Configuration Options via Command Line (Cont.)

(Continued from previous page)

Select a new RF mode [2]:

2.At the prompt for the RF mode, either:

•Type 1 and press Enter to disable RF output.

•Type 2 and press Enter to enable 256-QAM output.

•Type 3 and press Enter to enable 64-QAM output.

Note: You can simply press Enter if the default shown in square brackets is the correct option for this system.

3.If you selected either of the QAM-B (256-QAM or 64-QAM) options in step 2, the system will prompt next for an RF channel number (i.e., the RF start channel number):

Enter a new RF channel [2]:

At the prompt, either press Enter to accept the default value in square brackets, or type a new RF start channel number and then press Enter.

4.At the Enter number of channels [4]: prompt, either press Enter to accept the default value in square brackets, or type the applicable number of channels (Maximum = 4).

Once you specify the RF setup, the system displays an overview of the settings, for example:

RF config: Mode 2, 256-QAM-B, RF: 6 MHz, 5.36 MSps

RF channels: 7 8 9 10

Scan for RF Channels

This option enables you to select up to two tuners at a time and initiate a scan for all available off air RF channels.

Note: If multiple tuners are connected to one antenna, you do not need to run separate RF scans on each.

Note: If the system is set for RF 64-QAM output, up to four tuners can be used at a time. Make sure the tuners to be scanned have been mapped to streams (see “Configure Tuner/Output Assignments” on page 46); otherwise, the RF scan(s) will not find any channels.

1.At the Setup Command > prompt, type scan and press Enter. The system will prompt for confirmation, for example:

A channel scan takes several minutes to complete.

During that time, the scanning tuner(s) will not stream normally. Do you want to scan for RF channels now? [y/n]:
