§
Supply power to equipment
§
Download configuration information and software
§
Run operational check and diagnostics
§
Before You Begin
Before you begin, review the installation instructions, gather the required items, and complete
the tasks listed below:
Determine if the subscriber’ssystem requirements include an A/B In, RF Bypass, Dual
§
A/B-RF Bypass module, or a STARFONE module. These options can be installed before
leaving the office. Installation instructions are provided with these modules.
Verify that you have 75-ohm coaxial cables with F-type connectors and RCA baseband
§
phonotype cables.
Determine if you are connecting the DCT 2000 to a standard TV or a composite (baseband)
§
monitor.
Place the DCT 2000 on a smooth, flat surface and remove any obstructions that could
§
interfere with the free flow of air over, under, or around it. Advise the subscriber not to
place anything on top of the unit.
Installing the DCT 2000
To install the DCT 2000:
1If an add-on module is required and it was not previously installed, do that now. When
installed, verify that the appropriate configuration information has been downloaded via
the access control system.
2Determine if you are connecting the DCT 2000 to a conventional TV or to a monitor. To
install the video connection:
For a conventional TV, use a 75-ohm coaxial cable with F-type connectors.
