Introduction

Dear Customer, thank you for selecting SnapTV equipment for your IPTV operation. Please

follow this installation manual carefully during installation of your equipment.

1.1 Applicability

This Installation Guide is applicable to

• SnapTV 360GBPX Combo

• SnapTV 360GBPX GW Maxi

• SnapTV 360GBPX GW Classic

• SnapTV 220GBPX GW Mini

• SnapTV nPVR GHI-480

• SnapTV nPVR ISRV-1234A

• SnapTV GHB-B05 VOD Micro

• SnapTV nPVR-ICP-3EG

• Software version: 1.12.*

Some sections are only applicable to some products.

1.2 Target audience

The target audience of this installation manual is personnel who install the applicable systems

in IPTV head-end stations. The reader of this manual is required to have a basic command

line user experience on Linux and preferably basic knowledge about Linux networking.

reading:

System Installation Guide, Release 1.0

•http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4

Also, man pages are part of the SnapTV Linux distribution whenever you need detailed infor-

mation on the command syntax of relevant utilities.

2 Chapter 1. Introduction

CHAPTER 2

Getting started

2.1 First time power up

Connect both power cables to the unit and to 220VAC wall outlets. Switch both switches on the

power supplies to the 1position. Thereafter, switch the unit on by pressing the toggle switch

on the front panel.

2.2 Console login

Attach a VGA cable to a monitor and a standard PS/2 or USB keyboard.

System Installation Guide, Release 1.0

You will need to log in to your equipment in order to deﬁne network speciﬁc information. Enter

username root and password as indicated on the factory settings sheet or deﬁned during the

installation phase if you installed the software yourself.

Example:

localhost login: root

password: ******

If the password is correct, you will have a bash prompt:

localhost ~#

2.3 Setting new passwords

It’s recommended to deﬁne a new root password for your product.

2.3.1 Setting new root password for accessing the terminal

Example:

~# passwd

New UNIX password:

Retype new UNIX password:

passwd: password updated successfully

For more details about the passwd command, type man passwd at the shell prompt.

2.3.2 Creating admin user for accessing the web interface

Example:

~# /opt/snaptv/bin/create_admin_user.pm <username> <password> <real name>

Creating user <username> (admin)with password <pasword>

2.4 Setting keyboard mapping

Keyboard mappings for the console are stored in the ascii text ﬁle /etc/conf.d/keymaps. Use

the nano text editor to change the value called KEYMAP into a value suitable for you. Valid

values for the KEYMAP variables are found in subfolders of /usr/share/keymaps/i386:

~# nano /etc/conf.d/keymaps

Use the arrow keys to navigate in the ﬁle, change the value of the KEYMAP parameter, then

save and exit with Ctrl+X →Y→ENTER. In order to change the keyboard mapping without

having to do a reboot of your system, use the command-line utility loadkeys to load the selected

keyboard mapping. If your keryobard mapping is se to no-latin1 , type:

~# loadkeys no-latin1

Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/no-latin1.map.gz

System Installation Guide, Release 1.0

2.5 Network conﬁguration

2.5.1 Default settings

Your unit has two network interfaces, named eth0 and eth1 as labeled at the rear of the server.

In a typical conﬁguration, eth1 will be used for external connection, providing Internet access,

while eth0 is connected to the local network where the radio and TV channels are to be multi-

casted.

By default, eth0 has it’s IP address set to 10.0.0.5 with netmask set to 255.255.255.0. eth1 is

by default set to get its address, netmask, default gateway and name server using the DHCP

protocol.

You may use the ifconﬁg command to check the IP addressing details associated with each

interface.

Example:

~# ifconfig eth0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:9B:B4:C9:E4

inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

inet6 addr: fe80::208:9bff:feb4:c9e4/64 Scope:Link

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX packets:78771380 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:3232522231 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:344581967 (328.6 Mb)TX bytes:2290143567 (2184.0 Mb)

Interrupt:16

~# ifconfig eth1

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:9B:B4:C9:E5

inet addr:10.0.0.5 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

inet6 addr: fe80::208:9bff:feb4:c9e5/64 Scope:Link

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX packets:59313594 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:1143902 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

RX bytes:1578520300 (1505.3 Mb)TX bytes:209667637 (199.9 Mb)

Interrupt:17

In case the default setup is insufﬁcient for your needs, the following sections describe how to

change the conﬁguration. All changes are made by editing /etc/conf.d/net. More examples for

network setup can be found in /etc/conf.d/net.example.

Example: Default content of /etc/conf.d/net:

# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*

# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,

# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration

# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).

config_eth0=("10.0.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0")

routes_eth0=("-net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0")

Note that no default gateway is assigned to eth0. This is because a default gateway will be

assigned to eth1 if eth1 is used to connect to an external network with automatic conﬁguration

via DHCP.
