Introduction

Introducing the Digital Content ManagerGeneralThe Digital Content Manager (DCM) is a compact MPEG processing platform capable of supporting extremely high numbers of video stream processing. This platform provides a 1U system, called Cisco DCM Series D9901 Digital Content Manager, and two 2U system, called Digital Content Manager (DCM) Model D9900 and Cisco DCM Series D9900 Digital Content Manager. The following illustration depicts a Cisco DCM Series D9901 Digital Content Manager, a Cisco DCM Series D9900 Digital Content Manager, and a Digital Content Manager (DCM) Model D9900.

The Cisco DCM Series D9901 Digital Content Manager provides two I/O slots and the Digital Content Manager (DCM) Model D9900 and Cisco DCM Series D9901 Digital Content Manager four I/O slots.30 4011746 Rev W

Introducing the Digital Content Manager

Each I/O slot can be populated with: an ASI Interface Card containing 10 ASI ports an ASI SFN Interface Card containing eight ASI ports and two GPS reference signal inputs an GbE Interface Card containing two pairs GbE ports a Transcoder Card or an IP Video Gateway Card (Cisco DCM Series D9901 Digital Content Manager only). The IP Video Gateway Card exists in a GbE version and a 10GbE version containing 2 GbE or 2 10GbE ports, 6 SDI ports, a reference input port, and a monitoring output port. These devices provide hot swappable and redundant power supplies. A more detailed description of these devices together with technical specifications of the housing and equipment can be found on the data sheet of the corresponding device.

Introduction

Introducing the Web Browser User InterfaceAbout the Web Browser User InterfaceThe web browser user interface of the DCM is a pure HTML based Graphical User Interface (GUI) that can be opened using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher or Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or higher. By entering the IP address of the DCM in the address box of the internet explorer web browser, the web browser user interface of the device will be opened. The following illustration shows the opening page (Login page) of the DCM GUI.

Notes: The procedure to log on the web browser user interface can be found in topic Web Browser User Interface Security on page 41. The Login page of the DCM can be provided with additional information. More information concerning the Login page information can be found in topic Login Page Information on page 47.

Introducing the Web Browser User Interface

Using the Context Sensitive Online HelpThe web browser user interface of the DCM is provided with a context sensitive online help. This online help can be opened by pressing the Help link on the right-hand side of the header pane. Pressing the help ( ) button on a particular item on the web browser user interface opens the online help with information for that item.

Browsing through a TreeThe incoming and outgoing services of the DCM as well as the DCM configuration are represented using trees. You can browse through a tree by collapsing or expanding branches. A branch that can be expanded is indicated by a + sign and an expanded branch is indicated by a - sign. To expand a branch, point to the + sign in front of the branch.

To collapse a branch, point to the - sign in front of the branch.

Using Short-Cut MenusParticular branches in a tree are provided with a short-cut menu. A short-cut menu can be activated by right-clicking on the branch.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Some of the short-cut menu options carry out commands immediately, and other options display a sub page so that additional parameters can be entered or checked.

Using the Apply and Reload Command ButtonParticular pages and sub pages of the web browser user interface of the DCM can be provided with a Reload command button and an Apply command button.

When changes are made to settings on a certain page or sub page, clicking on the Apply command button will send these new settings to the DCM. Note: When settings are changed on multiple pages or sub pages, only the settings on the page or sub page for which the Apply command button is pressed, are sent to the DCM. When settings are accidentally changed on a certain page or sub page, clicking on the Reload command button restores these settings to the previous settings as long as the Apply command button on this page or sub page is not pressed. The Reload command button can also be used to update readouts on the page or sub page to which the command button belongs to.

Image LegendA description of the icons used by the web browser user interface of the DCM can be found on the help - Legend sub page. The following procedure explains how to display the help - Legend sub page. 1 On the web browser user interface of the DCM, point to the Legend link that appears after clicking on the Help link. Result: The help - Legend sub page is displayed.

4011746 Rev W

Introducing the Web Browser User Interface

Using Popup WindowsParticular information is given by the DCM using popup windows. When popup blocking software is active on your PC, these popup windows might be blocked. In this case a message box is displayed.

Deactivate this popup blocking software if you use the web browser user interface of the DCM.

About Web Browser ToolbarsSome toolbars for web browsers (for example the Google Toolbar) offer an automated form fill in option. This option tries to fill in some fields in forms on web pages that were already visited once in the past (for example to automatically fill in name and address if possible). Because the embedded user interface of the DCM consists of pages with large forms this feature can slow down your page considerably. Therefore it is recommended to disable this option when you work with the DCM GUI.

Displaying the About WindowThe version of the software package installed on the DCM can be found on the About popup window of the user interface. The following procedure explains how to open this popup window. 1 On the web browser user interface of the DCM, point to the About link that is located at the right hand side of the header pane. Result: The about popup window is displayed.

Web Browser User Interface Security

Web Browser User Interface SecurityIntroductionTo prevent people from gaining access to the DCM, the web browser user interface of the DCM is provided with a security feature. This security feature confirms the identity of the users who are attempting to access the device, protects the device configuration from inappropriate access by users, and provides a simple and efficient way to set up and maintain the security of the DCM. To configure the DCM security, Security Accounts should be defined. A Security Account consists of a unique user name with password. By adding Security Accounts to Security Groups, particular access permissions and rights can be given to users. Three Security Groups are defined each having a different access level: Guests: read-only access Users: read-write access (without security configuration) Administrators: full control (with security configuration) The security of the DCM is provided with three pre-defined User Accounts. The table below shows these pre-defined accounts.User Name Guest User Administrator Password Guest User Administrator Security Groups Guests (read-only access) Users (read-write access, without security configuration) Administrators (full control)

Notes: Both the User Name and Password are case-sensitive. Similar user names cannot be used, even when uppercase and lowercase characters are combined, for instance user and User. For security reason each action done to the DCM using the web browser user interface will be logged into the Security Log or Action Log. More information concerning these logs can be found in topic Viewing Trace Logs on page 972.
