Confidential and Proprietary Version DRAFT 2004APR29 4 of 11 Novra A75 Receiver 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Principles of Operation Somewhere in the world is a location that transmits your signal, along with many others, to your location and others. Your A75 sifts through all the signals for your signal, a DVB data stream. The A75 then de-encapsulates the IP information from the DVB stream and forwards it onto its final destination via a 100 Base-T Ethernet link. The A75 also transmits status packets to your computer where the A75 Management Console is located. The A75 Management Console is used to configure addresses, specify tuning parameters and select DVB information streams (PIDS). Once configured, the A75 will retain its settings and continue to forward data transmitted to you by your service provider even after restarting the A75 or your computer. The A75 Receiver is meant to run in the background. In most cases, once the options have been set, you will have no need to change them.

CAUTION: There are grounding requirements and other safety considerations associated with your outdoor antenna. Be sure to follow all local electrical standards and codes when installing and using an antenna. Confidential and Proprietary Version DRAFT 2004APR29 6 of 11 Novra A75 Receiver 2) Connect the 6 VDC adapter to the A75 . 3) Connect the Crossover Ethernet cable (Null-modem) between your computer's 100 BaseT NIC card and the A75. (Or the A75 can be connected to the computer via a Hub with regular Ethernet cables.) 4) On your computer, create a file folder called "A75." The file folder can be under "Program Files" or in any other location. Note: The system will create additional files containing various configuration aspects as they are created. The system will locate these additional files in the same directory as the A75 Management Console.exe program. 5) Copy the file A75 Management Console.exe from the CD ROM to the "A75" file folder. 6) Shortcuts can be created if desired through the normal Windows procedures. 7) Open (run) the A75 Management Console.exe and proceed to section 4.0. Confidential and Proprietary Version DRAFT 2004APR29 7 of 11 Novra A75 Receiver 4.0 MANAGEMENT CONSOLE SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS 4.1 Configuring the A75 Data Receiver The data receiver configuration is very straightforward and can be shown in four basic steps: 1. Open (run) the A75 Management Console application 2. Configure the receiver IP addresses. 3. Set the receive channel. 4. Set the PID. Each of these three basic steps is presented below. Step 2: In figure 2, the A75 receiver IP addresses are configured according to the LAN at the receive site. Figure 2: Receiver IP Addresses Step 3: In figure 3, the receiver is tuned to channel 14, to match the broadcast modulator.
