Please follow the steps below to scan sources from Zixi sources.
1. On Zixi GUI
Configure the output as Zixi Pull, as shown below,
Stream ID = Is the ID you will Scan on the MCM9000 side.
Remote ID = The MCM9000 and Zixi create the connection based on the serial number and the remote ID must be MCM9000_SNxxxx (xxxx = Serial Number).
The MCM Serial Number is displayed on the top of the MCM UI as shown below (In this example, the Remote ID is MCM9000_SN9990).
On MCM GUI
On the MCM9000 navigate to Sources → Scan, click on the add (+) button to choose the access type you need to scan. Select CTP as the access type.
In the IP Address/URL field enter the Zixi IP + Stream as following: zixi://<zixi_IP>/<Stream_ID> (for example: zixi://108.129.11.46/Bolliwood.ts) and click on submit.
Please note, if the Zixi sources are encrypted with passwords, the Zixi URL is of the format, zixi://<Password>@<zixi_IP>:<port>/<Stream_ID>
For example, zixi://Pp%aSsWwDd@108.129.11.46:2100/target_JMP_12345dx.ts
The valid special characters allowed for password/passphrase are _ % $ ! and &. Other special characters such as @, # etc., are not allowed.
2. Scan from Media Connect
If you would like to Scan from Media Connect, from the Source create Zixi Pull output and add the following:
Stream ID = Is the ID you will Scan on the MCM9000 side
Remote ID = The MCM9000 and Zixi create the connection based on the serial number and the remote ID must be MCM9000_SNxxxx (xxxx = Serial Number).
CIDR allow list = Add the MCM9000 Public IP’s you would like to scan
To Scan from the MCM use the Listener address as the Zixi IP : zixi://<Listener address>/<Stream_ID> (for example: zixi://108.129.19.138/Bolliwood_mx) and click on submit.
