1 safety regulations and notes
• The devices meet the EU directives 2011/65/EU, 2014/30/EU and
2014/35/EU.
• This device is subject to the provisions of protection class I. Operate the
device only to mains sockets with protective conductor connection!
• If the power cords need to be replaced, only use OEM power cords.
• The standards EN/DIN EN 50083-2 resp. IEC/EN/DIN EN 60728-11 must
be observed, especially concerning equipotential bonding and earthing.
• Observe the relevant country-specific standards, regulations and guidelines
on the installation and operation of antenna systems.
• Before starting installation or service work disconnect the receiving system
from mains.
• Do not perform installation and service work during thunderstorms.
• Assembly, installation and servicing must be carried out by an authorised
electrician.
• Caution! Dangerous voltage! For a complete disconnection from the mains,
both mains plugs must be pulled out of the mains sockets. Ensure that the
mains plugs can be pulled out without difficulties.
• The head-end station should only be installed in a room where the permis-
sible ambient temperature range (0 °C … +50 °C ) can be maintained, even
during fluctuations in climatic conditions.
• To avoid too strong interacted heating of the head-end stations it is not
admissible to mount them one upon the other without using thermic precau-
tions (e.g. permanently air recirculation, ventilation etc.).
• If additional fans are to be used to circulate the air, ensure that the system
will be shut down (disconnected from mains) should any one of the fans fail.
• Install the head-end station
- in a dry, dust-free environment, in such a manner that it is protected from
moisture, fumes, splashing water and dampness
- where it is protected from direct exposure to sunlight
- on a vibration-free wall or floor construction
- not within the immediate vicinity of heat sources
• In case of the formation of condensation wait until the system is completely
dried.
• Ensure that the head-end station is adequately ventilated.
• Do not cover the ventilation openings!
• Do not install the head end in cabinets or recesses which are not ventilated.
• Do not place any vessels containing liquids on the head-end station.

- 5 - STS 1916 IPSR CT CI
• Do not place anything on the head-end station which could initiate fires
(e.g. candles).
• Due to the risk of fires caused by lightning strikes, we recommend that
all mechanical parts (e.g. distributor, equipotential bonding rail, etc.) be
mounted on a non-combustible base. Wood panelling, wooden beams,
plastic covered panels and plastic panels are all examples of combustible
bases.
• Avoid short circuits!
• To ensure electromagnetic compatibility, make sure all connections are tight
and that the covers are screwed on securely.
• No liability is accepted for damage caused by faulty connections or inap-
propriate handling of the device.
• The firmware contains components which are licensed as Open Source
software. The components to which this relates and the respective license
terms can be called up via menu Help/Licences.
This parts of software source code can be provided at cost price on CD
upon request. The licensee is granted a non-exclusive right of use for the
Open Source Software by the respective right holders used; the conditions
stipulated by the respective valid license terms apply. The license terms of
this license only apply to the components which are not listed as Open
Source software.
In relation to the licensor the regulations on liability and warranty in these
license terms apply for the whole software. The liability and warranty regu-
lations of the Open Source licenses only apply in relation to the respective
right holders.
• Test the firmware versions of the device and update them if necessary. The
current firmware version can be found at "www.mygss.eu".
Take action to prevent static discharge when working on the device!
Electronic devices should never be disposed of in the household rubbish. In accordance
with directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and the European Council from
January 27, 2003 which addresses old electronic and electrical devices, such devices
must be disposed of at a designated collection facility. At the end of its service life,
please take your device to one of these public collection facilities for proper disposal.

2.4 desCr i Pti on
The head-end station consists of two parts:
The "SAT -> IP" part converts 16 DVB-S/S2/S2X modulated transponders (up
to 32 APSK) into up to 128 SPTS transport streams. In combination with spe-
cially programmed multiswitches up to 4 satellites can be received (multiple
satellite reception – option dCSS/Unicable II page 65).
The "IP -> CT" part converts up to 128 SPTS data streams (max. total input
data rate 900 Mbit/s) into 16 multiplexes and outputs them as 16 QAM- or 16
COFDM-modulated transponders.
The two parts are connected via an internal switch, to which two data inter-
faces are also connected (maximum total data rate 820 MBit/s).

The station is equipped with four SAT IF inputs and two LAN interfaces. It is
preset to receive the most popular ASTRA transponders. Different programming
is possible at any time.
The SPTS output data streams are output via an internal switch at both LAN
interfaces.
—> If you connect both data outputs to an external switch at the same
time, problems (looping) may occur (depending on the external
switch).
—> You will find descriptions to important terms for configuring a
streaming network in menu Help > Multicast Setup.

- 10 - STS 1916 IPSR CT CI
Each of the 16 tuners can be assigned to any SAT input.
Using adequate CA modules scrambled channels can be descrambled via tun-
ers "1"…"6".
Via the internal switch, up to 128 SPTS data streams are output in 16 multi-
plexes at the RF output (QAM or COFDM).
The configuration of the station is to be done via two separate HTML user
interfaces (SAT -> IP and IP -> CT) via a PC and a standard HTML browser con-
nected to the configuration input.
The two configuration inputs are connected via an internal switch. Several sta-
tions can thus be cascaded for configuration.

If the configuration input is connect-
ed to the Internet, after the initial
setup, you can get worldwide ac-
cess to the station via an OpenVPN
connection – by PC, tablet or smart
phone with Internet access.
—> When using mobile terminals – dependent on your mobile contract
– additional connection costs / data transfer costs may also be
incurred here.
16 LEDs provide an indication of the SAT IF input signal quality based on their
colour. Another 16 LEDs provide an indication of the status of the 16 RF output
lines and indicate if the respective modulator is switched on (LED illuminates)
or off. The LEDs are blinking red/green during data overflow.
