Installation
Rack Mounting
MultiTuner is a standard 1U 19" rack-mount device. Secure it using the provided rack ears and ensure adequate airflow — do not obstruct the side vents. The device draws minimal power and does not require forced cooling beyond normal rack ventilation.
Connections
Make connections in the following order:
- Antenna — connect the feeder antenna cable to the RF input on the rear panel
- Network — connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port (to a switch, or directly to a server — see Network Connection)
- Power — connect the C14 power cord to a 100–220 V AC outlet
Powering On
Press the power button on the front panel. The status LED will briefly flash during boot and then turn steady green when the system is ready. Boot time is typically 30–60 seconds.
Tip
If the LED does not turn green within 2 minutes, check that the power cord is fully seated and that the outlet is live.
First Login
Once the device has booted, open a browser on any computer connected to the same network and navigate to the MultiTuner address.
Default credentials:

Change the default password
Change the default admin password immediately after first login, especially in any network-accessible deployment.
By default, MultiTuner uses the static IP address 192.168.112.1. If your network uses a different subnet, or if you are connecting directly to a server rather than through a switch, see Network Connection before attempting to access the web interface.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| LED does not light | No power | Check the power cord and outlet |
| LED stays red | Boot failure | Power-cycle the device; if it persists, contact support |
| Web interface unreachable | Network mismatch | Verify IP settings — see Network Connection |
| Channels show no signal | Antenna not connected | Check the antenna cable and connector |
