1 Introduction

This WEB application provides access to the “Digital to TV” headend (short

DTTV) from a computer, via Ethernet. This way you can configure and control remotely

all the modules that make up the headend.

This web application to control DTTV, should be installed on a Web server on the

PC client. Once it is installed, the headend can be set using a compatible web browser.

You must install the JAVA software.

The remote control allows you to work on the headend from a computer in a more

comfortable way, whether to check the status of signal output, to change the selected

services or for general maintenance. Although some of the parameters are configurable

only from the headend itself, as the IP address or the password.

You can download the latest version of the program from PROMAX website.

2.2 Installation

The DTTV Control software installation is supplied on a memory drive (flash drive

or CD-ROM) or can be downloaded from the page "Firmware and Software" from the

"Downloads" area at the PROMAX web page (www.promaxelectronics.com).

Locate the file (DttvControl-va.b.ccc.exe) and proceed to the installation by

following next steps:

1. Run the file by double clicking on it.

2. Follow the installation wizard that will guide you during the process.

Figure 1.-

3. During installation the program checks if the JAVA software is installed and

the version available. If the configuration is correct you should press any key

to continue the process. In case the configuration is not correct, then the

program installed or updates automatically the JAVA software on your

computer (for the case of Windows Vista 32-bits and 64-bits, the JRE7 is not

automatically installed and the system will pop up a window with the option to

download and install from the JAVA web).

4. After installation the program creates a shortcut icon on the desktop and in

"Start \ All Programs \ PROMAX \ DTTV Control va.b.ccc \". At this address

you can find also access to the uninstall icon (Unistall) and to the reconfigure

icon (Reconfigure).

For Windows 8 the "Start \ Programs" menu is on the "Search" option from

the menu that appears when you bring the mouse to the upper right corner of

the screen. Here you should select "Applications".

NOTE:

If you uninstall the JAVA after installing the program it will appear a JAVA searching

screen. The program should be uninstalled and reinstalled.

When running the program appears a window with the message “Reconfigure if

application does not work”, you should reconfigure the application by using the

"Reconfigure (admin only)". The problem may be due to an automatic update of

JAVA. In any case, if the program gives an operation problem, you should use this

option to reconfigure the system.

In the case of Windows 8 32-bit is necessary to restart the PC after finishing the

installation.

The equipment view affect the whole headend and individual modules.

The view options affect the modules with a specific functionality.

The equipment view are:

Equipment: It is a graphical representation of the set of modules that

make up the headend. It allows you to configure each one of

the modules.

Conflicts: It shows conflicts on the modules configuration.

Read File: It reads a XML file with data about the headend.

Save File: It records the present data from the headend in a XML file.

Logout: It exits the program.

The view options are:

DVB-S/S2

Reception: It shows common characteristics to all the receiving modules

of the satellite.

DVB-T

Reception: It shows common characteristics to all the terrestrial receiving

modules.

DVB-T

WEB CONTROL MANUAL

July 2016 Page 9

The following sections describe in detail each one of the screens.

At the top right of the menu bar there is the status field. This field reports on what

the program is doing at each time.

The possible status are the following ones:

Refreshing fields Takes place when the program is updating the screen with

data from the headend.

Reading fields Takes place when accessing for the first time to a module and

its data is shown on screen.

Writing fields Takes place when the configuration of a module changes and

the new data is sent to the volatile memory of the headend.

Undoing fields Takes place when undoing actions done previously.

Storing

Configuration When it is stored on the non-volatile memory of the headend.

Sometimes it can appear on the menu a symbol of a red floppy-disk (see Fig. 5.-).

This signal indicates that some information has been sent to the head-end and it is in

the volatile memory of the head-end, so if you turn it off, that information sent will be

lost. In addition to this symbol, the program will notify by a message on screen, if you

exit the program without saving the information on the head-end.

ATTENTION: When the program is reading or undoing fields, buttons do not

respond.

In order to edit a value you have to click in a textbox or to choose from the

available options by displaying the menu. The background colour of the textbox

indicates the update status of data, according to the following:

White: The data shown on screen matches de data in the headend.

Orange: The data has been validated and accepted by the program

but it has not been sent to the headend and therefore it does

not match with the headend data.

Gray: The data is only to read and cannot be edited.

Red: The data is in conflict with other data. Only for the View

Options.

3.3 Equipment VIEW

This screen shows a graphical representation of the headend configuration.

Figure 6.-

At the top, the text box shows the Kbps bitrate at the output.

Below this it appears a percentage referred to the busy bandwidth of the output

channel. This percentage it is accompanied by a colour that indicates the state of the

signal. Green when the signal is correct, yellow when it is possible that a peak of the

input signal saturates the channel or red if the signal is too big or small.

A red point above a module indicates that exists an error in the process, and

therefore some of the LEDs of warning at the module are ON.

The signal status is at the top of the module (terrestrial or satellite). The icons that

identify each state are:

Locked.

Not locked.

Unknown state.

Process failure.

In the case of a IP module:

: Ethernet network disconnected.

WEB CONTROL MANUAL

July 2016 Page 11

Acquiring services.

The CAM card state is displayed above the module. The icons that identify each

state are:

: Card connected and working.

: Card inserted but not working properly.

No icon: Card not detected.

For satellite receiving modules:

: LNB shortcut.

In the central part of the screen is displayed the configuration of the headend.

Each slot is occupied by a module. An Slot is defined as a physical hole where you can

place a module. A module can be single or double type. A double module has two

independent modules, module 1 and module 2. Both modules are identical and have

the same features although they are set independently. Double modules are

represented on screen as a module divided by a vertical line at the top. The left part

shows the state of the module 1 and the right part the state of the module 2.

When a module is not recognised or there is a hole between two modules, it is

represented by a module marked with a red cross as show in the figure

.

If you place the cursor on a module and wait for a while, then it appears a tag with

the firmware version of the module.

If it appears a module with orange background colour it means that module data

at the program do not match with module data at the headend.

If you can not complete the operation to load or save the configuration

(Figure 7.-), you should do it again and if the problem persists, you should check the

head-end configuration and the content of the xml file (if the problem is when loading)

or permissions (if the problem is when saving).

Figura 7.-

WEB CONTROL MANUAL

Page 12 July 2016

When there is an internal failure in the module, it appears a message like the

following figure. To see failure details click on the word "Details".

Figure 8.-

You can access the configuration of the module by clicking on it. Once inside you

can change its parameters (see "Module Details"). If you have any doubt about a

parameter, consult the specific manual of the module.

At the bottom of the headend graphical representation appears the links between

module, receivers and transmitters.

At the bottom there are 4 buttons for the following functions:

Undo All: It undoes all the changes not send to the headend.

Update PC: It consults the fields data from the headend and refreshes them

on screen. If there is some change without accepting, the data

disappears when superposing data from the headend.

Reconfigure

equipment: It sends the changes to the volatile memory of the headend. After

the reconfiguration, all modules should be with a white

background. If any module has an orange background, it means

that some errors have occurred, usually happens when the

module unlocks.

Store equipment

configuration: It saves the data in the non-volatile memory of the headend.

3.3.1 Module Detail

To access the details of a module that appears in the equipment view just click on

it. Next there is a detailed window of the module that is divided into two areas: a header

and field editing area.

WEB CONTROL MANUAL

July 2016 Page 13

Figure 9.- Example of a module detail for DT-324.

The header shows the module identification name (DT-324). Then a drop-down

menu allows you to select the module (if double, you have two modules, if simple only

one). Next to it, there are two buttons, which are common to all modules. These are:

- Update PC:

It updates the fields that the user has NOT modified with the headend

value.

- Reconfigure module:

It saves the changes on the volatile memory of the headend.

Next to these two buttons are others depending on the module you are. These

buttons provide access to editable fields related to the parameters of the module. These

are:

Transmission fields: For transmodulators modules/slots and audio/video

encoders.

Reception fields: For transmodulators modules/slots and modules / slots with

services balancing functionalities connected to two

modulators.
