9 (Optional) Set the time zone and/or the date and time on the PCS500R.
By default, the PCS500R is synchronized with an NTP server and configured for the US Eastern time zone.
If the PCS500R is connected to the Internet, the NTP client will periodically update the time setting on the
PCS500R. You can set the time zone as required. If the PCS500R is not connected to the Internet, you also
have the option to specify date and time data manually.
Use the PCS500R “tz” and/or “time” commands (available from the
prompt) and follow the
system prompts to set the time zone and/or date and time on the PCS500R, as necessary. See “Set the Time
Zone” on pages 33 and/or “Set the Date and Time” on pages 34 for further information.
Note
: If you changed the time zone, you will be prompted to reset the system. Continue with step 10.

If you made any configuration changes in steps 8 or 9, reset the PCS500R: At the
prompt, type
and press
.
The reset process may take several minutes, after which the PCS500R resumes normal operation.
11 Make the appropriate connection to the RF distribution system or IP distribution network depending on the
PCS500R output option to be used.
•
RF output: Connect RF OUT on the PCS500R to the RF distribution centre combiner, and balance the RF signal
so that the Pro:Centric signal level at the TV(s) is between 0 to +7 dBmV.
•
IP output: Connect a CAT5E or better Ethernet cable between the Feature Port on the PCS500R rear panel and
the institution’s IP distribution network.
Caution (RF Output only): For proper system performance, the Pro:Centric signal level at the TV input
(ANTENNA IN) must be between 0 to +7 dBmV. Note that additional equipment may be required to
adjust the signal level.
Caution: When not in use, the RF TAP (0 dBmV) connector must remain terminated with attached
terminator accessory.
The remainder of the system setup—configuration of RF or IP output parameters, video playout settings,
Pro:Centric Channel Map, etc.—is performed in the Admin Client that is appropriate for your system (based on
your selection in step 6 of the procedure above). Refer to either the
Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User
Guide
(Java application) or the
Pro:Centric Direct Admin Client User Guide
(HTML application), as applicable,
for further information.
Note
:
By default, the server output is enabled for 256-QAM-B modulation (RF output), with the data channel
set to 75.
