Introduction

This installation & configuration quick user guide provides the installations for the Embrionix

SDI to IP coaxial gateway SFP+ (emSFP). These gateway modules are hot-swappable devices

that plug into a 10GE MSA SFP slot; 10GE (2022-6) signal is received/transmitted on host

interface.

Figure 1. SDI to IP coaxial gateway

Overview

The SFP+ (emSFP) modules are hot-pluggable I/O devices that plug into sockets (SFP/SFP+).

Required tools

ESD-preventive wrist strap

Installing SFP+ modules

Step 1

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector or a

bare metal surface on your chassis.

Step 2

Remove the SFP transceiver module from its protective packaging.

Step 3

Position the SDI to IP coaxial gateway SFP+ in front of the empty cage.

Step 4

Insert the SFP+ like the following pictures.

Figure 2. SDI to IP coaxial gateway insertion

Note

Ensure the ejector is at rest position before inserting the SFP+ in the cage.

Step 5

Press the SFP+ until you feel the connector latch into place.

Step 6

Verify the SFP+ is seated and latched properly by grasping the SFP+ and try to remove it

without releasing the latch.

Removing SFP+ modules

Note

The SFP and SFP+ are static sensitive devices. It is recommended to use an ESD wrist strap or

similar grounding device when handling the modules.

Step 1

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector or a

bare metal surface on your chassis.

Step 2

Release and remove the transceiver module from the socket connector, as shown in

next figure (Step 2a) push the ejector gently in a slightly upward direction until the transceiver

disengages from the socket connector, and then pull the SFP transceiver module straight out
(Step 2b).

Figure 3. SDI to IP coaxial gateway extraction

Connecting SDI signals to the SDI to IP gateway

Step 1

nsure that the SFP+ is seated and latched properly.

Step 2

Connect the HD-BNC by pushing the HD-BNC inside the connector (Step 2a), and then

turn (clockwise) the HD-BNC to lock the cable (Step 2b) as shown in the next figure.

Note

Supported SDI format as of publication of this manual : 1080p50/59/60, 1080i50/59/60,

720p50/59/60, 525i59, 625i50. Other rates have not been tested yet.

Configuring the SDI to IP gateway by the 10GE network

Note

Steps described below are an

example

of a possible connection and tool to use to configure

the

Gateway SFP

. One may have other solution to connect an application to send JSON commands

to the

Gateway SFP

on the 10GE link.

Step 1

Insert the

Gateway SFP

into the 10GE host.



At that point, there should be a link established for the

Gateway

SFP (status led

on the 10GE host).

EB22 Family

IP-SDI gateway SFP+

User Guide

Document version 0.4

Note

Gateway SFP

(encapsulator and decapsulator) can take up to

10sec

to establish

the link on cold boot.

Step 2

Insert an 1GE RJ45 SFP into the 10GE/1GE equipment.

Step 3

Connect a 1GE-enabled PC to the 1GE RJ45 SFP.



At that point, there should be a link established between the PC and the RJ45

SFP (status led on the switch).

Step 4

Configure the PC’s Lan Adapter to be on the same subnet as the

Gateway SFP

Step 5

Using Windows Command Prompt, ping your

Gateway SFP



Encap :

192.168.39.215



Decap :

192.168.39.216

Note

Depending on the 10GE equipment configuration, it may have traffic contention between

10GE/2022-6 traffic and 1GE/management traffic (for API access). For first tests, we recommend to
have only management traffic in the 10GE equipment.

Step 6

Start

document for the complete

description of readable/writeable information AND for HTTP requester use.

Step 7

Get 2022-6 configuration from the

Gateway SFP

Specify your

Gateway SFP

address (or hostname: emsfp-a0-xx-xx, where the xx-xx are

the last digits of the

SFP

MAC address found on the label).

Press

GET

button



Command answer will be displayed on the right.

Step 8

Change 2022-6 configuration of the

Gateway SFP

Specify your

Gateway SFP

address (or hostname: emsfp-a0-xx-xx, where the xx-xx are

the last digits of the

SFP

MAC address found on the label).

Press

GET

button



Command answer will be displayed on the right.

Copy the answer from the right side to the left side text box

button

Note

Shown below is information for decap; encap is a bit different – there is no

pkt_filter_xyz

parameter to manage (item 2 in image below).

Note

Configuration showed below for 2022-6 traffic is used to build / retrieve the packets so both

encap and decap should have the same content based on the decap’s

pkt_filter_xyz

setting. Shown

below is

Updating the SDI to IP gateway (by the internal webpage)

Note

Communication with the SFP+ is only feasible if the network is properly configured and the

computer used to communicate is in the same IP subnet (as shown in previous section).

The

Gateway SFP

possesses a webpage to ease update over the network. This intelligent SFP+

is DHCP ready, if a DHCP exist, the SFP+ will request an IP address and will request an

HOSTNAME in the network. The HOSTNAME is composed like this:

As example an SFP+ gateway with a MAC finishing by 0a-01-dd will have an hostname: emSFP-0a-01-dd

Step 1

Ensure that the link is established between the PC and the

Gateway SFP

(see steps 1 to

7 in previous section).

Step 2

Using Google Chrome on Windows, access the

Gateway SFP

webpage

Type

http://HOSTNAME (or IP address)/config

Step 3

Upload and run a new code

Please refer to the image above.

To upload a new code:

Choose an empty element and click on “Choose File” (button naming is browser

dependent).

Browse to and select the provided

.img

file.

Click on “Upload”. The upload and verification process will take about 30 seconds.

If no empty element is available to upload a new code, you can free one by clicking on “Clear”

and wait until the element is cleared (about 40 seconds).

If the upload process was successful, CRC value will be shown in green for that particular

element. If not, it will be shown in red. In the unlikely later case, click on “Clear” and then repeat

above steps.

To run a new or existing code:

Click on “Set As Default” to select this code as default when inserting or power cycling

the SFP+.

Click on “Load Now” and wait until the page reloads.

Running image is the one marked in green (element number background, 0 on the above

image).

Under some circumstances (slow switch port bring-up time, slow DHCP server response time),

the loading will take more time and the page will not reload by itself.

Allow some more time and

refresh the page manually, up to 1 minute.

Note

Do not remove the SFP+ while uploading a new code or clearing an element.

Note

It is not possible to clear or upgrade the code located in element labeled “Golden”

This

ensures that the product will always have a working code to load.

Troubleshooting the modules

Step 1

If the SFP is accessible for configuration but the video path is not working :

Make sure the

flows

configuration matches between encap and decap.

Make sure to disable IGMP snooping.

For decap, make sure that the

packet filter

selected is well defined so data from only

one encap is selected. For example, if filtering on destination IP, make sure that only

one encap is sending to that specific destination IP.
