Typical System Installation

(see also Typical Setup Flow Charts and VPN Network Connections Overview diagrams)

1. If your system is using ASI output, make the following two connections; otherwise, go to step 2.

• Connect a 75 ohm BNC-to-BNC coaxial cable between ASI OUT on the PCS150R and

ASI IN on the modulator.

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

• Connect an RF coaxial cable between IF OUT on the modulator and IF IN on the upcon-

verter.

2. Connect one end of a CAT5 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET-0 port on the PCS150R rear panel, and connect the other end of the cable to the institution’s network.

3. Connect the PCS150R power supply to the POWER connector on the PCS150R rear panel.

4. Use the straight-through serial cable and, if necessary, the USB adapter to connect a PC to the RS-232 port on the PCS150R rear panel. (This step will enable you to verify the network connection once power is applied in step 6.)

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

6. Plug the AC power cord into a powered AC line receptacle. When power is applied, the STATUS LED on the PCS150R front panel will light, and you will see boot-up messages on the PC.

When the boot-up is complete, a System Information display identies important information

about the PCS150R, including the unit serial number, hardware ID (rmware version), software versions, MAC addresses, and IP addresses, for example:

PCS150R Pro:Centric Server v4.5

SN: 001-12410005 Hardware ID: 1.1.0.1 OS version: Linux 2.6.38-zenith+ OS release: #204 Mon May 2 17:21:54 CDT 2011 Eth0 MAC: 00:0C:63:3B:00:55 Eth0 IP: 192.168.10.77 Eth1 MAC: 00:0C:63:3B:00:65 Eth1 IP: n/a VPN IP: n/a RF config: Mode 3, QAM-B, RF: 6 MHz, 5.36 MSps, ASI: 38.81 Mbps RF channel: 69 Local time: Wed May 18 16:08:12 CDT 2011

7. Check the Eth0 IP eld in the display. By default, the PCS150R uses DHCP; thus, the DHCP server assigns an IP address to the PCS150R once the PCS150R successfully connects to the network. If the Eth0 IP eld shows an IP address, the PCS150R is up and running on the network. If the Eth0 IP eld is blank, refer to Troubleshooting information on page 23.

8. Make the appropriate connection to the RF distribution system:

• ASI output: Connect the RF output on the upconverter to the RF distribution center

combiner, and balance the RF signal so that the Pro:Centric signal level at the TV(s) is between 0 to +7 dBmV.

• RF output: Connect RF OUT on the PCS150R to the RF distribution center combiner, and

balance the RF signal so that the Pro:Centric signal level at the TV(s) is between 0 to +7 dBmV.

Caution: For proper system performance, the Pro:Centric signal level at the TV input (ANTENNA IN) must be between 0 to +7 dBmV. Note that additional equipment may be required to adjust the signal level.

9. Configure the ASI or RF output parameters in the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric™ Server Admin Client User Guide for further information.

Note: By default, the server output is enabled for QAM-B modulation (RF output).

PCS150R Configuration Options

This section describes configuration options for the PCS150R.

Note: Before you proceed with any additional server configuration, the system should be installed and operating as described in the system setup procedure on pages 11 and 12.

Also note that configuration updates will generally require that you reset the PCS150R. Make sure to reset the unit when directed to do so.

Network and Communication Options

There are two options for establishing communication with the PCS150R:

• Direct connection to the PCS150R RS-232 port

Connect a PC to the RS-232 port on the PSC150R rear panel using a DB9 Male-to-DB9 Female RS-232 straight-through serial cable (Example: Cables Unlimited PCM-2100-06 serial cable) and, if necessary, a USB 2.0-to-serial DB9 adapter (Example: Cables Unlimited USB-2920 adapter).

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

serial port as follows:

− Bits per second = 115200

− Data bits = 8

− Parity = None

− Stop bits = 1

− Flow Control = None

• Network connection to the PCS150R Ethernet port

Use an SSH client to establish communication with the PCS150R. The default network setting for the PCS150R is DHCP, in which case the server assigns an IP address to the PCS150R. If necessary, consult the network administrator to obtain the IP address that has been assigned to the PCS150R.

If necessary, consult the network administrator to obtain the “admin” user password before proceeding.
