Module Slot Number: 1 2 3 4 5 6
DTA - Modes (Digital Transport Adapter)
If the EH244 Series Encoder Host will be used as the ‘master’ in a DTA enabled system, a Drake
model ASII module must be installed in slot 6 (or slot 5, if the EH244 Series Encoder Host is also
being used as an EAS ‘master’ unit, using the Slot 6 Mode or Slot 6 + SCTE 18 EAS Mode). This
ASII module must be connected to the output of a PC that is generating the DTA control messages,
created by the Drake DTA Control software.
If the EH244 Series Encoder Host will be used as a ‘slave’ in a DTA-enabled system, a Drake model
ASII module must be installed in slot 6, and connected to the previous EH24 Series or EH244 Series
Encoder Host’s single ASI Output.
*NOTE: For ‘slave’ systems using both DTA-Modes and EAS-Modes simultaneously, a single
Drake model ASII module will perform both functions.
Power Connection
Connect the AC line cord to an appropriate 120-240V, 50/60Hz AC power source. The EH244 Series
Encoder Host will always be powered and running as long as it is connected to its power source.
As an option, you may connect the EAS contact closure terminals to the output of an
EAS receiver to enable emergency alerts. Connect the ethernet control interface port to
a secured network or VPN for remote system configuration.*
