1.3. Description and connections
The module TFF 310 CI is used for the reception of free channels that obey the DVB-T standards.
Each module allows the reception of a complete multiplex in DVB-T (COFDM), and its subsequent regeneration in a new
multiplex. Besides, it offers the possibility of selecting the services that you wish to add in the new multiplex.
A feature of this equipment is its modulator in Vestigial Side Band (or VSB). This modulation can be used to distribute
adjacent channels in one distribution without any interference problem.
Each module has one Loop connector to cascade several modules at input and a Mix connector to do same in output
channels. The output channel is selectable between C2 and C69.
All parameters are programmed by the means of PRO 201, PRO 300 or the EVO or MINI series of field strength meter,
and they are monitored in the display of programmer or on the screen of field strength meter.
TFF 310 CI has two Common Interface slots.

*States of two-colored leds
1. Initialization mode
- Green: main application charged.
- Blinking Green: Completing the initial sequence, at the moment when the module gets initialized, the led will turn
into one of the states the operating mode.
- Red: Phase of initializing the module.
2. Operative Mode
- Green: The system is working properly.
- Orange: At least one critical event has been recorded in the module. The led will only change into green when
the registration of events has been read by the programmer.
- Red: Error or alert detected in the running of the device, the led will be on only as long as the error/alert is
present. Once the error or the alert disappears, the led will change into orange because the error/alert is stored in
the registration of events.
3. Programming mode
- When the module detects an external programmer, the led will blink in the next sequence: green-orange-red.
- Once you leave the programming mode, the led will turn into the corresponding operating mode.

1.4. Programming
TFF 310 CI has two ethernet connectors. In order to make the programming of the module you have to connect the
corresponding programmer to PRO 201 connector.
You can make the programming through the PRO 201, PRO 300 programmers and also through the mediaMAX EVO and
mediaMAX MINI field strength meter.

Note:
It is not recommended to exceed the 85% of the maximum capacity of the multiplex due to the possible
variability of the bits rate of the inputs services.
- Output service name: This option allows editing the services name and changing it. By means the bottoms “Left / Right”
the service to edit is selected, pressing OK the edition mode is on, placing the cursor over the digit the value could be
changed by means the bottoms “Up / Down”. Once finish, the changes are saved pressing OK.
- LCN: The LCN function allows assigning automatically a predetermined
position to each one of the services of the multiplex. This function will allow the
users who have a receiver with LCN support to make the ordination of channels
automatically.
Select a channel through Left/Right buttons and introduce the position. Press
the “OK” button and the cursor will be placed over the number. With the keys of
the cursor, we can move through all the digits and change the values. Press
“OK” in order to save the changes
Note:
If in the existing installation there are already services that have LCN system, you will have to configure
the position of the module services in order to avoid conflicts with other net services.
- Decrypt services: From this option you can add or remove manually the services that are being decoded by the card:
- Delete services
- Add services
-Reset CAM: This option allows the CAM initialization, select the slot is necessary
-CI menu: From this option the access to the CAM menu is allowed, select the slot is necessary.
- Date / Time: Setting of the date and time of transmodulator. It is appropriate to maintain these parameters set in order to
have the registration of errors linked to the current time and date.
- SW version info: It allows you to visualize the basic information of the module: model, firmware version, etc.
- Global Update: It allows carrying out the update of all the modules that are interconnected at the same time.
PRO 300
Note:
From PRO 300 programmer you can only carry out the programming of a single module, in order to carry
out the programming of several modules at the same time you have to use a mediaMAX EVO or mediaMAX
MINI series field strength meter.
When you connect the PRO 300 programmer, it will proceed to recognize
the module and to show the main menu.
In the main menu are shown the different options for configuring the
regenerator.
We have to use the “Up” and “Down” buttons of the keyboard in order to
move to the different options, and to get into the submenus we have to
press “OK” button.
1. I/O configuration
Inside the “I/O configuration” menu there are specified the different options
for setting up the input, output and modulation parameters.
In order to move around the different options we have to use the “Up” and
“Down” buttons of the keyboard. Click on OK to edit the selected parameter
and Right/Left for changing it. Once it is configured press Cancel.
Terrestrial input (Input Ter)
In this option you will be able to configure the input parameters of the
terrestrial signal:
- Freq. (MHz): Input frequency of the multiplex that you wish to tune. In order
to introduce the frequency, press the “OK” button and the cursor will be
placed over the frequency. With the keys of the cursor, we can move through
all the digits and change the values. Press “OK” in order to save the value.
Options: 170-230 / 470-862 MHz.
- BW (Bandwidth): Selection of the input signal Bandwidth: 8MHz, 7MHz and 6MHz.

Terrestrial modulation (Out Terr)
These options allow configuring the DVB-T/DVB-H modulator of the device.
- Modulation: Output modulation format: 4 QAM, 16 QAM, 64 QAM.
- Invert (Spectrum inversion): Activate or deactivate the spectrum reverse in
the modulation.
- GI (Guard interval): Allows selecting the guard interval of the modulation:
1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32.
- BW (Bandwidth): Selection of the Bandwidth of the modulated signal:
8MHz, 7MHz, 6MHz
and 5MHz. The 5MHz option is only supported by DVB-
H standard.
- Tx Mode (FFT Mode): 8K, 4K and 2k. The 4k option is only supported by DVB-H standard.
- FEC: Indicates the relationship between the redundant bits and the transmitted information bits: 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 y
7/8. For example, in a FEC = 2/3 relation we will find 2 information bits and 1 redundant bit.
- Mode: Selection of the modulation standard: DVB-T and DVB-H.
Note:
The output useful bits rate will depend on the following parameters: Bandwidth, guard interval, FEC
codification and modulation. In the
Attachment I you will find all the information related to the resulting useful bit
rate in each configuration.
Output configuration (Out TV)
In these options you can configure the output parameters of the terrestrial
signal.
- RF Channel (MHz): Output frequency of terrestrial modulation. In order to
introduce the frequency, press the “OK” button and the cursor will be placed
over the frequency. With the keys of the cursor, we can move through all the
digits and change the values. Press “OK” in order to save the value.
Options: 47-862 MHz.
- RF Level: Regulation of the output level of the modulated signal. Options: 0-15dB.

Terrestrial antenna
Installation where we get a bad signal and high
error rates in the output of the antenna. This
signal is injected in the headend formed by 6 TFF
310 CI regenerators which will allow regenerating
and/or filtering the signal of 6 multiplex, so later
we can amplify them through and AMP 310 P and
distribute them through the installation. The
distributed channel will need a terrestrial digital
receiver in order to be decoded.
In order to distribute the encoded channels freely
you have to install the PCMCIA + subscriber card
in the Common Interface slot.
