Congratulations on purchasing the MLF-100. You now own a high quality, professional
DTV headend. To get the most out of your purchase, please take the time to carefully
read through this manual.
3. INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 - Description
The MLF-100 is a very powerful, all-in-one device, able to receive up to 4 independent
satellite (DVB-S/S2), terrestrial (DVB-T/T2) or cable (DVB-C) signals and convert them
in 4 x DVB-T/C RF output channels. It supports “pool” technology, meaning that the
user is able to select any program from any of the 4 inputs and assign it to any of the
4 RF providing great flexibility.
The embedded web server of the MLF-100 provides a very friendly user interface as
well as the ability of remote or local control of the device via Ethernet.
Its small size and its powerful features renders the MLF-100 the ideal solution in cases
we want to distribute FTA (Free-To-Air) TV programs coming from satellite (DVB-S/S2),
terrestrial (DVB-T/T2) or cable (DVB-C) sources to a CATV installation using the DVB-
T/C technology.

3.2.1 - Auto-reset functions and watchdog
During the normal operation of the MLF-100, the main CPU monitors all the internal
parts in order to ensure that the device works normally. In case of an internal error or
module failure, the MLF-100 immediately initiates the recovery procedure by resetting
the appropriate module or the device. Finally, watchdog timers ensure that the device
will be reset in case of CPU failure.
