Setting the Management SAP 
To set specific Management 
SAP parameters go to the 
Configuration->Network–> 
Management section of the web 
browser.   
Management SAP IP address 
and Port–
 The default address 
from which Management SAPs 
are obtained by VBDirectory is 
224.2.133.134, port 9876.  
Sending SAPs from an 
EtherneTV-STB to any address 
other than that, without changing 
the default VBDirectory 
configuration will make 
Management SAPs invisible to 
VBDirectory.   
Transmit enable – Checked by 
default.  Uncheck to stop 
sending Management SAPs.     
Retransmit Time -- 10 by default.  The retransmit time set in the EtherneTV-STB must be 
less than the SAP timeout value set in VBDirectory.  The VBDirectory default timeout value 
is set at 25 seconds. 
Group Name – Blank by default, this parameter defines the Group Name for this box.   It is 
an optional setting used for organizing VBrick appliances into groups to simplify use of 
VBDirectory. 
Unit Number – Blank by default.  If the Group Name parameter is not blank, this parameter 
must be filled with a numerical value.  This value is used to sort the EtherneTV-STB and 
other VBrick appliances within the user created group. 
Time To Live  64 by default.  The number of routers (hops) the Management SAP is 
permitted to pass through before expiring. 
Type of Service – 0 by default.  This is an eight bit field that is assigned to request special 
handling of traffic.
