It is highly recommended that quality cables and connectors be used for all video and audio source connections.
1. Use a HDMI cable to connect the video source to the HD-1603 HDMI IN.
2. Use a HDMI cable to connect from the HD-1603 HDMI OUT (loop through) port to the local TV.
3. Use a coaxial cable lead to connect from the HD-1603 RF OUT to the TV system.
4. Connect the included power supply to the HD-1603 DC 12V power jack.
5. Connect the power supply the power point.
6. If you require Web Management, connect an RJ45 cable to your PC (refer to page 6 for connection procedure).
7. If IR return Path is required, connect an IR Emitter (RL-IR700/800) to the IR Repeater Port and attach to your source you wish to
control. For IR return path to work, please use with RL-RF380, RL-IR700/800 & RL-RF210 Target and follow instructions (please
refer to install manual with RL-RF380 for instructions).
Hardware Installations and Connections
Installation
System Installer must adhere to Australian Standards AS1367:2007 that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and species that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as possible.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Procedure to Connect to HD-1603 via Web Management Port
The following procedure will allow the installer to setup the encoder via the GUI.
STEP 1:
Please note, the modulator has a factory default static IP address of 192.168.1.9.
If connecting directly to the remote setup port, a static IP address will need to be set to your PC network adaptor (please refer to
Windows Help for instructions). An alternate method is to connect the modulator and the PC to a network router. You will need to
‘enable’ DHCP on the modulator via the Network Setup menu on the front LCD screen. This process will automatically assign an IP
address to each device. Then proceed to Step 2.
STEP 2:
• Select Start ==> Computer ==> Network
The HD-1603 icon will be shown in the window labelled “Media Devices”.
Right Click on the HD-1603 icon and Select ‘View Device Webpage’.
STEP 3:
Once the Welcome Page is displayed select the Encoder Setup tab and the below Login “Authentication Required” screen will be
presented. Enter the User Name and Password then click Login.
User Name: admin Default Password: Admin123

STEP 9: Administration
Saving your conguration les
We highly recommend you save your encoder conguration les. Simply Click the “Backup” button and the cong les will be saved
to your computer.
To upload a conguration le- simply click “Choose File” then locate the le you want to upload. Click “Upload Settings” to install the
conguration les. This function is helpful to the installer when installing a large number of encoders in a single system.
We highly recommend saving the settings of your encoder.
A “cong.cfg” le will be created. Locate the le:
My Computer > C Directory > Documents and Settings > User > My Documents > Downloads > congs.cfg.
HD-1603 User Guide and Install Manual Page 9
The following changes are required when using multiple modulators in the same installation (stacking) -
• Output channel - Before choosing an output channel, check which channels/frequencies are being used by your local
TV stations. Default is 39 UHF (606.5 MHz). If the modulators are on the same output channel as another modulator or
FTA channel the TV will not scan the channel in. Place all modulators on available channels between 6 to 12 VHF and
28 to 51 UHF (including adjacent channels - 38, 39, 40, etc.).
• LCN (Logic Channel Number) - default 101. If TV tuner receives two or more LCN’s on the same number, including
FTA channels - the TV will automatically place the LCN on a free range. In Australia this is 350 and up. Suggest to go
101, 102, 103, etc.
• Channel Name - default “CHANNEL-1” this is necessary but recommended for clients to be able to identify channels.
For example “APPLE-TV”, “FOXTEL”, “DVD”, etc.
• TS ID (Transport Stream) - Default can vary per product. You will need to adjust the TS ID # on each additional
modulator up one number per modulator. For example if default is “TS ID #1” - leave on “TS ID #1”, place 2nd modulator
on “TS ID #2”, 3rd on “TS ID #3”, etc. If the TS ID is the same number the TV tuner will not scan both channels in.
• Program Number - Default can vary per product. You may need to adjust each additional modulator Program Number
up one number per modulator. For example, if default is “Program Number - 1” - leave on “Program Number - #1”, place
2nd modulator on “Program Number - #2”, 3rd on “Program Number - #3”, etc. If the Program Number is the same
number the TV tuner will not scan both channels in. Another numbering option is to assign the program number the
same as the LCN.
Installing Multiple Encoders in the Same Installation (Stacking)
Please refer to RL-RF380 & RL-RF210 for IR Distribution setup and conguration.
IR Distribution
NOTE:
If you plan on using channel 52 to 69 be aware of 4G/LTE transmissions as they may interfere with each other.
We recommend installing a lter.
TIP:
The Logical Channel Number is the number entered into the TV remote to view the modulated channel.
NOTE:
Most TVs do not have an issue with this setting but we recommend changing it just in case.
NOTE:
When using IR return path via RL-RF380 system, ensure the unit is remotely powered from the modulator and no local
power supply is connected to the RL-RF380.
