4. Commissioning

4.1 Network Environment

The Octopus Net can be used in network environments with LAN, WLAN and PowerLan. For
trouble-free operation we recommend explicitly the following connection speeds:
LAN 100 Mbit/s network, recommended 1000 Mbit/s (GigaBit) environment
Wi-Fi 54 Mbit/s network, recommended 300 Mbit/s network environment
PowerLan 54 Mbit/s network, recommended 300 Mbit/s network environment
The five ports of the integrated Gigabit switch should preferably be used for terminal devices
with SAT > IP Client, since they already have the ideal Quality of Service (QoS) configuration
for the operation of SAT> IP as a factory setting.

4.2 Input signal

One asset of our Octopus NET is the modular design and expandability for more tuner
modules. Depending on the model, the DuoFlex S2 (DVB-S2) and DuoFlex C/C2/T/T2 (DVB-C /
DVB-C2 / DVB-T / DVB-T2) series of Digital Devices can be used as a tuner.
