Cabling
1. Connect a potential equalisation wire (Cu, ≥ 4 mm
2. Connect an Ethernet cable
Fig. 4, P. 5. The head-end will now function as the master.
3. If a second head-end is present: Connect the second head-end to the first head-end using a USB 2.0 cable (Fig. 4).
In this case:
– The second head-end functions as a slave which is controlled by the master via the USB cable.
– The USB cable must have a type A plug on one end and a type B plug on the other end.
– The plugs must be inserted into the master and slave at the appropriate UFO link interface ports (⑧ in Fig. 1).
– The cascading of two head-ends permits simultaneous access to both devices via a single IP connection, and
also allows system functions that apply to both devices, such as common NIT generation incl. LCN.
– Only head-ends of the same type can be connected by USB.
4. Connect the RF signal cables for the antenna, cable network and output to the head-ends; see ①, ② and ⑤ in
Fig. 1, P. 3.
Make sure the input and output cables are correctly assigned to the master and the slave.
5. It is recommended that each unused RF input and output is terminated with a 75-Ω resistor such as the EMK 03 from
Kathrein.
6. Check that the supply voltage matches the particulars on the rating plate, then connect the head-ends to the power
supply.
