The MMM-4682 and MMX-4682 are part of a family of data transcoders for converting between the commonly
used MPEG2 Transport Stream formats for video distribution in the broadcast industry.
With the MMM-4682 up to four ASI and one RS232 data signals can be combined together and converted into a
155Mb/s G.703 (STM-1) electrical CMI and optical NRZ signals.
The sum of the ASI input payload rates can be anything up to 148 Mb/s. Inputs may be 188 or 204 byte packet
length, burst or continuous, and may have energy dispersal scrambling, interleaving and/or Reed Solomon bytes
included.
The MMX-4682 separates the 155 Mb/s G.703 signal back into the original four ASI signals (at their original rates)
and the RS232 data signal. The ASI outputs are suitable for Single Frequency Network use, in that there is no data
rate conversion or PCR restamping of the ASI streams.
Inputs are automatically equalised for lengths of up to 200m of Belden 8281 or equivalent cable.
RS232 uni-directional data may also be sent on the same link. It can pass rates up to 19.2 kb/s with any
combination of start/stop & parity bits. The data rate does not affect the payload available for the ASI streams.
Front panel indication and relay alarm on the MMM-4682 transmitter shows if there is an input data rate violation.
Corresponding alarm on the MMX-4682 receiver shows a loss of STM-1 input.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is available for monitoring and control when used in an IRT frame
fitted with SNMP capability. Bandwidth capping of channels can be user set so as limit input rates so that
maximum combined input is not exceeded, as well as channels being individually enabled or disabled, via SNMP.
The MMM-4682 and MMX-4682 are designed to fit IRT’s standard Eurocard frames and may be used alongside any
other of IRT’s analogue or digital Eurocards.

Standard features:
Up to 4 ASI and 1 Data stream on one 155 Mb/s (STM-1) G.703 electrical or optical link
Automatic Input equalisation up to 200m
Suitable for Single Frequency Network (SFN) use
Recovers transmitted ASI signal with minimal user setup
Maintains original ASI rate, packet size & coding (energy dispersal scrambling, interleaving or Reed
Solomon bytes)

Installation
Pre-installation:
Handling:
This equipment may contain or be connected to static sensitive devices and proper static free handling precautions
should be observed.
Where individual circuit cards are stored, they should be placed in antistatic bags. Proper antistatic procedures
should be followed when inserting or removing cards from these bags.

Power:
AC mains supply:

Ensure that operating voltage of unit and local supply voltage match and that correct rating
fuse is installed for local supply.

DC supply:

Ensure that the correct polarity is observed and that DC supply voltage is maintained within
the operating range specified.

Earthing:
The earth path is dependent on the type of frame selected. In every case particular care should be taken to ensure
that the frame is connected to earth for safety reasons. See frame manual for details.
Signal earth: For safety reasons a connection is made between signal earth and chassis earth. No attempt should
be made to break this connection.

Installation in frame or chassis:
See details in separate manual for selected frame type.

Connections:
MMM-4682:
ASI Inputs:
Four ASI inputs each with any payload to a combined maximum total payload of 148 Mb/s. That is,
Total payload (148Mb/s maximum) = ASI 1 rate + ASI 2 rate + ASI 3 rate + ASI 4 rate
WARNING:

If the total maximum payload rate is exceeded, all ASI channels will be corrupted unless
channel capping has been set via SNMP control.

ASI inputs may be of 188 or 204 byte packet length, burst or continuous mode, and may have scrambling /
interleaving and Reed Solomon bytes if desired.
ASI inputs are by BNC connectors each terminated in 75Ω. Input cable equalisation is automatic for up to 200m of
high quality 75Ω coaxial cable (Belden 8281 or equivalent). No adjustments are required.
STM-1 Outputs:
1. Two identical STM-1 CMI encoded (equivalent to STM-1 electrical standard) or NRZ (equivalent to STM-1
optical standard, in an electrical form) outputs are provided by BNC connectors with a 75Ω characteristic
output impedance. Only high quality 75Ω coaxial cable (Belden 8281 or equivalent) should be used. No
adjustments are required, but cable must be terminated in 75Ω at the connected load.
2. One STM-1 NRZ encoded (equivalent to STM-1 optical standard) output is provided by an SC/PC
(standard) optical connector.
Alarm Outputs:
Two relay alarm output states are provided via a phoenix style 3-pin plug. Pin 3 is designated as Major, pin 2 is
designated as Minor, and pin 1 is ground. Both alarms are referenced to ground.
Alarm conditions are as follows:
Major switch to Open Circuit on sum of ASI input payload rates in excess of maximum allowable 148Mb/s;
Minor switch to Open Circuit on no valid input ASI streams present.
Both Major and Minor alarms switch to Open Circuit on power failure.

ASI 1, ASI 2 ASI 3 and ASI 4 LEDs correspond to ASI inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. When a valid ASI input is
present corresponding LED will illuminate green.
Should a channel be disabled via SNMP, provided there is a valid input signal present, corresponding LED will flash
on and off.
Likewise, if channel bandwidth capping has been enabled via SNMP and the ASI input rate exceeds the SNMP
settable maximum allowed rate, corresponding LED will flash on and off.
So if any of the ASI LEDs are flashing on and off, then either the corresponding channel has been disabled or the
ASI input rate has exceeded the maximum settable ASI rate with bandwidth capping enabled.
The DATA LED illuminates green when there is an RS232 data port connected and transmitting data.
The OUTPUT LED illuminates RED when the sum of the ASI inputs exceeds the maximum 148 Mb/s allowed with
channel bandwidth capping disabled.

signal, corresponding LED will flash on and off.
The DATA LED illuminates green when there is data present on the RS232 data stream within the STM-1 signal.
The INPUT LED illuminates RED when there is no valid STM-1 input present. Note that switch SW1-3 sets whether
the MMX-4682 is set up for a CMI or NRZ encoded signal on the electrical input, and switch SW1-4 sets whether
the MMX-4682 is set up for electrical or optical input.

SNMP
What Is It?
SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. It is an application layer protocol for managing IP
(Internet Protocol) based systems. SNMP enables system administrators to manage system performance, and to
find and solve system problems. SNMP runs over UDP (User Datagram Protocol), which in turn runs over IP.
Three types of SNMP exist: SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1), SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2) and SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3). It
is not the intention here to discuss the differences between various versions, only to bring attention to the fact
that IRT Electronics modules, fitted with SNMP capability, use SNMPv1.
An SNMP managed network consists of three key components: Network Management Systems (NMS), agents, and
managed devices.
An NMS is the console through which the network administrator performs network management functions, such
as monitoring status (e.g. alarm states) and remote controlling, of a set of managed devices. One or more NMSs
must exist on any managed network. Generally the NMS is a computer running third party SNMP control software.
There are a number of third party SNMP software applications currently available on the market.
An NMS polls, or communicates with, an agent. An agent is a network management software module that resides
in a managed device. An agent has local knowledge of management information and translates that information
into a form compatible with SNMP. The agent, therefore, acts as an interface between the NMS and the managed
devices. The NMS sends a request message, and control commands for the managed devices, to the agent, which
in turn sends a response message, containing information about the managed devices, back to the NMS.
A managed device contains an SNMP agent and resides on a managed network. Managed devices collect and store
management information and make this information available to NMSs using SNMP.
Managed device agent variables are organised in a tree structure known as a Management Information Base
(MIB). Within the MIB are parameters pertaining to the managed device. An Object Identifier (OID) number within
the MIB defines the managed device type. This is a unique number specific to the model of managed device. Other
information relating to the device is also stored, information such as alarm states, controllable settings, etc. The
MIB tree is organised in such a way that there will be no two MIB files with conflicting placements.
Normally an NMS polls an agent for information relating to the MIB in a managed device to be sent back to the
NMS. When certain conditions are met within the MIB, such as major alarm conditions, for example, the agent
automatically sends what is known as a trap to the NMS without any prompting from the NMS. This allows
automatic notification of a predetermined event.

IRT Electronics currently employs SNMPv1 with its SNMP capable frames. The frame acts as an agent when fitted
with a CDM-xxxx module. This module has its own designated slot next to the power supply so as to not affect the
number of modules that the frame will take. Communication between the NMS, the frame and its loaded modules
are via this CDM-xxxx module. Note that the NMS software is third party and not supplied by IRT Electronics.
Ethernet connection for SNMP operation is via an RJ45 connector on the rear of the frame, below the mains inlet.
Ethernet rate runs at either 10 baseT or 100 baseT.
Frame parameters, such as Name, Address and Location, are set via an RS232 interface, a D9 connector on the rear
of the frame below the mains inlet. A software terminal emulator, such as Tera Term or HyperTerminal, is used for
setting and reading the parameters of the frame.
IRT modules that are SNMP compatible need a plug-in SMU-4000 module with a program relevant to the module
that it is plugged into. Depending on the module, besides the module identification, parameters such as alarm
states, inputs and controls etc. are communicated to the CDM-xxxx agent via a data bus on the rear of the frame.
Thus the CDM-xxxx collects information on what is loaded within the frame, what positions they occupy, and their
current status for communication to the NMS when the NMS sends a request for information.
In the event of a major alarm from any of the SNMP compatible modules, or power supplies, a trap is automatically
sent by the CDM-xxxx agent to the NMS without any prompting by the NMS. This alerts the operator to any fault
conditions that may exist that need immediate attention.

MMM-4682 & MMX-4682 SNMP Functions:
As both the MMM-4682 and MMX-4682 are compatible with the earlier models MMM-4681 and MMX-4681, they
share the same MIBs. Current MIB names for both are IRT4681&2MMM-MIB.my and IRT4681&2MMX-MIB.my.
The following SNMP functions are capable of being controlled and monitored by an SNMP Network Management
System (NMS):

MMM-4682:
- An indication of the current state of the Urgent and Non Urgent alarms:
(1) noAlarms: No Urgent and no Non Urgent alarms present.
(2) UrgentAlarms: Sum of ASI input payload rates in excess of 148Mb/s.
(3) nonUrgentAlarms: No valid input ASI streams present.

globalBandwidthCapping - Allows bandwidth capping to be enabled or disabled
(1) disabled: Bandwidth capping disabled.
(2) enabled: Bandwidth capping enabled.
channelInfoTable
- Information on each ASI input in table form:
channelNumber
- ASI Input Number.
- An indication that the channel input signal is present or not:
channelPresent
(1) notPresent: No input ASI present on channel.
(2) present: Input ASI is present on channel.
10
channelEnabled
- An indication, and control of, whether the channel is enabled or not :
(1) notEnabled: Channel not enabled
(2) enabled: Channel enabled.
channelPacketSize
- An indication of the packet size:
(1) bytes188: 188 bytes.
(2) bytes204: 204 bytes.

NOTE: 9 With channel bandwidth capping enabled, if ASI signal rate exceeds the set capping bandwidth for this
particular channel, front panel LED corresponding to this channel will flash.
10 When a channel is disabled via SNMP, if ASI signal is present at this channel input to MMM-4682, front
panel LED corresponding to disabled channel will flash.
11 When setting channel rates the total sum is inhibited from exceeding the allowable maximum rate of
148Mb. It may be necessary to enter the lower rate channels first depending on the existing overall sum.

Maintenance & Storage
Maintenance:
No regular maintenance is required.
Care however should be taken to ensure that all connectors are kept clean and free from contamination of any
kind. This is especially important in fibre optic equipment where cleanliness of optical connections is critical to
performance.
Storage:
If the equipment is not to be used for an extended period, it is recommended the whole unit be placed in a sealed
plastic bag to prevent dust contamination. In areas of high humidity a suitably sized bag of silica gel should be
included to deter corrosion.

Where individual circuit cards are stored, they should be placed in antistatic bags. Proper antistatic procedures
should be followed when inserting or removing cards from these bags.

Warranty & Service
Equipment is covered by a limited warranty period of three years from date of first delivery unless contrary
conditions apply under a particular contract of supply. For situations when “No Fault Found” for repairs, a
minimum charge of 1 hour’s labour, at IRT’s current labour charge rate, will apply, whether the equipment is
within the warranty period or not.
Equipment warranty is limited to faults attributable to defects in original design or manufacture. Warranty on
components shall be extended by IRT only to the extent obtainable from the component supplier.

Equipment return:
Before arranging service, ensure that the fault is in the unit to be serviced and not in associated equipment. If
possible, confirm this by substitution.
Before returning equipment contact should be made with IRT or your local agent to determine whether the
equipment can be serviced in the field or should be returned for repair.
The equipment should be properly packed for return observing antistatic procedures.
The following information should accompany the unit to be returned:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

A fault report should be included indicating the nature of the fault
The operating conditions under which the fault initially occurred.
Any additional information, which may be of assistance in fault location and remedy.
A contact name and telephone and fax numbers.
Details of payment method for items not covered by warranty.
Full return address.
For situations when “No Fault Found” for repairs, a minimum charge of 1 hour’s labour will apply,
whether the equipment is within the warranty period or not. Contact IRT for current hourly rate.

Please note that all freight charges are the responsibility of the customer.
The equipment should be returned to the agent who originally supplied the equipment or, where this is not
possible, to IRT direct as follows.
