EXI 3591 - Switch KATHREIN - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL EXI 3591 KATHREIN

Cascadable single-cable multi-switch with an integrated modem for the distribution of Sat-IF signals (four Sat polarisations) and terrestrial signals to up to nine receivers

The selected transponder is transmit- ted by the multi-switch on a fi xed fre- quency (user band), controlled by the receiver with a DiSEqC™ command set conforming to EN 50494

The multi-switch supports the extended single-cable set of commands SCD2 conforming to prTS 50607 (see also “Notes” section)

Terrestrial signals can be received even when the satellite receiver is switched off

Each receiver is assigned a fi xed subscriber frequency (a twin receiver requires two subscriber frequencies)

Creation of a home network using the existing terrestrial distribution. The IP data is available on every subscriber output. Installation complexity is redu- ced as no additional network cabling is required.

PIN Code: Protects the user frequency from being accessed by another user. This allows an installation in an apart- ment building Features single-cable multi-switch geeignet für DVB-T

Integrated AGC (Automatic Gain Con- trol) ensures a constant output level in the Sat-IF range

Integrated, highly-selective frequency diplexer for IP data

Low power consumption due to highly effi cient, short-circuit proof switched- mode power supply unit in compliance with ERP guideline and energy-saving concept (the single-cable multi-switch is switched off whenever the connected receiver is switched off)

Kathrein-Power-Saving: LNB supply is switched off as soon as all receivers are inactive. This function can be de- activated if loop-through multi-switches without Kathrein Power Saving are used in the cascade

LNB remote feeding via the horizontal low input.Signaling Kathrein power saving over the trunk “vertical low.” All other inputs are voltage-free

For indoor installation 2 / 12 Features built-in modem

Modem for Kathrein IP over coax sys- tem “K-LAN” (based on the standard IEEE 1901)

Ideal for networking of receivers, TV sets and Blu-ray players. Other network-capable units such as PCs can also be easily connected using a router (e.g. FRITZ!Box)

> 500-Mbit data throughput (gross) allows several HD streams during si- multaneous data transmission between PCs. Due to QoS *

relevant services are prioritised

128 bit AES encryption: Secure, private network connection at the press of a button - no software required

Eco Power Mode: The modem switch- es automatically to “stand-by” and is “woken up” again through the network. Consumption: 1.0 watts in stand-by mode/4.2 watts in operational mode Accessories

Sockets of the ESR series are used despite limited frequency range for K-LAN. Protection of the system function in receiver malfunction: power of the connected receiver, if this is not the single-cable DiSEqC

instruction set according to EN 50494 is used (cutting off the power from the satellite terminal to input at +18 VDC to 400 ms)

End-user modem EXI 01 (Order no. 20510061): To reconvert IP data on subscriber outlets (e.g. to connect a satellite receiver with an Ethernet port)

High pass EXI 90 (BN 20,510,062): If additional multi-switch (not from the EXI series) cascade and the EXI 01 is operated at one of these multi-switch, the high-pass must be screwed onto the terrestrial input of the multiswitch. This subsequent multiswitches are isolated and prevented the incoming and outgoing radiation of the frequency range of IP and terrestrial antenna in the cascade. EXI 3591 in the high-pass is already integrated

If a receiver is switched on in the cascade, from the end of the LNB multiswitch is powered. Multi-switches without Kathrein Power Saving do not give signalling to the end multi-switch. The stand-by switch must be set to “OFF” for permanent powering of the LNB. Type Product type Kathrein Power Saving Switch position VWS 2551 Amplifi ers Can be used without restriction Note: If the terrestrial frequency range is used, the VWS (amplifi er) must be locally powered.

EBX 2520 Two-way splitter Can be used without restriction if each trunk has been terminated with a Kathrein Power Saving- capable end multi-switch.

EAX 2512 Two-way tap Not compatible with Kathrein Power Saving OFF VWS 2500 Amplifi ers Not compatible with Kathrein Power Saving OFF PIN code protection The multi-switch is protected by a PIN code in order to prevent the set userband from being used/disturbed by another subscriber. This should be specifi ed in the receiver settings. A fi xed PIN has been assigned to each userband. UB 1 UB 2 UB 3 UB 4 UB 5 UB 6 UB 7 UB 8 UB 9 Frequency (MHz)

Pin 151 052 133 124 205 196 187 178 0995 / 12 Only use splitters without diodes (EBC 110 or EBC 114). The required diode protection is provided by outlets from the ESU series. By defi nition the system is designed so that single-cable units are supplied with 14 V DC. The power supply is briefl y switched to 18 V DC if control signals si- milar to DiSEqC™have to be transmitted. Continuous application of 18 V would block the system. Sockets of the ESR series are specifi ed in the data sheet from 47 MHz. The very small directional losses in the range 5-47 MHz used in the K-speed mo- dems in this case, is an advantage. They can therefore be used without any problems. It is recommended to assign the outlets with the shorter cable lengths the higher frequencies. The multi-switch (with integrated modem) EXI 3591 is ideally used in combinati- on with the single modem EXI 01.The subscriber of this multi-switch is specially adapted to terrestrial and offers the optimum conditions for the data rates of the modem to EXI 3591 but also between multiple EXI 01s. An integrated high pass fi lter for terrestrial input prevents unwanted distribution of your network data on a connected antenna. To achieve optimum performance, make sure when your entire distribution that supports the frequency range 5-68 MHz. The receivers that are connected must be designed for single-cable operation conforming to EN 50494. In order to use userband 9, the receiver must also support the single-cable standard SCD2 as per prTS 50607. Notes Startup of the modem The integrated modem in the multi-switch EXI 3591 and the Kathrein modem EXI 01 are secured from the factory with a network key. For easy operation of these two modems must be connected to a coaxial cable to the socket . Connected to the network devices such as routers and receivers are connected using the supplied Ethernet cable to the pro- vided RJ-45 jack. The LEDs „Power“ and „Coax / Link“ light. The data link is established. Up to 64 modems may be connected to each other. Additional security: “Ensure” that in a coaxial distribution system all the modems connected are Kathrein. If you want to build a private network with your own modems, proceed as follows:6 / 12

1. Press about 12 seconds on the button „pairing“. Both LEDs go out momentarily. The

network key is deleted. The LED “power” lights “Coax/link” is missing. Perform this step on all your devices that you want to add to a private network through!

2. Now click on one of your modems short (approximately 1 second) on the button “pairing”.

The “Power” LED starts blinking. Now press the next button shortly modem “pairing”. Both modems negotiate a secret network key and connect to each other. You have about three minutes for pressing the second button. When the process is completed, both LEDs light up constantly again. Each additional modem can be added in the same manner to the private network. The pairing can be started from any modem in your private network. Reset: With the “Reset” button, the modem to factory setting reset. Since in this case also the origi- nal factory network key is set, the modem is generally visible again and no longer belongs to the private network.
