or other satellite receive devices will not be able to switch
between the different polarities and bands.
►
A multiswitch is also needed with some (older) LNBs that
have a power consumption greater than the 250mA
recommended from the LNB connection on the S-Box.
►
With a Quad LNB a multiswitch can be used if more than 4
satellite receive devices are required to operate
independently of each other.
Coaxial cable terminated in f-type connectors to run between
the TVRO and the S-Box, either directly or via a multiswitch.
One or more communications devices for the uplink data
connection. Please check with us for compatibility of the uplink
device with the S-Box when planning the installation. Cabling
between the uplink communications device(s) and the S-Box,
terminating in either an RS232 15 pin d-type connector, a USB
plug or Ethernet connection. If multiple devices are to be
connected via Ethernet, a D-Link DUB E100 USB to Ethernet
converter is required for the second and each subsequent
device to be connected.
At least one computer. The S-Box can provide internet
connectivity to any type of personal computer that uses
Microsoft, Apple Mac or Linux operating systems. To access
the S-Box’s User Interface the computer should have a
JavaScript-enabled web browser such as Internet Explorer 5,
6 or 7, Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape 6 and above, Mac Safari,
Mac MS Explorer.
If only one computer is to be connected directly to the S-Box,
an Ethernet crossover cable or switch or hub or router or
wireless access point is needed to make the connection.
If more than one computer is to be connected to the S-Box, an
Ethernet switch, hub, router or wireless access point can be
used with the relevant Ethernet cables. Or you can connect
directly using an Ethernet crossover cable.
It is recommended that the S-Box is powered from a UPS as
power surges, fluctuations or interruptions can cause damage
to the hard disk drive. Recommended minimum specifications
are 100W output power capacity and 240/220 Volts AC or 110
Volts AC input/output voltages.
