2.4.2 ASI ports 
The ASI-IP-GTW provides up to 8 DVB ASI ports. The unit can be 
delivered with 4 or 8 DVB ASI connectors. For the 4 ASI port version, 1, 
2, 3 or all 4 ports can be enabled. 
The operator can configure the unit as an IP transmitter, an IP receiver, 
or to IP bi-directional operation. In the IP transmitter mode, all enabled 
ASI ports are configured as DVB ASI inputs. In the IP receive mode, the 
ASI ports are configured as DVB ASI outputs. In IP bi-directional mode, 
half the DVB ASI ports are used as inputs, the other half as outputs 
(see 2.2.6)
