  1. Mount your transcoder, then boot the server
    -> choose a server in your network and install the D500 in the PCI Express slot

    *Note: -> The PCI Express slot will server to provide power to the D500, where RTP traffic will flow through the LAN connection
               -> An extra Ethernet interface may be brought up if your server has a Broadcom tg3 driver installed.  Run "ifconfig" to verify.  Disregard this extra interface (bring it down if necessary) as this interface is only used when using PCI Express Single Server installation

    ---------

  2. Plug the Ethernet cable into your transcoder to attach to your network

 Transcoding Transcoding package installation

  1. Download and Install the transcoding package on a server where you have installed the D500

    -> wget <URL of Package>
    -> tar xfz sng-tc-<ver>-<arch>.tgz
    -> cd sng-tc-<arch>-<ver>
    -> make
    -> make install

    The D500 transcoder will be detected through the server's main LAN Ethernet interface, typically Eth0
    --------

  2. Firmware Update

    To check if the firmware on the transcoder requires updating run the firmware update utility

    --> Run: sngtc_tool –dev ethX –firmware  (replace ‘X’ with the interface of main LAN, such as Eth0)
         -> a broadcast message will be sent out Eth0 to any Sangoma transcoders on the network and will detect the D500 inside this server as it is connected to same network
    --> If the FROM and TO version are the same you are up to date so cancel the update; if the versions are different please update.
    --> If the update fails insure the RJ45 is properly connected to the D500 and is illuminated Green colour.  Also verify your firewall/security is not blocking any communication
    * Note sngtc_server must NOT be running during the update; sngtc_server_ctrl stop will stop the server if it is running.
