Chapter 2 Installation Guide

This section is to explain the cautions the users must know in some case that possibly injure may bring to users when it’s used or installed. For this reason, please read all details here and make in mind before installing or using the product.

2.1 General Precautions

 Must be operated and maintained free of dust or dirty.

 The cover should be securely fastened, do not open the cover of the products when the power is on.

 After use, securely stow away all loose cables, external antenna, and others.

2.2 Power precautions

 When you connect the power source, make sure if it may cause overload.

 Avoid operating on a wet floor in the open. Make sure the extension cable is in good condition

 Make sure the power switch is off before you start to install the device

Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting power are independent to each other. Device power requires

AC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz or AC 220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please carefully check before running.

2.5 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.

 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 25 mm 2 .

Chapter 4 WEB NMS Operation

User not only can use front buttons to set configuration, but also can control and set the configuration in computer by connecting the device to web NMS Port. User should ensure that the computer’s IP address is different from the EPS-HDM1004ECO IP address; otherwise, it would cause IP conflict.

4.1 login

The default IP address of this device is 192.168.0.136. (We can modify the IP through the front panel.)

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 0 to 255 except 252 to avoid IP conflict).

Use web browser to connect the device with PC by inputting the Encoder Modulator’s IP address in the browser’s address bar and press Enter.
