EN , EN55022, EN50412, EN Description The GLC 100 is an "Ethernet over Coax" (EoC) modem which allows the feeding in of IP data signals (e.g. from the Internet, IPTV etc.) into an existing coaxial distribution system (in star or tree distribution). Tr aditional L AN net work All components of a traditional LAN network are connected via network cables in star distribution. Starting from a switch, cables must be routed to all components. Router Smart-TV EoC net work At an EoC network an existing coaxial antenna network is used for transmitting the signals. Here both star, and tree distribution is possible. The data is fed in and out via EoC modems. Router Ethernet over Coax Smart-TV GLC 100

8 The EoC modems communicate in peer to peer mode (P2P). In the factory default settings, each EoC modem can communicate with each other modem in the network. The advantage of "Ethernet over Coax" is that it is not necessary to lay new network cables and that there is no expenditure for additional installation. The data is transmitted through the low-attenuation return channel, frequency range of 2 68 MHz. Depending on the quality of the coaxial cable, transmission distances of up to 700 m can be realized. The feeding in is done via the terrestrial input of the SAT multiswitch capable for return-channel signals, via the terrestrial input of the antenna distributor structure or via an antenna socket capable for return-channel signals (OR 02, OR 09, OR 11, OR 15, OR 20, ORS 13 DC) in the distribution network. An access to the Internet or other transmitted IP data are then available on each return channel capable antenna sockets. Two networkable devices can be connected to one EoC modem. The IP network can be extended to up to 64 EoC devices. Ex factory all devices connected to a EoC modem can communicate with each other. Data is exchanged, network games are transmitted or a centralized network printer can be accessed. For the monitoring of houses, rooms etc., an IP camera can be operated via an EoC modem. At multiple-user antenna networks, encrypted private networks can be configured (see page 20). If e.g. you would like to provide Internet access in hotel rooms, although a network connection to the Internet must be possible, but not between the different rooms. To achieve this, a so-called master / slave mode can be set. If you have any need for this, please contact your sales partner ( -> Sales partners) because the network must be configured specifically for this purpose. 3 Assembly The device is operated primarily as a stand mounted unit (4 rubber feet). 4 brackets for wall mounting are provided on the bottom. With 2 screws each different orientations are possible. A drill template can be found on page 30 of this manual GLC 100

10 5 Installation and commissioning 5.1 Define the approach Dependent on the local conditions, several approaches are possible. In order to avoid unnecessary movements, before installation you should define how you want to configure the EoC network. If the antenna system is also used by other participants, you can build up your own private EoC network. By securing your EoC network, you protect all information sent via the network against inadvertent access. This is particularly important in multi-family homes, office buildings, schools and other buildings. There are two possibilities to secure your EoC network. Take a few minutes to read first the parts "Configuration" from page 20 on and "Configuration software" from page 22 on. Prepar atory works for private net works via Securit y but tons If you would like to build up a private network with the help of the security buttons, it is easier if you first create the private network key for two devices via a short coax cable and then successively transfer it into the further devices. Then you only need to install the configured devices in the appropriate rooms. Configur ation soft ware If you want to build a private network using the Configuration software, you should first create a list of the MAC addresses and their corresponding passwords of the EoC modems, in order to assign a private network name to all modems centrally from one modem using the Configuration software (page 22). The MAC address and the corresponding password can be found on the sticker on the bottom of the device GLC 100

11 5.2 Install ation All components of the coaxial distributor structure must support the return channel frequency range of 2 68 MHz. In the simplest case, you establish a connection via two EoC modems (see description page 7). Connect up to two network devices (e.g. router, PC, smart TV etc.) to the LAN sockets 6/! of one EoC modem. Connect the "EoC" F socket 7 to the already existing antenna distribution network. Dependant on the local conditions there are several possibilities to feed the IP data into the existing antenna network structure. Via the passive terrestrial input of a SAT multiswitch resp. at the output of a head-end station or via the CTV socket of a return channel capable antenna socket in the distribution network. A TV which was connected to this socket must then be connected to the TV socket of the EoC modem 8. Accordingly connect further EoC modems to the antenna distribution network. > Broadband networks: The EoC transmission is done in the return channel frequency range of 2 68 MHz, which is also used for Internet services in broadband networks. For this reason, it must be ensured that the EoC signal does not cause disturbances in the cable network via the point of interconnection (POI) e.g. by using a commercially available high-pass filter at the output of the CATV amplifier. Observe the examples on the following pages. If the TV socket of an EoC modem is not used, it must be terminated with the attached termination resistor! GLC 100

12 5.3 Application ex a mples SAT IF distribution via multiswitch Feed in via return channel capable antenna socket The feed in of the IP signals e.g. is done via a return channel capable antenna socket. TV QRS13DC Receiver TV QRS13DC Receiver TV QRS13DC Receiver TV QRS13DC Receiver Router When feeding in IP data via the antenna socket, the terrestrial input of a SAT multiswitch, if not used for other purposes, must be connected to a terminating resistor of 75 Ω (e.g. FT 75) GLC 100

18 5.4 Commissioning As soon as all connections have been established, the EoC devices can be switched on by pressing the power switches 2 and the connected devices (PC, notebook etc.) can be booted up. Indicators Power-LED The Power LED 1 flashes for a short time and lights continuously as soon as the device is ready for operation. It flashes in standby mode (page 19). EoC-LED The EoC LED 3 light up green as soon as a connection to an other device is established. During data traffic the EoC LED flashes. If the EoC LED light red, the attenuation of the coaxial network is too high. In this case check the coaxial network resp. short the distance between the devices. > If no EoC connection can be established check whether a coaxial connection exists. check whether all components of the coaxial distributor structure support the return channel frequency range of 2 68 MHz. position the EoC modem closer to each other (shorter coaxial wire). After having activated the security function (page 20), make sure that all EoC modems use the same network key. If the problem occurs after modification of the network key (page 20), restore the factory setting on each device. Afterwards, you can generate the key again. LAN-LEDs The LEDs LAN 1/2 (4/5) light up if connections to connected devices are established. During data transfer the LEDs are flashing GLC 100

19 Standby mode After some minutes without data transfer, an EoC modem switches into standby mode. The Power LED flashes. > The standby mode is automatically terminated as soon as a connected device starts a data communication, or if the modem is switched off and on again. > During standby mode the reset button and the security button are out of order. Factory defaults Using the Reset button 9 the EoC modem can be reset to the factory default setting. Remove the cover from the button. Hold the reset button depressed for one second using a bent up paper clip, in order to reset the device to the factory defaults. > If you press the Reset button less than one second or for more than two seconds, the factory settings are not restored. > The reset button does not work in standby mode (page 19). Securit y but ton Using the Security button 0 you can delete the network key or generate a private network. Remove the cover from the button. The further procedure is described below (security function page 20). > The Security button does not work in standby mode (page 19) GLC 100

20 6 Configuration An EoC network consists of two or more (max. 64) EoC modems using the same network key. In an existing antenna system with several participants, all devices can connect to each other (factory default). 6.1 Securit y function If the antenna system is also used by other participants, you can build up your own private EoC network. By securing your EoC network, you protect all information sent via the network against inadvertent access. This is particularly important in multi-family homes, office buildings, schools and other buildings. There are two possibilities to secure your EoC network: Using the Security button 0, you can generate a random network key in order to built a private network with encryption. > Please refer to the procedure described below. > The key functions of a GLC 100 W modem (with WiFi function) are different to that of a GLC 100. For each type observe the corresponding assembly instruction. Define a network name for your EoC network with the help of the configuration software (page 22, download from Private EoC net work with encryption: Make sure that the devices are not in Standby mode! The power LED must light continuously. Using a bent up paper clip, delete the network key by pressing the security button 0 on the rear side of the EoC device for more than 10 seconds (until the power LED becomes off). Carry out this step for all devices that should be integrated in a private network. Connect the first t wo devices: Using a bent up paper clip, hold the Security button of your EoC device depressed for approx. one second. According to the "release" of the Security button the Power LED starts flashing. Within the next two minutes press the Security button on the next EoC modem for approx. one second. According to the "release" of the Security GLC 100

21 button the Power LED starts flashing. A new network key between the two EoC modems is generated and the devices establish a connection. > If you press the Security button less than one second or for more than two seconds, no new network key is generated. Check the LEDs on the EoC devices. The Power LEDs must flash during the connection establishment of the devices. Wait for approx. one minute while the EoC devices get connected with each other. As soon as the procedure is finished, the power LEDs are again permanently lit. If the Power LED is not flashing after having pressed the Security button, you have pressed the button for a too short or long time. Try it again and press the Security button for one second. If the EoC LEDs are not lit on both EoC devices, the EoC devices are not connected. In this case repeat the steps in this section. Integr ate further devices: Hold the Security button of any EoC device of the private network depressed for approx. one second. According to the "release" of the Security button the Power LED starts flashing. Within the next two minutes press the Security button on the next EoC modem for approx. one second (its network key must be deleted before). According to the "release" of the Security button the Power LED starts flashing. The network key of the first EoC modem is transferred to the device without network key, a connection is established. > If no EoC connection can be established Reset devices which can not establish a connection to factory defaults (page 19), delete the network key again and try again to integrate the device to your private network. Establish the connection using the configuration software which can be downloaded under The operation of the configuration software is described from page 22 on GLC 100

22 7 Configuration Software With the Software "GSS.lan configuration" EoC modems are indicated in a network, network names are assigned and private and secured networks are created (128 Bit/AES Encryption). The network name "HomePlugAV" represents a public network. The EoC modems are shipped with the "HomePlugAV" as the default network name. With the software "GSS.lan configuration" a firmware update of the EoC modem is possible. Thus, EOC devices can always be updated to the current status. In general, multiple networks can be set up in a coax distribution network. Through the network name or network key, the modems are assigned to a network. 7.1 Install ation Unzip the software package after downloading from > When installing "GSS.lan configuration" software WinPcap library V4.1.2 is installed. Already installed other versions of the WinPcap library must be uninstalled before. Start the "Setup.exe" file. Follow the instructions in the Setup Wizard. > If an older version of the software is found on your PC, first you should uninstall it GLC 100

23 7.2 Oper ation Start the "GSS.lan configuration" software. M ain menu The main menu displays all EoC modems, which are connected to the network and are "active" (which are not in standby mode). At the upper section "Local device on your computer", the modem, which is connected to your PC, is displayed. If no locally attached modem is detected, this will be indicated above the "Connect" button. > If no connection can be established to the locally connected EoC modem, the firewall of the PC should be checked (Network Threat). The software scans the local network at intervals and detects the modems which are "active". This "active" EoC modems are displayed in the lower section of the screen (section for external devices). Above the section for external devices is... on the left the total number of modems which are connected to the same network and on the right the AutoScan status. In menu "Info" the AutoScan function can be switched on and off (page 29) GLC 100

24 Using the "Scan" button, an instant search for external modems is performed. For all modems that are displayed in the lower section, the following information is available: Device name, password, quality, data rate and MAC address. If no external modem is detected, this field remains empty. Rena me a device In the "Device Name" column, the default device name of a modem is displayed. The device name can be changed, either by clicking the "Rename" button or by directly clicking on the name in the row. Enter the device password By default the Password column is blank. Here you can enter the device password using button "Enter Password". > The password is necessary for function "Set Local Device Only" in menu "Privacy" (page 26). The password is printed on the type label of the EoC modem. The password consists of numbers and letters in groups of 4. Select the appropriate modem at the lower section of the main menu. Click on button "Enter Password" to open the "Set Device Password" window. Enter the password and confirm with "OK". The password is now checked and confirmed in accordance. After that, the password will be displayed in the "Password" column of the main menu GLC 100

25 Q ualit y In the "Quality" column, a bar display informs about the link quality from the external modem to the local modem. The quality depends on the attenuation in the distribution network. Data r ate (M bps) In the "Rate" column the current transfer rate between the external and local EoC modem is displayed. The quality depends on the attenuation in the distribution network. MAC address In the "MAC Address" column the MAC address of the external EoC modem is displayed. Add an external modem With this function, you can add more EoC modems to the network of the connected EoC modem. > While the device is added, it must be connected to the power supply and be ready for use. Click on button "Add" to open the "Add Device to Network" window. Enter a device name and the device password. > The password is printed on the type label of the EoC modem GLC 100

26 Click the "OK" button. It may take several seconds until the new modem is added to the network. Firmware update You can use the "GSS.lan configuration" software to update the firmware of the EoC modem that is locally connected to the PC. The latest PIB and NVM firmware files are available on for download. Click the "Upgrade Firmware" button in the main menu. Then click the "Browse" button and select the downloaded.nvm and.pib files. Start the firmware upgrade with button "OK". The firmware of the modem connected to the PC is updated. The EoC modem automatically performs a reset. Create a private net work In the "Privacy" menu, you can create a private, encrypted network and select the modems, which shall be added to the network. > All EoC modems are shipped with the default network name HomePlugAV GLC 100

27 In input field "Private Network Name" enter any network name, which should basically consist of a string without spaces. > By entering "HomePlugAV" as the network name or by clicking the "Use Default (public network)" button, the public network "HomePlugAV" is restored. > If another network name than HomePlugAV is entered, in the main menu the network is displayed as private. Basically, devices with the same network name can communicate. For a network name, a network key is generated. Thus, several private networks can be constructed, which are secured by their own network key. A network is defined by a common network key. > "Unknown Network Name" is displayed when a private network has been created using the security buttons, because the security button directly generates a network key (and no network name). Thus, a number of private networks that have been created over the security keys, are distinguished in the configuration software, only by the displayed "members". Transfer the network name with button... "Set Local Device Only" only to the modem, which is locally connected to your PC, or "Set All Devices" to all modems, the device password is entered. Using button "Set All Devices", the private network name can be assigned to the local connected modem as well as simultaneously to all modems whose device password has been entered in the main menu, so that they belong to the same network. You will see a dialogue screen that indicates whether this operation was successful. For devices, whose device password is not entered, this operation is invalid. After entering a private network name, all modems that are still in the "public" network ("HomePlugAV") are no longer displayed. This communication of the local modem with devices in the "public" network is effectively prevented GLC 100

28 Diagnostics The "Diagnostics" menu provides system information and a history of the external modems which where "active" over a period of time. In the upper section specifications of software, firmware and hardware of the EoC modem, which is connected locally to the PC, are displayed. In the lower section a history of network-connected modem is included. Here all the modems contained in the network are listed with some additional parameters. > For external modems, the following information is available: Device Name Device MAC address Device password Last known data rate of an active device Last known network name of the device The date on which the device was found on the network for the last time The information displayed can be stored for later use in a text file. Modems that are no longer part of the network, can be deleted using the "Delete" button. When trying to delete a device whose password has been entered, a dialogue screen for confirmation will appear GLC 100

29 Info In section "Preferences" the "AutoScan" function can be switched on or off. If AutoScan is enabled (default), the network will be scanned at certain intervals and newly connected / activated modems will be displayed in the lower section of the main menu. In order to update the network status at deactivated "AutoScan", click on button "Scan" in the main menu (page 23) GLC 100
