STARTED
Please take a
few minutes to read through the User’s Guide prior to setting up and using
the unit. If you are in a hurry, there is a Quick Start section below, but please be sure to
consult this section at your earliest convenience.
2.1
General Guidelines
Review this guide in its entirety before installing your XDS receiver. Please follow these
instructions before calling for support.
x
Make all satellite RF, data (LAN) and audio connections prior to applying AC power
to the XDS receiver.
x
It is strongly recommended to use a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) LNB for your new
XDS receiver. The Local Oscillator (LO) stability of your LNB should not be above
(worse than) 25kHz.
x
If this XDS receiver is designated to supply DC power to the LNB at your dish, be
sure to turn on the LNB voltage on the front panel menu AFTER the LNB is
connected (See Section 2.5).
x
Your new XDS receiver might be delivered with an optional parts kit that includes
two 6-foot RG-6 cables and an L-band splitter that allows DC power to pass through
one port.
x
Please be aware that surge suppressors alone do not provide sufficient protection.
X-Digital Systems urges stations to use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for
the XDS receiver in order to provide protection from power spikes and brownouts.
You may also consider lightning protection if you are located in an area subject to
frequent lightning storms.
x
Your receiver needs to be activated before it is ready for use. This should happen
automatically when you configure the Ethernet settings properly. See section 2.6 and
the Quick Start Guide for information on how to configure the Ethernet.
2.2
Unpacking the Receiver
Upon receiving your PRO1 Receiver, ensure that all of the necessary parts have been
included.
