Each VUE associated with the VTM consists of the following pieces of information.
Identity tab
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | A name assigned to the VUE for unique identification. |
| End Point | URL for access to the VUE API. |
| User Name | VUE Element Manager username. |
| Password | VUE Element Manager password. |
| Location | Name given to the VUE's physical location or node in which the RxD exists. |
| Geolocation | The longitude and latitude of the VUE's physical location. |
| Role | Core role of the VUE; Principal or Auxiliary. |
| Vendor | Hardware vendor for the VUE. |
| Version | VUE software version on the selected VUE server. |
| TS Redundancy AutoFailback | Specifies whether the VUE automatically fails back to the original Primary Source Input Transport Stream once it is determined to be healthy. Values are "Enable" or "Disable". Default is "Disable". |
| Input bit rate compare type | Specifies how the VUE will process the Input Transport Stream bit rate when determining whether to fail over or not. Values are "StreamRate" or "DataRate". "StreamRate" will include NULL packets in the assessment. "DataRate" does not include NULL packets in the assessment. Default is "StreamRate". |
Server tab

RC-Server tab
ACCP tab
This screen allows you to allocate RxDs to the ACCP AUX core instances. You can include multiple ACCP instances within a single VUE system. This enables scaling of the number of RxDs that can be supported per VUE system.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| AUX Core Name | The auxiliary core name used by the VUE ACCP when registering with an RxD. |
| AUX Core ID | The auxiliary core ID used by the VUE ACCP when registering with an RxD. The core ID is a 6-byte parameter represented as a hexadecimal string. The auxiliary core ID must be unique within a Remote PHY system. |
| VUE Server | The name of the VUE Server where the ACCP is located. |
| GCP IP Address | The IP address used for GCP protocol communication with the VUE. |
| GCP Keep Alive Interval | Identifies the interval in seconds at which the VUE ACCP sends KeepAlive messages to RxD. This value can range from 1 – 10 seconds. |
| GCP Keep Alive Timeout | Identifies the time in seconds the VUE ACCP waits for a KeepAlive response message before declaring the connection to the RxD as lost. This value can range from 3 – 60 seconds. |
| GCP Reconnect Timeout | The maximum amount of time the RxD waits for the reconnection process to complete before declaring the reconnect attempt has failed. The default time is 30 seconds. |
| GCP Recover Action Delay | Specifies the time in seconds the RxD waits before or while performing the configured recovery action for the GCP session. The default value is 30 seconds. |
| GCP Recover Action Retry | Specifies the number of reties actions for the configured recovery action for the GCP session. The default value is 16 seconds. |
| Stat Polling Interval | The polling interval that the VUE ACCP uses when collecting channel status and statistics from the RxD. The value is an integer measured in seconds from 5 to 900. The default value is 60 seconds. |
| Stat Poll | Enables or disables the ACCPs polling operation to the RxDs for status and statistics. By default, it is enabled. |
Status tab
| Provisioning | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Indicates the type of resources available to the VUE system (for example, ACCPs, RxDs, Transport Streams). |
| Total | Total resources (UDP, ABR, PID, and PassThru) defined in the VUE system. |
| OK | The number of resources that are in a successful state and are processing MPEG packets/remapping of PID values. |
| Error | The number of resources that are in a failed state and are not processing any input MPEG content/input PID values. |
| VUE Alarms | Description |
|---|---|
| Input Stream High Bit Rate | This alarm indicates that an input stream bit rate has exceeded its maxBitRate value. Supported values are 'OK' and 'Major.' The alarm will clear when no input streams are exceeding their maxBitRate value. |
| Loss Of Input Stream | This alarm indicates loss of one or more input streams to a mapping. Supported values are 'OK' and 'Major'. The error will clear when no input stream loss is detected. |
| Output Overflow | The alarm indicates that a transport stream is in an overflow condition and that packets are being dropped. Supported values are 'OK' and 'Critical.' |
| PID Route Failure | The alarm indicates a PID remapping failed on one or more transport streams with PID Mappings applied. Supported values are 'OK' and 'Major.' |
| Program In Error | This alarm indicates that a program is in error for a mapping due to the loss of PAT/PMT for the input stream being missing. Supported values are 'OK' and 'Major'. The error will clear when no service errors are detected. |
Other common operations
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
 | A search box to enter the free form text query to find VUE, RC, ACCP, or Status related information. |
 | Reloads the all the VUE, RC, or ACCP configuration. |
 | Reports the differences between the VTM and VUE RC server configuration. For more information, see Sync RC configuration between VTM and VUE. |
 | Allows you to choose the columns to be displayed in the VUE, RC, ACCP, or Status screen. |
 | Contains Add, Edit, Delete, Sync, Config Sync, Force Failover, and Suspend/Resume actions for VUE servers and RC servers. |
