Welcome to your iPump Media Server/Store and Forward
Receiver ! Your Wegener iPump is an advanced multimedia

appliance that allows simple, efficient management of both live and
recorded digital video, audio, and data content. With a single unit,
you can receive, decode, and play out broadcast-quality
transmissions while receiving and recording multiple programs or IP
data files from a satellite or TCP/IP connection. Along with our
Compel MediaPlan® software, you can insert content into real-time or
recorded programs and can schedule playback of custom sequences
of live and recorded content. This Quick Start Guide will help you
quickly set up and start operating your iPump. For a full description
of the iPump's abilities and detailed installation and operation
instructions, please consult the iPump User's Reference Manual
available on the worldwide web at wegener.com. For additional help,
contact us by phone at [phone], by fax at [phone], or
by email at [email protected].

1. Remove your iPump, ac power cord, and bagged
accessories from the shipping carton. Call your shipping carrier
immediately if any damage is discovered.

2. Place your iPump indoors on a well-supported, flat table or
desktop or mount it in a standard equipment rack. If rack­mounting your iPump, please consult the iPump User's
Reference Manual for detailed instructions and specific cautions.

3. ConnectConnect the following items (refer to Figures 1 and 2):

f. The L-band output from your antenna's LNB to the iPump's RF

input port (a) [950 to 2150 MHz; female Type F connector
with extender cable attached or BNC connector if your unit
has the optional ASI input]

g. A suitable monitor to the iPump's audio port (b). [A DB-15 HD

cable assembly is included.]

h. A suitable video monitor to the iPump's video port (c1) [c1 is

a female BNC for SDI.] or (c2) [c2 is a female BNC for
composite video.]

Note: Repeat steps (b.) and (c.) for the second decoder if your

iPump is equipped with two decoders.

The liquid crystal display (LCD) provides menu, data, and input
screens to the user. Menu screens are entry points to further
screens showing signal or unit status or to user-input screens that
can be changed by the user. The "home" screen displays the

iPump unit's Serial Number, Eb/N0, and alternately displays FEC
Ratio, Signal Frequency, and Transport Rate. This screen may be

reached at any time by repeatedly pressing the ESC button.
Six pushbuttons allow you to move through the various screens,

select characters for input, and accept or reject changes. To move
downward or upward through the menu screens, use the ENTER
and ESC buttons. To enter or change data in editable fields, press
the ENTER button and use the up rr and down ss arrow buttons to
increment the highlighted character or digit. Use the right ww and
left vv arrow buttons to move to adjacent digits and press ENTER
again to accept your input. Pressing ESC before accepting your
input will cancel any changes.

Eight light-emitting diodes (LEDs) illuminate to show unit status
at a glance. Table 1 gives the meaning of each LED indicator.

4. Next, start your iPump as follows:

a. Connect the ac power cord to the iPump's IEC

receptacle (ff, Figure 1) and to a 100-to-120-Vac or 200-to-240-
Vac source.

b. Set the power switch to the On position ( I ) and

press and hold the ENTER button on the front panel for two
seconds. The iPump will power up and begin the boot process.
Outputs are muted during the short initialization time. All eight
LED indicators flash on and off as the unit begins initialization.
Until you configure your iPump's RF settings (see Step 66), a
loss-of-carrier alarm may be displayed (red ALARM LED
indicator is lit and LCD screen indicates the alarm state). RF
settings are not necessary for units with the optional ASI input.

Note: To easily restart the iPump any time after a normal shutdown

(see Step 9), simply press the ENTER button on the iPump’s
front panel (refer to the User's Manual for details). If the
receiver is tracking a carrier signal, the green CARRIER LED
will light.
