This document tries to explain some special +configurations. For simplicity, the input are numbered as 0-3 here, but +the physical F-type connector on the box have numering 1-4. + + +Standard DiseqC timing and setup +-------------------------------- + +### Example: '-q "*:5-15-0-5-5-0" -d "*:*1-0"' + + +Power +----- + +Since build 11, you may control the power on box inputs. If you +use '-P 1' option, the inputs will be powered down when no active +client is using the minisatip. This behaviour is similar to minisatip +implementation in build 10 or bellow. + +If you keep the standard behaviour '-P 0', the inputs are powered down +when they are not used by any client. There is a delay of 30 seconds +before the power is turned off. Depending on the coaxial wiring and +used reception components, the independent input power down might +affect the signal quality during the power down phase. + + +Linked inputs +------------- + +### Example1: '-L 0:2,1:3' +### Example2: '-L 0:1,0:2,0:3' + +The first number means master tuner and the second slave tuner. +The tuners in same group (master can have multiple slaves) can +use only same combination of source (src=X), band (low/high) +and polarization at a time. + + +Quattro LNB +------------ + +The quattro LNB can be configured using -Q option for minisatip. All +diseqc (AA), voltage and tone setup is executed, so you may eventually +connect a multiswitch or quad LNB (it makes sense only with +the -Z option). + +The -Z option can eventually reduce the used input to 2 filtering the +loband (inputs 2,3) or hiband (inputs 0,1) only. For example, 23.5E +satellite positions have useable transponders only in hiband. So, it is +enough to connect coaxial cable only to input 0 and 1 and use other +two inputs for other LNBs (standard way). Note that SAT>IP source number 1 +is always handled for the inputs 0 and 1 (to use full 4 tuners for the +loband/hiband inputs). + +### Example: '-Q -Z 1' + + box input 0 ---- multiswitch with diseqc AA = 23.5E + box input 1 ---- multiswitch with diseqc AA = 23.5E + box input 2 ----+---- diseqc AA = 28.2E (SAT>IP src=2) + +---- diseqc AB = 19.2E (SAT>IP src=3) + +---- diseqc BA = 16E (SAT>IP src=4) + \---- diseqc BB = 13E (SATIP src=2) + \---- diseqc AB = 9E (SAT>IP src=3) + +As you can see, all tuners have src=1 (23.5E), tuner 2 has four +additional diseqc sources and tuner 3 two additional sources. + +Note: This requires build 11 or above of the satip-axe firmware. + + +Unicable/Unicable II +-------------------- + + +### Example 1: '-u 0:1-1420,1:0-1210,2:2-1680,3:3-2040' + +0:1-1420 + + - 0 = minisatip/box input (0-3) + - 1 = unicable slot number (refer to your unicable equipment) + - 1420 = transpoder frequency for the tuner + +Note: 0:1-*1420 means that only 13V (voltage) will be used. + +Note2: If you don't specify the adapter as unicable, it can be used to +control the standard LNBs/diseqc equipment. + + +### Multiple unicable groups + +You may connect multiple unicable LNBs through multiple coaxial +wires to the box. In this case, it is necessary to tell which tuners +will use which physical input. In this case '-X T1,T2,T3,T4' option +should be used wheren you can define the parent inputs for all four +tuners like: '-X 0,0,2,2' where two unicable groups are connected +to minisatip input 0 and 2. + + box input 0 ---+--- wire 1 (unicable group 1) + box input 1 ---/ + + box input 2 ---+--- wire 2 (unicable group 2) + box input 3 ---/ + +Note: This requires build 11 or above of the satip-axe firmware.
