X-Digital Systems XDS PR04P Quick Start Guide
1 Guidelines
It is very important that you review this guide in its entirety before installing your XDS
PRO4P receiver. Additionally, please make sure you have followed all of the
instructions in this guide before calling support.
Please make all satellite RF, data (LAN/WAN) and audio connections prior to applying AC
power to the XDS receiver
XDS urges stations to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the receiver
from power spikes and brownouts. If you are located in an area susceptible to frequent
lightning storms, please also consider lightning suppressors. Many uninterruptible
power supplies are not rated to provide sufficient protection for lightning strikes.
This receiver will NOT receive network programming until you connect it to the internet
and activate it per the instructions in this document. Your XDS receiver must always be
connected to the internet to ensure proper operation.
Appendix A at the bottom of this document contains a front panel menu map that can
help you navigate through the XDS receiver settings and configuration
2 Unpacking
The following items should be included in the box with your receiver:
1. A copy of this XDS PR04P Quick Start Guide
2. A network data sheet containing RF settings and technical support contact information
3. An optional parts kit from your network
3 Connecting your Receiver
3.1 Satellite RF Connection
Your XDS receiver is preconfigured to tune itself to the settings specified in the attached
Network Configuration Data Sheet. Once the RF connection from your downlink is
properly connected and you apply AC power, the receiver should automatically tune and
lock to the network carrier

3.1.1 Cabling
When connecting your receiver we recommend using the included cable and
splitter or something of equivalent rating. If you are using preexisting splitters
and wiring, please make sure the cables are RG-6 and that the splitter is rated
for L-Band frequencies (950-2150 MHz). Use of lower rated equipment can
result in roll off and significantly degraded signal quality.
3.1.2 LNB Voltage
Your receiver was shipped from the factory with the LNB voltage disabled by
default. If you need the receiver to drive the LNB on your dish, you can enable it
after you have powered it up from the Network Setup section of the front panel.
Please see Appendix A for details.
3.2 Internet Connection
The XDS PRO4P receiver requires a broadband connection that is always on. The
broadband connection is used by the network to remotely troubleshoot, send content to
the internal storage, send commercial playback schedules, retrieve as-played logs of
commercial insertions, and stream live audio to the receiver.
3.2.1 Connecting the Receiver to your LAN
If you elect to place the receiver on your local network inside of your firewall,
you will connect a patch cable from your internal switch or router to the port
labeled LAN-1. The receiver is set by default to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
If your network does not have a DHCP server, you will need to assign it a static
address through the front panel. Please see section 4.2.2 for details on
manually assigning IP addresses.
3.2.2 Connecting the Receiver to the WAN
If you would like your receiver to access the internet directly through a DMZ
connection or outside of your firewall, you will connect a patch cable to the port
labeled LAN-2 on the back of the receiver. To assign a static IP address to the
WAN, please see section 4.2.2.

The analog audio outputs of the PRO4P receiver is routed through the DB-9 connector
labeled Audio-A through Audio-D on the rear panel. The table below details the wiring
pin out for the ports:
(*) - These additional output pins are provided for StarGuide receiver
compatibility.
Your receiver will be delivered with a parts kit that will include four mating DB-9
connectors with shells. Please see the XDSPRO4P User’s Guide for detailed
specifications on the audio output.
3.4 Relay Closures
The receiver has two DB-37 connectors labeled Relay-A and Relay-B on the rear panel.
These connectors contain sixteen relay/contact closures that can drive external
automation systems. The tables below detail the pin out for the ports:

If your automation system can read text cues directly, the cue serial stream is available
from pins 15 and 10. The NC TxData pin is RS-232 data with no flow control or
handshaking. By default, the baud rate is set to 9600 bps, eight data bits, no parity, and
one stop bit.
The parts kit included with your receiver will include two mating DB-37 connectors with
shells. Full electrical specifications for the relay closures can be found in the XDS PRO4P
User’s Guide.
4 Verification of Functionality
Once all of the connections have been made, you may connect AC power to the receiver and begin
verification of the receiver functionality.
4.1 Verify the receiver is tuned and locked to the network carrier
Once the satellite is properly connected and the receiver is powered up the receiver is
configured from the factory to tune and lock to your network’s carrier. Please verify as
follows:
