SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
There is always a danger present when using electronic equipment.
Unexpected high voltages can be present at unusual locations in defective
equipment and signal distribution systems. Become familiar with the equipment
that you are working with and observe the following safety precautions.
• Every precaution has been taken in the design of your MRD 5800 to ensure that
it is as safe as possible. However, safe operation depends on you the operator.
• Always be sure your equipment is in good working order. Ensure that all points
of connection are secure to the chassis and that protective covers are in place
and secured with fasteners.
• Never work alone when working in hazardous conditions. Always have another
person close by in case of an accident.
• Always refer to the manual for safe operation. If you have a question about the
application or operation call Sencore for assistance.
• WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock never allow your
equipment to be exposed to water, rain or high moisture environments. If
exposed to a liquid, remove power safely (at the breaker) and send your
equipment to be serviced by a qualified technician.
• To reduce the risk of shock the MRD 5800 must be connected to a mains sock et
outlet with a protective earthing connection.
• For the MRD 5800 the mains plug is the main disconnect and should remain
readily accessible and operable at all times.
The MRD 5800 is equipped with an internal system battery. The MRD 5800
must be sent to Sencore service for replacement of this battery.
• When installing the MRD 5800 utilizing the DC power supply, the power supply
MUST be used in conjunction with an over-current protective device rated at 50
V, 5 A, type: Slow-blo, as part of battery-supply circuit.
• To reduce the risk of shock and damage to equipment, it is recommended that
the chassis grounding screw located on the rear of the MRD 5800 – be
connected to the installation’s rack, the vehicle’s chassis, t he battery’s negative
terminal, and/or earth ground.
CAUTION – Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.

2.4 AC Dual Redundant Pow e r Conne c t ion (optional)
The Dual Redundant option allows the MRD 5800 to be powered by two separate
supplies either operating 120V or 240V systems. The power supply will automatically
detect the system it is connected to. To hook up the power use the following steps:
1. Locate the AC power cord that was included with the MRD 5800.
2. Plug the female end of the power cord (end with no prongs) into the back of the
unit.
3. Locate a protected outlet (usually inside of the rack) to plug the male end of the
power cable into.
2.5 DC Power Connection
The MRD 5800 with the DC chassis option is intended for use on 48V DC systems. A
power cable is not included for this option. In order to apply power to the unit in this
configuration, simply connect the screw terminals on rear of the unit to the rack’s DC
power rails.
Be sure that the power source and cable is used in conjunction with an over -current
protective device rated at 50 V, 5 A, type: Slow-blo fuse as part of battery-supply
circuit. Also, to reduce the risk of shock and damage to equipment, it is
recommended that the chassis grounding screw (1.3) located on the rear of the MRD
5800 – be connected to the installation’s rack, battery negative terminal, and/or earth
ground.
2.6 Maintenance
The MRD 5800 is virtually a maintenance-free piece of equipment. There are no user
serviceable parts on the inside of the unit
2.7 Network Setup via Front Panel
The MRD 5800 can be setup on a network connection to allow remote management and
SNMP configuration. For these features to work, the network settings for the MRD 5800
must first be configured properly for the network it is connected to.

4.1 MRD 5800 Web Interface Overview
4.1.1 Logging into the MRD 5800 Web Interfa c e
To open the MRD 5800 web interface use one of the following supported browsers and
navigate to the unit’s IP address:
• Internet Explorer 7 & above
• Firefox 3.5 & above
• Google Chrome
The user will need to login to the web interface. By default the admin user account is
available without a password. Press the login button in order to login to the web
interface.
4.1.2 Hiding Unused Inputs
The MRD 5800 web interface allows the user to hide inactive inputs using the
button or show all available inputs by click the button. Only
the inputs configured as the Primary Input and Backup Input (see Section 4.2.1) will be
displayed when unused inputs are hidden.
4.1.3 Buttons and Status Indicators
When the icon is shown user configuration is available. Clicking this button wil l open
menus where settings can be changed by the user.
When t he icon is shown additional status information can be viewed. Click this button
will expand the menu to display the additional status informat ion. All text i n s t at us m enus

Status is inactive. Function is currently disabled or unavailable.
4.1.4 Drag and Drop Menus
Certain menus in the MRD 5800 allow the user to drag and drop items to auto populate
fields. Conditional Access and Service Selection menus are some examples of menus
that drag and drop can be used. In the example below a service in the transport stream
view on the right hand side of the window is selected and dragged over to auto populate
the PIDs in the service selection section.
4.2 Main Pa n el
The Main panel of the MRD 5800 web interface is used to configure the unit to decode,
de-encapsulate and demodulate. When configuring the MRD 5800 the user begins at the
top of the menu and works down. The inputs are configured, then descrambling (if
present), then service or PIDs are selected for decode, then outputs are configured.
Pictured below is a fully populated unit with all options licensed.

4.2.1 Configuring Active Inputs
This menu allows the user to configure a primary and backup input. In case there is an
input failover the MRD 5800 is capable of detecting the failed state and switching to a
secondary backup input in order to provide a continuous output. Which input is primary
and backup, how the inputs switchover and restore and switchover timing is all user
configurable. The user can force the MRD 5800 to switch between the Primary and
Backup Inputs by clicking the button. To change the active input and
failover settings click the icon next to Input Selection:

4.2.2 Configuring ASI Input
This menu allows the user to either Enable or Disable the ASI Input on the MRD 5800.
Beginning with revision J main boards the ASI ports can be configured as either an input
or output. Earlier revision remain configured as 1 input and 1 ouput port. Main board
version can be located on the About tab under the Options section.

4.2.3 Configuring MPEG/IP Input
If the MPEG/IP Input card was selected as a factory installed option, the following menus
and options will be available for configuration. This menu allows the user to configure the
MPEG/IP inputs. Each MPEG/IP card has two ports that can be set to receive and/or
transmit. This menu is for setting up the reception of MPEG/IP unicast or multicast
transport streams. The menu for Stream 1 and 2 have the same settings. IGMPv2 is
used to join/leave multicast streams by default if no IGMP Filter addresses are entered.
If IGMP Filter Mode addresses are specified then IGMPv3 is used.
