HDMI/AV signals into 2xDVBT RF channels within frequency range of 30-960 MHZ.It has
equipmed with 4x HDMI/AV inputs,1x ASI input,1x RF input and output,1x UDP IP port and 1x RF
port with dual DVBT carriers.
The source could be from a variety of devices including satellite receivers, closed-circuit television
cameras, Blue-ray players, and PCs etc. It is equipped with a RF input which acts as a combiner
with other RF frequencies.
This unit enables the distribution of an external source over a coax RF system.The signal from an
external source can be viewed via a terrestrial digital set top box.Typical applications include
pubs ,clubs, sporting venues ,resorts , hospitals etc.

AC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz or AC 220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please
carefully check before running.
2.5 Grounding Requirement
9All 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.
9Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
9Users should make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be
antirust.
9It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
9The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no
less than 25 ㎡.

¾Bandwidth
There are three possible options provided for selecting bandwidth: 6M, 7M, and 8M. When the
display shows them, user just need swift LEFT and RIGHT key to choose and repressing
ENTER to confirm.
¾Constellation
Four different constellations QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM will be shown on the LCD window.
User can set constellation type with the same method mentioned above.
¾FFT
When user enters FFT (Transmission Mode), the LCD would show the current working
mode. User can move LEFT/RIGHT keys to select and press ENTER key to confirm. 2K
and 8K are the options:

8K: When the device works as current mode, the number of current carrier is 8192
¾Guard Interval
In communications, guard intervals are used to ensure that distant transmissions do not interfere
with each other. These transmissions may belong to different users (as in TDMA) or same user
(as in OFDM). The purpose of the guard interval is to introduce immunity to propagation delays,
echoes and reflections, to which digital data is normally very sensitive. There are four possible

Chapter4WEBNMSoperation
User not only can use front buttons for setting configuration, but also can control and set the
configuration in computer by connecting the device to web NMS Port. User should ensure that the
computer’s IP address is different from the EPS-HAV1004R ’s IP address; otherwise, it would cause
IP conflict.
4.1 login
The default IP of this device is 192.168.0.136. We can modify the IP through the front panel.
Connect the pc and the device with net cable, and use ping command to confirm they are on the
same network segment.
I.G. 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).
Use web browser to connect the device with PC by inputting the Encoder & Modulator’s 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.
