Cabling
1. Connect a potential equalisation wire (Cu, ≥ 4 mm
2
) to the earthing screw; see
⑨
in Fig. 1, P. 3.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable
1)
to the RJ45 socket on the computer, if required, by means of a switch or router; see
Fig. 4, P. 5. The head-end will now function as the
master
.
3. If UFOmini devices are connected to a system via UFOlink, please cascade each additional device with a USB 2.0
cable according to the following specifications (Fig. 4). In this case:
–
Each additional head-end functions as a
slave
which is controlled by the master via the USB cable.
–
The USB cable must have a type A plug on one end and a type B plug on the other end.
–
The plugs must be inserted into the master and slave at the appropriate UFO link interface ports (
⑧
in Fig. 1).
–
The cascading up to four head-ends permits simultaneous access to all devices via
a single
IP connection, and
also allows system functions that apply to both devices, such as common NIT generation incl. LCN.
–
Only head-ends of the same type can be connected by USB.
4. Connect the RF signal cables for the antenna, cable network and output to the head-ends; see
①
,
②
and
⑤
in
Fig. 1, P. 3.
Make sure the input and output cables are correctly assigned to the master and the slave.
2)
5. It is recommended that each unused RF input and output is terminated with a 75-Ω resistor such as the EMK 03 from
Kathrein.
6. Check that the supply voltage matches the particulars on the rating plate, then connect the head-ends to the power
supply.
➯
The head-ends will start up and the status LED will show the operating status
3)
.
1)
CAT5 or higher is recommended, crossed over for a direct connection to the computer and not crossed over for connections by
means of a switch/router.
2)
Connect the RF signal cables for the antenna and/or cable network to the master. The RF signal cables regulate the signals
which are output from the master. The same applies to the slave, where present. Compilation of the signals is performed by the
USW 800.
