7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI Series
Satellite DVB-S/S2/S2X Demodulator
Revision 1.0 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI series is a complete hardware based solution for demodulating digital
DVB-S/S2/S2X satellite signals. With a modular form-factor and multiple inputs and multiple
demodulators available per card, the 7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI series represents one of the highest
density and most flexible solutions in the industry.
Applications include signal reception for cable, DTH and IPTV providers, or any other small to large
head-end operators who need to receive and redistribute satellite content. The 7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI
series provides ASI outputs, ideal for turnaround, transcoding, monitoring or other applications where
the received signal remains in the compressed domain. For baseband output, the demodulator may be
coupled with an Evertz decoder module, providing a full IRD solution.
Monitoring parameters such as Es/No, demodulator lock, RF power, MER, Bit Error Rate, Frequency
Offset and FEC activity provide extensive information on received signal quality and robustness. These
parameters as well as full control of the demodulator are relayed over SNMP, for convenient remote
access using Evertz’s own VistaLINK® PRO SNMP monitoring and control package.
For applications requiring decryption, the 7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI provides dual slots for installation of
customer supplied DVB-CI compliant conditional access modules.

2.1. REAR PLATE DESCRIPTION
Figure 2-1 provides an illustration of the 7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI series rear plates.
Figure 2-1 : 7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI Series Rear Plates
2.1.1. Connectors
RF <1-4>: Input F-type (optional BNC with +B75 option) connector for L-band output of a
suitable digital cable network directly or via a suitable attenuator giving lighting
and surge protection.
ASI <1-4>: Input/output DIN connectors.

2.2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Before handling the card it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is
therefore recommended that an ESD strap be worn. Locate on the 7800 chassis two adjacent vacant
slots. Unpack the 7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI and separate the rear panel from the main card. Locate on
the rear of the rack an empty slot and remove the blanking panels. Insert the rear panel into the back of
the chassis and secure using the screws provided.
Before inserting the front card, connect the serial cable provided to the board. Now insert the 7882DM2-
LB4-CA2-ASI Series card into the corresponding front slots ensuring the card lines up with the slot
runners on the bottom and the top of the chassis. Push the card into the slot ensuring that when it
mates with the rear card that it has been firmly pushed into a seated position. This can be confirmed
when the connectivity lights for the Ethernet port are illuminated. Do not connect any cables to the rear
card until the initial configuration has been completed (failure to do this could cause unwanted network
issues).
2.3. CONFIGURATION OF MANAGEMENT IP CONNECTION
The first step is to configure the management IP connection so that the customer can create
management access to the unit via the user’s Local Area Network. The user can change the
management IP address from the serial port of the frame controller by following the steps below.
1. Remove the panel by unscrewing both knobs on the side.
2. Connect the serial upgrade cable (ribbon cable) provided by Evertz to the 2x3 header at the
front edge of the 7801FC/7800FC.
3. Open a terminal program such as HyperTerminal. Setup the terminal program as shown in
Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 : COM Port Settings
4. Power on the unit and allow unit to boot up.
5. After boot up, press <ENTER> and the Login screen will appear. Enter login: customer and
password: customer
6. After logging in, the Main Menu will appear in the terminal window as shown in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-3 : Main Menu Prompt
7. Select option 1 in the main menu to view the IP, Netmask, Gateway, and Broadcast addresses.
Changes to the addresses may be made by selecting the desired option on the Network Setup
screen shown in Figure 2-4 and pressing ENTER.
Figure 2-4 : Network Setup Screen
8. After making the changes, choose X and press ENTER to exit.
9. Again, choose X and press ENTER to exit and save or choose W to exit without saving.
10. The frame controller can now be used with the new IP address.

2.4. HTTP BROWSER CONTROL
The user can control the 7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI using an HTTP browser by following these steps:
1. Connect a network cable (RJ-45) between the management connector labelled “ETHERNET” on
the chassis and the LAN connector of the local PC or switch.
2. Open Firefox or Chrome browser (latest version recommended) and type in the Control Port IP
Address from Section 0.

NOTE: The PC used for management and administrative purposes must be in the
same subnet to establish proper connection to the chassis. User may need to change
the user’s PC IP settings for DHCP to static during the management IP connection.
3. Log in as user: root password: evertz

NOTE: The default username and password is “root” and “evertz” respectively. This
is for read/write privileges.
For read only privileges, the customer needs to access with username and password
“customer” and “customer” respectively.
4. The user will be directed to the Frame Controller (FC) Menu as shown in Figure 2-5. To access
the 7882DM2-LB4-CA2-ASI (slot 3 in this example) web controls, click on the link under the
Name column in the Products section.
