1.2 iPump Overview
The Wegener iPump is an integrated, digital satellite receiver, decoder, and
media server designed to provide the most cost effective method of delivering
and storing digital content for broadcast, cable, and business operations. The
iPump is a key part of the Wegener Communications Digital Media Delivery
System which combines secure MPEG and IP digital transmission with media
management and server storage. At a given time, up to 260 hours of media
content can be stored on a single iPump (with optional, large disk capacity) and
served out via Ethernet according to current need or predetermined schedules.
With the iPump, you can receive, decode, and play out broadcast-quality trans-
missions while at the same time receiving from satellite and recording multiple
programs or IP data files. Combined with our Compel MediaPlan software, the
iPump can also place spot segments into real-time or recorded programs and
can schedule playback of custom sequences of live and recorded content.
Physical
Description
The iPump is housed in a standard, 2 RU, rack-mountable chassis. Its front
panel provides a user interface through an LCD and six pushbuttons (see Fig-
ure 3.1 iPump Front Panel on page 22). The rear panel holds the power
switch and the ports that allow connection to power, incoming signal, and
peripheral devices.
Functional
Description
Your iPump can perform the following functions:
iPump Status Monitoring
Front-panel and web browser interface screens allow real-time monitoring of
iPump activity, settings, and signal characteristics.
Live Program Play
The iPump decodes an incoming DVB MPEG program from the received sat-
ellite signal and decrypts and decodes the audio and/or video from the selected
program through analog or digital output ports to your monitor or transmission
equipment. The incoming content may be either a "classical" DVB program or
an IP multicast stream. RF and decoder settings are selected by the user. Two
live programs from the same DVB carrier may be played simultaneously by
iPumps which have the optional second decoder.
Record Program to File
The iPump can simultaneously record up to three separate multiplexed pro-
grams (either "classical" DVB or IP multicast stream) from the incoming
stream including any that are played live to the decoder(s). The user selects the
programs and enters a file name, audio setting, and a recording time (duration)
for each. Files are recorded to disk in the iPump for later play-out or download-

iPump User’s Manual
wegener.com 7 800009-01 Rev. A
ing. Up to 40 GB of storage (up to 43.3 hours of programming depending on
data rate) is available on standard iPumps and up to 240 GB on optional,
extended-storage iPumps (see Disk Storage Capacity).
Record and play functions can be used in such applications as "tape delay"/
time zone shifting, "spot" localization of commercials, and corporate training
media distribution.
Play Recorded Program File
The iPump plays out the selected, stored program files to the connected audio
and video monitors. File playing may be initiated by a predetermined schedule
via Compel or by a schedule stored internally to the iPump. The user may also
command playing of files directly from a web browser or from the front panel.
Two recorded programs (or one recorded and one live) may be played simulta-
neously on iPumps with an optional second decoder.
File Management
Compel users can rename or delete files stored on the iPump and organize
them into directories or folders. Renaming and deleting files may also be per-
formed through a web browser connected to the iPump over a LAN.
Playlists
Sequences of programs called Playlists can be created and stored on the iPump
by the user (locally or by COMPEL). Up to 100 Playlists can be stored in non-
volatile memory and played back with no interruption between programs. Set-
tings can be made to repeat the playlist indefinitely, complete the playlist and
repeat only the last program indefinitely, or complet the playlist and simply
return the decoder to its previous state.
Routing
The iPump can serve as a satellite-to-LAN IP router. Both unicast and multi-
cast IP traffic is supported. Multicast traffic can include, for example, MPEG
video streaming data. The IGMP protocol is followed for multicast traffic.
Stream Creation
The iPump can create IP multicast video streams and present them on the LAN
for use by other equipment. The source of the video stream may be either a pre-
recorded or downloaded file or a "classical" DVB program.

iPump User’s Manual
800009-01 Rev. A 8 wegener.com
The iPump can also multicast previously-stored streams to the LAN. See Fig-
ure 1.1 iPump Routing for an illustration of iPump routing paths.
Figure 1.1 iPump Routing
Scheduled Operation
Schedules of record, play, and other operations for automatic execution by the
iPump may be set up using the Compel network and may be viewed from the
web browser interface. (Schedule operations support wild cards and ranges in
day, date, and time fields for repetitive events.)
File Downloads
The iPump accepts files downloaded from the satellite link via Compel’s
Assured File Delivery package. Application software and other files may also
be downloaded. Up to five downloads may be performed simultaneously up to
an aggregate data rate of 25 Mbps.
The iPump's file download and record functions may be used to load the unit
with content for playout (according to a pre-arranged schedule if desired) at
any time. This can be particularly useful in applications with extended or con-
tinuous playout needs and limited satellite operating times.

iPump User’s Manual
wegener.com 9 800009-01 Rev. A
Files Served to LAN
Users sharing a LAN with the iPump may download stored files from the
iPump to their local workstation or server using FTP or SMB protocol.
Compel Control
iPump operation may be controlled remotely by a Compel network. Compel
Conditional Access controls which iPumps may access the satellite’s material
and prevents access by any other receive equipment. Local control of the unit
may be disabled for exclusive control by Compel. The iPump always follows
the most recent command received and does not prioritize commands based on
origination from the front panel, web browser interface, or Compel network.
HTML Control
Control of the iPump is available from any web browser on the LAN to which
it is connected or via the internet if desired. The IP address and subnet mask
can be displayed and changed at the iPump front panel.
Contact Closure/Alarms
The iPump provides a contact closure through a rear-panel connector whenever
the unit enters an alarm condition. An additional user relay is also available.
The iPump can also sense a contact closure input. Using Compel, file playouts
can be triggered by local closure of this input.
iPump
Options
The iPump Media Server/Store and Forward Receiver is available in several
configurations to meet specific applications. Input type, decoder type, disk
storage capacity, Conditional Access, and the presence of a second decoder can
be varied to create models best suited for your specific needs.

Chapter 2 Installation
This chapter provides instructions on unpacking, mounting, and connecting
your iPump as well as connector information including detailed pinouts.
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the unit and its ac power cord and inspect for obvious signs
of physical damage that might have occurred during shipment. Also locate the
bag of accessories including 1/8-to-RCA and SVD-to-RCA adapters. Any
damage claims must be reported to the carrier immediately. Be sure to check
the package contents carefully for important documents and materials.
NOTE: Please save the packing materials and original shipping containers in
case you must later return the unit for repair. Packing these units in other
containers in such a way that they are damaged will void your warranty.
2.2 Location and Mounting
The iPump may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or fitted
with rubber feet for desk top operation. In either location, maintain a clean, dry
environment for your iPump.
WARNING

DANGER
To avoid damage to this and other equipment, or personal injury, the following
items should be strictly observed.
Elevated Operating Ambient
When equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient of the rack environment may be greater than the room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to the ambient air
temperature within the rack, and not just inside the room, when deciding if the
maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) is being met.
Reduced Air Flow
Equipment should be installed such that airflow required for safe operation of
the equipment is not compromised. The iPump may be arranged in a rack
without empty spaces between units if heat rise is prevented by ensuring its
side vents remain unblocked with adequate clearance around the vent holes.

Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not produced by uneven loading. This unit is not very heavy, but
total rack loading must be considered. Also, do not rest any unsupported
equipment on your iPump.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits could have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Ensure that the total rack or breaker
power consumption does not exceed the limits of the ac branch circuit.
Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (use of power strips, chassis ground lugs, etc.).

Rack
Mounting
Your iPump is sized at 2 RU and will fit an EIA-standard, 19-inch-wide equip-
ment rack (See “Size” on page 12.).
a) First install angle brackets or cross-supports capable of supporting both
the unit and its connecting cables. Screw or bolt the supports securely
to the equipment rack.
b) Place the iPump on its supports and use four anchor screws or bolts and
nuts to secure the iPump's front brackets to the rack.
WARNING
The front brackets must be secured to the rack. If front brackets are left
unsecured, the unit may shift forward and fall from the rack during installation
or operation. Failure to secure the front brackets may result in personal injury
and/or damage to the equipment.
Desktop
Installation
To set up the iPump in a desktop environment, first attach the self-adhesive
mounting feet supplied with your unit. Peel of the backing and press one to the
bottom of the chassis near each corner.
Place the iPump on a flat surface where it will not be subject to spills or
impacts. Also route cables to the unit so that they will not be hit or pulled caus-
ing damage to the connectors or to the unit itself. Ensure a sufficient flow of
cool air (See “Reduced Air Flow” on page 16.) so that the unit's operating
ambient temperature range is not exceeded.
WARNING
Locate the iPump and its cables to avoid impacts, spills, and pulling cables
and to ensure sufficient air flow. Failure to locate the iPump in a proper
environment may result in damage to the equipment.

2.3 iPump Connections
Before applying power, make the following connections to your iPump (refer
to Table 4 on page 19 for connector details and to Figure 2.1 iPump Rear-
panel Connector Locations for placement):
a) Connect the L-band output from your antenna's LNB to the extender
cable on your iPump's input RF port [a]. (A BNC connector is used
here for iPumps with the ASI input option.)
b) Connect a suitable audio monitor or monitors to the iPump's audio
port(s) [b1] (on both decoders if your iPump includes a second
decoder). Also connect audio monitoring to the auxiliary audio port
[b2] if your iPump includes that option (See Table 1: iPump Options
Key on page 10).
c) Connect a suitable video monitor or monitors to the iPump's video [c]
port (on both decoders if your iPump includes a second decoder). (See
Table 1: iPump Options Key on page 10).
d) Connect your LAN line to the iPump's Ethernet port [d]. (Refer to
Table 6: iPump LAN Connector Pin Functions on page 20.)
Figure 2.1 iPump Rear-panel Connector Locations
e) If desired, connect the Alarm port [e] to your equipment to provide
contact closures and openings during alarms or on command from
Compel. (Refer to Table 5: iPump Alarm Connector Pin Functions
on page 19.)
f) Finally, connect the supplied ac power cord to the iPump's IEC
receptacle [f] and to a 100-to-120 Vac or 200-to-240 Vac source.
NOTE: Do not connect devices to the mouse, keyboard and other connectors
not described here. They are for factory use only.
