2.4 desCriPtion

The GLC 100 is an "Ethernet over Coax" (EoC) modem which allows the

feeding in of IP data signals (e.G. from the Internet, IPTV etc.) into an existing

coaxial distribution system (in star or tree distribution).

traditional lan net work

All components of a traditional LAN network are connected via network ca-

bles in star distribution. Starting from a switch, cables must be routed to all

components.

Router

Smart-TV

eoC network

At an EoC network an existing coaxial antenna network is used for transmit-

ting the signals. Here both star, and tree distribution is possible. The data is

fed in and out via EoC modems.

- 8 - GLC 100

The EoC modems communicate in peer to peer mode (P2P).

In the factory default settings, each EoC modem can communicate with each

other modem in the network.

The advantage of "Ethernet over Coax" is that it is not necessary to lay new

network cables and that there is no expenditure for additional installation.

The data is transmitted through the low-attenuation return channel, frequency

range of 2…68 MHz. Depending on the quality of the coaxial cable, transmis-

sion distances of up to 700 m can be realized.

The feeding in is done via the terrestrial input of the SAT multiswitch capable

for return-channel signals, via the terrestrial input of the antenna distributor

structure or via an antenna socket capable for return-channel signals (OR 02,

OR 09, OR 11, OR 15, OR 20, ORS 13 DC) in the distribution network.

An access to the Internet or other transmitted IP data are then available on

each return channel capable antenna sockets.

Two networkable devices can be connected to one EoC modem. The IP net-

work can be extended to up to 64 EoC devices.

Ex factory all devices connected to a EoC modem can communicate with each

other. Data is exchanged, network games are transmitted or a centralized

network printer can be accessed. For the monitoring of houses, rooms etc., an

IP camera can be operated via an EoC modem.

At multiple-user antenna networks, encrypted private networks can be config-

ured (see page 20).

If e.g. you would like to provide Internet access in hotel rooms, although a

network connection to the Internet must be possible, but not between the dif-

ferent rooms. To achieve this, a so-called master / slave mode can be set. If

you have any need for this, please contact your sales partner (www.gss.de ->

Sales partners) because the network must be configured specifically for this

purpose.

3 assembly

The device is operated primarily as a stand mounted unit (4 rubber feet).

4 brackets for wall mounting are provided on the bottom. With 2 screws each

different orientations are possible. A drill template can be found on page 30 of

this manual.

5 installation and Commissioning

5.1 define the aPProaCh

Dependent on the local conditions, several approaches are possible.

In order to avoid unnecessary movements, before installation you should de-

fine how you want to configure the EoC network.

If the antenna system is also used by other participants, you can build up your

own private EoC network.

By securing your EoC network, you protect all information sent via the network

against inadvertent access. This is particularly important in multi-family homes,

office buildings, schools and other buildings.

There are two possibilities to secure your EoC network.

Take a few minutes to read first the parts "Configuration" from page 20 on and

"Configuration software" from page 22 on.

PreParatory works for Private net works via…

… seCurity buttons

If you would like to build up a private network with the help of the security but-

tons, it is easier if you first create the private network key for two devices via a

short coax cable and then successively transfer it into the further devices. Then

you only need to install the configured devices in the appropriate rooms.

… Configuration soft ware

If you want to build a private network using the Configuration software, you

should first create a list of the MAC addresses and their corresponding pass-

words of the EoC modems, in order to assign a private network name to

all modems – centrally from one modem using the Configuration software

(page 22). The MAC address and the corresponding password can be found on

the sticker on the bottom of the device.

- 11 - GLC 100

5.2 installation

All components of the coaxial distributor structure must support the return chan-

nel frequency range of 2…68 MHz.

In the simplest case, you establish a connection via two EoC modems (see

description page 7).

• Connect up to two network devices (e.g. router, PC, smart TV etc.) to the

LAN sockets 6/! of one EoC modem.

• Connect the "EoC" F socket 7 to the already existing antenna distribution

network.

Dependant on the local conditions there are several possibilities to feed the

IP data into the existing antenna network structure. Via the passive terrestrial

input of a SAT multiswitch resp. at the output of a head-end station or via the

CTV socket of a return channel capable antenna socket in the distribution

network. A TV which was connected to this socket must then be connected

to the TV socket of the EoC modem 8.

• Accordingly connect further EoC modems to the antenna distribution net-

work.

—> Broadband networks:

The EoC transmission is done in the return channel frequency range

of 2…68 MHz, which is also used for Internet services in broad-

band networks. For this reason, it must be ensured that the EoC sig-

nal does not cause disturbances in the cable network via the point

of interconnection (POI) – e.g. by using a commercially available

high-pass filter at the output of the CATV amplifier.

Observe the examples on the following pages.

If the TV socket of an EoC modem is not used, it must be terminated with the

attached termination resistor!

5.4 Commissioning

As soon as all connections have been established, the EoC devices can be

switched on by pressing the power switches 2 and the connected devices

(PC, notebook etc.) can be booted up.

indiCators

Power-led

The Power LED 1 flashes for a short time and lights continuously as soon as

the device is ready for operation. It flashes in standby mode (page 19).

eoC-led

The EoC LED 3 light up green as soon as a connection to an other device is

established.

During data traffic the EoC LED flashes.

If the EoC LED light red, the attenuation of the coaxial network is too high.

In this case check the coaxial network resp. short the distance between the

devices.

—> If no EoC connection can be established…

– check whether a coaxial connection exists.

– check whether all components of the coaxial distributor struc-

ture support the return channel frequency range of 2…68 MHz.

– position the EoC modem closer to each other (shorter coaxial

wire).

– After having activated the security function (page 20), make sure

that all EoC modems use the same network key.

– If the problem occurs after modification of the network key

(page 20), restore the factory setting on each device. After-

wards, you can generate the key again.

lan-leds

The LEDs LAN 1/2 (4/5) light up if connections to connected devices are

established.

During data transfer the LEDs are flashing.

- 19 - GLC 100

standby mode

After some minutes without data transfer, an EoC modem switches into stand-

by mode. The Power LED flashes.

—> The standby mode is automatically terminated as soon as a connect-

ed device starts a data communication, or if the modem is switched

off and on again.

—> During standby mode the reset button and the security button are out

of order.

faCtory defaults

Using the Reset button 9 the EoC modem can be reset to the factory default

setting.

• Remove the cover from the button.

• Hold the reset button depressed for one second using a bent up paper clip,

in order to reset the device to the factory defaults.

—> If you press the Reset button less than one second or for more than

two seconds, the factory settings are not restored.

—> The reset button does not work in standby mode (page 19).

seCurity button

Using the Security button 0 you can…

– delete the network key or

– generate a private network.

• Remove the cover from the button.

The further procedure is described below (security function page 20).

- 20 - GLC 100

6 Configuration

An EoC network consists of two or more (max. 64) EoC modems using the

same network key.

In an existing antenna system with several participants, all devices can con-

nect to each other (factory default).

6.1 seCurity funCtion

If the antenna system is also used by other participants, you can build up your

own private EoC network.

By securing your EoC network, you protect all information sent via the network

against inadvertent access. This is particularly important in multi-family homes,

office buildings, schools and other buildings.

There are two possibilities to secure your EoC network:

– Using the Security button 0, you can generate a random network key in

order to built a private network with encryption.

—> Please refer to the procedure described below.

—> The key functions of a GLC 100 W modem (with WiFi function)

are different to that of a GLC 100. For each type observe the cor-

responding assembly instruction.

– Define a network name for your EoC network with the help of the configura-

tion software (page 22, download from http://www.gss.de).

Private eoC network with enCryPtion:

Make sure that the devices are not in Standby mode! The power LED must light

continuously.

• Using a bent up paper clip, delete the network key by pressing the security

button 0 on the rear side of the EoC device for more than 10 seconds (until

the power LED becomes off). Carry out this step for all devices that should

be integrated in a private network.

ConneCt the first two deviCes:

• Using a bent up paper clip, hold the Security button of your EoC device de-

pressed for approx. one second. According to the "release" of the Security

button the Power LED starts flashing.

• Within the next two minutes press the Security button on the next EoC mo-

dem for approx. one second. According to the "release" of the Security
