Satellite multiswitch systems star networks, represent the standard method of
installation for satellite systems with multiple endpoints (2 to 50 as a rule), which
are frequently encountered in rural areas. The signals are routed from a multiswitch
to each terminal device (e.g. satellite receiver) via dedicated lines in star-shaped
distribution. Frequently, an Ethernet connection can be coupled to a dLAN over what
is referred to as terrestrial input. You need to make sure that the terrestrial input is
passive, and equipped for transmitting a 5 MHz to 65 MHz frequency band. The
multiswitch system can possibly be switched over or retrofitted. As an alternative,
each of the subscribers can be coupled to a device pair (master/slave) behind the
multiswitch.
