1.3. Description and connections

DVB 310 S module is used for the reception of free channels and DVB 310 S CI module is used for free channels as well
as for codified channels. In both cases, the received channels must follow the DVB-S rule.
Each module allows the reception in QPSK, and the following modulation in PAL/SECAM of a TV or Radio channel.
Main feature of this equipment is its modulator in Vestigial Side Band (or VSB). This modulation can be used to distribute
adjacent channels in one distribution without any intermodulation problem.
Each module has one Loop connector to cascade several modules at input and a Mix connector to do same in output
[Link] output channel is selectable between C2 and C69.
All the parameters are programmed through PRO 201 programmer, and they are monitored in the display of the
programmer or in the A/V output in the device.
DVB 310 S CI has a Common Interface slot.

Programming
DVB 310 S has two ethernet connectors. In order to program a module we have to connect the programmer to the “PRO
201” connector.

Next, we will proceed to recognize the module and to show the main menu. The firmware of the module as well as the
different submenus is shown in this menu.
We have to use the “Up” and “Down” buttons of the keyboard in order to move to the different options, and to get into the
submenus we have to press “OK” button.

Once the process is finished, please boot the device.

- Head configuration: In the case of the usual usage of a fixed configuration of channels, we can store that configuration
in the memory of the programmer, so when we want to make the installation it will be enough to dump the stored
configuration from the programmer to the device and this way we will achieve a better agility in the programming of the
modules.

1.4. Accessories and example of installation

Example of installation

Example of an installation in a dwelling with 4 floors where there are 5 satellite

channels distributed freely to all the users of the building.
The headend has 4 DVB 310 S, 1DVB 310 S CI, a SPS 310 power supply
and an AMP 310 amplifier that amplifies and equalizes the signal so all users
will receive an ideal signal in their outlets

Note: In order to guarantee the right running of the different equipments of

the installation, we recommend you to provide the inputs and outputs which
are not used with a 75Ω load (FCF).
