'
button.
Audio PID: Specifies the audio packet identifier of the audio which should be
played (e. g. a stream contains several audios). The DEC-200™
recognizes the manual mode by entering of the desired audio
PID. To change back the automatically mode, enter in the text
field the value ‘0’ and confirm this entry with the 'APPLY' button.
Transport Rate: Displays the transport rate of the received stream. (Read only)
Program Number: Displays the program number of the received stream. (Read only)
Video PID: Displays the video PID of the received stream. (Read only)
Audio PID: Displays the audio PID of the received stream. (Read only)
PCR PID: Displays the PCR (Program Clock Reference) packet identifier of
the received stream. (Read only)
PMT PID: Displays the PMT (Program Map Table) packet identifier of the
received stream. (Read only)
