THE RF TAB

Allows you to change the RF 

power output.

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.

 An IP address appears 

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 status.

Configuring RF numbers and virtual channels

1.

 Click on the RF 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).

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.

information

In the RF 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.

 Click Apply to save changes.
