INSTALLATION GUIDE
This section is to explain the cautions the users must know in some case that possibly injure
may bring to users when it’s used or installed. For this reason, please read all details here and
make in mind before installing or using the product.
2.1 ACQUISITION CHECK
When user opens the package of the device, it is necessary to check items according to packing
list. Normally it should include the following items:

P a g e | 8
➢TL-9916 16 in 1 IP QAM Modulator
➢User’s Manual
➢Power Cord
If any item is missing or mismatching with the list above, please contact local dealer.
2.2 INSTALLATION PREPARATION
When users install device, please follow the below steps. The details of installation will be
described at the rest part of this chapter. Users can also refer rear panel chart during the
installation.
The main steps of the installation include:
➢Checking the possible device missing or damage during the transportation
➢Preparing relevant environment for installation
➢Installing TL-9916 16 in 1 IP QAM Modulator
➢Connecting signal cables
➢Connecting communication port (if it is necessary)

When user installs machine frame array in one machine hall, the distance
between 2 rows of machine frames should be 1.2~1.5m and the distance
against wall should be no less than 0.8m.
Machine Hall
Floor
Electric Isolation, Dust Free

Power
Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting power are
independent toeach other. Devicepower requiresAC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz
or AC 220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please carefully check before running.
2.5 GROUNDING REQUIREMENT
➢All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of devices. Also,
they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and interference rejection.
Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
➢Coaxial cables’ outer conductor and isolation layer should keep proper electric conducting
with the metal housing of device.

P a g e | 10
➢Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
➢Users shouldmake sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be antirust.
➢It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
➢The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less
than 25mm2.
2.5.1 FRAME GROUNDING
All the machine frames should be connected with protective copper strip. The
grounding wire should be as short as possible and avoid circling. The area of
the conduction between grounding wire and grounding strip should be no less
than 25mm2.
2.5.2 DEVICE GROUNDING
Connecting the device’s grounding rod to frame’s grounding pole with copper
wire.
2.6 WIRE’S CONNECTION
Power Cord Connection:
The power socket is located on the right of rear panel, and the power switch is on the left of
front panel. User can plug one end of the power cord to the socket and insert the other end to
AC power. When the device solely connects to protective ground, it should adopt independent
way, say, share the same ground with other devices. When the device adopts united way, the
grounding resistance should be smaller than 1Ω.
Caution: Before connecting power cord to TL-9916 16 in 1 IP QAM Modulator, user should
set the power switch to “OFF”.

P a g e | 11
Signal and NMS Cable Connection
The signal connections include the connection of input signal cable and the connection of output
signal cable.
CHAPTER 3
WEB NMS MANAGEMENT
User can only control and set the configuration in computer by connecting the device to web
NMS Port. User should ensure that the computer’s IP address is different from this device’s IP
address; otherwise, it would cause IP conflict.
3.1 LOGIN
The default IP address of this device is 192.168.0.136.
Connect the PC (Personal Computer) and the device with a net cable and use ping command to
confirm they are on the same network segment. For instance, the PC IP address is
192.168.99.252, we then change the device IP to 192.168.99.xxx (xxx can be 0 to 255 except
252 to avoid IP conflict).
Launch the web browser an input the device IP address in the browser’s address bar and press
Enter.
It will display the Login interface. Input the Username and Password (Both the default
Username and Password are “admin”. And then click “Login” to start the device setting.
