Chapter 3 - Operations 6

Connecting to the Adtec edje4000 AVC Encoder

Before you configure your encoder, you will need to establish a connection.

The default IP is 192.168.10.48.

Telnet Connection

To connect to your Adtec edje4000 AVC Encoder using a Telnet connection, attach the unit to your local network and launch a

terminal window. Type telnet and the IPA of the box (ex. telnet 192.168.10.48) and hit enter. Logon with the username "adtec"

and password "none" . Once you are connected, you can begin using the API commands noted in our API documentation to

control your box.

Serial Connection

To use a serial connection with your Adtec edje4000 AVC Encoder , use the terminal kit included with your purchase. This

terminal kit contains a standard ethernet cable and a serial 9 pin adapter. Plug the ethernet cable into the back of your Adtec

edje4000 AVC Encoder using the port labeled COM2. The other end of the ethernet cable should be plugged into the RS232

connector (also part of the terminal kit). The RS232 should then be connected to your computer either directly or with a USB

converter (not included).

Caution: Adtec testers have noted that the use of a USB converter sometimes provides mixed results. A direct connection

with RS232 will serve best. You can use a serial connection utility such as Teraterm or the included eddjeController User

Interface.

Using Teraterm:

PORT: The COM port you select in the application window represents the COM port on your computer that you wish to

communicate from. It is not the COM port number from the back of your unit.

BAUD RATE: The baud rate depends on the connection to the back of the Adtec signEdje. If your terminal kit is connected to

the COM 1 port on the back of the Adtec edje4000 AVC Encoder , your Baud rate is 115200 and you will have access to

diagnostic information. If your terminal kit is connected to the COM 2 port on the back of your Adtec edje4000 AVC Encoder ,

your baud rate will be 38,400. The COM 2 port on the back of the Adtec edje4000 AVC Encoder is used for talking to the

Adtec API.

DATA: Should be set to 8 bit

PARITY: Should be set to none

STOP: Should be set to 1 bit

FLOW CONTROL: Should be set to none.

IP Connection with edjeController

See the section " edjeController" for instructions on downloading the application.•
