Web Interface guide HTI-404
The window will show the name of the connected master module. Push Configure button and the web
browser of the PC will open automatically, showing the access page of the headend.
NOTE: HTI web interface uses https protocol. It is likely that your browser doesn’t recognize the security
certificate generated by the HTI. To continue configuring the module without problems, add the security
exception requested by your browser in a permanent way.
NOTE: It is recommended to use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome as browser.
By default, the language of the web interface is the same than the one used by the browser. If you want to
change it, choose in icon the flag related with the desired language.
Enter the folowing data, User: Admin Password: admin. Push Submit button. The main screen of the
configuration interface will open, from where you can configure the headend, as described in the next
section.
4. WEB INTERFACE
The web interface of the HTI allows to configure the headend, as well as to show status information of the
modules. The following sections describe each of the menu options available.
4.1 Headend
Headend menu, through a series of submenus, allows to display status information and to configure the
global parameters.
4.1.1 Overview
It is the menu that appears by default when entering the headend. The user can access this menu at any
time. To do this, go to Headend Overview. A screen as the following one will be displayed:

8
Web Interface guide HTI-404
This screen shows the whole headend schematically. The essential information of each module inserted
in the base-plate is displayed. The master module always corresponds with the module inserted in slot 2,
and it appears in white on black background. The remaining modules appear on white background.
When selecting a specific module, a window with status information and alarms in detail will open.

9
Web Interface guide HTI-404
In addition, through a series of buttons you can perform the following actions:
To register a module.
To unregister a module.
To clone settings from an old module to a new one.
To reboot a module.
To reset a module with its default settings.
To reset all modules of a headend, loading their default settings.
4.1.1.1 Registering process
The headend only allows to configure those modules that have been registered previously. The unregiste-
red equipments are shown in yellow on white background. By default, no module except the one inserted
in slot 2 (master slot) is registered. To register a module that has been detected by the master module
simply push Add button of that module. The background color change to white indicating that the module
has been properly registered.
Repeat the registration process with all modules you want to include in the headend.
If, for any reason, you want to unregister a module of the headend, you must push the Delete button. The
module will be displayed in yellow background, indicating that has been unregistered correctly.

10
Web Interface guide HTI-404
The registration process is dierent if it is the result of replacing a module (for example, due to failure).
In that case, when placing a new module in the position of one that had been already registered by the
headend, the user can choose between to add it without modifying the configuration of the module or to
copy the configuration of the module that was previously registered in that slot. In the following example,
starting from the previous headend with 3 HTIs, all registered, the HTI of slot 4 has been replaced with a
new HTI:
A module with two possible configurations is displayed: one in grey background, corresponding to the
previous module that was already registered in the headend, and another one in yellow background,
corresponding to the configuration of the new module pending registration.
If you want to copy the settings from the previous module, push Clone button. If, instead, you only want
to register the new module without copying the previous configuration, push Add button. In both cases, as
result a screen will be displayed where the module appears as registered.

11
Web Interface guide HTI-404
4.1.1.2 Reboot and reset
The user can reboot a specific module. To do this, you must push Reboot button of that module.
On the other hand, if you just want to load the default settings of the module, just as it comes from the
factory, you must use Reset button. If you want to load the default settings of a specific module, push
Reset button of that module. However, if you want to load the default settings on all modules of the
headend, you can do it pushing Reset button associated with the Base.
In both cases, a warning message indicating that the module will return to its default settings will be
displayed. Press OK if you understand the consequences of this action and you agree.
NOTE: In the case of resetting the master module, slave devices will be unegistered.
4.1.2 General configuration

13
Web Interface guide HTI-404
In the LNB area, set the parameters of the LNB that you are using (frequency band, local oscillator fre-
quency for low polarity and local oscillator frequency for high polarity).
In the Multiswitch area you can describe how is the Multiswitch that is being used. To do that, introduce the
number of inputs of the multiswitch (in the case there isn’t multiswitch, select 0). For each of the inputs,
defined by its position and grouped in fours, you must identify which polarity is (Vertical or Horizontal) and
in which band is transmitted (Low or High). The headend proposes a name for that input as a combination
of the satellite name, polarity and band. This name can be edited.
Push the Save button to save the changes.
4.1.2.6 Autoscan DTT inputs
The Autoscan DTT Inputs tab allows to enable/disable automatic scanning of DTT inputs in case of a
change in the frequency plan.
Thus, if Autoscan is enabled, when a frequency change is done in a DTT signal that was tuned previously,
the HTI will lose sync and will launch a scan of the inputs, in order to search the new frequency of the
signal (identified with the same TS_ID and SID values).
If the Autoscan is disabled, when a change in the frequency plan happens, the HTI must be reconfigured
manually.
To enable the Autoscan of DTT inputs, push Enable Autoscan button. To disable it, push Disable Autoscan
button. By default, the Autoscan is enabled.
