Introducing the DSR-4450 and DSR-4470

DSR-4470

Overview
The ARRIS DSR-4450 and DSR-4470 are Commercial Integrated Receiver / Decoders (IRDs), designed for
broadcasters and headend operators for receiving digital satellite services in both high-definition (HD) and
standard-definition (SD).
These two units process a single transport stream from either of the two RF input ports, or from the
Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) input port, or from either of two Ethernet ports.
The DSR-4450 decrypts and decodes a single service to generate analog audio/video. The DSR-4470
decrypts and decodes a single service to generate both analog and/or digital audio/video. The two units
generate a PID-aliased single-program transport stream or passthru a full transport stream on ASI and/or
Gigabit Ethernet outputs.
The supported output interfaces (Composite, Gigabit Ethernet, and ASI) provide connectivity to existing
headend equipment for easy installation and deployment. The unit also supports DigiCipher® Streaming
Services for program delivery through Internet Content Distribution Networks.
The DSR-4470 also has an HD/SD SDI output port for high-quality digital output.
This document describes the unit at firmware version 0x34CeXX. To verify the firmware version, press Menu
several times until the Main Menu appears, press  to highlight System, press OK , press  to highlight
Firmware, press OK , and verify that the Version field displays 0x34CeXX. To view the firmware version
remotely, see the graphic below step 5 on page 97.

Installation

Overview
Use this chapter with the ARRIS DSR-4450 and DSR-4470 at firmware version 0x34CeXX.
The instructions in this section describe how to install the unit and access the Operator Guide.
The information in this chapter is the same content as the ARRIS DSR-4450 / DSR-4470 Installation Guide.

Rack Mounting Guidelines

The DSR-4450 and DSR-4470, with the supplied mounting brackets, is designed for installation in an EIA
standard 19-inch (480 mm) equipment rack. If multiple units are installed in a rack assembly, the operator
may choose to have a certification agency evaluate the condition of the rack. Place each unit in a stable and
level position within the rack and ensure that all front-enclosure screws are tightened to 14 in-lbs.

Mechanical Loading
The mounting rack location should be secure and level to avoid hazardous instability to the equipment due
to uneven loading or weight distribution within the rack.

Ambient Temperature
When installing a unit within a closed or multi-unit rack, the ambient temperature may be greater than the
ambient temperature within the room. Therefore, verify that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation is not compromised (maximum temperature for the equipment is 40° C [104° F]). Consideration
should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature for the unit’s location when planning for cooling
and air circulation. To evacuate the unit’s warm air output from within the mounting rack, ARRIS
recommends the use of a fan on top of the rack.

Circuit Overloading
If the unit is connected to a power strip, rather than a branch circuit’s direct connection, use special care to
ensure that the unit is properly connected. Always consider the affect that overloading circuits might have
on over-current protection and supply wiring. To ensure that circuits are not overloaded, read the unit’s
UL regulatory power label on top of the unit. Check all equipment power/amperage ratings to ensure the
mounting rack power rating is not exceeded.

Network Setup
To determine if there is a need to configure the Ethernet ports

1. Consider the following bullets:

• If you plan to distribute video services via the unit’s GigE ports, you will need to configure the
Ethernet ports (Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2) for the subnets at your site.

• If you have not yet downloaded the Operator Guide PDF file from the unit to a PC, you will need to
configure the Control port for your site.

• If you plan to use a web browser to review the unit’s Configuration Diagram, you will need to
configure the Control port for your site.

IMPORTANT: When planning the configuration of the Ethernet ports on the back panel, always make
sure that each Ethernet port has a unique subnet address.

2. If it is necessary to configure one or more Ethernet ports, contact your site’s system administrator for
the following information. For non-DHCP configurations, write the information in Table 3. This
information will be used when you configure the Ethernet ports.

IMPORTANT: By default, the Ethernet 1 port is configured to use a DHCP server for all IP address
information. If the IP address information is not resolved by the DHCP server, the IP Address is set
to 0.0.0.0.

However, when Ethernet 1 port uses the Static option, the operator will manually-define all IP address
information for the Ethernet 1 port. (See Table 3, above). If the Static option is specified and the IP Address
information is not entered, the factory-defined IP address information (shown in Table 4) will remain active.

For details about the DHCP option and the Static option, see "Host Config" on page 38.

DHCP Supported Parameters and Auto-Fill Capabilities

DHCP auto-fill capabilities may be used for both video distribution schemes:
• Satellite Video Distribution
• CDN Video Delivery
By default, the IRD employs the Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) for automatic configuration of the
Ethernet 1 port. The affiliate’s public network access device (e.g., gateway) or Internet Service Provider
(ISP) network should provide a DHCP server(s) for configuring (leasing) address assignments to the IRD.
Table 5 lists the DHCP parameters that are supported by the DSR-4450 and DSR-4470.
The Mandatory column in Table 5 shows two designations (Yes and No). Yes means the parameter must be
properly defined at the DHCP server for the IRD to function properly. No means that the parameter can be
defined at the DHCP server (or not). For more details about DHCP configuration, see Figure 45 on page 60.

Table 5: DHCP Parameters Supported By The DSR-4450 and DSR-4470

Parameter Description Mandatory
IP Address IP Version 4 Address Yes
Subnet Mask IP Version 4 Mask Yes
Gateway Default Gateway Yes
DNS Server Domain Name Server - Up to two are supported. No

Chapter 5: Using the Web GUI to Configure IP Parameters

DHCP Implementation
When implementing DHCP, ARRIS recommends using a customer-provided DHCP server to auto-fill the
following fields:
• IP Address for Ethernet Port 1 (the input port)
For a typical configuration (addressing only the unit’s input port), the Subnet Mask and Gateway IP
Address must be added.
• DNS Server IP Address(es)
At least one DNS Server IP address is required.
• NTP Server IP Address(es)
At least one NTP Server IP address is required.
Once the DHCP server is configured to provide these IP addresses and information, the unit can be powered up to
auto-acquire each of the necessary settings for Ethernet port 1. Figure 46 shows an example of how the unit uses
the default settings for Ethernet port 1 to auto-fill the necessary fields in the Network submenu.
These settings can be performed using the IRD’s front-panel menu system (shown below) or from the Web GUI
(shown in Figure 45 on page 60).

NETWORK Regarding the Host Config field, the DHCP option instructs the IRD to
Ethernet 1 DHCP employ DHCP to auto-fill the IP Address field, Subnet Mask, and

Chapter 9: Configuring CDN Streaming Services

Network Requirements
The DSR-4450 and DSR-4470 requires a minimum link rate of 100 Mbps (1 Gbps is recommended).
For important details about how to plan a DHCP implementation, see "DHCP Supported Parameters and
Auto-Fill Capabilities" on page 61.
The following protocols must be permitted and supported by the network access device and ISP for proper
IRD operation:
• ARP
• DHCP
• DNS
• HTTP
• HTTPS
• NTP - Access to NTP is mandatory. If no NTP server is specified, IRD will attempt to obtain time
through time.nist.gov and pool.ntp.org.

Procedures
The Programmer ID can be configured using the front panel (described below) and using the Web GUI
(described on page 86). For related topics, see "Displaying an IRD’s DigiCipher Service Streaming Status"

Managing Overlays

Introduction
With the use of an incoming SCTE-35 splice-insert stream from the Programmer (with the splice_immediate_flag
is set to '1'), the IRD has the ability to display overlay images during live broadcast.
The images are installed in the IRD by the downlink staff and activated by the Programmer’s encoder that
supports SCTE-35 ad insertion capabilities.
Use the Overlay Screen to install up to four overlay images. In some cases, the Programmer will supply the
downlink facility with the overlay image files and the associated settings. In other cases, the downlink personnel
are responsible for the image files and the associated settings. The IRD supports PNG-32 file types with
embedded opaque and transparent imagery. Overlay requests include a specified duration. Once the duration is
reached, the IRD automatically clears the overlay.

Loading Overlay Images

To load Overlay images

1. Verify that the overlay image files are placed in the directory that you desire.

2. Verify that image files are of type PNG-32.

3. Go to the System pulldown menu and choose Overlay.

4. When the Overlay screen appears (as shown in Figure 58 on page 92), go to the Overlay table, choose which
position to load (positions 1 to 4), and use the mouse to select the Click to load image file button.

5. When the dialog box appears, select the Browse button, navigate to the proper directory, choose the file, and
select Submit.

6. When the following dialog boxes appear, select OK.

7. When the image appears in the Overlay table, adjust the image placement (where the image is displayed on
the television screen). To do this, use the mouse to adjust the values for Horizontal Offset and Vertical Offset.

Tip: Another way to place the image on the screen is to double-click the image, use the mouse to adjust the
placement, and select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window.

8. Edit the Event ID and Display Mode as needed. For descriptions of each parameter, see Table 12.

9. When all settings are complete, select Save.

10. When the Confirmation box appears, select OK.

Note: Figure 58 describes parts of the Overlay table and how the IRD handles concurrent overlay requests.

IMPORTANT: Once an image files is saved to the IRD, it resides in the IRD until it is cleared via the web GUI.
Performing a power cycle will retain all image files for future use. However, performing a factory reset will clear
all image files from the IRD.

Upgrading Firmware Using the Web GUI

Introduction
Normally, firmware upgrades are performed automatically by the Programmer. This uplink process affects a
specific group of IRDs, all at one time. Occasionally, it may be necessary to perform a manual firmware upgrade
on an individual unit. This chapter describes the Web GUI’s System Upgrade screen and how to perform a manual
firmware upgrade on an individual unit.

IMPORTANT: If it is necessary to upgrade the IRD’s firmware version using a personal computer (PC),
do not attempt this on your own. Contact ARRIS Product Support (described on page 16) in order to receive
a firmware file and any specific details that are not described in this chapter.

When the IRD is initially powered on, the Web GUI System Upgrade screen shows one firmware file version
number. This is the factory-loaded firmware file image and it has an Active designation of true.

Chapter 11: Upgrading Firmware Using the Web GUI

The example on page 95 shows one firmware file. The active file always has the designation of true .
If a second firmware file is loaded, it is listed below the first line and has a designation of false .
The Activate Firmware File section will never display more than two firmware files at a time.
If you receive a new firmware file from an ARRIS representative, you will be directed to put the file on a
personal computer (on the same subnet as the Control port) and then browse to the file location and submit
the file. This will download the file to the IRD. When the download is complete, the Upgrade File section
shows a second version number with a designation of false.
If two files are listed and the user loads yet another firmware file, the inactive file (the file on the bottom line
with the designation of false) will be deleted from the IRD and therefore, removed from the list. At this
point, the newly-loaded firmware file is added to the list with a designation of false .
Selecting/highlighting the firmware file with the false designation and clicking the Activate button
will automatically:
• Save the current database and attach it to the newly-activated firmware. This is referring to the database
that contains all site-specific data that was entered from the IRD’s front panel (or Web GUI) and from
the Programmer (BNC Client GUI).
• Reverse the true/false designations of the two firmware versions.
• Reboot the IRD with the newly-activated file.

Verify PC Minimum Requirements

Before performing an upgrade, use the following table to verify that the personal computer meets the
minimum requirements.

Characteristic Personal Computer Minimum Requirement

Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core2 Dual-Core
Ethernet Connectivity One 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) Base-T Ethernet Card

Performing an Upgrade
Use the following procedure to upgrade firmware on a single unit.

To upgrade the IRD’s firmware version

1. Verify that you have received a firmware file from an ARRIS representative, and you have saved it to
your personal computer.

2. Verify that your personal computer is on the same subnet as the IRD’s Control port.

3. Open an Internet browser window and type the Control port’s IP address in the web browser's Address
Bar. ARRIS recommends using Chrome or Firefox.

For example, type 192.168.0.100 and press ENTER.
