that the air intake on the top of the unit and the exhausts on the back of the unit will
not be blocked.
2. Install the brackets at desired position if there’s no supporting plate in the rack.
3. Insert the rack mount clips into place over the mounting holes in the rack.
4. Slide the GALAXIA HEADEND into the position in the rack.

2.2 AC Power Connection
Please only use the supplied 3-pole power cord or one with equal specifications. NEVER
tamper with or remove the grounding pin. This could cause damage the GALAXIA
HEADEND, the personnel, or the property. Make sure the power outlet is switched off before
plug or unplug the power cable from the panel of GALAXIA HEADEND.
When you take the equipment from a cold condition into a much warmer and humid
condition, the equipment should be acclimated to the warm and humidity condition for at
least 30 minutes. Powering up a non-acclimated unit may lead to shortcut or other damage
to electronic components.
A professional UPS system is recommended for better performance of your content
distribution system.

4.1 Web GUI Overview
4.1.1 Connect the Management Port
Factory network settings of the Management Port:
●IP address 192.168.1.10
●Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
●Gateway 192.168.1.254
Take the following steps to access the Web GUI in a browser.
●Connect laptop/computer to GALAXIA HEADEND management port directly.
●Set the IP address of the laptop/computer in the same network segment with the
GALAXIA HEADEND Baseboard IP address. GALAXIA HEADEND will occupy up to 7 IP
addresses if it’s fully loaded as each module has its own IP address including the
baseboard. Please avoid possible IP address conflict between management PC and
GALAXIA HEADEND unit.
●Check the physical connection by ping command.
GALAXIA HEADEND has an embedded gigabit switch inside the chassis. You can use it as a
switch to connect other devices together. The four network ports are respectively used for
management and data transmission. From left to right, port 1 and port 2 are used for management;
port 3 and port 4 are used for data transmission. A good method of checking IP output is to play
the IP streams using VLC player directly.
If you want to connect a switch between GALAXIA HEADEND and PC or other devices, this
switch should support IGMP V2 and IGMP snooping function. If the switch you used is not
configured properly, it could cause some network issue.
