Page 11: Switching On Your Multibox Device
Switching on your Multibox device Switch On the Multibox using the power switch 9, which is located at the rear side. The Multibox connects to the network and obtains network IP settings from the DHCP server (LAN connection LED blinks). Once the connection is established, the LAN connection indicator LED lights permanently. Configuration The Multibox can be configured using a PC that is connected within the same network. The configuration is done through a web interface and requires to login the device first. The default name of your Multibox device is ‘myMultibox-xxxxxx’ where xxxxxx are the 6 right-most characters of the unit’s MAC address and this is how it will be displayed on the network. You can change the device name later on in the configuration menu The MAC address of the unit appears on the sticker at the bottom side of the unit. You can access the login page and the configuration menus using any PC connected in the same network as follows: aCCeSS vIa “My CoMpUter”... - Page 12 ® Windows XP • Open “My Computer”. • Select “Network environment”. • Double click on the myMultibox-xxxxxx icon. If the Multibox is not displayed, select “Show symbols for network UPnP devices” in window “My Network Places”, section “Network tasks”. DIreCt aCCeSS vIa Web broWSer Your Multibox device supports the Apple’s Bonjour* protocol. If you are using an Apple computer or if Apple’s Bonjour software is installed on your Window PC, then simply type the following address in the address bar of the browser: myMultibox-xxxxxx.local Where the “xxxxxx”...
- Page 13 * Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks using industry standard IP protocols. It is a key component of Apple applications e.g., iTunes, iPhoto and others. If your PC does not have Apple’s Bonjour software installed, type the IP address, which was assigned to your Mul- tibox device by the local DHCP server, and, separated by a “:”, port 8080 e.g. 192.168.0.166:8080. Subsequently press “Enter”. This IP address was assigned from the network router and can be found in the configuration menu of the router (the DHCP protocol must be activated in the router). logIn WInDoW The default password is “admin”. Enter the Password and click on button “Login”(Anmelden). The status page is displayed.

- Page 16 Dlna ConFIgUratIon Your Multibox device is also a DLNA-compatible server and therefore can stream Live Satellite TV to DLNA Media Player Client devices and/or software applications (DLNA Clients) that are not standard SAT>IP Clients. It is im- portant to understand that using DLNA for Live TV streaming is limited to audio and video only and other informa- tion such as EPG, teletext or subtitling cannot be accessible by the DLNA Clients. If you would like to use DLNA Clients, you have to enable the DLNA Server option as follows: 1. Select the “DLNA” menu 2. Check the “DLNA aktiv” check box and confirm by clicking on “Save” (Speichern). Unlike SAT>IP Clients that holds and manages the TV/Radio channel list, the DLNA Clients are relying on channel lists provided by the DLNA Server. Your Multibox device stores a default channel list (Main TV List) of German ASTRA 19.2° TV channels. The channel list is stored as a text file that can be edited manually if needed. Under the “DLNA Main TV List” section you can upload an updated channel list (Main TV List) which you first need to download from www.inverto.tv/multibox.

Page 20: Firmaware Update Over The Usb Port
Firmware update over the USb port Note: This firmware update option does not require a PC. 1. Switch off your Multibox device. 2. Copy the new firmware file to an USB stick at the root directory. The stick must be formatted with the “FAT32” file system. 3. Insert the USB stick into the upper USB socket at the back panel of your Multibox device. 4. Switch on your Multibox device. The firmware will be updated automatically. You will see a “running light” on the front panel LEDs 12. At the end of the firmware update all front panel LEDs will switch on and then off. Then the device will start normally. Factory reset The ‘Factory Reset’ function will reset the device to the original factory settings. This means that if you have cre- ated a favourite list, it will be deleted during the ‘Factory Reset’ process. If you want to keep your favourite list for future use, you will have to Export the favourite list to a file first and store it on your PC. After the ‘Factory Reset’ ended, you can import the favourite list file from your PC or create a new one. Similarly, updates of the main TV list (Main TV List) must be loaded again. To perform ‘Factory Reset’: Switch off your Multibox device 9, press and hold the reset button 5 on the rear panel of your Multibox while you power on the device and keep it pressed for 10 seconds . Client Devices iOS Smart phones/Tablets 1. Install the “Elgato Sat>IP” App on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. 2. Start the App. The Elgato SAT>IP Application allows you to receive all unscrambled (FTA) SD programmes which are present at the Sat inputs after a satellite scan is done. With Microsoft Windows® operating system: Using the programme “DVBViewer” you can get access to your Multibox. Herein also Teletext and EPG is avail- able. DLNA Clients As DLNA is an open standard, hardware as well as several software (Apps) which supports DLNA are available. If the DLNA Server option of your Multibox is activated, you can receive the channels of the “main TV list” (“Main TV... - Page 21 Example using the VLC player: Select “Media” -> “Open Network Stream” and type the network URL. The URL must look as follows (values in square brackets are place holders): rtsp://[Multibox IP address]/?src=[DiSEqC command]&fe=[tuner]&freq=[satellite frequency]&sr=[ symbol rate]&pol =[polarization]&msys=[demodulation standard]&pids=[PAT,V-PID.A-PID.PMT] An example should look like this: rtsp://192.168.0.166/?src=1&freq=10744&sr=22000&pol=h&msys=dvbs&pids=0,400,401,402 In this example the Multibox device with an IP address 192.168.0.166 will tune to DiSEqC Position A (src=1), fre- quency 10744MHz (freq=10744), symbol rate 22MSym/s (sr=22000), polarization horizontal (pol=h), DVB-S mod- ulation (msys=dvbs), and the necessary PIDs – PAT pid, PMT-pid, Video-pid and Audio-pid - (pids=0,400,401,402). As there is no frontend selected (fe=[Tuner]), this will be handled automatically by the Multibox device which will assign a free front end (if available) for executing the command. You can find the values necessary for satellite reception in the internet (e.g. at www.kingofsat.net).
