2.2
Safety Precautions
Caution!
The following sections provide a list of general hazards to be
avoided for safe, reliable use of the PRO4 receiver.
2.2.1 Excessive Temperature
The PRO4 receiver has been designed to operate safely and reliably in an ambient
temperature of 0C to 50C. We expect the system to operate without a need for a fan in
air conditioned locations. The fan will be electronically controlled via temperature
sensor. This will allow the unit to operate under less than optimal conditions. However,
once the receiver is located in a closed or rack environment, the ambient temperature may
be greater than room temperature. Please take this into consideration when installing the
receiver, making sure that the ambient temperature around the receiver does not exceed
the temperature range 0C to 50C.

2.2.2 Proper Ventilation
Air vents on the side and rear of the receiver are provided to ensure proper air flow
through the receiver unit. In order to ensure proper operation the PRO4 receiver should
be located such that its ventilation is not impeded. In a rack environment, at least two
inches on the sides and at least 5 inches in the rear should be provided. Proper ventilation
will help ensure the receiver performs both safely and efficiently.
2.2.3 Heat, Humidity, and Dust
In order to avoid unnecessary internal damage, avoid placing the receiver next to external
heat sources such as heaters, direct sunlight, heating ducts, etc. Also avoid locations of
high humidity, dust, and vibration.
2.2.4 Power Cord Cabling
Avoid running the power cord across places of high traffic where it can be crimped or
tripped over. Make sure the cords are securely fastened to both the wall outlet or power
strip, and the back of the receiver. Do not place objects on or leaning against power
cords.
2.2.5 Proper Grounding
When the receiver is installed, make sure that the antenna and coaxial cable are properly
grounded to avoid static build up and voltage spikes which may occur due to lightning or
other types of power surges. Proper earth grounding of the rack system should be
maintained at all times, with special attention paid to any connections which go through
power strips.
Warning!
Make sure all power strips are properly grounded.
2.2.6 Circuit Overloading
The PRO4 receiver can draw up to 0.5 Amps at 120VAC as indicated on the back of the
receiver. When adding the receiver to an already existing rack setup, take care to ensure
the maximum current rating of the circuit is not exceeded.

2.2.7 Foreign Objects
Warning!
Inserting any type of foreign object into the ventilation holes of the
receiver can result in shock or serious injury of the operator.
If a foreign object is inserted into the receiver, immediately power down the receiver and
contact X-Digital Systems technical support. Do not open the receiver, as doing so will
void the receiver’s warranty.
2.3
Physical Installation of the Receiver
The following section will guide you through the physical installation of the PRO4
receiver. The receiver should be installed in a standard 19-inch rack.
2.3.1 Rack Mounting the Receiver
The PRO4 receiver has been specifically designed to fit into a 19-inch rack. There are
four screw holes provided on the front panel to directly mount the receiver in the rack.
All four screws must be in place after installing the receiver.
Caution!
Do not paint mounting ears; it hinders the grounding path from
the receiver to the rack.
2.3.2 Uneven Loading of Rack
When installing the PRO4 receiver into a rack, make sure to place heavier pieces of
equipment on the bottom and lighter pieces on the top.
Caution!
2.4
Connecting the Receiver to a Satellite Dish
This section contains information required for connection your PRO4 receiver to a
satellite hookup.
X-Digital Systems
XDS-PRO4
Uneven loading may cause the rack to be unstable and
hazardous.

R830001-1060 Rev B
Page 10
2.4.1 DC Voltage Requirement
You may need to have the PRO4 receiver supply DC voltage to either an LNB or a block
down-converter (used after an LNA). If this is the case, the user must change the
receiver’s LNB on/off settings using the front panel display. For directions on how to use
the front panel display, see Chapter 4 of this manual. If, however, you have another
receiver that receives the L-Band version of the satellite signal (9500-14500MHz) then
you may use a splitter with DC blocking circuitry to get the signal to the PRO4 receiver.
In this case, set the LNB Voltage setting to off.
2.4.2 Warnings About Shorting DC
Caution!
If the DC Voltage is shorted during installation, transient voltage may damage the
Demodulator. In the case of a short, over-current protection circuitry will shut down the
LNB supply. When this occurs, it is important to disconnect the receiver as soon as
possible. If there is a “dead” short in the cable connecting the receiver to the satellite
dish, the unit will not function properly. Remove the power cord from the rear of the unit
and then check the cable connecting the receiver to the satellite dish to make sure it has
not been damaged and is installed correctly. Finally, reinstall the power cord and proceed
with unit setup.
If the LNB Voltage mode is ON enabled, be careful not to short
the signal. The voltage on this line is approximately +24V DC.

3 QUICK START
This quick start is designed to get your XDS PRO4 receiver up and running as quickly as
possible. Please refer to the full Quick Start Guide packaged with your receiver.
3.1
General Guidelines
Review this guide in its entirety before installing your XDS receiver. Also, follow these
instructions before calling support.
• Make all satellite RF, data (LAN/WAN) and audio connections prior to applying AC
power to the XDS receiver.
• It is strongly recommended to use a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) LNB for your new
XDS receiver. The Local Oscillator (LO) stability of your LNB should not be above
(worse than) 25kHz.
• If this XDS receiver is designated to supply DC power to the LNB at your dish, be
sure to turn on the LNB voltage on the front panel menu AFTER the LNB is
connected (See Satellite RF Connection section 1.2 on page 3).
• Your new XDS receiver is delivered with a parts kit that includes two 6-foot RG-6
cables and an L-band splitter that allows DC power to pass through one port.
• X-Digital Systems urges stations to use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for
the XDS receiver for equipment protection from power spikes or brownouts. Also
consider lightning protection if you are located in an area susceptible to frequent
lightning storms. Surge suppressors do not provide sufficient protection.

4 FRONT PANEL OPERATIONS
The PRO4 Receiver’s Front Panel is equipped with a 128x64 pixel LCD display, four
status LEDs; which indicate power, signal, update, and fault; and eight buttons: 1, 2, 3,
left(), right (), up(), down(), and SET. Using this interface a user may navigate
through the PRO4’s hierarchical menu to view, modify, and save receiver settings. The
four status LEDs serve as a quick reference for the current state of the receiver.
4.1
Status LEDs
There are four status light emitting diodes, each indicating a specific property of the
receiver. The following sections state their significance.
4.1.1 The Power LED
The POWER LED is on when the unit is plugged in and there is no problem with the
internal circuitry.
4.1.2 The Signal LED
The SIGNAL LED is used to indicate when the receiver has locked onto a signal or not.
If the signal LED is a solid green, the receiver is locked. Otherwise, the light will be off.
4.1.3 The Update LED
The UPDATE led indicates a software download/upgrade is in progress. When it is
blinking slowly (once per second), the download is in process. When it blinks fast (3x per
second), an upgrade has been successful and the receiver should be rebooted at a
convenient time (when audio is off air). The update LED will also be blinking if you
haven’t activated your receiver unit with the NMS. See the Quick Start guide in Chapter
3 for activation instructions.
4.1.4 The Fault LED
The FAULT LED has three possible states. A red fault LED indicates that there is an
active fault condition affecting the receiver. A green fault LED indicates that there is no
active fault, but that there is either an active warning or a past fault in the fault history.
An off fault LED indicates that all is well and there are no past faults detected. The
STATUS menu (described below) will give you details as to which faults are active.

4.2
The LCD Display and User Interface
The PRO4 Receiver comes equipped with a 128x64 pixel LCD on its front panel which
allows the user to view, modify, and save receiver settings. The navigation of the PRO4
receiver’s menu hierarchy is simple:
- To cycle through the possible sub-menus, press the or buttons.
- To navigate into the currently selected sub-menu, press the button.
- To navigate back up into a higher level of the menu hierarchy, press the
button.
- Once you have navigated to a menu which allows you to edit settings, use the
and buttons to highlight options, and the set button, to pick an option.
-
The Main Menu Options
When the receiver’s front panel is not being used, the idle screen featuring the X-Digital
Systems 1 logo will be displayed. There are two important statistics displayed on this
front logo screen: EB, energy per bit relative to noise floor, which is a quantitative
measure of signal quality; and AG, automatic gain, which is an indicator of the signal
level. Both of these quantities serve to describe the quality of the satellite signal and
should be used as a guide when positioning the satellite dish. Better signals have better
separation between the data and noise floor, and thus a higher EB. EB range is 0 - 18.
The receiver will fade in and out below 5 dB Eb/No, and loose lock completely at around
3.5 dB. A powerful signal will have a high AG (indicating little amplification is
required) while a weak signal will have a low AG (indicating unit is amplifying signal).
Once the button is pressed, the receiver will navigate into its main menu options.
These options are: STATUS, SETUP, and AUDIO PORTS. Continually pressing (or
) will cycle through these three main menus. Pressing or SET will navigate into
whichever one of these three options happen to be currently selected.

satellite transmissions. It is also equipped with an “internet” only mode in which is can
receive audio data and receiver updates via its Ethernet port. For this feature to be
functional, the receiver must be connected to a network router or directly connected to an
internet connection. This portion of the User’s Guide will offer instruction on setting up
your receiver’s connection to the internet. For all of the below settings, please contact
your local network administrator for proper values.
5.1
Connecting the Cables
The Ethernet port on the back of the receiver accepts non-crossover RJ-45 cables.
Depending on your stations internet connection, you will either connect a RJ-45 cable
directly from a Cable or DSL modem box to the PRO4 receiver, or you will connect the
cable from a network router to the receiver. In either case, ensure that the cable is
squarely connected and that it clicks in when you connect it, so that it can not be removed
without pressing the plastic release button on the end of the cable. Ensure that your
internet connection is functioning before proceeding to the next steps.
5.2
Using DHCP or Static IP Addresses
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP, allows the network administrator to
control the assignment of device IP assignment. If DHCP is on, the receiver will be
assigned an IP address automatically by the network. The implications of this are that the
IP of the receiver may change on a boot-up to boot-up basis. Turning DHCP will ensure
that a static, or non-changing, IP is assigned to the receiver as opposed to a dynamic one
determined at each startup of the receiver. For direction on turning DHCP on or off, refer
to section 4.2.2.1.
5.3
Assigning a TCP/IP Address
The TCP/IP address of the receiver serves as it identification number for the network.
Once the receiver is set up properly on a network, it will host a website which can be
loaded by typing is IP address into any standard web browser. Therefore the ability to
specify a static IP address for the receiver may be useful. To view and modify the IP
address, refer to section 4.2.2.1.

Page 22
5.4
Assigning a Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to determine where the network number in an IP address ends
and the node number in an IP address begins. A node is any device on a network that
needs a unique IP address to communicate (computer, server, router, PRO4 Receiver,
etc.). To set this value for your purposes, refer to section 4.2.2.1.
5.5
Assigning a Default Gateway
A gateway refers to a router or host which grants access to the internet. If you have not
enabled DHCP, you must specify the TCP/IP address of this default gateway. To set this
value, refer to section 4.2.2.1.
5.6
Proxy Server Configuration
If you wish to specify a proxy server for your receiver to route through, this must be done
using the receiver’s command prompt interface. To set this interface up, refer to section
8.1. To modify the proxy server, refer to the E0/E1 PROXY commands in section 8.2.
5.7
DNS Server Configuration
The DNS Server settings must be configured using the command interface. Instructions
for setting this interface up are in section 8.1. A receiver may specify up to three DNS
addresses using the E0/E1 DNS commands described in section 8.2.

7 AFFILIATE WEB INTERFACE
The XDS PRO4 Satellite Receiver is capable of communicating with and being
controlled by an external web application called the Network Management System. The
NMS is capable of many features which greatly simplify the management of a radio
station. Network managers can now automate much of the work that previously had to be
done manually on a station to station basis. Creation of a station schedule must be done
through the NMS. Additionally, a radio station user of the NMS may modify the relay
mappings on the receiver to specify which relays corresponds to which net-cue. The
following sections will instruct you on how to accomplish these tasks.
7.1
Accessing and Logging In
The website hosting your affiliate web page is provided by your broadcaster. Please refer
to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on navigating to this site.
After the page has loaded, type the username, which is your receiver’s serial number
(available on the back panel of your receiver and via the front panel display) and
password, which is given by navigating to the ‘XDS PRO4:Setup:Your Account’
submenu in the receiver’s front panel display (see section 4.2.2 for more details). Once
your correct username and password are typed in, press login.
7.2
Play Scheduling
The NMS is a powerful tool for managing your radio network. From the NMS, it is
possible to create a play schedule for your receiver. To create a station schedule follow
these steps:
• Log into the NMS (see section 7.1).
• On the navigation bar on the top of the page, click “Station Schedules”.
• Once the page loads, you should see a grid of the current station schedule for this
week. If your Affiliate login and password are authorized for multiple stations, there
will be a drop-down menu at the top of the page listing multiple stations, each with
different station schedules to edit. Select the station you wish to edit.
• Once you are viewing the station schedule which you wish to edit, ensure that you
are viewing the week you wish to edit. The week is listed in the upper right above
the schedule grid. If you wish to edit a different week use the arrow links to navigate
forwards or backwards in time.
• Once you are view the correct station schedule and the correct week, you are ready
to modify the schedule. Click the time on the left had side of the grid that you wish
to modify or add a program to.

• If your station is authorized to play any programs, you will now see a drop-down list
of programs which you may add to this station schedule. Select the program and livefeed time that you wish to insert into this time slot and click “Next”.
• If you wish to play the program in its entirety, choose this option and click “Next”. If
you wish to play only part of the program select this option, and then define which
portion of the program you wish to insert by following the instruction. Click “Next”.
• This page allows you to tell the receiver what to do with the feed when it receives it.
Playing the program live will not require use of the receiver’s internal hard drive.
The other two options will store the program for later use. Click “Next” once you
have made your choice.
• On the next page, select the days of the week that you wish to play this program.
Only days which this program is broadcast will be available for selection. If this
program is to be recurring, do not select an end date. Click “Next”.
• Confirm that all of your settings for this program are correct and click “Finish”.
To delete or modify an already existing program on the schedule, click that program’s
name. There is a delete link in the bottom right. You may also click previous to change
any of the program’s settings.
7.3
Changing the Relay Mappings
There are 32 different relays on the PRO4 receiver, and each of these relays can
correspond to a different net-cue for a radio broadcast. You can use the NMS to specify
the relay mapping for the receiver. To do this
• Click Relay Mappings at the top of the page beneath the X-Digital Systems logo.
• Select the correct receiver from the receiver S/N drop-down list.

8 MONITOR AND CONTROL INTERFACE
The PRO4 Receiver is equipped with multiple methods for viewing and changing
receiver settings. The M&C Console Port on the back of the receiver can be used for this
purpose.
8.1
Setting up a Console Connection
To set up a console interface from your computer to the receiver:
• Connect a standard serial cable from the serial port on your computer to the port
labeled “Console” on the back of the receiver.
• Open HyperTerminal from the Start Menu: Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Communication > HyperTerminal.
• In the Connection Description dialog, enter “XDS PRO4 Console” as the connection
Name, and select a connection Logo. Press “OK”.
• In the Connect To dialog, select “COM1” in the Connect using drop down list.
Note!
If you have connected the serial cable to a different port rather
than COM1, select that port instead.
• In the COM1 Properties dialog, select 115200 in the “Bits per second” drop-down
list, 8 in the “Data bits” drop-down list, “None” in the “Parity” drop down list, 1 in
the “Stop bits” drop-down list, and Hardware in the “Flow control” drop down list.
Press “Apply” and then press “OK”.
You are now ready to communicate with the PRO4 Receiver via the console you have
created. There are a variety of typed commands that the receiver responds to. By default
the console is not logged into the receiver, and as such the console will have a very
limited set of commands to use. Without logging in, the user can only use status
commands and may not change any receiver settings. To log in, use one of these two
accounts:
• user/guest: the user account has a permission to change standard receiver settings
like program ID, monitoring settings, and volume settings.
• tech/ radio: the tech account has full access to every command the receiver has to
offer. Only use the account when trouble-shooting the receiver or performing
technical diagnostics.
To log into either of these use the LOGIN command, detailed below in section 8.2.

Console Commands
Tasks are performed through the console via commands. The syntax for any command is
the name of the command, followed by a comma separated list of one or more option
command arguments. Below is a list of all commands available along what command
arguments are required and what the command does.
The ALARM Command: The ALARM command tells you, and allows you to change,
the current ALARM mask the receiver is using. To see the current ALARM mask
without modifying it, simple type ALARM without an argument following it. To change
the alarm mask, type: ALARM <MASK>, where <MASK> is a hexadecimal digit in the
range [0-FFFFFFFF]. Anything larger than FFFFFFFF will be interpreted as the largest
mask, FFFFFFFF. This command is only available to the tech profile.
The E0 and E1 Commands: The E0 and E1 commands change various settings for the
first and second Ethernet ports respectively. The command followed by any of the below
options will display that parameter if there is no argument given, or change that
parameter to the argument if an argument is given.
