Safety precautions:
This device was manufactured according to the specifications of international
safety standards. For your own protection, you should read the safety instructions carefully before using your new device.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages caused by improper han-
dling or by ignoring the safety precautions.
• This device is designed to transmit data signals via coaxial cables. Any other
use is expressly prohibited.
• Operate the device only with the supplied AC cable.
• When setting up the device, make sure the mains socket is easily accessible.
• If the device is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example
when brought in from the cold to a warm room, let it stand for at least two
hours before you connect it to the mains supply.
• Do not expose the device to any moisture. The digital receiver is designed
for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or splashing water.
• Place the device on a flat, solid surface for use.
• Make sure the device is adequately ventilated. Make sure that the left and
right, a free space of about 5 cm, 10 cm above is available to allow the air

• Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is
switched off, it can be damaged by a stroke of lightning to the mains or the
antenna cable. Therefore always disconnect the device from the mains and
from the antenna unit during a thunderstorm or extended shutdowns (e.g.
holidays).
• Never open the device under any circumstances. No liability is accepted
for damage caused by faulty connections or inappropriate handling of the
device.

2011/65/EU.
The product fulfils the guidelines and standards for CE labelling
Electronic devices should never be disposed of in the household rubbish. In
accordance with directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and the
European Council from January 27, 2003 which addresses old electronic and
electrical devices, such devices must be disposed of at a designated collection
facility. At the end of its service life, please take your device to one of these
public collection facilities for proper disposal.

2.4 des CriPtion
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).
tr a d itiona l lan n et 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.
eoC n etwork
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.
Power EoC LAN1 LAN2 Power EoC LAN1 LAN2
- 7 - 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, transmission 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 different 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 t h e aPP roaC h
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.
Pre Par ato ry w o rks f o r Pri vate n et works via…
… se C urity b u t tons
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.
… Co n figurat ion so ft war e
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 passwords 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.
