PCS400R
• Unpack the PCS400R Pro:Centric server unit and all accessories.
PCS400R Accessories: AC Power Cord and Adapter
• Select the location for mounting the PCS400R. Ensure adequate ventilation is available.
• Obtain the necessary attachment hardware to mount the PCS400R chassis in its targeted location.
• Plan and install the necessary cabling and network (Ethernet) and AC power access for the PCS400R. You also will need the following to connect
a PC directly to the PCS400R for system setup purposes: FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ).
Video Channel Assignments for RF Output (QAM-B)
Each input programme is limited to one-half or one-third of the output channel bitrates (Mbps), which in turn are dependent on the modulation
format. 256-QAM modulation supports up to 38.8 Mbps per channel, and 64-QAM modulation supports up to 26.97 Mbps per channel.
• Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to incorporate the RF output of the PCS400R. Ensure that
up to eight contiguous CATV broadcast channels are allocated for the PCS400R RF output. The PCS400R uses a 256-QAM or 64-QAM modulation
format, thereby occupying approximately 48 MHz of frequency spectrum.
The RF start channel is user-assigned during system setup (in the Admin Client), and the remaining channels (up to seven) are then
automatically assigned per EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation standards. For example, if the RF start channel assignment is channel 2, the
seven remaining channels will be 3, 4, 5, 6, 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 PCS400R is 135. Thus, to allocate all eight channels available for PCS400R RF output, the RF
start channel must be set no higher than 128.
ENGLISH
• Find a location on the frequency spectrum that is free of existing noise.
7
Video Channel Assignments for RF Output (DVB-C)
Each input programme is limited to one-half or one-third of the output channel bitrates (Mbps), which in turn are dependent on the modulation
format. 256-QAM modulation supports up to 37.27 Mbps (6 MHz bandwidth), 45.05 Mbps (7 MHz bandwidth) or 50.87 Mbps (8 MHz bandwidth)
per channel, and 64-QAM modulation supports up to 27.95 Mbps (6 MHz bandwidth), 33.79 Mbps (7 MHz bandwidth) or 38.15 Mbps (8 MHz
ENGLISH
bandwidth) per channel.
• Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to incorporate the RF output of the PCS400R. Ensure that
up to eight contiguous CATV channel frequencies are allocated for the PCS400R RF output. The PCS400R uses a 256-QAM or 64-QAM modulation
format, thereby occupying approximately 48 MHz, 56 MHz, or 64 MHz (depending on channel bandwidth) of frequency spectrum.
The RF start channel frequency is user-assigned, in KHz, during system setup (in the Admin Client), and the remaining channel frequencies
(up to seven) are then automatically assigned in accordance with the specied bandwidth. For example, if the RF start channel frequency
assignment is 57,000 KHz with a 7 MHz bandwidth, the seven remaining channel frequencies will be 64,000 KHz, 71,000 KHz, 78,000 KHz,
85,000 KHz, 92,000 KHz, 99,000 KHz, and 106,000 KHz.
The highest available RF channel frequency for the PCS400R is 861,000 KHz.
• Find a location on the frequency spectrum that is free of existing noise.
Video Channel Assignments for RF Output (ISDB-T)
Each input programme is limited to one-half or one-third of the output channel bitrates (Mbps). ISDB-T modulation supports up to 23.23 Mbps (6
MHz bandwidth) per channel.
• Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to incorporate the RF output of the PCS400R. Ensure that
up to two (Java application) or three (HTML application) contiguous CATV broadcast channels are allocated for the PCS400R RF output. The
PCS400R occupies up to 18 MHz of frequency spectrum.
The RF start channel is user-assigned during system setup (in the Admin Client), and the remaining channels (up to one for the Java application
or two for the HTML application) are then automatically assigned in accordance with the 6 MHz bandwidth. For example, if the RF start channel
assignment is channel 7 on a server congured for the HTML application, the two remaining channels will be 8 and 9.
The data channel number must be between 7 and 69. Thus, for example, to allocate all three channels available for PCS400R RF output with the
HTML application, the RF start channel must be set no higher than 67.
* Note: The Pro:Centric server cannot generate channels 13 and 14 simultaneously. If you intend to configure more than one channel, set the
data channel number from 7 to 12 (two channels) or 7 to 11 (three channels) or from 14 to 68.
• Find a location on the frequency spectrum that is free of existing noise.
8
Video Channel Assignments for IP Output
Each IP stream is limited to 19.4 Mbps.
• The PCS400R outputs IPv4 multicast streams. Ensure the institution’s IP net work and room receivers support IPv4 multicast and that the
network is capable of selectively routing multicast trac. 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 PCS400R. Ensure that
up to 23 unused and unreserved IPv4 multicast addresses, within the designated range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, are allocated for the
PCS400R IP output.
The IP start channel is user-assigned in the Admin Client, and the remaining channel assignments are then automatically incremented. 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. Since the rst two streams
are reserved for site data, the rst video content channel in this scenario will be 227.0.0.42.
• Reserve one User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for the multicast data streams. You can use the system default (1234) or another unassigned
port number, for example, 50,000, 50,001, etc. The port must avoid conict 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.
ASI Output (Optional)
ASI output supports up to 19.4 Mbps each for GEM and site data (total of 38.8 Mbps).
• If the system is using ASI output, install the modulator and upconverter that will receive the ASI output signal from the PCS400R. Refer to the
manufacturer’s documentation.

This section describes how to complete the initial network conguration for the PCS400R. See also typical setup and VPN network connections
diagrams above.
ENGLISH
1 If your system is using ASI output, make the following connections; otherwise, go to step 2.
• Connect a 75 ohm BNC-to-BNC coaxial cable between ASI OUT on the PCS400R and ASI IN on the modulator.
• Connect an RF coaxial cable between IF OUT on the modulator and IF IN on the upconverter.
* Note : The BNC cable must be less than 9.2 meters in length.
2 To enable remote management, connect one end of a CAT5 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Control Port on the PCS400R rear panel, and connect the
other end of the cable to the institution’s network.
3 Connect the PCS400R power supply to the POWER connector on the PCS400R rear panel. Then, plug the AC power cord into a powered AC line
receptacle. When power is applied, the PWR (Power) LED on the PCS400R front panel will initially ash red and then turn green (blinking during
boot-up).
The boot-up process for the PCS400R may take several minutes. When boot-up is complete, the PWR LED on the PCS400R front panel will light
continuously green.
4 Once the PWR 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 PCS400R
rear panel.
5 Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation programme on the PC, congure the serial port as follows:
- Bits per second/baud = 115,200
- Data bits = 8
- Parity = None
- Stop bits = 1
- Flow Control = None
* Note: To avoid conguration errors, make sure the keyboard settings on the terminal emulator assign the backspace character to Ctrl + H
(ASCII 8).
Once the connection is established, you should see a login prompt. (If the login prompt is not automatically displayed, press Enter to refresh the
screen.)
6 At the login as: prompt, type admin and press Enter. Then, at the password: prompt, type Password4Partners (case-sensitive)
