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.
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).

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

—> COFDM: SAT transponders can transmit higher data rates than
DVB-T transponders. If complete SAT transponders are present as
MPTS data streams at the input, you must remove services from the
data stream via the "Filter" menu!
63
Only if the RF output is set to COFDM (page 37):
In this case change the output settings or remove stations
Setting of the Code rate - column CR
During a transmission data can be lost or changed. To recover this data
redundancy is added to the signal to be transmitted (forward error cor-
rection). The factor of the quantity of redundancy contained in the bits
transmitted is called code rate.
Using the setting "C7/8" you can get the highest output data rate at low-
est redundancy.
64
Only if the RF output is set to COFDM (page 37):
Setting of the Guard interval - column GI
In this column you set the relation of the duration of the user symbols to
the duration of the guard intervals to be transmitted. A high guard interval, e.g. "G1/4" causes a low output data rate. For cable networks the
setting "G1/32" is adequate.
65
Only if the RF output is set to COFDM (page 37):
Setting of the Bandwidth - column BW
To transmit the output signal in the channel range of S21 to C69 a band-
width of 8 MHz can be used.
In the channel range of C5 to C12 a bandwidth of ≤7 MHz must be set.
66
In column Level [dB], balance the output levels of the different lines
(0…-10dB). Therefore measure and note down the output level of each
modulator. Adjust the higher output levels to the output level of the modulator with the lowest output level incrementally.
