Section 2 Installation & Setup
eCDi ™
2.4.7 PowerCD™ Digital UHF Transmitter
The “Display Unit” in the PowerCD transmitter is actually a modified eCDi™ which
has a local touchscreen interface attached to its front panel.
For information about operating the local touchscreen interface see the “PowerCD
Transmitter Operators Manual” 888-2475-001.
The eCDi™ (aka the PowerCD Display Unit) comes pre-installed and configured in the
powerCD. However, you will still need to go through the configuration screens to
customize the unit for your site. This includes making sure the time and date are correct,
adding users and setting passwords, setting Email alert addresses, fault log filters etc...
If you are going to use an SNMP Network Manager program like Recon™ or the Harris
Broadcast Manager, you will want to pay close attention to the SNMP configuration
screens.
See "2.8 eCDi™ Configuration" on page 2-26 to check and set your configuration. It is
important that you check the information in all of the configuration screens to see if it
applies to your site.
It is also important to note that the PowerCD transmitter uses one eCDi™ in the Driver
cabinet and one in each PA Cabinet. A router, with a 4 port switch, is installed in the
Driver cabinet and is factory configured to provide access to all of the eCDi’s in the
transmitter using a single internet IP address (using port forwarding). While each
eCDi™ could actually be placed directly on a network with its own IP address, the
router also provides a firewall at the transmitter site to protect the transmitter. For more
information on setting up the router, see the “PowerCD Transmitter Operators Manual”
888-2475-001.
