Chapter 3 Installation Guide
3.1 Acquisition Check
When you opens the package of the device, it is necessary to check items according to packing
list. Normally it should include the following items:
HDC-5016 IP QAM Modulator
User’s Manual (online download from www.blankom.de)
Power Cord (depending on country)
3.2 Installation Preparation
When you install the device, please follow the steps below. The details of installation will be
described after this chapter. Users can also refer to the rear panel chart during the installation.
The main steps of the installation include:
Checking the possible device missing or damage during the transportation
Preparing relevant environment for installation
Installing the IP Mux-Scrambling QAM Modulator
Connecting signal cables
Connecting communication port for WEB-IF

3.2.2 Environmental Conditions
3.2.3 Grounding Requirement
All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of devices. Also,
they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and interference rejection.
Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
Coaxial cables’ outer conductor and isolation layer should keep proper electric conducting
with the metal housing of device.
Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
Item Requirement
Machine Hall Space
When user installs machine frame array in one machine hall, the
distance between 2 rows of machine frames should be 1.2...1.5m
and the distance against wall should be no less than 0.8m.
Machine Hall Floor
Electric Isolation, Dust Free
Volume resistivity of ground anti-static material: 1X107...1X1010Ω,
Grounding current limiting resistance: 1M (Floor bearing should be
greater than 450Kg/㎡)
Environment
Temperature
5...40℃(sustainable ), 0...45℃(short time)
installing air-conditioning is recommended
Relative Humidity 20%...80% sustainable 10%...90% short time
Pressure 86...105KPa
Door & Window
Installing rubber strip for sealing door-gaps and dual level glasses
for window
Wall It can be covered with wallpaper, or brightness less paint.
Fire Protection Fire alarm system and extinguisher
Power
Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting power
are independent to each other. Device power requires AC power
220V ±10% 50/60Hz or 110V ±10% 50/60Hz. Please carefully check
before running.

Users should make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be
antirust.
It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less
than 25mm2.
3.2.4 Frame Grounding
All the machine frames should be connected with protective copper strip. The grounding wire
should be as short as possible and avoid circling. The area of the conduction between
grounding wire and grounding strip should be no less than 25mm2.
3.2.5 Device Grounding
Connecting the device’s grounding rod to frame’s grounding pole with copper wire.
3.3 Wire Connections
3.3.1 Power cord connection
The power socket is located on the right of rear panel, and the power switch is on the left of
front panel. User can plug one end of the power cord to the socket and insert the other end to
AC power. When the device solely connects to protective ground, it should adopt
independent way, say, share the same ground with other devices. When the device adopts
united way, the grounding resistance should be smaller than 1Ω.
Caution: Before connecting power cord to the IP QAM Modulator, user should set the
power switch to “OFF”.
3.3.2 Signal and Network Management (NMS) Cable Connection
The signal connections include the connection of input signal cable and the connection of
output signal cable.

Chapter 4 Web NMS Management
This device does not support the LCD operation, and the modification can only be operated
with Web NMS by using a standard web-brows e r. We recommend to use Firefox – latest
version.
4.1 Login
The factory default IP address is 192.168.0.136 and users can connect the device and web
NMS through this IP address.
Connect the PC (Personal Computer) and the device with a net cable, and use ping command to
confirm they are on the same network segment. For instance, the PC IP address is
192.168.99.252, we then change the device IP to 192.168.99.xxx (xxx can be 0 to 255 except 252
to avoid IP conflict).
Launch the web browser an input the device IP address in the browser’s address bar and press
Enter.
It will display the Login interface as Figure-1. Input the Username and Password (Both the
default Username and Password are “admin”. And then click “Login” to start the device setting.
