The high compact BLANKOM Satellite –L-Band-Switch Matrix BMM-1716 is equipped with a Web-Interface
which can be operated by a normal browser via an Ethernet IP connection also remotely to flexible adjust and
select every SAT-Input-port (incl. terrestrial pathway) to any of the 16 output ports to be routed or multiplied. With
the inbuilt RF-level monitoring circuit the user always gets the qualitative information about the signal and
displayed in the web-interface. In parallel the LNC powering is monitored and shown. This Matrix comes with dual
redundant power supplies for securing highest reliability.

installations. This SAT/T(2) matrix is an ideal equipment for a flexible SAT/T distribution as a Headend-Input
selection from max 4 SAT-positions. Even useful by using several units for the pre-selection of more than 4 SAT
positions (incl. DVB-T/T2) to active or passive distribution equipment like splitter/taps or cascadable Multiswitch
devices, it allows a flexible combination also for an almost complex SAT/T network serving multiple Signal-Input
combinations.

Diese äußerst kompakte Blankom Satelliten- L-Band Matrix BMM-1716 verfügt über einen WEB-Controller,
der von einem Internet-Browser über einen Ethernet-Anschluß durch ein IP-Netzwerk - auch aus der Ferne -
eingerichtet werden kann um flexibel jeden SAT-Eingang inkl. einem terrestrischen Signaleingang auf einen
beliebigen Ausgangs-Port zu schalten (routen) oder zu multiplizieren. Mit einem internen RF-Signal-
Überwachungsschaltkreis wird jeder Eingangs-Signalpegelstatus von den jeweiligen Satelliteneingängen
gemessen und im Web-Interface ersichtlich abgebildet. Parallel dazu werden die Versorgungsspannungen der
LNBs überwacht. Diese Matrix ist mit 2 Netzteilen in Redundanzschaltung ausgestattet, um eine hohe
Verfügbarkeit zu gewährleisten.
Diese Hoch performante Matrix arbeitet autark und ist als 19“- 1HE Gerät speziell für den Einsatz in 19 Zoll
Schränken entworfen worden. Damit ist diese SAT/T-Matrix für eine individuelle flexible Eingangs-
Signalversorgung von Kopfstellen, Aufbereitungs- und Verteilanlagen, Überwachungs- und Aufnahmesystemen
als auch für Test- und Laborprüfplätze optimal einsetzbar. Eine multiple Anwendung ermöglicht z.B. eine flexible
Zusammenschaltung und Programmierung von nachfolgenden passiven und gemischten SAT/T2 -
Multischaltersystemen ermöglicht eine konzeptionelle Erweiterung auf Anlagen mit mehr als den herkömmlichen
4 SAT-Positionen.

The SAT IF switch matrix can be mounted into a 19“ rack or on a wall, by using the wall adaptor.
The environmental temperature may not exceed 55 °C. The main power should be disconnected for any work on the device.
The device must be grounded according to EN 60728-11 standard. The insulation of the grounding cable should be stripped
down approximately 15 mm and the cable must be fixed by using the grounding screw designated on the device.
NOTE:
After a power failure, all configured data are kept & stored in a non-volatile memory.
All assembly and connection work must be carried out before the unit is connected to the mains voltage supply!
Observe the safety instructions.
The SAT IF signals and the terrestrial signal must be fed into the corresponding connections on the back of the
de-vice using suitable cables. The output connectors are located at the front panel.
Once all signal cabling has been connected, the power supply cable can be connected and the device will
switch on. The operating status is indicated by LEDs on the front panel.
NOTE
At delivery, identical network parameters are set for all devices. The setup and configuration of several devices
within a network should therefore be carried out with each unit connected one at a time securing not to overlap
the device IP addresses.
The unit can be reset to its delivery network configuration and access data status at any time using a specific
reset operation. Firstly, remove the power plug from the mains. Then press and hold the button Reset, located
at the rear side of the device and reconnect the power plug to the mains. After a short time, the status LED next
to the button flashes red/green and the button can then be released. The network parameters will now be set to
the values shown in the following table.

Internet browser (e.g. Windows EDGE, Mozilla Firefox, or others recommended)
Note on setting up a network connection:
PC and the Electronic Switch Matrix (MATRIX) are connected to the network via an Ethernet cable. If the
MATRIX device is connected directly to the PC, use a crossed-link cable (crossover cable) for connection. For
connection acquisition, the IP addresses of the devices must first be matched.
In the factory state, the IP address is: 192.168.1.128. The address of the network connection in the PC must
be adapted to the IP address of the MATRIX (subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, IP address: 192.168.1.xxx). xxx
must not be exactly the same one as of the MATRIX devices. The digits 0, 255 or already used IP addresses
are not permitted. If a proxy server is used, it must be disabled in the network connections. These settings are

formation about possible errors on the SAT IF inputs. A green tick shows error free operation. If a red
cross is displayed, there is an error at the associated inputs, e.g. short circuit on the connected line.
