settings. 
3 Click Apply. 
4 Click Save. 
5 Reboot the device.  
Note: The management port IP address is not dynamically configurable, thus 
reboot/power-cycle is required after changes. 
To Configure the Conditional Access (CA) Port IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway 
1 Navigate to the System/IP Network page. 
Result: The IP Network page is displayed. 
 
Note: The CA port is only used for scrambling when the EIS and or ECMG 
equipment is on a separate network. 
2 Set the Port Control to On. The default setting is Off. 
3 In the appropriate field, change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default 
Gateway settings. 
4 Click Apply. 
5 Click Save. 
6 Reboot the device.  
Note: The CA port IP address is not dynamically configurable, thus 
reboot/power-cycle is required after changes.

Network Connectivity Testing 
Each of the four physical GbE input ports will respond to PING.  Since the GbE 
input ports are not configurable for default gateway, a static route to the source 
network of the PING must be added to the GbE port to facilitate PING responses 
over layer 3 networks.  Static routes can be added via the GUI, using the 
System/ARP & Routes page.  
Configuring Static Routes 
To Configure Static Routes 
1 Navigate to the System/ARP & Routes page. 
Result: The ARP & Routes window is displayed. 
 
2 In the Route Table window, use the drop-down box to select desired GbE input. 
3 In the Static Route Entry window, enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask for the 
network or host. 
4 Click Add to add the static route. 
5 Click Save.

Configuring QAM Output 
This section provides information for configuring the Quad Channel QAM Card. 
Using the QAM web page and its sub-menus, the operator can verify and configure: 
 QAM card presence 
 QAM output control (i.e., mute vs. unmute) 
 Carrier parameters (i.e., frequency, spacing, and modulation) 
 Channel Application Mode (i.e., video vs. data)

Card Presence 
The RF Gateway 1 chassis can be populated with up to six QAM line cards. 
To Verify QAM Card  
1 Navigate to the QAMS page. 
2 In the tree menu, select the desired QAM card. 
Result: The web view indicates the status of the QAM card. 
  
Enabling QAM Port 
The RF Gateway 1 QAM line cards have two ports, with four RF output carriers per 
port.  Outputs are enabled/disabled from the port level as well as from the 
individual carrier level.  A global setting for a port must first be enabled, then 
individual carriers within the port can be independently muted or unmuted as 
desired. 
To Enable QAM Port 
1 Navigate to the QAMS page. 
2 In the tree menu, select the desired Card/RF Port. 
Result: The RF Port Configuration window is displayed. 
 
3 In the Port Control field, set the parameter to On.
