interface. The webGUI will indicate this with a warning message. This message will be
shown every time you browse to another menu item. Please install one of the above
browsers to avoid this.
LOGGING IN TO THE DEVICE
Connect the module to your PC.
The module will obtain an IP address from your PC. For this operation to work,
it is important that the PC is NOT set with a manual IP address!
Set the adapter to obtain an automatic IP address as explained in the following proce-
dure (for Microsoft Windows 7®)
Navigate to the Control Panel (Start Control Panel).
Enter the Network and Sharing Center and go to the Adapter Settings.

9
Right-click on the Local Area Connection and choose Properties.
Double click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to enter the IP settings
of your adapter.
Make sure the ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ checkbox is selected.
Click OK to save the settings.

GENERAL CONFIGURATION
ABOUT
The ‘about’ tab gives some basic information about the device. Here, you can find
the serial number, the software version and release date. These are useful to check
if you have the latest software version installed on your device. New versions can
be found on the website. If you experience serious problems, you can download a
troubleshoot information file. Save this file, and mail it to us for analysis.
Open your network browser, and surf to the name of the module. The name of the first
module is mod1, the name of the second module is mod2. You will now log in to the
module. After logging in, the Summary window appears.
On this screen, you see all the services, streamed by this module. The type of module,
the status and the language are visible on every screen. In the picture above, the status
‘LED’ is green, indicating that there are no alarms. The alarm status is shown when you
move over the status ‘LED’ with your mouse.
status
‘LED’

11
GLOBAL
Here you can configure the hostname of the module. This name can be used to ac-
cess the module by simply typing it into your browser as the address and surf to it.
This is more convenient than using the IP address.
Just enter ‘http://hostname’ into your favorite browser (not case sensitive)
and press enter:
FACTORY RESET
All settings can be reset to default by means of a factory reset.

12
FIRMWARE UPGRADE
To upgrade the firmware of the device, click the Firmware upgrade menu item.
Click on the BROWSE button, and open the upgrade file. Click UPLOAD to send the file
to the device, this will install the new firmware on the device.

refreshed and the added service will appear.
• LCN (Logical Channel Number): A logical channel number, also known
as virtual channel, is a channel designation which differs from that of the
actual channel (or range of frequencies) on which the signal travels.

update the current service,
this icon will become active if some setting has changed
delete the service from the list, pressing this icon will remove
the program permanently (you can add it again)
NOTES
The bitrate bar shows the current bitrate of the selected multiplex.
The number of services per multiplex is restricted to 8. Depending on the
model, the module disposes of 4 multiplexes, each capable of transporting 8
programs. The maximum bitrate per MUX is 32 Mbps (depending on the
modulation parameters). It is however advisable to keep a buffer of 4 Mbps,
to prevent possible overflow (bitrate of services can fluctuate in time).
Select another multiplex by clicking on the tabs on top of the page.
