Page 4: Figures
1 Figures The figures show the U 100-C installed in the U 100 - 230 base unit together with the U 114 IP / PAL signal converters. Control Status display and data wheel, menu switch for slots L = left Display of management IP addresses, M = middle data IP addresses, status messages, etc. -
Page 5: Introduction
When the second power unit is also put into operation, one of the power units runs in idle mode as long as the other unit is supplying power to the device. The device may only be repaired by sending it to ASTRO along with a precise description of the error. -
Page 6: Potential Equalisation / Earthing
U 100 is in operating mode. Replacing power units After the screws on the cover of the power unit chamber (ASTRO logo) are removed, the power units can be pulled out by hand, forwards along the mounting panel. -
Page 7: Installing And Coding The Backplane
Installing and coding the backplane The scope of delivery of every U 1xx signal converter includes a backplane to create the physical connection between the signal converter and the base device. Both the mains HF connections and the network connections are connected to this backplane. The temperature controlled fan for cooling the U 1xx signal converter is located on the backplane. -
Page 8: Installing The Backplane
2.8.2 Installing the backplane In its state on delivery, the back of the U 100 base device is covered with blind panels: Phillips screws Figure 2: Position of the blind panel on delivery of U 100 To remove the blind panel, unscrew the two Phillips screws indicated in the above figure and remove the blind panel. -
Page 9: General Introduction
U 100-C switches itself on automatically. Following a boot phase (approx. 90 seconds), the ASTRO logo appears in the display. The page “Network/Rack”, on which the IP addresses appear, is accessed by turning the control knob. If the device is connected to a PC / laptop via... -
Page 10: Login
In order to change the configuration of the U 100-C, you will have to log in first. In its delivery state, the following access has been set up: Administrator access (required for configuring the controller): User name: admin Password: astro User access (required for configuring operation): User name: user Password: astro You must log in before the U 114 can be configured. -
Page 11: Time Configuration
Figure 7: Example view of the “Network settings” After successfully logging in, the network settings can be configured. These settings are: IP address (address), sub-network mask (netmask) and standard gateway (gateway). Changes are applied using the “Submit” button. Depending on the new allocation of the IP addresses, it may be necessary to adapt the IP settings of the PC / laptop to ensure access to the controller is possible. -
Page 12: Setting Up A User / Rights Management / Log-In Timeout
In delivery status, one user and one administrator have been set up on the U 100-C (admin: user name = admin, PW = astro, and user: user name = user, PW = astro, see chapter 3.2, Log in). Operating Manual U 100-C Controller... - Page 13 A new user is set up in the first blank line underneath any users already created (e.g. line 3 in fig- ure 9). The user name is entered in the column “User”, the rights assigned in the column “Access” and the password is entered in the column “Password”. This password must be entered a second time in the column “'Retype password”.

Page 14: Logging The Controller In To The U 1Xx Signal Converter
U 100-C must match the dial-in parameters in the U 1xx signal converter. In default state, two accounts for the module log in have been set up: User account: user name: controller / password: astro Admin account: user name: admin / password: astro... -
Page 15: Adding U 1Xx Signal Converters To The Configuration
3.8 Adding U 1xx signal converters to the configuration Note: Before signal converters U 1xx can be incorporated in the configuration for the U 100-C, it must be ensured that all U 1xx feature different management IP addresses, and all base unit addresses for the U 100-230 / -48 feature different values (see operating manual for the signal converter U 1xx). -
Page 16: Overview Of The Headend
Overview of the headend To simplify the overview of the modules connected to the U 100-C, the U 100-C features several overview pages. These overview pages can be accessed without logging in to the U 100-C con- troller. Changes to the configuration are not possible here. 4.1 Status display The status display can be accessed using the link “Status”... -
Page 17: Output Channel Overview / Channel Overview
4.2 Output channel overview / Channel overview In the output channel overview, all output channels and frequencies used are listed, beginning with the lowest frequency. Using this overview, the output channels can be linked with the ser- vices converted and the slot of the U 1xx signal converter. Figure 17: Example of output channel overview / channel overview 4.3 Material overview / Inventory report Using the material overview, which is accessed using the link “Inventory report”... -
