3.5 INSTALLATION
The V40-10HDMI can be programmed with one of the following ways:
●
From the front panel display
●
From the USB interface
3.5.1 Installation using the Front panel display
The user is able to install very quick and easy multiple V40-10HDMIs using the SSD + Button interface of the front panel
of the device, following the steps below:
1
st
Step
Power up the V40-10HDMI by connecting the external power supply. The V40-10HDMI will need 20-30 seconds to

th
Step

Profile mode
” by pressing the Channel/Profile button (No 1 / Figure 1.) and the “Profile LED” will be illuminated
indicating that “Profile” mode is selected.
How Profiles works
In an installation all the modulators (or Mux in general) need to have different values of the following fields to avoid
conflicts in the automated scan of the TV sets:
Program Name
Service ID
TS ID
For that reason, the user must always select a different Profile number for every modulator in the system starting from
Number #1.
Eg. Let’s say we want to install three modulators in a CATV network. In step No 4 we will choose:
● Profile Νο
1
for the
1
st
modulator
o meaning: Program Name = DTV
1
o meaning: Service ID =
1
o meaning: TS ID = 224
0
● Profile Νο
2
for the
2
nd
modulator
o meaning: Program Name = DTV
2
o meaning: Service ID =
2
o meaning: TS ID = 224
1
● Profile Νο
3
for the
3
rd
modulator
o meaning: Program Name = DTV
3
o meaning: Service ID =
3
o meaning: TS ID = 224
2
As a result, all the above modulators have different values in the above fields.
Caution!!!
● Every time we choose a different Profile number, the
V40-10HDMI will apply a full reset to itself that will last for 20-30
seconds.
● Using the USB interface
enables the ability to add custom values to the above fields.
3.5.2 Installation using the USB interface
The V40-10HDMI provides a USB interface with the appropriate software for advanced programming. For more
