iPUMP 6400 QUICK START GUIDE

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 r and down s arrow buttons to increment the highlighted character or digit. Use the right w and left v 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.

iPUMP 6400 QUICK START GUIDE

4.Next, start your iPump as follows:

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

receptacle (f, 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 6), 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.
