2 Introduction

The S300 is a satellite receiver that enables the reception of IP and Video data carried on a DVB-S2 or DVB-

S compliant satellite signal.

Please refer to Figure 1 below for a better understanding of the S300 operation. The desired DVB-S2 satellite

signal is received using an appropriately sized satellite dish (not covered in this manual). A Low Noise Block

(LNB) downconverter (not covered in this manual) is used translate the incoming Radio Frequency (RF)

signal to an Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal. The S300 receives this I/F signal and extracts the IP content,

which is then passed onto the S300 LAN for distribution or viewing via computers connected to the LAN. The

received data type may be IP data or may be MPEG video data, depending on the S200 model being

employed.

The S300 Management Console resides on a PC connected to the S300 via an Ethernet crossover cable or

through an Ethernet hub. The Console is used to perform the following functions:



Configure IP address network parameters,



Specify satellite tuning parameters,



Specify decryption parameters,



Select DVB information streams by Program IDentification number (PID), and



Map audio/video PIDs to multicast address(es).

Once configured, the S300 will retain its settings and continue to forward data transmitted to you by your

service provider even after restarting the S300 or your PC.

The S300 Receiver does not require a computer to continue operation. Once the configuration has been set,

you should have no need to change them.
