The device web interface
Now that your DTE-3100 has received its
first IP address and you have verified that
you can ping the unit, you should be able
to browse too the homepage of the unit.
To browse too the homepage of your unit,
open your favourite browser (e.g. Internet
Explorer or Firefox), type in the unit’s IP
address (e.g. “http://192.168.39.22”) and
press enter. This will take you to the unit’s
homepage from which you will be able to
configure and view the status of your DTE-
3100.
The homepage contains the following tabs:
Device Status: This tab shows the
current status of the unit.
Network Settings: This tab is used to
configure the IP address and SNMP
2
settings of the unit.
On this page you will be able to assign
a fixed IP address to the unit.
SMPTE Settings

: This tab is used to
control the SMPTE setting of your
device. Here you can set the unicast or
multicast IP address which should be
forwarded to the ASI output.
Application Switcher: This tab allows
you to switch between the two possible
modes of operation for the unit (see “”
for more details).
Firmware Upgrade: This tab can be
used to upgrade the firmware of your
unit.

Modes of operation
The DTE-3100 has two modes of operation
called DTAPI- and SMPTE-mode.
2
SNMP settings are only available when the
device is operation in SMPTE-mode.

The “SMPTE Settings” tab is only available
when the device is operating in SMPTE mode
In DTAPI-mode the unit operates as a
remote ASI output device. The unit can be
used as if it where a standard DekTec DVB-
ASI output adapter, with as difference that
the unit is connected to your PC via the
network instead of via the PCI or USB bus.
In this mode it is instance possible to use
the StreamXpress player software to stream
a file from disk to the ASI output of the
DTE-3100.
NOTE It is also possible to write a custom
application that that uses a DTE-3100 in
DTAPI-mode. To write a custom application
you will need to use the latest version of
DekTec’s C++ API called the DTAPI.
In SMPTE-mode the unit operates in
standalone mode and can be configured
to autonomously forward a TSoIP stream to
it’s ASI output. If the TSoIP stream uses a
SMPTE-2022 FEC stream, the unit can be
setup to use this FEC streams to recover
any packets that might be lost in your IP
network.
