• Test the software versions of the head-end station and the QAM module and
update them if necessary. The current software versions can be found on the
website "
www.gss.de/en
".
• Connect the test receiver to the modulator output on the QAM module
G
or to
the RF output on the output collector if it is already connected (page 9).
• Adjust the test receiver to the output channel / output frequency of the chan-
nel strip to be set.
• Switch on the channel strip (modulator) if necessary (page 16). For each chan-
nel strip, there is an status LED which indicates if the channel strip is switched
on.

• Balance the output levels of the channel strips and level them to the output
levels of the modulators of other modules used if the difference in level is

In order to prevent interference within the head-end station and the cable sys-
tem, the output level of the module must be decreased by 10 dB compared to
analogue modules at 64 QAM, and by 4 dB compared to analogue modules
at 256 QAM.
