2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The SIG7710 module receives a digital signal coming from a satellite antenna; it selects a series of pro- grams within the transponder and sends them to the IP network. The resulting IP stream is sent in mul- ticast mode to reduce the global IP traffic on the network because it is sent by the Ethernet switches...
3. PRODUCT INSTALLATION The SIG7710 module is installed in the sub-rack of the NewHead Line (SIG7901 or SIG7902) series as per the following photos. Take the module out of its packaging and install it in the wanted position. The packing contains the following parts: •...

That way, the configuration of all operational parameters can be completed (see the paragraph of PRO- GRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS – SIG7710 WEB MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE);...
5. PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS The SIG7710 module programming is carried out in 2 consecutive steps: using the universal TPE programmer, select the IP address of the module and set the main op- eration parameters, such as the selection of the satellite transponder and the selection of the digital programs, to be converted (refer to the user’s instructions of the universal programmer and the...
5.1 DEFAULT PARAMETERS The SIG7710 module can be restored to the original factory settings (default parameters). To set these parameters, refer to the TPE GENERAL MENU (HEADEND SETUP --> FACTORY SETUP --> SIG7710). 5.2 INITIAL PROGRAMMING THROUGH THE TPE Connect the universal TPE programmer to the interconnection module of the sub-rack. The TPE...

Repeat the operation for each program that you want to activate on the network. 9. Repeat all the programming operations for all the SIG7710 modules that will make up the headend. After programming, all streamers can be connected to the main network (refer to the following CON- NECTION OF THE SIG7710 MODULE TO THE LOCAL NETWORK paragraph).
(eg. Restricted access PC configurations privi- leges, etc.). 7. FIRMWARE UPDATING INSTRUCTIONS To update the firmware of the SIG7710 modules, refer to the download section of our Internet web site www.fracarro.it.
