* Note: In order to avoid a service interruption, do not modify any of the other fields in the Edit Connection
screen. In particular, do NOT modify the data in the Profile Name and Device fields.
* Note: The Feature Port IP address MUST be on a different subnet than the Control Port IP address.
e) When you are finished with network configuration for the selected port, select/highlight <OK> at the bottom right of the Edit Connection
screen and press Enter.
f) Repeat steps (c) to (e), as required, to complete configuration for the second port.
g) When you are finished with port configuration, select/highlight <Quit> at the bottom right of the port selection screen and press Enter to
return to the Network Manager menu. To exit the Network Manager and return to the Command > prompt, select Quit and press Enter.
* Note: Review the configuration data for each port carefully before you confirm the settings. Ensure each of the addresses was entered cor-
rectly.
* Note : You may also edit the host name from the Network Manager menu, if desired. See "Modify the Server Host Name" on pages 27 to
28 for further information. Avoid using spaces or special characters, such as ?, -, etc., in the host name.
10 (Optional) Set the time zone and/or the date and time on the PCS400R.
By default, the PCS400R is synchronized with an NTP server and configured for the US Eastern time zone. If the PCS400R is connected to the
Internet, the NTP client will periodically update the time setting on the PCS400R. You can set the time zone as required. If the PCS400R is not
connected to the Internet, you also have the option to specify date and time data manually.
Use the PCS400R "tz" and/or "time" commands (available from the Command > prompt) and follow the system prompts to set the time
zone and/or date and time on the PCS400R, as necessary. See "Set the Time Zone" on page 29 and/or "Set the Date and Time" on page 30 for
further information.
* Note : If you changed the time zone, you will be prompted to reset the system. Continue with step 11.
11 If you made any configuration changes in steps 9 or 10, reset the PCS400R: At the Command > prompt, type reset and press Enter.
The reset process may take several minutes, after which the PCS400R resumes normal operation.
12 Make the appropriate connection to the RF distribution system or IP distribution network depending on the PCS400R output option to be used:
•  ASI output: Connect the RF output on the upconverter to the RF distribution center combiner, and balance the RF signal so that the Pro:Centric
signal level at the TV(s) is between 0 to +7 dBmV.
•  RF output: Connect RF OUT on the PCS400R to the RF distribution center combiner, and balance the RF signal so that the Pro:Centric signal level
at the TV(s) is between 0 to +7 dBmV.
•  IP output: Connect a CAT5E or better Ethernet cable between the Feature Port on the PCS400R rear panel and the institution's IP distribution
network.
•  Caution: (ASI/RF Output only) For proper system performance, the Pro:Centric signal level at the TV input
(ANTENNA IN) must be between 0 to +7 dBmV. Note that additional equipment may be required to adjust the
signal level.
•  Caution: When not in use, the RF TAP (0 dBmV) connector must remain terminated with attached terminator
accessory.
The remainder of the system setup—configuration of ASI, RF, or IP output parameters, video playout settings, Pro:Centric Channel Map, etc.—is
performed in the Admin Client that is appropriate for your system (based on your selection in step 7 of the procedure above). Refer to either the
Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide (Java application) or the Pro:Centric Direct Admin Client User Guide (HTML application), as
applicable, for further information.
* Note : By default, the server output is enabled for 256-QAM-B modulation (RF output), with the data channel set to 75.
