206-4218

Setup Information

This document provides installation and setup support only for the OAT100R. One or more VHF and/or UHF antennas must be installed before you proceed to set up the OAT100R. LG recommends that the system be professionally installed.

Check the following items before you begin the OAT100R installation and setup procedures.

VHF and/or UHF Antennas

__ Create a station plan for the OAT100R terrestrial input(s).

__ Install the appropriate antenna(s) in accordance with the desired channels. The VHF and/

or UHF antenna(s) must be located where it/they will have unobstructed access to the terrestrial signals. Amplify the antenna distribution as necessary.

__ Point the antenna(s) so as to achieve the best signal quality (use appropriate equipment

for measurement purposes).

__ Up to eight 75 ohm RG-6 or larger coaxial cables from the terrestrial antenna distribution

system should be available for connection to the OAT100R.

__ Confirm that the installation environment meets the >17 dB specification for the OAT100R

RF input signal-to-noise ratio.

__ Measure the signal level at each of the OAT100R RF inputs. For proper system

performance, the signal level at each RF input must be between +3 dBm (+52 dBmV) and

-83 dBm (-34 dBmV). A nominal value of -53 dBm (-4 dBmV) is recommended. Note that additional equipment (i.e., attenuators) may be required to adjust the signal level.

OAT100R

__ Unpack the OAT100R unit and all accessories.

OAT100R Accessories: • AC Power Cord and Adapter

__ Select the location for mounting the OAT100R. Ensure that adequate ventilation is available

__ Obtain the necessary attachment hardware to mount the OAT100R chassis in its targeted

location.

__ Plan and install the necessary cabling and network (Ethernet) and AC power access for

the OAT100R. You will also need the following to connect a PC directly to the OAT100R for system setup purposes: FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ).

Channel Assignments for RF Output

__ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to

incorporate the RF output of the OAT100R. Ensure that up to four contiguous CATV broadcast channels are allocated for the OAT100R RF output. The OAT100R uses either a 256-QAM or 64-QAM modulation format, thereby occupying approximately 24 MHz of frequency spectrum.

The RF start channel is user-assigned during system setup, and the remaining channels are then automatically assigned per EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation standards. For example, if the RF start channel assignment is channel 2, the three remaining channels

206-4218

Setup Information (Cont.)

will be 3, 4, and 5. However, if the RF start channel assignment is 6, the three remaining channels will be 95, 96, and 97. Refer to EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation tables for further information as required.

The highest available RF channel number for the OAT100R is 135. Thus, to allocate all four channels available for OAT100R RF output, the RF start channel must be set no higher than 132.

__ Find a location on the frequency spectrum that is free of existing noise.

Channel Assignments for IP Output

__ The OAT100R outputs IPv4 multicast streams. Ensure the institution’s IP network and

room receivers support IPv4 multicast and that the network is capable of selectively routing multicast traffic. Refer to vendor equipment documentation for further information.

__ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to

incorporate the IP output of the OAT100R. Ensure that up to eight unused and unreserved IPv4 multicast addresses, within the designated range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, are allocated for the OAT100R IP output.

IP channels are user-assigned during system setup. You may opt to specify an IP start channel and enable the system to auto-increment the remaining channel assignments. For example, if the IP start channel assignment is 227.0.0.40, the remaining channels will be

227.0.0.41, 227.0.0.42, etc. Or, you may opt to manually specify the IP details for each IP channel.

__ Reserve at least one User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for the multicast data streams.

You can use the system default (1234) or another unassigned port number for each data stream, as required, for example, 50000, 50001, etc. The port(s) must avoid conict with other protocols in use.

Note: Refer to the IANA IPv4 Multicast Address Space Registry and/or the IANA Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry for further IP address/port information as required.

Packet Identifiers (PIDs)

Note: If Pro:Idiom channels are NOT present in the site’s entertainment system, PIDs do not

need to be set in the OAT100R, and therefore, you will not need to design a PID map for the OAT100R output.

Note: See also “Packet Identiers (PIDs) Overview” on the following page.

__ Survey the PIDs currently used in the system, and design a PID map for the OAT100R

output (ensure that up to 64 PIDs are allocated). Ensure that Pro:Idiom message PIDs are never used by the video/audio PIDs for the OAT100R channels (or any other system elements).

The program start PID is user-assigned during system setup, and the 63 remaining PIDs

are then automatically assigned within the 64-PID contiguous block.

__ PIDs must be specified in the OAT100R system as hexadecimal numbers.

206-4218

Packet Identiers (PIDs) Overview

Each RF channel has ve or more associated PIDs assigned in a hierarchy (see diagram below), and the content of each RF channel is carried in a transport stream.

The transport stream is a packet-based protocol, where each packet has a PID that is used to uniquely identify packets for particular purposes (video, audio, etc.). This allows multiple video and audio streams to be multiplexed without receiver confusion. For example, if a stream contains three video programs, each video program has a unique PID. The PAT PID is always 0x0000 and all other PIDs can be in the range 0x0010 to 0x1ffe, inclusive.

The PAT and PMT are tables that indicate which PIDs are used for which purposes. The PAT contains a list of PMT PIDs. The PMT contains a list of the PIDs of elementary stream data, such as audio or video, etc. Typical transport streams contain one PID for the PAT, as well as three or more PIDs for each program (one for PMT, one for video, and one or more for audio). The PIDs used for each elementary stream must be unique to allow receivers to properly demultiplex.

Pro:Idiom adds a third PID type to each PMT. The Pro:Idiom message PID may fall anywhere in the range 0x0010 to 0x1ffe, inclusive and also must be unique. If Pro:Idiom channels are present in the target system, ensure that Pro:Idiom message PIDs are never used on any other streams in that system. To facilitate PID allocation, the OAT100R uses a block of 64 contiguous PIDs that can be moved by selecting the start PID.

Refer to ISO/IEC 13818-1:2000, Section 2.4.3, “Specication of the Transport Stream syntax and semantics,” for further information.

Rack-mount Considerations

A. Elevated Operating Ambient

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack

environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer (see Specifications information in this document).

B. Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for

safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. To ventilate the system normally and avoid overheating, leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) on each side (including top and bottom) of the OAT100R. Do NOT stack other equipment on the top of the OAT100R. Also, ensure that the unit’s AC power adapter is never stacked or bundled with other AC power adapters. Each adapter should have adequate ventilation and should be isolated from other heat sources.

C. Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the

effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

D. Reliable Earthing

Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Particular attention should be given to

supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

E. Mains Outlet Earthing

The apparatus with Class I construction must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a

protective earthing connection.

Up to eight OAT100R RF tuners may be connected for RF 256-QAM output or IP output; up to four OAT100R RF tuners may be connected for RF 64-QAM output.

3. To enable remote management, connect one end of a CAT5 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Control Port on the OAT100R rear panel, and connect the other end of the cable to the institution’s network.

Caution: The subnet 192.168.0.x is reserved for internal communication and cannot be used for the Control Port network subnet. This is the only restriction; for example, you can use 192.168.1.x, 10.x.x.x, etc. Contact your service representative for further information.

4. Connect the OAT100R power supply to the POWER connector on the OAT100R rear panel. Then, plug the AC power cord into a powered AC line receptacle. When power is applied, the PWR (Power) LED on the OAT100R front panel will initially flash red and then turn green.

The boot-up process for the OAT100R may take up to two minutes. When boot-up is complete, the STATUS LED on the OAT100R front panel will light continuously green.

5. Once the STATUS LED is lit continuously (no longer blinking), use the FTDI TTL-232R-5V-AJ cable to connect a PC to the Service Port on the OAT100R front panel.

6. Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation program on the PC, congure the serial port as follows: Bits per second/baud = 115200; Data bits = 8; Parity = None; Stop bits = 1; Flow Control = None

9. Check the Ctrl IP (Control Port IP address) eld in the System Information display. By

default, the OAT100R uses DHCP; thus, the DHCP server, if congured, assigns an IP address to the OAT100R once the OAT100R successfully connects to the network.

• If the Ctrl IP eld shows an IP address, the OAT100R is up and running on the network. Continue with step 10.

• If the network is congured for DHCP but the Ctrl IP eld is blank, refer to “Network Setup” troubleshooting information on page 68.

• If the network is not congured for DHCP, you will need to congure a static IP address for the OAT100R. Complete steps 10 to 13 (as required), and then set the OAT100R IP address using the commands indicated in step 14.

Network and Communication Setup

This section describes OAT100R communication options for configuration purposes.

Note: Before you proceed with any additional configuration, the system should be installed and operating as described in the system installation procedure on pages 16 to 21.

Also note that configuration updates periodically require that you reset the OAT100R. Make sure to reset the unit when directed to do so.

There are three options for communicating with the OAT100R.

• When the OAT100R is connected to an IP network, you can use a standard Internet

browser to communicate with the OAT100R via a graphical user interface (GUI).

• When the OAT100R is connected to an IP network, you can also use an SSH client to

communicate with the OAT100R via a command line interface.

• To establish a direct connection to the OAT100R, connect a PC to the serial port on the

OAT100R using the FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ). Plug the USB end of the cable into an open USB port on your PC. If necessary, install the device driver. Plug the other end of the cable into the Service Port jack on the OAT100R rear panel.

Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation program on the PC, configure the

serial port as follows:

− Bits per second/baud = 115200

− Data bits = 8

− Parity = None

− Stop bits = 1

− Flow Control = None

OAT100R conguration options via web GUI are described on pages 23 to 38; OAT100R conguration options via command line are described on pages 39 to 67. For security and control purposes, some options available from the command line menus are not available from the GUI.

You will need to know the “admin” user password in order to log in to either the web GUI or the command line interface. The default admin user password is “Password4Partners” (casesensitive). If necessary, for example, if the password has been changed from its default value, consult the system administrator to obtain the current admin user password.

Note: The default network setting for the OAT100R is DHCP, in which case the server assigns an IP address to the OAT100R. If necessary, consult the network administrator to obtain the IP address that has been assigned to the OAT100R.

Note: If you want to connect the PC directly to the OAT100R Control Port using an Ethernet CAT5E cable, in order to establish communication you must rst connect the PC to the OAT100R Service Port and set the OAT100R’s IP address (see “Congure the Control Port” on page 52). The OAT100R’s IP address must be on the same subnet as the PC’s IP address.

Conguration Options via GUI

Access the OAT100R Web GUI

Note: The OAT100R must be connected to an IP network for GUI access. See “Network and

Communication Setup” on page 22 for further information.

If necessary, consult the system administrator to obtain the current “admin” user password before proceeding. The default admin user password is “Password4Partners” (case-sensitive).

1. Launch a web browser, and type http://ipaddress in the browser’s address bar, where ipaddress is the network IP address of the OAT100R. Then, press Enter.

2. The system will display a login authentication pop-up window. In the User Name eld, type admin; in the Password eld, type the admin user password. Then, click OK.

The OAT100R web GUI opens with the System Status on display (see “OAT100R System Status” on the next page for further information). The options panel at the left of the screen enables you to view and congure system settings. The following sections provide detailed information on the configuration settings and commands.

Note: It is possible, if desired, to change the login password via the command line interface Setup Menu “pwd” command as described on page 62.

When you have completed your activities in the OAT100R web GUI, it is recommended that you close your browser to prevent unauthorized access to the system.
