In the left upper corner of every conguration window you will see a main menu icon [1]. Using it, you can switch between the different conguration
menu. The programmer can store four different congurations of the multiswitch. In the conguration drop down [2] you can select corresponding
conguration. After this selection a conguration parameters table [5] will show parameters of selected conguration. You can enter a name for
conguration in the edit box [3]. The group of buttons [4] is used to perform various operations with the contents of conguration parameters table [5].
Description of the buttons.
“Save” - save changes made in the conguration parameters table [5] to the memory of programmer.
“Set” - send parameters to the multiswich. Note: when parameters are changed in the table [5], always press the “Save” button before sending
parameters to the multiswitch.
“Get” - receive parameters from the multiswich. After receiving, parameters will be shown in the conguration parameters table [5]. You can save
received parameters by pressing the “Save” button.
“Export” - export parameters to le. A dialog with offer to “open le” and “save le to disk” will be opened. Choose the “save le to disk” option.
“Import” - import parameters from le. Exported parameters can be imported back to the programmer. Press onto “Click to select le” button (see
Figure 3 “Import parameters”) to select exported le.
Press “Upload” button to send the le to the programmer. After importing, parameters will be
shown in the conguration parameters table [5].
“Multisw. upgrade”- rmware upgrade of the connected multiswitch. Press the “Click to
select le” button and select rmware binary le. If valid le was selected, a version number
of new rmware will be displayed. Otherwise an error message will appear. Press the
“Upload” button to upload new rmware to the device. Upload progress bar will appear and
may take tenths of minutes to upload. Please be patient. Avoid power supply of the
multiswich interruption when a programming process is going on.

6.2 Multiswitch conguration parameters table
This table is shown in Figure 2 [5].
The multiswitch have 32 user bands. One row of table contains parameters of one user band.
Description of conguration parameters table columns:
“No” - number of user band.
“Type” - select type of the user band. Description of user band types:
“OFF” - user band not used.
“STATIC” - user band used in static mode. Input and output parameters of user band are xed.
“DYNAMIC” - user band used in dynamic mode. Input parameters of user band are dynamically controlled by receiver. Output parameters
are xed.
“TEST TONE” - a test tone generated with specied output frequency on this user band.
The enabled columns of table depends on the selected type of user band.
When “OFF” type is selected, all columns are disabled.
6.2.1 Static type
Enabled columns in the “STATIC” type:
“SAT” - select satellite position from connected wideband LNB input (2 satellites) or chained outputs of multiple multiswitches;
“Input frequency, MHz” - enter input transponder frequency in range of 10700 - 12750 MHz;
“Polarization” - select the vertical or horizontal polarization of input transponder;
“Output frequency, MHz” - enter output frequency of user band in range of 950 - 2150 MHz;
“Bandwidth, MHz” - enter bandwidth of user band in range of 24 - 60 MHz. The bandwidth depends on modulation standard and symbol rate of
input transponder and can be calculated using online calculator:
http://www.satbroadcasts.com/DVB-S_Bitrate_and_Bandwidth_Calculator.html;
“Level, dB” - enter relative output power of the user band in range of 0 - 8 dB;
“Output” - select multiswich output number of the user band;
“IF frequency, MHz” - input transponder frequency recalculated to SAT IF frequency. Must be in range 950 -2150 MHz. Recalculation will be made
after pressing the “Save” button;
“Status” - status of the entered parameters check. After pressing the “Save” button various checks of entered parameters are performed. In case
of check success - status cell marked by symbol . In case of failure - corresponding error message will be shown and status cell marked by
symbol .
6.2.2 Dynamic type
Enabled columns in the “DYNAMIC” type: “Output frequency, MHz”, “Bandwidth, MHz”, “Level, dB” - descriptions of these columns are the
same as in “STATIC” type. See section 5.2.1.
Additional enabled columns the “DYNAMIC” type.
“PIN” - enter the PIN code intended for optional pairing of user band and receiver which is necessary for more reliable operation in multi-dwelling
installations. When a user band is unprotected, any receiver of the installation can access to it with or without a PIN code. But once a user band
has been accessed with is granted PIN code, the multiswich only gives access to this user band to commands carrying the proper PIN code. The
PIN code is used only in the EN50607 standard.
“EN50494 UB1” - select the user band slot number for EN50494 standard on output 1 of multiswich. When slot number is set to “OFF” -
corresponding user band will be not accessible on output 1 of multiswitch. This number can be in range 1 - 8.
“EN50494 UB2” - select the user band slot number for EN50494 standard on output 2 of multiswich. When slot number is set to “OFF” -
corresponding user band will be not accessible on output 2 of multiswitch. This number can be in range 1 - 8.
“EN50607 UB1” - select the user band slot number for EN50607 standard on output 1 of multiswich. When slot number is set to “OFF” -
corresponding user band will be not accessible on output 1 of multiswitch. This number can be in range 1 - 32.
“EN50607 UB2” - select the user band slot number for EN50607 standard on output 2 of multiswich. When slot number is set to “OFF” -
corresponding user band will be not accessible on output 2 of multiswitch. This number can be in range 1 - 32.
