Introduction
DEVA Broadcast Ltd. was established in 1997 as a broadcasting and telecommunications
equipment importer for Bulgaria and Eastern Europe regions. Subsequently, DEVABroadcast Ltd.
hasdeveloped andproduced awiderange oflow and midpower transmitters,RDS/RBDS Encoders
and Decoders, Modulation Monitors, Remote Controls, Site monitoring and other systems for
many companies. Our high degree engineers accomplish their bright ideas through successful
engineering, marketing and management in DEVA Broadcast Ltd.’s Headquarter in Bulgaria.
During the last ten years the company products have become our partners’ best sellers. After
detailed marketing analysis, our team has decided to launch its own brand products based on the
latest technologies in the broadcasting business. The company’s main goal is to design, develop
and offer a complete line of high quality and competitive products for FM and Digital Radio,
Radio Networks, Telecommunication Operators and regulation authorities. We base our market
authority position on our good after sales support and relation with the clients.
Since 2003 DEVA Broadcast Ltd. has been ISO 9001 certied .
The contractors of DEVA Broadcast Ltd. are satised with the permanent business comfort
and to their own confession they owe it to a great extent as well as their prosperity to the loyal
partnership of our company.

General Information
Compact, Robust, Reliable and Clever - This is just a small part of all the benets of our DB44
FM Radio Monitoring Receiver and Basic Modulation Analyzer. Based on the latest technology,
the DB44 core is DSP based digital design for 24/7/365 operation.
After demodulating the FM signal, the MPX signal is digitalized and all signal processing
is then made through calculations. Digitizing in this way, at the input gives the equipment
measurement reproducibility over time. Digital lters’ accuracy, used in this equipment, enables
the FM multiplex signal’s components to be accurately and repeatedly reproduced from one device
to another, i.e. same signal applied to two devices will give the same result. The processing power
in this equipment enables all measurements to be refreshed simultaneously and synchronously,
thereby allowing for detailed readings of all the Multiplex FM signal components.
DB44 allows you through its TCP/IP and GSM Connectivity to monitor all the RDS and some
other signal parameters from anywhere. You can easily receive the channel status or listen to the
audio from anywhere, using your mobile phone. With the built-in Audio Streamer you can even
listen to, skim and record the audio from any station. DB44 is our most cost effective unit for
permanent monitoring of the quality and continuity FM Radio Stations or Radio Networks.

Getting Started
For the normal operation of DB44, you will need the following conditions:
- Standard Ethernet 10/100M connection;
- Correct assigned Network conguration and device settings;
To provide all these conditions please, follow the instructions below.
CONNECTION
• Install the unit on its operation place;
• Connect the unit to the power supply network using the power cable provided with the unit;
• Connect the antenna cable to the RF antenna input connector located on the rear panel of the
device;
• Connect DB44 to the TCP/IP network using direct network cable;
• Connect the optional GSM modem via the connection cable provided with the GSM modem.
Please, locate and select proper place of the GSM antenna for achieving better GSM network
coverage.
NOTE: The GSM antenna must be far enough from the monitoring devices. The GSM modem
radiate RF signal that may cause spurious emissions that will make troubles with the accuracy of
the measurements.

NETWORK SETTINGS
After connecting the network cable the Led ‘LAN’ located on the rear panel must be ON or
ashing. The next and most important step for conguration is the adjustment procedure of the
Network Communication. The settings shown below are Default Network Settings:
IP : 192.168.1.2
Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.1
DNS : 192.168.1.1
DHCP : Disabled
HTTP Port : 80
Stream Port : 5000
SNMPAgent Port : 161
SNMP Manager IP : 192.168.1.1
SNMP Manager Port : 162
DB44 is controlled through the built-in web server and a standard web browser can be used
to monitor its status or make some adjustments. To connect to the device you need to know its IP
address and follow the next steps:
• Open a WEB Browser.
• Enter the device IP address in the browser’s address eld.
NOTE: If the port is different than the default one (80), it is necessary to specify it, e.g.
http://192.168.1.2:9000
• Press <ENTER>.
If you do not know the IP address you can access DB44 by using UPnP discovery in local
networks (see “UPnP and DB44 discovery in Local Networks” on page 41).
ATTENTION: Depending on Internet Protocol Settings, assigned IPaddress may not be visible
outside your local network, thus device may be accessed only within that network. Consult with
your network administrator for the appropriate IP settings.

ATTENTION: Upon Login the DB44 Logger will stop and will start again automatically after
Logout.
DB44 serves only one user at a time, thus Username and Password will be requested when
connecting. Default values are user and pass.
Enter your credentials and press Login button to continue to Main screen.
If DB44 is already in use you will be prompted shortly:
NOTE: DB44 will Logout automatically the current session after the dened WEB session
timeout. (see “Management Screen” on page 37)
