the ProView 7000 device. When removing the unit, remove the grounded connection only after the unit is
switched off and unplugged.

2.4 Installing the Unit in a Rack

CAUTION: For rack installation, ensure that a designated 19" rack is fully prepared for installation.
Ensure sufficient space behind the rack for easy access for installation and maintenance. Rack mounting
requires the use of special “L” shape slides, available from Harmonic. The amount of units installed in a
rack is a function of the units’ power consumption and heat dissipation. Address Harmonic support for
calculating the maximum load on the rack.

The following sections detail the installation of a ProView 7000 unit in a 19" rack using the
dedicated mounting slides.

2.4.1 Fitting the Brackets

To f i t t h e b r acke t s:

1. Fit a pair of brackets to both side rails of the rack housing with two flatwasher screws on
each side. Use the two front holes at the sides of the housing to attach the brackets.
(Complementing nuts are already installed on the inner side of the holes, the four screws
required are not included in the supplied kit).

2. Ensure proper grounding of the rack assembly to prevent potential electrical problems.

3.3 How to Configure and Monitor the ProView 7000

You can configure and monitor the ProView 7000 with either the front panel or over an IP
network using the ProView

■ Configuring the ProView 7000 using the Front Panel

■ Monitoring the ProView 7000 using the Front Panel

■ Configuring the ProView 7000 using EMS

■ Monitoring the ProView 7000 using EMS

3.3.1 Configuring the ProView 7000 using the Front Panel

The ProView 7000 has four logical multiplexes. A license is required for using more than one
multiplex. Some hardware configurations support up to four satellite RF inputs.

The basic order of configuring the ProView 7000 is:

1. Configure a DVB-S/S2 input port.

2. Configure GbE input or output – You cannot receive data over IP with the GbE ports and
output through the GbE ports at the same time, the GbE mode must be changed between
In and Out, the device reboots as part of the process.

3. Descramble selection – The CAM Slot Properties dialog monitors and manages the
selected CAM slot element. It enables you to associate a CAM slot to a multiplex in port
and enable descrambling mode.

4. DVB-S/S2 Input Port association – The DVB-S/S2 In ports in the Physical Input box are
associated by default to multiplex ins in the Multiplex Input box according to their index
numbers (1–4), therefore DVB-S/S2 In Port 1 is associated to DVB Multiplex In 1. You can
associate different ports or additional ports to Multiplex Ins.

7000 EMS.

NOTE: If the input is MPEG then change the table extraction of either a multiplex in or a multiplex out
to PSI Only before you associate the respective multiplex, see 4.5.3.1 Multiplex Input Properties and
