1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description
PROMAX DT-511 module is an affordable H.264/AVC DVB Encoder. It
includes HDMI and TS-ASI inputs and offers TSoIP and DVB-T outputs.
Because of its excellent enconding performance, bandwidth efficiency
and moderate price it is an ideal solution to add High Definition to your
programme roaster.
Applications include but are not limited to hotels, ships, convention
centres, hospitals, Cable TV networks, etc.
The figure below describes the operation scheme for the DT-511
module.

∗ The safety could not be assured if the instructions for use are
not closely followed.
∗ Use only with other DT series modules and for power supply and Control
those indicated at the Specifications.
∗ Remember that voltages higher than 70 V DC or 33 V AC rms are
dangerous.
∗ Use this instrument under the specified environmental conditions.
∗ The user is not allowed to perform changes inside the equipment. Any
change on the equipment must be done exclusively by specialized staff.
∗ Do not obstruct the ventilation system of the equipment.

2.2 Maintenance
2.2.1 Cleaning Recommendations
CAUTION
To clean the cover, take care the instrument is disconnected.
CAUTION
Do not use scented hydrocarbons or chlorized solvents. Such
products may attack the plastics used in the construction of the cover.
The cover should be cleaned by means of a light solution of detergent
and water applied with a soft cloth.
Dry thoroughly before using the system again.
CAUTION
Do not use for the cleaning of the front panel and particularly the
viewfinders, alcohol or its derivatives, these products can attack the
mechanical properties of the materials and diminish their useful time of life.

3 DT-511 CONFIGURATION
The DT-511 module is controlled and configured by means of a
computer directly connected to the NMS web port or through an Ethernet
network.
3.1 Login
The default IP of this device is 192.168.29.5.
To connect to the module, the IP address of the computer has to be
changed in order to have the same IP range of the module.
If, as a example, the PC IP address is 192.168.99.252, it would be
changed to 192.168.29.xxx (xxx can be 0 to 255 except 5 to avoid conflict
with module IP address), then we need to use web browser to connect the
device with our PC.
When communication is established, the user can change the IP
address of the module to suit the range of the Ethernet network or PC. Write
down the new IP address if you change the default IP address of the module,
as it is required each time you want to communicate. If after changing, you
do not know the IP of the module, you can use a network analyser software
like "Wireshark" (freeshare) to find out the IP.
Check the computer IP is not the same that the module IP to avoid
conflicts between IPs.
Then connect the PC and the device with a net cable, and use a ping
command to confirm they are on the same network segment and
communication between them can be established.
Once the communication is checked, open a web browser on the PC,
enter the module IP and press ENTER.
When we connect the device, it will display Login screen (figure 2).
Enter the Username and Password (both the default Username and Password
are “admin”) then click on ‘Login’ to start the device setting.
