NOTE TO SATELLITE DISH INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call your attention to articles 810 and 820 of the 2002

National Electrical code. Refer to article 810, in particular 810-1 and 810-15, for required grounding of the metal dish antenna. Refer also to the 810-2 which, by reference to article 820, requires that the satellite dish coaxial cable shield be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

1. Verify that the COM 23 satellite receiver is set up and functioning (i.e., check that

the COM 23 is connected to an NTSC monitor [for tuning purposes], that it is powered up, that initialization is complete, and that the NTSC monitor is displaying the default channel properly—refer to COM 23 documentation).

2. On the COM 23, tune to the desired MPEG-4 HD channel using the controls on the front panel or IR remote control.

3. Connect the X-Port/Ethernet cable between the COM 23 satellite receiver and the HCS6700.

4. Perform one of the following per your installation:

• If the HCS6700 will NOT be used with a unique feature card in the card frame

CONTROLLER slot, connect a 75 ohm BNC-to-BNC coaxial cable between ASI OUT on the HCS6700 and ASI IN on the modulator. Then, continue with step 5.

Note: The BNC cable must be less than 30 feet (9.2 meters) in length.

• If the HCS6700 will be used with a unique feature card in the CONTROLLER

slot, the cable to the ASI OUT port may not be required. Refer to the

Installation & Setup Guide for the feature card for further instruction before you continue this setup procedure.

5. If your installation includes a separate modulator and upconverter, connect an RF coaxial cable between IF OUT on the modulator and IF IN on the upconverter, and then check the modulator and upconverter for correct settings (QAM type, channel number, etc.).

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for each of the COM 23/transcoder pairs.

7. Plug in the power to the CodePlus card frame containing the newly installed HCS6700 card(s). The green Status LED will blink at an approximately 1 Hz rate while the HCS6700 card boots up. The boot-up process for an HCS6700 may take up to two minutes, and there is no ASI output (if applicable) during boot-up.

When the boot-up is complete, both the green Status LED and the amber LED at

the base of the X-Port Link connector will be lit continuously. The green LED on the X-Port Link connector should be blinking at a 2 to 3 Hz rate (if video is present on the Ethernet).

8. If applicable, connect the RF output on the upconverter to the combiner.

9. Check one or more room receivers to make sure all channels are properly tuned,

mapped, and operating.
