Operating Temperature Limits

Introduction
The Continuum DVP D9600 Re-multiplexer is designed to operate within a specified
operating temperature range of 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F). More specifications of the
D9600 series Re-multiplexer can be found in Appendix A, Technical Specifications.

WARNING:
Avoid damage to the Continuum DVP D9600 Re-multiplexer. Your warranty is
void if you operate this product above the maximum specified operating
temperature.

Operating Environment
We recommend the following activities to moderate the operating temperature:
• Mount additional components, such as combiners and net strips, at the back of the
19-inch equipment rack, so that the free airflow between the sides of the unit and
the rack is not restricted.
• Mount ventilation profiles at the bottom and top of the 19-inch equipment rack.
This allows the fresh air to enter and the hot air to leave the rack.
• Place the 19-inch equipment rack in a conditioned room with a temperature below
25°C (77°F).

Using the IP Configuration Tool


The IP Configuration tool is a Scientific-Atlanta software tool that allows changing
the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway settings from a remote location.
This tool uses a multicast protocol to establish communication with IP devices
connected to the network and the PC running the software tool.
An IP Configuration server is installed on the D9600 and starts running at startup.
The client runs on a remote PC connected via an IP network to the D9600. When the
client starts the Scientific-Atlanta IP Configuration tool, it lists all available servers
supporting the protocol. You can configure all these devices with the tool.
The Scientific-Atlanta IP Configuration tool is available on the Configuration Tools
CD, part number 4000976.
Notes:
• You can only use the 10BT Ethernet port for IP configuration with the IP
Configuration Tool.
• Connect your remote computer and re-multiplexer to the same network without
any L3 routers in-between.
• Because only one gateway address can be assigned to both Ethernet ports, you
should configure the ports as follows:
− Configure the Ethernet port of which the gateway does not belong to the subnet.
During configuration, use a fictitious gateway address that belongs to the
subnet.
− Configure the Ethernet port of which the gateway should belong to the subnet
Example: Configuration of the Ethernet ports with the IP Configuration Tool

Parameter 10BT 10/100BT
