Comments
1
Ensure that the L-band feed into the
equipment rack has two open ports
If you need more ports, install an additional L-band splitter into
your RF distribution system. Of course, choose the least disruptive
time for a service interruption. See "Step 3, Prepare RF
System" in the Installation and Configuration section for more
detail.
2
Install two receivers (SFX 4104 ProAudio)
into the rack.
Log on to the ContentDepot portal to review
your V2 Equipment listing to determine your
receivers' proper decoder lineup based on
serial numbers. The V2 listing is located in
your customer Profile under the Delivery tab.
Save the cartons and packing materials in
case you ever need to send a unit back to
the Satellite Depot for repair.
Ensure that you have at least one rack space above and below
each unit, and sufficient AC power nearby. See the Planning and
Engineering section for information about installing both devices.
3
Connect the L-band feed to both receivers
The L-band feed goes to the center RF inlet on each receiver. The
center inlet feeds signal to both tuners in the receiver.
4
Power up the receivers
Wait until the green “control” LED lights
5
Enable LNB bias Power Supply
Using the front panel navigate to L-Band 2 – Press Green Check
key(enter) – Now press down arrow to 2
nd
LNB and press Green
enter key again – At Power Supply Enable/Disable screen confirm
Power Supply is Enabled. If disabled, Press enter key then up/dn
arrow to change selection to Enabled then enter again to accept
new setting.
6
Allow the receivers to run for 24 hours
You need to let your receiver run for 24 hours so that the unique
identifier associating the receiver with your station and any
software updates for your receiver are sent daily.
7
As required, configure the Ethernet ports on
the receivers to work with your existing
production Local Area Network (LAN).
To configure the IP addresses of your
receiver, use the front-panel controls. See
“Controlling the Receiver with the Front
Panel LCD Display/Keypad Interface” in the
IDC SFX Pro Audio Series Satellite Receiver
Addendum
delivered with the receiver.
The username and password required to configure the receivers is
the same as in your existing SFX 2100R file receivers.
The pre-configured network settings for the receiver are as follows:
Eth0 (NET 1) IP address: 192.168.29.52
Eth1 (NET 2) IP address: 192.168.1.102
Workgroup = ContentDepot
Alternatively, connect the storage receiver (port NET 2) and an
Ethernet-ready local workstation on the 192.168.1.1/24 network.
Then, navigate to http://192.168.1.102 using a web browser. Note
this IP address is different from the generic address in your
existing SFX2100R storage receiver. It was changed to avoid
conflicts at sites that use the generic addresses.
The receiver’s start page displays automatically as the receiver
boots.
8
Connect the NET 1 interface of the storage
receiver to the same LAN segment as the
automation workstation(s).
This is nominal. You may use NET 2 if your local network
architecture requires it.
9
If you are using an existing automation
system, map the appropriate storage
receiver drive as a network drive.
If your automation/playback system works with the current
ContentDepot storage receivers, it should work exactly the same
way with your new ProAudio receivers.
The portal should already have subscription information for your
receivers. Contact your station’s local ContentDepot administrator
if you require a login.
