• Recovering the default IP If you do not remember or do not know the module IP follow the steps below: Press the reset button of the IP address (see figure 2 – (5)). The error LED will flash. Press and hold the button until the LED stops blinking.
Screen description After logging, the following screen displays. Figure 6. Each screen has 4 specific areas: Tab area: Each tab access to a specific set of parameters. Setting Parameters area: Set of parameters according to the tab selected. Edit options: Options to edit parameters. Status area: Transmodulator current state.
Receivers: It shows the status (enabled/disabled) for the 4 satellite receivers. The radio button shows which one is working and its status: green (ok) / red (error). CI modules: It shows the status (initialized/no card) for the CAM module inserted in the common interface (CI) slot. It also shows the satellite receiver selected and the number of selected services for each card.
Setting parameters Setting parameters are grouped in these tabs: Versions/store: Information about firmware and hardware and options to store/ reset/ reboot. Control: Network, password and language settings. Logs: Information about transmodulator operation. Receivers: Satellite receivers settings. CAM: Co nditional Access Module (CAM) settings. Input Services: Information about services captured from satellite receivers.
5.6.1 Versions / Store This window gives information about firmware versions and options to store/reset/reboot. Figure 8. Versions: It shows information about firmware and hardware versions for different components of the transmodulator. Internal IDs: It shows information about the identification number of the equipment, model name and serial number among others.
5.6.2 Control This window has some settings to connect to a data network, to change the password and the menu language. Figure 9. MAC: Physical address of the transmodulator. IP: IP address of the transmodulator in the network (IP by default 192.168.29.30).
5.6.3 Logs This window gives information about the transmodulator operation. Each event happening in the modulator is captured and shown on this window. Each event has a description, a tag and an identification number. Figure 10. June 2021...
5.6.4 Receivers This window has some settings to tune the satellite signal. When the satellite signal is locked, it shows information about it. Figure 11. In first place, select satellite inputs (from 1 to 4) to work on and then expand the data tree.
5.6.5 In this window user can browse through the CAM module menu. Figure 12. Each time an option is selected from the CAM module menu, user should wait until the system accesses the next menu or option. Each CAM module has its own menu settings.
5.6.6 Input Services This window gives information about services captured from satellite receivers. Figure 13 Select the same satellite inputs than selected in the “Receivers” tab. Then expand the data tree to check information about the services captured. Available information is: Transport stream identifier: It is a number that identifies the transport stream.
5.6.7 Output Services This window gives information about services to be released on the IPTV output. Figure 14. Select the IPTV outputs (from 1 to 10) to work on and then expand the data tree to set the parameters in order to release services at the output: LCNs Network identifier: It is the number that identifies the network where the signal is distributed.
5.6.8 IP Broadcast This window shows output settings in order to distribute services in IPTV format. There are 10 independent outputs available. Figure 15. For all outputs: Link status: It shows link status. The color point indicates status: green (ok) / red (down). MAC address: It shows the physical address of the device.

isable: Check to disable this IPTV output. Source port: Source port for this service. Destination IP: Destination IP for this service. Destination port: Destination port for this service (SMPTE2022 requires an even value). TS packets per IP: TS packets per IP packet (by default 7). FEC enabled: Check to enable FEC (Forward Error Correction).
