1. Product description
The PC102W - single cable multiswich programmer (in the text - programmer) is useful instrument while conguring and troubleshooting SAT IF
distribution system built on dSCR multiswitches based on new digital channel stacking components.
The application software “dSCRmaster” for Windows operating system PCs allows simply change parameters of the multiswitch: operating mode
(static or dynamic), frequency plan for static mode, frequency and bandwidth of user bands for dynamic mode, output power level of each user
band carrier and etc.
Service mode of the multiswitch could be switched on for quick nding the problem during installation work. In an internal memory four different
conguration les can be stored (prepared on the PC) and send to the multiswitch by pressing dedicated buttons on the PC102W.
The programmer can feed DC power for the multiswitch using the external AC/DC power adapter and allows parallel connection to a PC over USB
cable. The remote Wi-Fi access allows to modify parameters of dSCR multiswitch from any device (tablet, smartphone, laptop, PC) using web
browser. The PC102W, wirelessly connected to the WiFi access point, can be used for remote control and monitoring of the multiswitch.
The programmer is supplied with an external AC/DC adapter (PS202F). An application SW “dSCRmaster” is available from the Web.

6.3 Structure window
It is possible connect (chain) the outputs of multiple switches together with RF combiners and setup each of the switches to provide the signal from
a different satellite position.
For example you can congure one switch for satellite A and a second one for satellite B. If the receiver now requests a channel from satellite A
the rst switch will enable the user band while the seconds switch will disable the user band. If the receiver requests a channel from satellite B, the
rst switch will deactivate the user band and the seconds switch will provide the user band. In static mode only one user band with same output
frequency of connected multiswitches will be active, depending of selected satellite position.
The structure window is accessed after selection of “Structure” line in the main menu. In this window (Figure 4) whole structure of chained
multiswitches is described.
Figure 4. Structure window
The upper line of controls in the structure window is the same, as in the “Main window” (see section 6.1).
Before making any changes in the structure window, select correct model of the connected multiswitch in the “DSCR model” table. The next step
is assignment of satellite positions to chained multiswitches.
1. Connect only one multiswitch for satellite A to programmer.
2. Select satellite A option in the “Conguration” table.
3. Press “Set” button in the “Conguration” table.
4. Repeat 1-3 steps for remaining chained multiswitches.
Now all chained multiswitches are set to different satellite positions. Connect all chained multiswitches to programmer. Select correct count of total
satellites, LNB parameters in the “Input parameters” table. Press “Save” button. Press “Set” button to send conguration to all chained multiswitches.
When only one multiswitch is connected to output network, select correct model of the connected multiswitch in the “DSCR model” table, set count
of total satellites to one and LNB parameters in the “Input parameters” table. Press “Save” button.
Note: contents of “Conguration” and “Input parameters” tables depends of capabilities of selected DSCR model.
6.4 Settings window
