Automatic sensing of 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet connections is supported. For a
1000 Mbit connection, the Ethernet cable must be a category 6 cable.
The IP address for both the electrical (RJ45) and the optical (SFP) connectors for data
is the same: consequently both cannot be used simultaneously. Both inputs are
automatically activated by IP connection. The first port activated (establishing a link
towards the router) will be the active port. To activate the other port, the cable on the
active port must first be removed.
3.3.2 ASI Input
Each ASI input module has 3 independent ASI inputs. The ASI connector is a 75Ω
BNC connector. The maximum input rate per connector is 213 Mbit/s in burst mode.
The ASI module is equipped with an electrical (RJ45 connector) for management.
Automatic sensing of 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet connections is supported. For a
1000 Mbit connection, the Ethernet cable must be a category 6 cable.
3.3.3 QPSK Input
Each QPSK input module has 4 independent QPSK L-Band inputs. Each input can
either be connected directly to an LNB, or alternatively to an L-Band distribution
amplifier or a switch. Each input is a 75Ω F connector. The maximum input level is -
25 dBm. The recommended input level is between -30 dBm and -40 dBm.
One ASI output port is available for monitoring. Any of the four QPSK inputs can be
copied to the ASI output without affecting the services in use. The ASI connector is a
75Ω BNC connector.
The QPSK module is equipped with an electrical (RJ45) connector for management.
The connection supports an auto sense 10/100/1000 Mbit connection. For a 1000 Mbit
connection, the Ethernet cable must be a category 6 cable.
The QPSK input module has been replaced by the DVB-S/S2 Input module. The QPSK
input module is still supported in SW.
3.3.4 DVB-S/S2 Input
The DVBS-S/S2 supports both DVB-S (QPSK) and DVB-S2 (DVB-S2 is a SW option).
Each QPSK input module has 4 independent QPSK L-Band inputs. Each input can
either be connected directly to an LNB, or alternatively to an L-Band distribution
amplifier or a switch. Each input is a 75Ω F connector. The maximum input level is -
25 dBm. The recommended input level is between -30 dBm and -40 dBm.
One ASI output port is available for monitoring. Any of the four QPSK inputs can be
copied to the ASI output without affecting the services in use. The ASI connector is a
75Ω BNC connector.
The QPSK module is equipped with an electrical (RJ45) connector for management.
The connection supports an auto sense 10/100/1000 Mbit connection. For a 1000 Mbit
connection, the Ethernet cable must be a category 6 cable.
3.3.5 COFDM Input
Each COFDM input module has one 75Ω F connector and can tune up to 4
independent frequencies. The maximum input level is -25 dBm. The recommended
level is between -30 dBm and -40 dBm.
