IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued from previous page)
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 PIVD100R. Do NOT stack
other equipment on the top of the PIVD100R.
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.

Setup Information
This document provides installation and setup support only for the PIVD100R. The satellite
dish antenna and satellite STBs must be installed and operating before you proceed to set up
the PIVD100R. LG recommends that the system be professionally installed.
Check the following items before you begin the PIVD100R installation and setup procedures.
Satellite Dish Antenna
__ The satellite dish must be located where it will have unobstructed access to the satellite
signals. At least RG-6 or larger coaxial cables must be installed between the satellite dish
antenna system and the satellite STB. Refer to documentation provided with the satellite
dish antenna.
__ Ensure the appropriate satellite dish configuration (either 3-LNB or 5-LNB depending on
the satellite provider) is in place for MPEG-4 HD channel reception. If the number of
transcoders exceeds the dish antenna capacity, multi-switch equipment will be required.
For more information, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
Satellite STBs
__ DIRECTV satellite service: Up to eight COM 23 satellite STBs are supported for either RF
or IP output.
__ DISH Network satellite service: Up to six ViP ® 222 or ViP 222k satellite STBs are
supported for RF output, or up to eight ViP 222 or ViP 222k satellite STBs are supported
for IP output.
__ Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation, and carefully follow the system setup
procedures for each satellite STB. (The satellite STBs provide the X-Port signal inputs
for the PIVD100R.)
__ Authorization from the satellite service provider is required for HD channels. Contact the
provider to get subscription programming authorization for each satellite STB.
PIVD100R
__ Unpack the PIVD100R unit and all accessories.
PIVD100R Accessories:• AC Power Cord and Adapter
• 8 x 1 meter CAT5E Cables (for X-Port connections)
__ Select the location for mounting the PIVD100R. Ensure that adequate ventilation is
available
__ Obtain the necessary attachment hardware to mount the PIVD100R chassis in its targeted
location.
__ Plan and install the necessary cabling and network (Ethernet) and AC power access for
the PIVD100R. You will also need the following to connect a PC directly to the PIVD100R
for system setup purposes: FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ).

Setup Information (Cont.)
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 PIVD100R. Ensure that up to four contiguous CATV
channels are allocated for the PIVD100R RF output. The PIVD100R uses a 256-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 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 PIVD100R is “135.” Thus, to allocate
all four channels available for PIVD100R 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 PIVD100R 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 PIVD100R. Ensure that up to 16 unused and unreserved
IPv4 multicast addresses, within the designated range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, are
allocated for the PIVD100R 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 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.

1. Verify that each satellite STB is set up and functioning. Each STB should be powered up,
initialized, authorized, and displaying the default channel properly—refer to the manufacturer’s
documentation.
Caution: Do NOT make any connections between the satellite STBs and the
PIVD100R until you have verified that the STBs are authorized and functioning
properly.
2. For each satellite STB: Connect one of the supplied CAT5E cables between one of the
X-Ports on the PIVD100R rear panel and the ETHERNET port on the satellite STB.
Note: Once you make the connection between a satellite STB and the PIVD100R, STB
front panel and remote control functionality may be limited. If necessary, to restore IR
remote usability, unplug the X-Port cable and reset the STB. (The STB/tuner channels will
be set later during the system setup.)
3. To enable remote management, connect one end of a CAT5 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the
Control Port on the PIVD100R 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 STB 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 PIVD100R power supply to the POWER connector on the PIVD100R rear panel.

Network and Communication Setup
This section describes PIVD100R 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 15 to 19.
Also note that configuration updates periodically require that you reset the PIVD100R. Make
sure to reset the unit when directed to do so.
There are three options for communicating with the PIVD100R.
• When the PIVD100R is connected to an IP network, you can use a standard Internet
browser to communicate with the PIVD100R via a graphical user interface (GUI).
• When the PIVD100R is connected to an IP network, you can also use an SSH client to
communicate with the PIVD100R via a command line interface.
• To establish a direct connection to the PIVD100R, connect a PC to the serial port on the
PIVD100R 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 PIVD100R 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
PIVD100R conguration options via web GUI are described on pages 21 to 36; PIVD100R
conguration options via command line are described on pages 37 to 60. 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 PIVD100R is DHCP, in which case the server
assigns an IP address to the PIVD100R. If necessary, consult the network administrator to
obtain the IP address that has been assigned to the PIVD100R.
Note: If you want to connect the PC directly to the PIVD100R Control Port using an Ethernet
CAT5E cable, in order to establish communication you must rst connect the PC to the
PIVD100R Service Port and set the PIVD100R’s IP address (see “Congure the Control Port”
on pages 48 to 49). The PIVD100R’s IP address must be on the same subnet as the PC’s IP
address.

Configure STB/Output Assignments
This option enables you to recongure STB/output assignments. Note that each STB can
only be assigned one output stream (DIRECTV) or one pair of streams (DISH Network). If
you remap an existing stream assignment to another STB X-Port, the initial assignment will
be disconnected.
For example: If STB 1 is currently streaming on output 1, and STB 2 is remapped so that it
is streaming on output 1, the initial STB 1 assignment will be disconnected. If all STBs are
currently assigned to output streams, STB 1 will now be assigned the output that was
previously assigned to STB 2. If STB 2 initially had “no connection” status before it was
remapped to output 1, STB 1 will now have “no connection” status.
If you wish to remap an existing stream or pair of streams to another STB, it is recommended
that you rst modify the output assignment of the stream in question to “no connection” before
you reassign the stream as required.

Schedule an STB Software Update (ViP 222 or ViP 222k STBs Only)
This option is available only for ViP 222 and ViP 222k STBs. The STB Software Update feature
enables the STB to check for and download software updates on a one-time, user-dened
basis. An STB Update should periodically be scheduled in conjunction with software updates
from the satellite service provider.
Note: If you intend to schedule an STB software update, make sure the time is set
on the PIVD100R. See “Set the Time Zone” and “Set the Date and Time” on pages
53 to 55 for further information.
Note: At the time an update is scheduled to begin, the PIVD100R will switch the
STB(s) to standby in order to enable it/them to download the update. When the 30
minutes allowed for the update window is over, the PIVD100R will power the STB(s)

Troubleshooting
PIVD100R Setup
The following sections provide basic troubleshooting information for the PIVD100R.
Equipment Setup Review
• Make sure all connectors and connections are tight and secure on all entertainment system
components.
• Check the PIVD100R LEDs:
− Under standard operating conditions the PWR (Power) LED on the PIVD100R front panel
is continuously lit green. If there is a hardware fault, the PWR LED will turn and stay red.
(When power is rst applied to the PIVD100R, the PWR LED initially flashes red and then
turns green.)
− When the PIVD100R is booted and operating normally, the STATUS LED is continuously
lit green.
• COM 23 STBs: Ensure the satellite STB access card is installed, up-to-date, and authorized
by DIRECTV.
• ViP 222 and ViP 222k STBs: Ensure the satellite STB smart card is up-to-date and authorized
by DISH Network.
Network Setup
If the network is configured for DHCP but the PIVD100R has not been assigned an IP
address, i.e., the Ctrl IP field in the PIVD100R System Information display is blank:
1. Check the Control Port connector on the rear panel of the PIVD100R. Make sure the
cable connection is tight and secure.
2. Observe the green LED on the Control Port. Once the PIVD100R is connected to the
network, the LED will be lit continuously.
3. Contact the network administrator to verify the network status and check that the DHCP
server is working properly.

assignments to determine whether the proper IP address is being
used to communicate with the PIVD100R.
• If DHCP is not enabled, connect a PC to the PIVD100R Service
Port, display the System Information, and ensure the IP address
shown in the Ctrl IP field is the IP address being used to
communicate with the PIVD100R. If necessary, update the
Control Port configuration as described in this document.

• If using RF output, check that the RF signal level at the receiver is
OK. The PIVD100R signal level at the TV input (ANTENNA IN)
must be between 0 to +7 dBmV. Also, check the RF power level at
the receiver as well as the signal-to-noise ratio.
• If using IP output, check for an error-free Ethernet connection, and
check the IP links at the switches.
Yes
No
To verify the PIVD100R output:
• For RF output, check the signal at RF OUT on the PIVD100R rear
panel. The signal level at RF OUT should be approximately 42
dBmV.
• For IP output, check the LEDs on the PIVD100R Feature Port.
When the amber LED is lit continuously, the PIVD100R is
operating/streaming normally. If the green LED is lit, there is a
viable connection to the IP distribution network, but no traffic. If the
amber LED is blinking, there is intermittent traffic, but no streaming.
