Ethernet digital storage (EDS) card and satellite transmission system

摘要

An Ethernet Digital Storage (EDS) Card and satellite transmission system is provided for receiving, storing, and transmitting files. A data stream is received and may be stored at the receiver or routed as TCP/IP packets. The EDS Card includes an HTTP server. A DHCP on the EDS card provides dynamic configuration of the card's IP address. The EDS card includes a PPP and modem processor. The EDS card includes an event scheduler. A command processor keeps a built-in log of audio spots played. Files may be transmitted from the EDS card via an M&C port, an Ethernet port, or an auxiliary RS-232 port. Files may be received from a data stream from a satellite, an M&C port, an Ethernet port, or an auxiliary RS-232 port. The EDS card also provides time shifting and may be used without a satellite feed as an HTTP-controlled router with storage.
