3. Security Every 7500 Series unit comes with a unique SSL secure sockets layer certificate for securing its IP link SSL is a commonly used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on an IP network Therefore the connections between a receiver and a transmitter or between a unit and the Device Configurator program can be secured The SSL protocol secures the following data I O serial port and VSIP communication It does not apply to audio and video transmission Once a unit is in secure mode you cannot access it anymore with Telnet and you cannot perform firmware updates through the IP network on it However you can configure it with the Device Configurator s Units tab For more information about this security feature refer to the Device Configurator User Manual Video The video resolution of the 7500 Series units is where the horizontal resolution is in number of columns and the vertical resolution in number of lines Resolution Horizontal resolution Vertical resolution NTSC PAL NTSC PAL QCIF 176 120 144 CIF 352 240 288 2ClIF 352 384 448 4CIF 704 480 576 Their video frame rate is in the 1 30 frames per second fps range in NTSC and 1 25 fps in PAL 1 Overview 7500 Series User Manual Shipment Your 7500 Series shipment contains the following items The requested transmitter and or receiver units Product code Description 7501D Ethernet decoder 750

LED indications 3 Configuring and Installing Units 7500 Series User Manual Configuring the Unit The following configuration steps are required Setting a series of parameters including the IP address In an analog extension context creating a point to point connection Setting Unit Parameters The first step in installing a 7500 Series unit is to change ita IP address to ensure compatibility with any existing LAN or WAN The default IP addresses of all 7500 Series units are based on the APIPA service and will be in the range 169 254 X Y where X and Y are based on the MAC address of the individual unit To work properly units on the same network must have unique IP addresses For more information regarding networking and appropriate IP addresses see Chapter 2 page 5 or contact your network administrator The unit will not prevent you from entering a duplicate address Its status LED however will flash red then the unit will reboot with an APIPA address If the unit is a receiver the Duplicate IP Detected message will also be displayed in the on screen display for more information on this display see Chapter 5 page 23 The IP addresses of a unit can be set by two methods Connecting your unit to the same LAN as your PC and using Device Configurator described next Using the command line interface see page 20 Next you have to set serial port parameters The configuration procedure is the same for all unit
9. a common communications line A wide area network WAN usually contains leased lines from a public carrier that permit a span of large distances up to many hundreds of miles The 7500 Series works best over LANs and WANs where data rates can be controlled and guaranteed To allow communication between every device on a network without confusion a standard protocol has been developed to permit seamless flow of information back and forth between all devices Known as 802 3 this protocol requires devices to send all information in units of data called packets To determine the destination device packets are given destination addresses The numerical addresses use the Internet Protocol IP and are therefore known as IP addresses They are broken up into four fields seperated by dots each with a value between 1 and 254 Therefore your address should range between 1 1 1 1 and 254 254 254 254 When installing your 7500 Series you will have to give it a unique IP address If you are using your own closed network no other devices will be on this network and it is not connected to any other LAN WAN or the Internet it is strongly recommended that you use the address range 192 168 135 1 to 192 168 135 254 If you are installing the 7500 Series on an existing LAN or WAN you should get the range of addresses for the 7500 Series from the network administrator Some networks have a server that allocates the IP addresses This is known as dynamic host
