Ethernet digital storage (EDS) card and satellite transmission system
First Claim
1. A network card configured to be integrated in a satellite receiver, the network card comprising:
- a storage component configured to store data received via the satellite receiver as files;
a router configured to select a path for at least one of said files;
a network transceiver configured to transmit at least one of said files;
a server configured to communicate with external devices; and
a resolver configured to translate mnemonic network addresses into numerical network addresses, wherein the server and resolver are configured to allow operation of the network card to be configured and contents of the storage component to be accessed remotely via a web browser.

Abstract
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.
