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.
