General Information
Created with eciency and dependability in mind, the DB36 - DAB/DAB+ Radio Streaming
Receiver is an indispensable part of DEVA’s range of streaming tools and oers another level of
reliability and cost-eectiveness. While also retaining the dening characteristics of the DEVA
brand, this revolutionary product is specically dedicated to one of the major areas in the industry
- Digital Audio Broadcasting, and fully meets the ETSI EN 300 401 DAB standard.
The DB36 brings a reliable, high-quality streaming functionality as its main asset, while also
oering monitoring capabilities. Along with the guaranteed top performance, a crucial advantage
of this product is its design – compact, smart and extremely practical. Combining practicality with
eciency, the DB36 boasts a wealth of capabilities and superb features. It has a highly-selective
DSP-based tuner and supports the latest DAB & DAB+ standards. Crucially, this product provides
an analog input, which allows you to perform not only remote, but also local audio monitoring.
One of the main features of the DB36 is the fact that this tool guarantees no interruption of the
broadcast signal. This is achieved through the provided local alarm options and online notications
via rear-panel alarm GPOs, E-mail and SNMP in case there is audio loss or change in the DAB
signal and the Left and Right Audio Levels. This allows for a fast response on the part of the
maintenance sta so that prolonged signal loss can be prevented.
What is more, this tool oers support for Program Associated Data (PAD), as well as all standard
bitrates and VBR, and automatically displays live metadata. While the signal is being monitored
and logged, the DB36 also measures the DAB signal quality, as well as the Left & Right Audio
level values and stores them, thereby allowing for future analysis. A standard FTP client is all that
is required for the collected data to be easily downloaded.
Users can also easily control and set up their DB36 unit remotely through their PC, tablet or
smart phone via a standard web browser; iOS and Android devices are also supported.
Compact and aordable, with a remarkable set of features, DEVA’s DB36 is a denite must-
have when reliable streaming of the DAB/DAB+ signal is needed.

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:
DHCP Enabled
IP Assigned by DHCP
Mask Assigned by DHCP
Gateway Assigned by DHCP
DNS Assigned by DHCP
HTTP Port 80
NETWORK DISCOVERY
This is a network setting that denes whether your computer can see (nd) other computers and
devices on the network and whether other computers on the network can see your computer. By
default, Windows Firewall blocks network discovery but you can enable it.
1. Open Advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button, and then on “Control Panel”.
In the search box, type “network”, click “Network and Sharing Center”, and then, in the left
pane click “Change advanced sharing settings”;
2. Select your current network prole;
3. Click “Turn on network discovery”, and then click save changes.
NOTE: If you’re prompted for an administrator password or conrmation, type the password,
provide conrmation or contact your system administrator.
If you have already enabled this function on your computer DB36 will be automatically added
to the Device list section. The device will be ready for usage and no additional adjustments will be
required except user name and password.
NOTE: If the port is dierent than the default one (80), it is necessary to specify it, for example:
http://192.168.1.2:9000
ATTENTION: Depending on Internet Protocol Settings, the assigned IP address may not be
visible outside your local network, thus the device may be accessed only within that network.
Consult with your network administrator for the appropriate IP settings.

NETWORK SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS
1. It is not recommended the DB36 to be directly connected to the Internet. This may lead to
unregulated access and/or problematic operation of the device. To ensure secure connection,
we recommend the device to be installed behind a router with an active rewall.
2. If remote access to the device is needed, we recommend using VPN to the router or the port
of the relevant service (WEB, SNMP, Application, etc.) to be properly NAT forwarded.
3. If NAT forward is used, it is highly recommended random ports of your choice to be used.
Not the standard ones (80 for WEB, 161 for SNMP, etc.).
4. Using DMZ connection is not recommended.
5. Make sure to change the standard access credentials (usernames and passwords, SNMP
communities).
For detailed information as regards the recommendations listed above or need of further
instructions, please contact your network administrator.

WEB interface
The DB36 provides you with a protected access to the device settings. The device serves only
one user at a time, thus username and password will be requested when login. Default values are
admin and pass.
MAIN PAGE
The WEB Interface is visually divided into two sections Left and Right.
• On the Right are all the specic contextual readings of the currently selected menu page.
• On the Left is the so called “dashboard” of the device - General Tuner and Channel readings,
functional buttons. This section of the WEB interface is constant part of each screen, hence
allowing immediate tuner interactions.
