Chapter 3 Configuring Platform Parameters
Configuring ISA
indication required by the ISA and the RCAS protocols. This message is sent to the
SRM due to the following:
Provisioning a service
Alarm is raised on the session
A redundancy switch over the session source
Session is missing from the output
Report PMT Section (QuerySessionInfo) - when selected, in QuerySessionInfo, the
PMT packet data is sent to the ISA server.
Out Of Band Mini Carousel - applies to ISA-SDV. Select, in case, the mini carousel is
transmitted to the set-top-box out-of-band and not through the video network. When
you enable this parameter, the device does not raise the alarm Service Missing for
mini carousel sessions.
NOTE: The following parameter applies to SDV sessions that are either shell/bind sessions or create
sessions with port 0 or a port higher than 8 only.
SDV Load-Sharing Ports- applies to ISA-SDV sessions. The input port in the
provisioning message is not indicated. The edgeQAM attempts to receive the input
stream via the input ports indicated in the SDV Load-Sharing Ports box. The default port
is GbE port 1. You can configure up to four GbE input ports to handle up to four
Gigabytes of SDV traffic. The NSG manages the traffic between the selected input
ports. The NSG sends the sessions to the input port for SDV session with less traffic.
If SDV ports are equally loaded with traffic, the device sends the traffic to the ports
according to the sequential order of the port numbers.
NOTE: GbE input port that is selected as an SDV-load sharing port, cannot be a backup port.
NOTE: To view the actual input port, select Applications > SDV > ISA Active Sessions.
3.16.2 Defining Virtual ISA Units
To enable the ISA server to handle the full capacity of QAM-RFs of the edgQAM, use the
virtual IPs for ISA feature. This feature creates virtual IPs only for the use of the ISA server. To
create virtual ISA IPs, do the following:
• Create virtual IPs for ISA - requires to define:
Eth1 Virtual IPs - You can add virtual IPs to ETh1 only. You can add up to 10 Eth1
virtual IPs. Eth1 virtual IPs should be on a subnet other than Eth2 subnet.
GbE Virtual IPs - You can add GbE virtual IPs to any of the active GbE ports. You can
add up to 10 GbE virtual IPs. The physical GbE port is automatically added as one of
the available virtual port IPs and you cannot remove it.
• Associate virtual devices with ISA
3.16.2.1 Creating Virtual IPs for ISA
To create Eth1 virtual IP
1. Open the web client of the device.
2. Select the Platform tab.
3. In Back Panel View, select Eth1.
