Connections; Installing The Sat-To-Ip Router; Requirements For Accessories - Telestar DIGIBIT R1 Operating Manual

4.1. Connections

The notes set out here refer to the illustration on page 6:
a.
Mains power adapter.
Connect the mains power adapter with the TELESTAR DIGIBIT R1 and connect it with
a wall socket
b.
Antenna inputs.
Connect the output/s of an LNB or multi-switch with the DIGIBIT R1.
c.
Use a network cable to connect the DIGIBIT R1 with a DSL router
d.
Use the USB interface to connect external storage media with the DIGIBIT R1 in order
to carry out software updates.
5. Installation of the Sat-to-IP router
This installation guide is intended to be a rough guide when installing the Sat-to-IP
router. The information was intentionally kept very general, as home networks can be
constructed very differently from case to case. When in doubt, please consult a profes-
sional technician.

5.1. Requirements for accessories

To ensure the DIGIBIT R1 functions smoothly within a network environment, certain
minimum requirements for accessories must be adhered to:
+ Network speed (LAN): please use only DSL routers that provide a data
throughput via LAN of at least 1000Mbit/s.
+ Network speed (WLAN/wi-fi): to ensure a smooth operation of the wi-fi func-
tion, the data throughput of the DSL router used should be at least 300Mbit/s,
as you may otherwise experience transmission problems and blocks appearing,
particular where several clients are connected to a WLAN.
+ Data throughput via WLAN decreases with increasing distance between the
router and the connected product. If you wish to maintain a WLAN (wi-fi) con-
nection over a longer distance, we recommend you use a WLAN repeater. Here,
too, the product should support a minimum speed of 300 Mbit/s.
+ Other network function (e.g. access to the Internet) may be disturbed where
many clients have access via WLAN. Where possible, therefore, use the Sat-to-
IP function via LAN.
+ To bridge longer distances, you can also use so-called Powerline or dLAN
adapters (network via mains power lines). Here, widely different data through-
put rates can be achieved, depending on the manufacturer of the equipment. If
in doubt, ensure the dLAN adapter used provides the same data throughput as
your DSL router.
