Egatel TE9000
The Egatel TE9000-E6 is a digital transmitter. With its integrated modulator, it covers almost all of the TV systems (analog and digital). The Egatel TE9000 integrates the most up-to-date signal processing technology in order to transmit high quality and reliable signals. It can work in digital networks such as MFN (Multiple Frequency Networks) and SFN (Single Frequency Networks). Some of the key features are: compatibility with the DVB-T2 norm, MISO processing, PAPR reduction, digital pre-correction (linear and non-linear), etc.
About
This connector was designed to work with the model TE9000E6. With it, you can monitor the state of the input and output of the transmitter and the GPS internal behavior. It displays the different parameters for the amplifiers and can be used to supervise the parameters configured for the DVB-T2, RF, QoS and pre-correction techniques.

Installation and configuration
Creation
Main connection
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device. e.g., 10.10.12.3.
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device. The default value is public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device. The default value is private.
Usage
Once created, the element can be used immediately. There are 11 pages available.
