Installation
For starting the installation, simply start the ulenet installer (ipdvb-ule-0.1.3.exe) and follow the steps.Post Installation Notes
ulenet uses the OpenVPN Tap-Win32 virtual network adapter to which the decapsulated IP packets are delivered. After installation, there should be a new Network Connection, called "DVB Network Connection" which is associated with the virtual adapter. The adapters name should be something like "IP/DVB Network Adapter (TAP-Win32 V8)".
Note that the adapter status is "Network cable unplugged". This means that
ulenet has not been started. If you start ulenet, the adapter status should
change to "Connected". When ulenet is stopped, the adapter goes back to the
previous status.
You can change this behaviour in the adapter configuration (connection state).
If you select the properties page of the Tap-Win32 adapter, you can configure the MAC address, Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) and the connection state. If you provide a MAC address, ulenet will be able to filter on destination addresses, if ULE is used (and DBit 0).
Required Steps after Installation
Perform the following steps if not already done.
- Install DirectX (at least 9.0)
- Install BDA-compatible DVB Receiver Driver
Normally, the BDA driver of your DVB receiver card should install all files necessary for using the Broadcast Driver Architecture. If not, locate the file "bda.inf" which should be somewhere in your Windows directory. Install "bda.inf": right click on the file and select "Install" from the popup menu).
Usage
ulenet can be started via the commandline or as a Windows Service (if this
option was enabled at installation time).
For a list of all commandline options, type:
ulenet.exe --help
You may find it convenient to start ulenet from the supplied program group
shortcuts. The program group of ulenet is located at: Start -> All
Programs -> ULE-Net.
After starting ulenet you should see a console, as shown in the screenshot below.
