3.4 Configuration of Tangram
3.4.1 Connecting to the Tangram Web UI (GUI)
Connecting with web browser
Use a standard web browser on your computer to connect by typing the IP
address of the Tangram in the address field.
Supported web browsers
The Tangram web interface is verified for Firefox version 9 and higher.
Other web browsers might work, too - but the functionality cannot be guaranteed.
General information about the web interface structure
The web UI is designed to get a logical structure for the user/ installer, and an
overview of the device via the side tabs and module details via the top tabs.
The main SETTINGS tab contains setting about the switch such as Networking,
Headend System Management, Operation Mode, Common Interface, SW and
Entitlement Upgrade, Maintenance, and Log. The CAM menu, if available, is also
displayed in the Common Interface menu under the SETTINGS tab.
The main interface while managing services within the modules is the SERVICE
MANAGEMENT tab. Here, you will have an overview of the configured inputs
and outputs, and you will also manage the service selection and decryption.
Before you start managing the services on the modules, you should add and
configure the inputs and configure the outputs in their respective tabs.

Operating instructions

3.4.2 Connecting to the default Management IP address:
The Tangram default IP address on the left front management port is 192.168.1.20
(GT11 SW rel. <0.8.1.5 : 192.168.0.11)
To access the Tangram Web- Interface please set the IP address on your PC or
Network adaptor to an address in the same address subnet & use same network mask.
3.4.3 SETTINGS Tab: Changing the IP address to your own Network
It is recommended to change the IP to an unique IP address in your network. Please
change the IP address under SETTINGS / NETWORKING.
Please always remove completely & newly configure Network- Addresses, the Netmask
plus the default gateway. A known NTP Server source can be used for the time of day
sync. When you are finished with your changes please press the “Save” button.

3.5 Tangram GT11 / 12 Switch modules / Main Control Page
3.5.1 Main Status GT11- Control
On the Tangram GT11-Control Status Tab you can monitor overall stats like Alarms,
Fans, Power, Temperature, Serial Number and main SW- Version of Tangram .
In the left field you can see the GT Modules / Slots identified by the Chassis.
3.5.2 Maintenance: Future GT11 main updates / upgrades
In future there may be additional functionality added to Tangram.
Firmware- Update or Upgrade for the main switch are applied via the Maintenance Tab.
IP- Adresses set & Group membership survive a Main Firmware Update as long not
stated differently in the release notes.

3.6 Tangram GT11 / 12 internal Switch / Control tab
3.6.1 Modules tab
On the Tangram GT11 Control Tab you can maintain the modules:
In the left field there are the Modules / Slots identified by the Chassis / Switch.
3.6.2 Module Status and Settings
You can check and set the Modules on the Modules tab. You can switch them on /off
and can reset them remotely. Additional you can configure Module Redundancy (n+1):
3.6.3 n+1 Module Redundancy
You can check and set the Modules Redundancy mode of a module by choosing the
Redundancy mode (Master or Reserved) within that `Modules´ Tab column.
A module which should be secured has to be in `Master´ mode, the module which
should take the redundancy in case one of the Master modules fails has to be set to
´Reserved`. There is no mixing of different module types allowed / possible to apply
Module redundancy. If a problem is detected on a “Master” module the power is
automatically switched off and the `Reserved´ module is activated simultanously with
the Master config.
To revert the redundancy you have to switch on Power again for the replaced Module by
hand in this tab. The reserved module will go to reserved mode again and switch off its
own outputs when the new Module comes up again.
3.6.4 Module Redundancy status
You can see the Status of Module redundancy within the Redundancy status column.

3.8 Configuration of Modules
3.8.1 Connecting to the Modules:
The Tangram modules GT2x can be accessed through the front management port by
just choosing the module on the left column in the Web UI.
( to access all modules wih the same Mangement IP- address through the Switch please
make sure that the IP ports 80 to 86 are opened with your Firewalls )
3.8.2 Adding additional IP addresses to the modules (optional)
As an option you can put an unique IP management address to every module available
through the Switch Management Port (e.g. Main address +1,+2, etc.). This can be used
e.g. to get SNMP- traps directly from the Modules.
You can edit the IP address of a Module under SETTINGS / NETWORKING. Please
always remove & newly configure network- address, the netmask plus the default
gateway. If you don’t want to specifiy put in 0.0.0.0 as gateway address.
(as an further alternative or to recover a problem you may use the backup control port
on the back of module with default address 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0. Use
again a standard web browser to connect by typing the IP address in the address field. )
If the address setting is unknown or lost you can recover on the module control port by
using the WISI / a2b IP Supporter tool - you can download it from the WISI portal.

3.9 Tangram & SW options
3.9.1 Connect to WISI portal & activating the output Modules:
The Tangram modules GT2x (not the chassis itselve and GT11) must be registered at
the WISI portal & activated through a entitlement file when they are shipped with the
factory default setup. You can get / download that from WISI Web-Portal:
The WISI Tangram portal
Portal URL: http://tangramconnect.tv
Connect to the Tangram portal using the URL: http://tangramconnect.tv
(in case tangramconnect.tv is down / not available temporary you can use
http://chameleonconnect.tv in the meantime which offers the same functionality
and data.
3.9.2 Serial- number / Linking to the Modules:
The Tangram module to be activated can be accessed through the main
management by just choosing the module on the left column. Please copy / write
down the Serial Number out of the Status tab of the module to be activated.
3.9.3 Requesting access to the tangramconnect.tv portal
If you do not have yet a password for access to the portal, please click the
Request access to Tangram portal link.
3.9.4 Login to the tangramconnect.tv
Enter your e-mail address and password, and click Login. Only with the first
module you have to register once for the Portal. Then after some time to
generate your account or if you have forgotten your password & clicked the
Reset password link, an e-mail will be sent to the entered e-mail address. The e-
mail contains a hyper-link that you should follow to confirm the request for a new
password.
