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 aterminal 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 tocontrol your box.

Serial Connection

To use a serial connection with your Adtec edje4000 AVC Encoder , use the terminal kit included with your purchase. Thisterminal kit contains a standard ethernet cable and a serial 9 pin adapter. Plug the ethernet cable into the back of your Adtecedje4000 AVC Encoder using the port labeled COM2. The other end of the ethernet cable should be plugged into the RS232connector (also part of the terminal kit). The RS232 should then be connected to your computer either directly or with a USBconverter (not included).

Caution: Adtec testers have noted that the use of a USB converter sometimes provides mixed results. A direct connectionwith RS232 will serve best. You can use a serial connection utility such as Teraterm or the included eddjeController UserInterface.

Using Teraterm:

PORT: The COM port you select in the application window represents the COM port on your computer that you wish tocommunicate 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 tothe COM 1 port on the back of the Adtec edje4000 AVC Encoder , your Baud rate is 115200 and you will have access todiagnostic 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 theAdtec 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.• See the section " edjeController Window" for connection instructions.•

(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive butdoes not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from theProgram, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as partof a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whosepermissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent isto exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mereaggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volumeof a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form underthe terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the termsof Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your costof physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to bedistributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative isallowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with suchan offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plusthe scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source codedistributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompaniesthe executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalentaccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties arenot compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Anyattempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rightsunder this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have theirlicenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission tomodify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of thisLicense to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a licensefrom the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not imposeany further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcingcompliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patentissues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of thisLicense, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously

Appendix 44

your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute theProgram at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those whoreceive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrainentirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particularcircumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in othercircumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or tocontest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distributionsystem, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide rangeof software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor todecide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. Thissection is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitationexcluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, thisLicense incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time.Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which appliesto it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any laterversion published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, youmay choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write tothe author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the FreeSoftware Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving thefree status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TOTHE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHTHOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHEREXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITYAND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THEPROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALLNECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHTHOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTEDABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL ORCONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUTNOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU ORTHIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCHHOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this isto make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to mosteffectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where thefull notice is found.

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name ofauthor>

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU GeneralPublic License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at youroption) any later version.

45 Appendix

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without eventhe implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNUGeneral Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write tothe Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NOWARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it undercertain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General PublicLicense. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; theycould even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for theprogram, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passesat compilers) written by James Hacker. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is asubroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what youwant to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
