Multiroom

This function allows independent multiroom viewing different programs offered by digital pay-

TV in two rooms simultaneously within a single subscription. This function is used to operate a

local area network (LAN). Now, each house member can enjoy all their favourite channels

without any conflicts. On each TV receiver, different channels can be watched at the same

time.

Note: The multiroom-service can only be used

within a single household. This solution supports only one slave.

Cables used for connections

Proper connection draft

Step 1.

Before you start

Ensure that DHCP is runing and the MAC adress is different on each receiver.

Turn on both recivers and wait until each will get the righr IP adress.

Step 2.

Configuration of the main receiver (master)

Switch the main receiver with inserted pay-TV card to mode: Master. To do this, go to

menu>tools>conditional access>multiroom select Master and press EXIT to save.

Wait a configuration may take a few minutes.

Go to menu>system settings>other and turn on the clock in standby mode. This

change is necessary to make multiroom service available also when main receiver is

switched to standby mode.

Step 3.

Configuration of the slave receiver

Switch slave receiver mode to: Slave. To do this, go to menu>tools>conditional

access>multiroom select Slave and press EXIT to save. Wait a configuration may take

a few minutes.

Exit the menu and switch the channel to start multiroom feature.

Final remarks:

In case of problems with work, check the settings of the main receiver (Master). If the receiver

has an IP address 000.000.000.244 or similar it means that the network configuration is

incorrect. Probably before the configuration was not assigned a valid IP address from DHCP. To

solve the problem, restore the factory settings and repeat step 2.

Due to the huge variety of hardware and configurations available for household network

Ferguson can not and will not be liable for malfunction of multiroom functionality. As the added

value, that is not representing the basic purpose of satellite receiver, multiroom function can

not give rise to the receiver complaint.
