Frequently Asked Questions - EXI 01 KATHREIN

How do I reset the Kathrein EXI 01 to factory settings?

Go to the menu, select 'Settings' > 'Factory Reset' and confirm with the OK button. The device will restart.

Why is there no signal on my EXI 01?

Check the LNB connection, ensure the dish is aligned correctly, and verify that the correct satellite is selected in the installation menu. Also check the cable for damage.

Can I connect the EXI 01 to a wireless network?

No, the EXI 01 does not have built-in Wi-Fi. It requires a wired Ethernet connection for internet features if supported.

How do I update the firmware on the EXI 01?

Download the latest firmware from the Kathrein website, save it to a USB flash drive, insert it into the USB port, and select 'Update' in the system menu.

My remote control is not working. What should I do?

Check the batteries, replace them if necessary. Point the remote directly at the receiver. If it still doesn't work, try resetting the receiver or contact support.

How do I set up parental controls on the EXI 01?

Enter the menu, go to 'Parental Lock', enter the default PIN (usually 0000), and set restrictions for channels or programs.

Can I record programs with the EXI 01?

No, this model does not have a built-in DVR function. It only receives and decodes satellite signals.

What should I do if the device overheats?

Ensure the ventilation slots are not blocked. Place the receiver in a well-ventilated area. If overheating persists, turn it off and let it cool down.

How do I connect the EXI 01 to my TV?

Use an HDMI cable for best quality, or a SCART cable if your TV does not have HDMI. Connect the cable from the receiver's output to the TV's input.

Why are some channels missing or scrambled?

The channel may be encrypted and require a subscription or CAM module. Alternatively, perform a fresh channel scan. Ensure your dish is aimed correctly.

USER MANUAL EXI 01 KATHREIN

* Quality of Service

■ Modem for the Kathrein IP over coax system "K-LAN" (based on the IEEE 1901 standard)
■ Creation of a home network over the existing terrestrial coax distribution for the satellite system. This reduces the cost of installation - no new network cables need be laid
■ Ideal for the network connection of receivers, TV sets and Blu-ray players. In addition, a PC and other network-capable devices can easily be connected via a router (such as Fritzbox)
- > 500-Mbit data throughput (gross) is sufficient for several HD streams plus data transmission between PCs. QoS *) allows prioritisation of the respective services
■ Integral highly selective diplexer - no interference between FM, TV and satellite signals. No additional splitters are necessary
■ High screening factor prevents interference
■ 1 input (IP & Sat/TV/FM); 1 output (1 x Sat/TV/FM); 1 x Ethernet RJ45. DC is looped through
■ 128-bit AES encryption. Secure private network connection at the push or a button - no software required
In conjunction with the optimised EXI 3508 distribution system, distances of >700 m are achievable in the IP frequency range
- The modem can be remotely fed by the connected satellite receiver, using the port on the EXI 30 outlet. In all other cases the power is supplied by the plug-in power supply unit. The EXI 30 outlet has been specially developed for the K-LAN ^**
■ Eco Power Mode: The modem automatically switches to stand-by until it is "woken up" again by the network. Consumption: 0.5 Watt in stand-by/max. 4.2 Watt in operation

*1 Quality of Service
**1 Alternatively the ESD 84 and ESD 32 outlets can also be used

Scope of supply

EXI 01
■ Energy-efficient plug-in power supply unit for power supply, e.g. for operation at a PC
■ Screened network cable 1.5 m Cat 6A

Accessories

■ High-pass fi Iter EXI 90 BN (20510062): If the EXI 01 is operated via a multi-switch not from the EXI range the high-pass fi iter must be screwed on to the terrestrial input of the multi-switch. This isolates the downstream multi-switch and prevents reception and emission in the IP frequency range by and from the terrestrial antenna
■ Software EXI 700: Displays the visible modems on a network (download from: www.kathrein.de)
■ EXI 30 (article no.: 21110024): Outlet remotely fed from the SAT port, with optimum selection for data and RF signals

General instructions

If a switchable LNB such as UAS 585 is used, or a multi-switch with a power consumption of more than 50 mA per connection, the modem must be powered using the power supply unit included
■ If the modem is driven from a PC or the like, an EMK 03 terminating resistor should be screwed to the unused output

Installation and safety instructions

• Failure to comply with these instructions will result in voiding of warranty cover.
• The equipment may only be installed in dry areas indoors. Do not install on or against highly combustible materials. For wall mounting, refer to the point "EXI 01 dimensions for wall mounting" in these user instructions.
  ■ Make sure that the ventilation slots on the device are not covered, to ensure adequate thermal dissipation (min distance 5 cm)
• Do not install the unit close to a heater or expose it to direct sunlight. Do not operate it in damp locations. Only use the unit in a moderate climate, not in tropical conditions! Do not place naked flames such as candles on top of the unit! There is a risk of fi re!
• Fixings: screws, max ∅: 4 mm (not included)
  ■ Connectors for the coaxial cable: RF plugs 75 Ω (series F) to EN 61169-24.

■ If the cable inner conductor diameter is greater than 1.2 mm, or in case of burr, the device sockets may be damaged beyond repair.

Set-up

The Kathrein EXI 01 modem and the integral modem within the EXI 3508 multi-switch are protected with a factory-set network security key. For simple commissioning of the two modems, connect a coaxial cable to the socket ▲. If the modem is not remotely fed by the receiver, the plug-in power supply unit must be plugged in to the "DC" socket. The network devices to be connected, such as the router and receiver, are connected using the Ethernet cable included. This is plugged in to the RJ 45 socket provided. The "Power" and "Coax/Link" LEDs light up. The data connection is established. Up to 64 modems can be linked together in this way.

Other devices such as TV sets, receivers or radios can be connected to the socket ▼The RF signal is looped through. No external splitters are necessary. High-selectivity filters ensure that the data signal does not generate interference at these devices. See also "Info on the Coaxial Distribution System".

Additional security:

In a coaxial distribution system, all the connected Kathrein modems can "see" each other. If you wish to build a private network with the modems that belong to you, proceed as follows:

1. Press the "Pairing" button and keep it depressed for approx. 12 seconds. Both LEDs go out briefly. The network key is deleted. The "Power" LED lights up, but the "Coax/Link" LED remains off. Perform this step for all the devices that you wish to add to your private network!
2. Now briefy press the "Pairing" button on one of your modems (for approx. 1 second). The "Power" LED starts to flash. Now at the next modem briefy press the "Pairing" button. The two modems exchange a secret network key and connect to each other. You must press the second button within approx. three minutes after the first. Once the procedure is complete, both LEDs light up continuously again. Each further modem can be added to the private network in the same way. The pairing can be started at any modem on your private network.

Resetting:

Pressing the "Reset" button resets the modem to its factory settings. Since this also restores the original factory setting for the network key, the modem is now once again generally visible and no longer belongs to your private network.

Stand-by:

After a few minutes with no data traffic, the EXI 01 switches itself automatically into stand-by mode. The "Power" LED fl ashes slowly (red - green).

Info on the coaxial distribution system

Ideally the EXI 01 modem is operated in combination with the EXI 3508 multi-switch with integral modem. The terrestrial distribution system of this multi-switch is specially matched to this application and thus offers especially long range capabilities for the installation (>700 m for the data range). An integral high-pass filter for the terrestrial input prevents undesirable propagation of your network data from a connected antenna.

Operation with a conventional multi-switch also poses no problems. In this case the EXI 90 external high-pass filter must be screwed on to the terrestrial input, in order adapt the terrestrial distribution system.

To achieve optimum performance, make sure that all components of the overall distribution system (including the outlets used) support the frequency range of 5 to 68 MHz.
