System Setup (Cont.)
(Continued from previous page)
12.(RF output only) Complete OAT100R RF output configuration as follows:
a)If the Command > prompt is on display, type setup and press Enter to access the Setup Menu.
b)Use the Setup Menu “rf” command to configure the RF mode and the RF channels. See “Configure the RF Output” on page 54 for further information.
c)Connect RF OUT on the OAT100R rear panel to the RF distribution center combiner, and balance the RF signal so that the signal level at the TV(s) is between 0 to +7 dBmV.
Caution: For proper system performance, the OAT100R signal level at the TV input (ANTENNA IN) must be between 0 to +7 dBmV. Note that additional equipment (i.e., attenuators) may be required to adjust the signal level.
d)Go to step 14.
13.(IP output only) Complete OAT100R IP output configuration as follows:
a)If the Command > prompt is on display, type setup and press Enter to access the Setup Menu. Then, at the Setup Command > prompt, type ipout and press Enter to access the IP Output Configuration Menu.
b)The IP Output Configuration Menu offers two options for configuring output IP channels:
•To manually configure the output IP channels, use the “set’’ command. You will need to specify a multicast IP address and the multicast port number for each tuner.
•To
Refer to “Configure the IP Output” on pages 56 to 59 for further information on the IP Output Configuration Menu commands.
c)(Optional) Use the IP Output Configuration Menu “ttl” command, as necessary, to set the multicast TTL, i.e., the number of hops allowed before the multicast data is dropped. If a router is being used on the system, the TTL value should be the number of router hops + 1. If a router is not being used, leave the TTL set to 1 (default).
Note: The option to set the TTL is available only with OAT100R version 2.0 or later software.
d)Once you have completed the output IP configuration, make sure to use the IP Output
Configuration Menu “apply” command to confirm and apply the configuration data to the system. Then, at the next IP Output Command > prompt, type exit and press Enter to return to the Setup Menu prompt.
e)Connect a CAT5E or better cable between the Feature Port on the OAT100R rear panel and the institution’s IP distribution network.
f)Continue with step 14.
