DEVICE’S INSTALLATION FLOW CHART ILLUSTRATED AS FOLLOWS
ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENT
GROUNDING REQUIREMENT
- All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of devices. Also, they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and interference rejection. Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
- Coaxial cables outer conductor and isolation layer should keep proper electric conducting with the metal housing of device.
- Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
- Users should make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be antirust.
- It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
- The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less than 25mm2.
FRAME GROUNDING
All the machine frames should be connected with protective copper strip. The
grounding wire should be as short as possible and avoid circling. The area of
the conduction between grounding wire and grounding strip should be no less
than 25mm2.
DEVICE GROUNDING
Connecting the device’s grounding rod to frame’s grounding pole with copper
wire.
WIRE’S CONNECTION
The grounding wire conductive screw is located at the right end of rear panel,
and the power switch, fuse, power supply socket is just beside, whose order
goes like this, power switch is on the left, power supply socket is on the
right and the fuse is just between them.
Connecting Power Cord
User can insert one end into power supply socket, while insert the other end
to AC power.
- Connecting Grounding Wire
When the device solely connects to protective ground, it should adopt independent way, say, share the same ground with other devices. When the device adopts united way, the grounding resistance should be smaller than 1Ω.
Caution:
Before connecting power cord to TL-9994C 16 in 1 Mux-Scrambling QAM Modulator,
user should set the power switch to “OFF”.
SIGNAL CABLE CONNECTION
The signal connections include the connection of input signal cable and the
connection of output signal cable. The details are as follows: TL-9994C 16 in

WEB BASED NMS MANAGEMENT
Users cannot use front buttons to set configuration, can only control and set the configuration in computer by connecting the device to web NMS Port. Users should ensure that the computer’s IP address is different from the TL-9994C’s IP address; otherwise, it would cause IP conflict.
LOGIN
The default IP address of this device is 192.168.0.136. Connect the PC
(Personal Computer) and the device with net cable, and use ping command to
confirm they are on the same network segment. I.G. the PC IP address is
192.168.99.252, we then change the device IP to 192.168.99.xxx (xxx can be 1
to 254 except 252 to avoid IP conflict). Use web browser to connect the device
with PC by inputting the Modulator’s IP address in the browser’s address bar
and press Enter. It will display the Login interface. Input the Username and
Password (Both are defaulted as “admin”.) and then click “LOGIN” to start the
device setting.
OPERATION
When we confirm the login, it displays the WELCOME interface as Figure-2 where
users can have an overview of the device’s system information and working
status.
