TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
DC POWERING
The Whyte Series D range can be Line Powered via any of the SAT input
and output Trunk Lines. All SAT Trunk Lines are DC passing, whilst the TERR
Trunk Line is DC isolated.
The Multiswitches have an Auxiliary DC Input which will power the Multiswitch
as well as provide power to the SAT input and output Trunk Lines when fitted
with a Whyte PSU.
A 12V DC switch is available to power a Mast Head Amplifier connected to
the TERR input. If a Mast Amplifier is not being used this must be left in the
OFF position.
SUBSCRIBER PORT MODE INDICATION
Each Subscriber Port has an LED indicator to confirm the mode status.
Legacy Mode:
Solid Green
dSCR Mode:
Blinking Green
Legacy Mode:
This is the default mode of the Multiswitch. In this mode the Multiswitch
functions like a conventional legacy Multiswitch.
dSCR Mode:
When a dSCR Set Top Box is connected, the corresponding port will
acknowledge the dSCR DiSEqC commands and switch to dSCR mode. To
revert back to legacy mode the power to the Subscriber Port needs to be
interrupted momentarily. A reboot of the Multiswitch is NOT necessary to
revert back to legacy mode.
