Introduction
With the TDX headend system, Triax introduces the TDX IP-pool which
provides you with the full freedom of assigning services from any input
to any set of output modules.
All incoming signals from input modules initially arrive in the TDX IP-pool.
From this pool they can be converted into any output signals you require
while simultaneously being fed to several different output modules.
Besides, the configuration of input and output modules can be readily
changed at any time.
The ability of converting any input signal to any output signal makes the T
DX headend system uniquely flexible, efficient and economical.

Box content
Unit - exterior In order to make it easy for you to work with a TDX headend unit you can re-
move the door and the top from the unit.
Everything you need to do in connection with the headend unit you can do
from the front of the unit.
Note Before you leave a headend system, the extractor fan in the output
section must be clicked into place in the middle of this section and
the door must be closed due to heat and EMC.

TDX Unit
Unit - interior Inside the TDX unit the interior is divided into two parts, an upper part - input
section - containing all the input modules, and a lower part - output section -
containing all the output modules.
In the input section covers are used to protect all module slots.
For EMC reasons only remove covers from the module slots that you want to
insert modules into.
Extractor fans have been placed in both the input section and the output
section of the unit to prevent the unit from overheating.
In the output section you can slide the cover with the extractor fans from one
side of the output section to the other when you want to install or replace
output modules.

Input modules It is possible to install up to 16 input modules in a headend unit.
Earthing/Input
Earthing The headend unit must be earthed before you install any modules, i.e. you
have to connect each headend unit to the ground with a wire from the Earth
terminal socket.
It is optional in which slots you place the individual input modules in the input
section. For convenience each slot has been given a number. An overview of
the slot numbers has been placed on the inside of the door of each unit.
Note Slot no. 1 is placed in the top left-hand corner of the input section
when you face the front of the unit.

Input
Each input module has a LED on the front to signal whether the module is
locked or not to the frequency that it is set to receive at.
You can remove an input module from a module slot without using any tools,
just use your fingers.
You install an input module by sliding the module into a module slot in the
upper section of the headend unit and click the module into place.
The module has not been configured yet.
