1 Purpose of Use and Special Features
These devices are intended to provide up to 8 subscribers with 4 Sat IF banks (e.g. Astra 19.2º)
and the terrestrial signal via one cable.
If 8 connections are insufficient, further extensions can be connected to the base unit. These will
facilitate supply to up to 24 subscribers.
The integrated Sat channel router (SCR) technology allows broadcasting without any
programming restrictions. The devices are HDTV-compatible.
It is important to ensure that the receiver is set up properly to control the TechniRouter.
All TechniSat devices with the logo “TechniRouter ready”
and receivers from other suppliers, which support the
European standard 50494
can be used. Analog receivers cannot be used.
Only use connection accessories with integrated decoupling diode.
Existing cable structures in residential buildings can be set up to receive digital satellite signals
from two satellite positions without a new cable routing.
The advantage for new installations is that many subscribers receive signals from a single
connection which makes cable installing and laying work obsolete and saves many feet of coaxial
cable.
The expansion of existing multiswitch systems is also easily possible, for instance, because of
the purchase of hard disk receivers with twin tuners.
Each user has a specific channel on the output IF band of the TechniRouter assigned (user band),
via which he, using his receiver to control, can “select” and receive his desired program.
Once the receiver has completed a successful initial configuration especially via
automatic setup, it is strongly recommended not to repeat the configuration process
due to the chance of interference with other subscribers (cf. section 4.6.2).
Please be advised that each channel can only be allocated once. Especially if 8 users are
connected to one cable that requires a certain amount of discipline, the channels initially installed
should not be impermissibly altered.
The receiver supplies the TechniRouter and the LNB with power.
If one of the connected receiver is unable to supply (symptoms see point 8), the power supply
needs to be plugged into the TechniRouter base unit. Since every receiver uses its own electronic
within the TechniRouter, it is recommended to switch this part of the device to stand-by mode, if
not in use. Following this procedure, the receiver can be switched off via its mechanical power
switch or by flipping the switch on the multiple socket outlet.
Once the last satellite receiver was switched off in the above mentioned manner, the
TechniRouter is not consuming power anymore. If only one base unit is in use, the LNBs will be
automatically turned off.
The system operates in a particular energy-efficient manner.
Should there be a need for further subscriber connections, additional distributor lines can be
made available with the help of a multiswitch accessory (see point 5).
The TechniRouter from this family are return-path-compatible.
