• Caution! Dangerous voltage! For a complete disconnection from the mains,

both mains plugs must be pulled out of the mains sockets. Ensure that the

mains plugs can be pulled out without difficulties.

• The head-end station should only be installed in a room where the permis-

sible ambient temperature range (0 °C … +50 °C ) can be maintained, even

during fluctuations in climatic conditions.

• To avoid too strong interacted heating of the head-end stations it is not

admissible to mount them one upon the other without using thermic precau-

tions (e.g. permanently air recirculation, ventilation etc.).

• If additional fans are to be used to circulate the air, ensure that the system

will be shut down (disconnected from mains) should any one of the fans fail.

• Install the head-end station

- in a dry, dust-free environment, in such a manner that it is protected from

moisture, fumes, splashing water and dampness

The configuration of the station is to be done via an HTML user interface via a

PC and a standard HTML browser connected to the configuration input.

The two configuration inputs are connected via an internal switch. Several sta-

tions can thus be cascaded for configuration.

OpenVPN

Server

If the Control input is connected to

the Internet, after the initial setup,

you can get worldwide access to the

station via an OpenVPN connection

– by PC, tablet or smart phone with

Internet access.

—> When using mobile terminals – dependent on your mobile contract

– additional connection costs / data transfer costs may also be

incurred here.

16 LEDs provide an indication of the status of the 16 lines based on their col-

our and indicate if the respective modulator is switched on (LED illuminates) or

off. The LEDs are blinking red/green during data overflow.

The station is powered by two independent power supplies (redundancy). The

power supplies can be replaced individually during operation. If one power

supply unit fails, a warning signal sounds.

If the control input has connection to the Internet, the device can send a warn-

ing e-mail when a signal, power supply or one of the fans fails.

In column Chan. / Freq. [MHz], enter the desired output channel/fre-

quency of the individual lines.

—> Double assignments are indicated by a

warning icon .

—> A output signal is normally transmitted

with a bandwidth of 8 MHz. This means

that you can only use the channel centre frequency of the existing

channel grid in the range of channels C21…C69 (frequency grid

8 MHz). The CCIR channel grid is 7 MHz in the range of the lower

frequency bands (channels C5 … C12). If 8 MHz QAM signal

packages are transmitted in these channel ranges, this will result in

interference (overlapping) and transmission problems.

For programming in these channel ranges and in the frequency rang-

es below them, we recommend starting with frequency 306 MHz

going back in steps of 8 MHz (see frequency table on page 40).

Please note thereby that many receivers cannot receive the channel

ranges S21…S41 (306 … 466 MHz).

60

Only if the RF output is set to QAM (page 37):

In column SR [kS/s], enter the desired output symbol rate of the individual

lines.

—> The background colour in column Line indicates an output data

overflow.

In this case increase the output symbol rate or the QAM modulation

or remove stations from the data stream using the station filter.

61

For exceptional cases and "older" digital cable receivers, in column

Spectrum the spectral position of the user signal can be inverted (invers).

Factory default is "normal".
