Typical System Installation
(see also Typical Setup Flow Charts and VPN Network Connections Overview diagrams)
1. If your system is using ASI output, make the following two connections; otherwise, go to
step 2.
• Connect a 75 ohm BNC-to-BNC coaxial cable between ASI OUT on the PCS150R and
ASI IN on the modulator.
• Connect an RF coaxial cable between IF OUT on the modulator and IF IN on the upconverter.
Note: The BNC cable must be less than 30 feet (9.2 meters) in length.
2. To enable remote management, connect one end of a CAT5 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the
ETHERNET-0 port on the PCS150R rear panel, and connect the other end of the cable to the
institution’s network.
3. Connect the PCS150R power supply to the POWER connector on the PCS150R rear panel.
4. Use the straight-through serial cable and, if necessary, the USB adapter to connect a PC to
the RS-232 port on the PCS150R rear panel. (This step will enable you to verify the network
connection once power is applied in step 6.)
5. Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation program on the PC, configure the
serial port as follows: Bits per second = 115200; Data bits = 8; Parity = None; Stop bits = 1;
Flow Control = None
6. Plug the AC power cord into a powered AC line receptacle. When power is applied, the
STATUS LED on the PCS150R front panel will light, and you will see boot-up messages on
the PC.
When the boot-up is complete, a System Information display identifies important information
about the PCS150R, including the unit serial number, hardware ID (firmware version), software
versions, MAC addresses, and IP addresses, for example:
