3  Operating the Equipment   
3.1  Introduction 
The ASI-IP-GTW is configured and controlled locally and remotely 
through a flash-based WEB interface. The only application required on 
the computer to use this interface is a WEB browser (Internet Explorer, 
Mozilla or Opera) and FLASH player 7.0. In order to connect to the user 
interface of the ASI-IP-GTW only enter the IP address of the 
management data port. The default IP address of the management port 
is 10.0.0.10. Please refer to Section 3.2 for information about how to 
change the IP address of the management port using the RS232 
connection.   
If you don’t have FLASH player 7.0 or newer installed on your 
computer, this will be detected and you will be informed to install this 
prior to configuring the ASI-IP-GTW. 
3.2  Changing the IP address of the unit 
The ASI-IP-GTW is configured with IP address 10.0.0.10 for the 
management port. There are two ways to change the IP address of the 
management port: 
1. Connect from a WEB browser and use WEB-interface to set IP 
address of management port (See section 3.5.1). 
2. Connect via RS232 via HyperTerminal (115200kb/s, 8, N, 1, no flow 
control). Type the following command: 
net ipconfig --ip (ip address) --mask (subnet mask) -
-gw (gateway).  
 
Example: 
net ipconfig --ip 10.40.80.100 --mask 255.255.255.0 -
-gw 10.40.80.1  
 
Note: FLASH player 7.0 or newer is required to use the WEB interface 
of the ASI-IP-GTW. 
Note: It is recommended to use Internet Explorer 6.0 or newer. 
The ASI-IP-GTW can be configured to transmit MPEG2 transport 
stream data over an Ethernet link or receive data from an Ethernet 
interface. In IP transmit mode (IP TX), up to 8 DVB ASI inputs are 
provided. In IP receive mode (IP RX), up to 8 DVB ASI output streams 
are provided. An optional mode for bi-directional operation (IP-TXRX) is 
available, where half the DVB ASI ports are used as inputs, and the 
other half as outputs.
