Welcome to IP Homenet.com

MAIN INSTALLATION

CONSOLE MOUNTING

The external dimensions of the console are 800mm High - 330mm Wide - 170mm Deep. The console should be mounted in a position where it can be fixed to either a solid brick or timber wall, i.e. utility cupboard or a secure area. We recommend that you allow surrounding space for present and future technology devices and install a minimum of 8 x 13amp anti surge power points including a 6mm earth to the console unit.

SERVICE CABLES

We recommend that 5 x CT100\RG6 coax cables or equivalent should be installed from the loft to the console enabling connection of the terrestrial aerial, satellite dish and emerging future technology. The terrestrial aerial will need to be connected to the console AV hub system. The satellite, cable, on-digital etc. can also be connected as further input devices.
We also recommend that the master telephone outlet, ISDN, ADSL etc. also be mounted adjacent to the console enabling full distribution around the house using patch cables.

CABLE INSTALLATION

We recommend that the advice of a qualified electrician is sought regarding the installation of the IP Homenet™ system. The cable installer should adhere to the latest regulations and codes of practice.

1. Care must be taken when pulling the cable not applying excessive tension as this can impair transmission capability.

2. One person should remain by the cable reel in order to prevent knotting, twisting or jamming while the cable is being pulled.

3. When the cable is bent at right angles allow adequate room to accommodate the manufacturer's minimum bend radius.

4. Please refer to the latest Electrical regulations but as a guide all UTP cat 5e cables should not be installed closer than 200mm to power without metallic segregation. More Information PDF

5. When securing cables singly or as a group ensure the cables are not crushed or constricted by the fixings.

6. A suitable type of back box must be used to suit the position of the outlet.

Connecting The PSTN Telephone Rack

Once the Console has been installed it is ready for connection to the PSTN telephone incoming line.

The single line to 4 port rack is connected to the BT or supplier socket by plugging in as shown in the picture on the left.

Please Note> if you have a 2 x 4 port rack, plug the 2 leads into different sockets. This gives you 4 ports on each line connected.

You now have one telephone line split onto 4 ports ready for connection to any socket in your home.

TRY IT! - Plug in the Blue end of the patch cord into port L1-1 or 2 or 3 or 4
(L1 = Line one) & (1 = port 1)

Now plug the Black end into any rack socket connected to one of your outlets in your home.

For example use number 3 socket perhaps connected to an outlet in the lounge.

Time for a walk into the lounge to complete the connection of your telephone.

You should now be next to your outlet socket number 3 in the lounge.

Using the White adapter that came with the system plug it into the outlet socket 3.

Now plug in your phone to the White adapter and that's it!

You can connect a further 3 telephones by purchasing additional patch cords and adapters as required.

Connecting The HUB Media Rack

	The Aerial Amplifier should be suitably mounted and the coax cable from YOUR UHF aerial plugged into the ANT socket. The TV1 socket on the amplifier should be connected using the 1Mtr coax lead to the UHF INPUT socket on the front centre of the hub. The cable can be threaded through the sides of the console for ascetic looks. Please Note> the TV2 socket can be used to connect a video to enabling recording of terrestrial TV as can the the UHF output on the front of the hub. Plug in the the short White coax cable to the zone 1 sockets on the front of the hub. Similar to the telephone rack, plug the red end of the patch cord into Zone 1 port on the hub. Plug the black end to any rack socket connected to one of your outlets in the home, for example number 2 in the lounge. Refer to the AV manual before connecting power or tuning the zone.
	Using the supplied Scart Plug with cables as shown in the picture to the left, plug the Scart end into the back of your television. The small Infra Red control receiver can be routed to a suitable position by your TV enabling remote control the hub system. Using the black cable, plug one end into the back of the scart socket and the other end into your outlet socket number 2.
	Outlet 2 socket is connected to the back of the Scart socket as described above. This and all socket outlets are connected by cat5 cable wired back to the corresponding numbered sockets in the console cabinet.
	The Infra Red Receiver, Passes the signals from your remote controls back to the hub. This enables full control of the hub, Sky, cable, Video, Dvd, Camera's and other input devices connected to your system.
