3.4.5 Integration into the head end management system for B-LINE or C-LINE
If a EMA device is being used in association with B- or C-LINE head end components, the possibility exists (using HCB x00 “BLUE“, from
9650.03 upwards) of integrating the encoder into the overview of the head end and calling it up from this screen. A hub will be necessary
in this case, through which the Ethernet connections of the HCB x00 and the EMA device are networked. Before this happens, the
“lowest” of the IP addresses of all the EMA encoders must be entered in the configuration menu for the IP address of the HCB x00.
It is only possible to enter (or change) IP addresses into the HCB x00 directly. This cannot be done from the html user interface.
Warning:
If multiple EMA devices are being integrated, it is
important
to note that the HCB x00 will search in the network for any IP address (N)
with the “lowest” value and will then search for nine more with ever “higher” addresses (N+1...N+9). In consequence, the maximum
number of EMA devices which can be included in the head end overview of an HCB x00 is ten. Switching on or re-setting the HCB x00
will cause any EMA device in the network to be read and shown in the overview along with the rest of the system.
By clicking “Edit”, a link is made to the IP address of the EMA device and the login window opens. Once the “serial number” and the
“password” have been entered, the EMA device can be configured as described in section 3.3.3.
