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 PCS200R
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 Control Port on the PCS200R rear panel, and connect the other end of the cable
to the institution's network.
3. Connect the PCS200R power supply to the POWER connector on the PCS200R rear
panel. Then, plug the AC power cord into a powered AC line receptacle. When power
is applied, the PWR (Power) LED on the PCS200R front panel will initially flash red
and then turn green (blinking during boot-up).
The boot-up process for the PCS200R may take up to two minutes. When boot-up is
complete, the PWR LED on the PCS200R front panel will light continuously green.
4. Once the PWR LED is lit continuously (no longer blinking), use the FTDI TTL-232R-
5V-AJ cable to connect a PC to the Service Port on the PCS200R rear panel.
5. Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation program on the PC, configure
the serial port as follows: Bits per second/baud = 115200; Data bits = 8; Parity = None;
Stop bits = 1; Flow Control = None
Note: To avoid configuration errors, make sure the keyboard settings on the terminal
emulator assign the backspace character to Ctrl + H (ASCII 8).
Once the connection is established, you should see a login prompt. (If the login prompt
is not automatically displayed, press Enter to refresh the screen.)
login as: prompt, type admin and press Enter. Then, at the password:
6. At the
prompt, type Password4Partners (case-sensitive) and press Enter.
Note: After the system setup is complete, it is highly recommended that
you use the "pwd" command available from the PCS200R Main Menu
to change the admin user password from its default value. Refer to the
extended Installation & Setup Guide for further information.
