User manual for Wireless Multiplex Terminal (WMT)


Hardware version: wmt 5, 6, 5B, 6B, 6C, 7, 7C, 8, 9, 10 and Playout

Power source
Any voltage between 12 and 24 volt like 14.4 volt Li-ion V-Mount cells
Operating system
Embedded Linux
Overall setup
The overall set-up of the WMT depends on the purchased configuration. In case of a point-topoint setup the playout and server are incorporated in the same hardware. For both cases the
primary set-up is identical.
Primary set-up
The primary set-up is the connection of the WMT with the server or server playout. The WMT
connects by a number of UDP channels, one channel for every connection (3G, LAN, 4G, etc).
When the WMT is behind a firewall, ports need to be forwarded. You need 10 ports for every
client that connects.

OPERATING THE WMT CLIENT

This chapter describes the usage of the WMT client by LCD touch screen. This will give you an
interactive way to control the WMT client. The client is divided in multiple interactive pages
which can be opened by using the tabs.
Before you select a tab, be sure the Display Lock is off. Make sure the button on the left-bottom
is turned to green and that it states Display Unlocked. You can scroll the button to the right by
touching it and pulling it to the right. The display is now unlocked and you can start configuring.
When the display is not used for a certain amount of time, it will automatically lock to prevent
changes by accident.

Overview
Picture 2 shows the Overview tab on the LCD touch screen. This screen provides you basic
status information on the individual connections and the sum of the current bandwidth usage.

Picture 2: Overview screen of the WMT.

Viewing the status of a connection


When viewing the status of a connection, the first column represents the signal strength and
operator of the connection. LAN connections1 always show fixed signal strength and no operator
information. The second column consists of the connection number and the connection
technique being used. The third column gives information about the connection status while the
fourth column is providing information about the current speed. As shown in the picture the
third column can give different indications. It shows connected in case everything is correctly
configured and the WMT server/backend is on line. It will show searching when there is no
coverage or aerial connected and config when the pin code is ok, but is unable to connect with
the data network. The most common reason the WMT cannot connect is the wrong APN or user
name and password. When using prepaid, this could mean the connection is out of balance.

Only available on WMTs configured with a second Ethernet port.

connections.

Store & Forward


The Store & Forward function can be used to upload files to a FTP server using the Transport
screen. By inserting an USB-stick you can copy files from the stick to the WMT which will upload
them to the FTP server after you enable Store & Forward in the settings screen (please check
the settings paragraph in this chapter). The FTP server can be configured by the web interface.
At the left you see the content on the placed USB-stick. Select the files you want to upload to the
FTP server and press the blue arrow button. Hold the button until the file you selected appears
at the right screen. You can only upload individual files, uploading complete directories is not yet
supported.

The audio bitrate configures the bitrate used for the audio encoder. The setting should be
between 40000 and 128000. Note that point to point solutions cannot record at all.
The No signal Timeout Frames defines the amount of frames between dropping of the input
signal and the display of the no signal image and beep sound.
Test Frequency, is the frequency in Hz of the no signal tone. Making this zero will remove the
tone from the no signal image.
No signal image
You can change the no signal image by uploading a picture with the following specifications:
PNG image
720 x 576
8-bit/color RGB
Non-interlaced
Audio player

6. PLAYOUT/SERVER
General introduction
The WMT is based on the bundling of several mobile and fixed IP channels into 1. The WMT
multiplexes the encoded video data and the p-t-p playout demultiplexes again. The WMT server
can be behind a firewall or directly connected with the Internet via a public IP number.

Behind a firewall
In case the p-t-p playout is behind a firewall/NAT server it needs to be configured with port
forwards. The following ports need to be opened:
UDP ports from 40000-40160 (6 for every WMT connected)WMT traffic
TCP port 554video connection
TCP port 22 for remote support
UDP port for audio retour 5002 15001
TCP 8080 http streaming, recordings listing
TCP 1935 flash streaming
TCP 7070 7071 7072 Videomanager management acces
In case youre having a hard time figuring out how to forward the ports in your own router
please visit www.portforward.com. Here you can select your own router model and get a step by
step tutorial about how to forward the ports.
The server IP number configured in the WMT should be the public IP number of the Firewall
NAT server.
Opening port 554 makes it possible to retrieve the stream via another playout as well.

Set-up at a public IP number


In case the p-t-p playout is set-up at a public IP number everything is straight forward as
displayed in the figure below. The server IP number configured in the WMT is the same as the
public IP number of the p-t-p playout.

Setting up the hardware


First of all connect the system with 220/110 volt power cord. It is possible to set the IP number
of the playout in two ways: via the front screen or via the laptop. Using the front screen you use
the up down and ok buttons to choose between dhcp and static. When you choose a static ipaddress use the up and down arrow to change the numbers and use the ok buttons to go through
all the settings. Dont forget to confirm the save config option.
Using the laptop follow the next guidelines:
Connect a laptop or other PC directly with the second Ethernet port. The first Ethernet
port is located on the left close to the power supply.
Configure the IP interface of PC with the following IP 198.18.0.50, subnetmask
255.255.255.0
Browse to the following address: http://198.18.0.1

Select server

Video manager
The video manager runs by default on the WMT server. In a dedicated set-up it is also possible
to run the video manager on a separate platform. The Ip number is by default the IP of the WMT
server, the port is by default port 80. In case of a point-to-point setup the videomanager is not
available should not be enabled.

Video player
The video player settings are:
Enabled; enable disable the total set-up
URL: Fill in the url of the stream when the videomanager is not used. In a point-to-point
setup this url should be RTSP://127.0.0.1/wmt-[serial wmt].sdp. See local Sources for
switching the URLs for replay of recordings.
Httptunnel: this is the port number used to fetch the stream from the WMT server via
TCP and packaged as http. This is by default 554 and in case the WMT server is in the
same subnet as the playout (like point-to point) it is recommende to fill in 0 because UDP
will be used with less delay.
Jitter: sets the jitter buffer in mS. By default 200 and depending on the connection
between the server and the playout it can be set higher. Note that this will influence the
total end to end delay.
RTCP sync: This should always be enabled
Videotype: Choices are PAL, VGA, 720p50Hz, 720p59Hz, 720p60Hz, 1080i50Hz,
1080i59Hz, 1080i60Hz and NTSC. Both All settings except VGA send the signal to the SDI
output. VGA setting send the video to the VGA adapter and if mounted the analogue
output. The videotype defines the resolution of the no signal image.
Scaling: In case the video resolution on the input (WMT, 3G-MC) is smaller then D1 this
option will make sure the video is scalled up to meet D1 resolution with aspect ratio
maintained.
Testsound: In case there is not input signal on the playout a no signal picture will be
shown. This option will also enable a 1Khz 0db sound
Analog Audio on: this option enables analogue audio output (line out)
Stream Timeout. Tis option is only used in combination with RS485. When RS 485 signals are
received the playout will start retrieving the video and stop automatically after the time out
period passed.

Duo and quad playout options


The duo and quad playout have a slightly different menu. The extra options will be explained
below.
On a single playout you will have only one Video Player. This is because a normal playout has
only one in and one output. The duo playout can handle two clients at the same time and the
quad can handle four at the same time. In the image below you see a duo playout as an example.
As you can see it is having a Video Player 1 and a Video Player 2.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Quick tips
Set up the WMT client at locations where there is a good reception. Attach a good quality
antenna to every antenna connector to improve reception quality, especially indoors.

Verify basic functioning


After you powered up the WMT client, the following sequence of events should occur:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the power light is on;
2. After approximately 1 minute, verify that:
The LAN port light on the switch/computer is lit for the connected Ethernet cable;
The connections to the server are connected.
Power light not lit
If the Power and other lights are not lit, check the following:
When using a power adapter:
o Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your WMT client and
that the power supply adapter is properly connected to a functioning power
outlet;
o Check that you are using the power adapter supplied by Mobile Viewpoint for
this product.
When using a battery:
o If you are using the WMT client with a battery make sure that the battery is fully
charged.
If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.
LAN or Internet port light not lit
If the LAN or Internet lights on your switch or computer are not lit when the Ethernet
connection is made, check the following:
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at both the WMT client and at
the computer;
Make sure that power is turned on to the connected switch, computer and WMT client;
Be sure you are using correct Ethernet cables.

Problems with connecting to the WMT client


If you are unable to connect to the web interface of the WMT client check the following:
Check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the router as described in the
previous section;
Your computers IP address should be in the range of 198.18.0.10 to 198.18.0.254. Refer
to your computers documentation for help with finding and changing your computers
IP address;
Make sure you are using the correct login information. By default, you dont need to
provide login details. If this is changed, make sure that CAPS LOCK is off when entering
this information;
Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, refresh the page to be sure the page is loaded. Try closing the browser
and launching it again.

Problems with one of the mobile connections


A mobile connection is unable to connect
58

User manual for Wireless Multiplex Terminal (WMT)


Hardware version: wmt 5, 6, 5B, 6B, 6C, 7, 7C, 8, 9, 10 and Playout

Verify that the APN settings for the SIM are correct;
Check if the signal quality of the mobile connection is good enough;
Check if the mobile connection is at least using the technique UMTS or HSDPA. The
bandwidth of a GPRS connection is not enough;
Check that the settings for the WMT server (IP address and port number) are correct.

The mobile connection keeps connecting and disconnecting


This behaviour is an indication that the round trip time of the connection becomes too high and
the connection is temporarily disabled. Once the RTT decreases below the minimum value the
connection is enabled again.
Sending too much traffic causes a high RTT value. Change the profile and/or video resolution to
lower the required bandwidth. If this problem persists check the signal quality and the network
technology of the mobile connection.
