power are independent to each other. Device power requires AC
Power
power 100V-240V 50/60Hz 2A. Please carefully check before
running.

2.2.3 Grounding Requirement

 All function modules’ good grounding designs are the basis of reliability and stability of
devices. Also, they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and
interference rejection. Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
 Coaxial cable’s outer conductor and isolation layer should keep proper electric
conducting with the metal housing of device.
 Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
 Users should make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be
5
 NDS3508I IPTV Gateway Server User’s Manual

antirust.
 It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
 The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less
than 25mm2.

2.2.4 Frame Grounding

All the machine frames should be connected with protective copper strip. The grounding wire
should be as short as possible and avoid circling. The area of the conduction between
grounding wire and grounding strip should be no less than 25mm2.

2.2.5 Device Grounding

Connecting the device’s grounding rod to frame’s grounding pole with copper wire.

2.3 Wire’s Connection

The grounding wire conductive screw is located at the right end of rear panel, and the power
switch, fuse, power supply socket is just beside ,whose order goes like this, power switch is
on the left ,power supply socket is on the right and the fuse is just between them.
 Connecting Power Cord
User can insert one end into power supply socket, while insert the other end to AC power.
 Connecting Grounding Wire
When the device solely connects to protective ground, it should adopt independent way,
say, share the same ground with other devices. When the device adopts united way, the
grounding resistance should be smaller than 1Ω.

Caution:

Before connecting power cord to NDS3508I IPTV Gateway Server, user should set the
power switch to “OFF”.

Chapter 3 WEB NMS operation

NDS3508I is combined with 2 Module: IPTV Gateway and IPTV system, and users need to
control and manage them separately through web NMS management.
User should ensure that the computer’s IP address is different from the 2 Module’s IP address;
otherwise, it would cause IP conflict.

3.1IPTV Gateway

3.1.1 Login

The default IP of this device is 192.168.200.136:3333 (3333 is IP port number which can’t be
changed)
Connect the PC (Personal Computer) and the device with net cable, and use ping command to
confirm they are on the same network segment.
I.G. the PC IP address is 192.168.200.136, we then change the device IP to 192.168.200.xxx
(xxx can be 0 to 255 except 136 to avoid IP conflict).
Use web browser to connect the device with PC by inputting this device’s IP address in the
browser’s address bar and press Enter.
It displays the Login interface as Figure-1. Input the Username and Password (Both the
default Username and Password are “admin”.) and then click “Login” to start the device
setting.
