Introduction
JTo ensure the correct use and installation of the headend, it is necessary to read the
user and troubleshooting procedure manuals corresponding to the complete solution
and to each of the individual modules.
JIKUSI reserves the right to modify the contents of this manual without prior warning.

JCFP-700 (Ref. 4401): power supply +12 V/+24 V for selection of polarisation.
JBAS-900 (Ref. 4411): base-support with capacity for 9 modules (dimensions:
563x257x24 mm).
JMS-0504 (Ref. 1023): stand-alone multiswitch (4 SAT inputs and 4 outputs).
NOTE
Please read the detailed information in the manuals for the modules included in
their respective packaging.
General use of the headend
This headend is designed for the emission of DVB-T (COFDM) signals from the input of free
or encrypted DVB-S/S2 signals (QPSK/8PSK to COFDM).
NOTE
The DVB-T (COFDM) output signal requires a trunk amplier for the correct distri-
bution in installations for a large number of sockets.

Basic installation and configuration
NOTE
A PC with an Ethernet network card and a CAT-5E Ethernet crossover cable are
required for communication with the headend.
NOTE
To display the graphics provided in the headend conguration program correctly,
we recommend installing the Mozilla Firefox web browser (www.mozilla.com) in
the control PC.
Assembly, connection of signals and power supply
1) Attach the modules to the base one by one following the instructions given in the
manuals for each module.
NOTE
IKUSI recommends the modules are assembled in the order shown in the above
gure:
JRight: CFP-700/CFP-507 power supplies.
JLeft: STC-200 transmodulators
JLast STC-200 on the right: Master STC-200 with the DVB-T output signal.

2) Connect the input and output signal connections in accordance with the instructions
for the module manuals and the diagram shown in the previous gure.
3) Distribute the headend power supply as symmetrically as possible (see example in
above gure).
Description of the user interface
The interface permits the user to communicate easily and comfortably with the headend.
The layout of the menus and submenus of the interface is shown in the following diagram:
The upper part of the interface displays messages about the communication status with the
headend. Each message is colour-coded:
FGreen: noties that the instruction has been carried out.
FRed: indicates that the instruction could not be performed and gives the reason.

Basic installation and configuration/IKUNET bus configuration
IKUNET bus configuration
The IKUNET bus is an Ethernet communication bus between the headend modules. The
IKUNET bus is installed using Ethernet pigtails supplied with the modules. If n is the
number of station modules, n-1 Ethernet pigtails are required.
Definition of the master module
NOTE
JRemember the PC conguration prior to the connection with the IKUNET
bus.
JThe denition of the master module must be made with an STC-200 module.
NOTE
In mixed STC and MTC congurations, an STC module may never be an MTC
module master. In these cases, the master module must be an MTC module and
the STC modules are reserved for conguration as slave modules.
1) Start the conguration of the IKUNET bus for
the headend with the modules disconnected
from each other.
2) Connect the selected module ( A ) to the PC ( B
) via its Ethernet connection and using an RJ-45
cable ( C ).

CAUTION
If the background of the eld is red, this means that the data has been modi-

be lost and the previous information state will be maintained in the headend.
NOTE
If the IKUNET bus is connected to another Ethernet bus, we recommend you limit
the IP range to the number of slave modules in the IKUNET bus, so that these
can be identied more easily.

General configuration of the headend
When the master module for the headend has been dened, access to the headend is via
the master module. To access the master module it is necessary to congure the IP access
of the PC and enter another IP address in the web browser.
1) Connect the IKUNET bus for the headend with the Ethernet pigtails supplied together
with each module (see example in the gure in the General description section).
2) In the PC, modify the IP address, following the same steps as in Definition of the
master module, but including the following parameters:
F: it should follow the root of the IP address for the master module of
