4.

 

Verify that the 9-Pin Serial and 15-Pin VGA connectors on the touch screen display cables are 
connected to the Encompass Display Engine. 
 

5.

 

Confirm that the Ethernet cross-over cable connects the Encompass Display Engine to the Encompass 
CM via the RJ-45 jacks on the rear of each. 

  

6.

 

Mount an equipment shelf to the NextBox back panel above the Encompass CM and Encompass 
Display Engine. 
 

7.

 

Place the amplifier on the equipment shelf.  The amplifier power cord should be plugged into the 

power strip on the NextBox floor.   
 

8.

 

Use a standard RCA-type audio cable to connect Output 1 on the rear of the Encompass CM to the 
amplifier.   
 

If the installation requires an ENCOMPASS CM3, rather than an ENCOMPASS CM1, perform steps 9 & 10, 
below.  Otherwise, skip to step 11. 
 

9.

 

If the installation includes an ENCOMPASS CM3, rather than an ENCOMPASS CM1, attach the RF 
connector on the rear panel of the ENCOMPASS CM3 to the connector on the rear of the NextBox 

using a standard coaxial patch cable. 
 

10.

 

Run RG6 coaxial cable from the rear panel of the NextBox to the LNB on the .84M antenna.  The 
antenna should be aligned to AMC-1, as it would on an Encompass LE install. 

 
11.

 

Apply power to the NextBox using the switch on the left-rear of the NextBox.  The display and lights 

should illuminate immediately.  The Display Engine will begin a startup sequence.  After 
approximately 30 seconds music will begin to play.  Shortly thereafter the display will show song 
selections.  Bubbles will begin to rise in the bubble tubes on the outside chassis after approximately 
10 minutes. 

 

12.

 

Upon startup the Encompass Display Engine will output the following message to the display: Will 
connect to ###.###.###.### in 15 seconds

.  

To set the Encompass CM IP address, use the up 

button to scroll to Net Settings on the Encompass CM LCD display.  Press enter to display the current 
address.  To change the IP address, simultaneously press and hold the up and down buttons for two 
seconds.  A cursor will begin blinking on the first digit of the address.  Use the up and down buttons 

to set each digit to the number displayed in the “Will connect to ###.###.###.### in 15 
seconds” message noted on the Jukebox CRT screen.  If the address has less than three digits in any 
grouping, enter zeros as the missing digits. For example 10.144.28.3 is entered as 
010.144.028.003  Press the enter button to move to the next digit.  Upon completion, press the 
enter button to store the address in the Encompass CM memory.  You will be returned to the main 

menu, displaying Net Settings.
