CoachComm X System WPB2 Game Day Manual

Using Fiber with Wireless Press Box (WPB2)

Use the following steps to set up and connect your press box system to your sideline system via stadium fiber.
1. Make connections as shown below. (These connections should also be made for the sideline system.)

2. Connect AC power, then do the following:
A. Power on the wireless press box unit's Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This will provide necessary power
to Press Box Radio Transceivers (RTs) before they are configured.
Power on the sideline Control Units (CUs) if not already on. Select Home or Away and allow the CCF to load.
B.
This will configure the Press Box RTs.
Power on the press box CUs. Select Home or Away and allow the CCF to load. Do not power these CUs on
C.
before the sideline CUs. These CUs, in combination with dry pair stadium wiring, serve as a backup and will be
on standby.
D. Power on the press box Radio Packs (RPs). Verify that the RPs'
log in and their active pairing is to the sideline CU.
Note: Press box RPs should be paired to both the secondary
(bottom) sideline CU and the primary (top) press box CU.
Tip: RPs with dual pairing can switch the active pairing between
Control Units with this shortcut: Hold down both Function
buttons for 5 seconds.
3. Connect to X-Ware.
A. Power on the press box tablet.
B. Launch the screen-sharing software to remotely access the
sideline PC.
C. Launch the sideline X-Ware (if not already running).
4. Test operation of the press box RPs.
5. CoachComm recommends also connecting, dry-pair testing, nulling, and audio testing your dry-pair RJ-14
connections so they'll be on standby in the event an issue occurs with fiber during the game.
6. You may also connect your wired BeltPacks to the Wired Interface Panel as an additional backup option in the event
that wireless communications are disrupted.
7. After the game, power off and stow away X-System wireless press box components.

then the press box CUs.

to the secondary (bottom) sideline
CU.
