Maestro Configuration
Maestro is a configuration tool that you use optionally to
customize your system beyond what is allowed in the front
panel. For example, using Maestro you can assign a channel
number (virtual channel) independent of the RF number and
label the channels.
Connecting with Maestro
1.
Connect your computer directly to the ZeeVee modulator using a
standard Ethernet cable (not a cross-over cable) or connect the unit
and your computer to any LAN that has a DHCP server.
2.
After a few moments, an
IP address will appear at
the top of the front panel
display.
3.
Using any web browser
(Chrome or Firefox
preferred), enter the IP
address to launch Maestro.
4.
You will be directed to a login page. Your
user name is always “
admin
.” The
default password is “admin” but you can
change the password. Login is case-
sensitive.
5.
After you log in, the Maestro Status tab appears. Here you can see the
general information status.
Configuring RF numbers and virtual channels
1.
Click on the Channel Plan tab.
2.
Click in the RF # field and enter the RF number as you choose from
the RF Frequency Map (on page 7).
Make sure you’ve reviewed the RF
Frequency Map Important Notes before completing this task.
3.
Click in the Channel # field and enter a channel number (virtual
channel). The channel number is what the TV displays. You can
configure a channel number two ways:
• As a dotted number — Enter the number with a “.” following it, for
example, “5.1”. This is the default display.
• As a dotless number — Enter the number with a “#” preceding it,
for example, “#5”.
Note that you can choose a channel number that is different
from the RF#. For instance, if your RF# is 3, you can choose a
channel number of 10.1 or #10.
4.
Click Apply to save changes. Your unit stores configurations so they
are not lost on power-down.
5
. Run Auto Scan at TV (see Tuning your channel at the HDTV, page 5)
when you have saved configuration changes.
Labeling channels with channel and content
information
1.
In the Channel Plan tab, click in the Name field and enter the channel
short name (up to 7 characters).
2.
Click in the Long Name field and enter the long or more descriptive
channel name (up to 63 characters). The TV displays these names and
descriptions when the channel is changed or info guide information is
requested.
3.
Click Apply to save changes.
