The Headend Web Server (HWS) from Blonder Tongue allows an operator the means to remotely access a QAM Transcoder (transmodulator) Series headend from anywhere in the world using a web browser over the Internet without requiring any additional software to be installed. The HWS is an add-on hardware based solution housed in a single height, rack mountable unit. It features a built web server that hosts software just like the QCentral software to communicate to the QT headend.

Just like the original QCentral software, the HWS is a valuable addition so that an operator can quickly and painlessly get real time information from a remote headend location to troubleshoot and even fix a field failure from the business office or anywhere any internet connection is available. The easy to use interface provides many functions, such as display and control of the input transponder frequency, the output channel, digital signal level, the signal to noise ratio as well as the ability to remotely turn off the QAM signal and turn on a hot spare unit. We have built in many advanced features such as DHCP or static IP support as well as 2 levels of password control including read/write and read only access modes.

The Headend Web Server is the perfect tool for the QAM Transcoder digital headend. It offer’s the ultimate customer service solution for remote and unmanned headend locations with it’s user activated capability to “remotely diagnose and heal a field problem” and eliminating the need for a costly truck roll or lengthy downtime.
