X-Digital Systems XDS PR04P Quick Start Guide
1 Guidelines
It is very important that you review this guide in its entirety before installing your XDS
PRO4P receiver. Additionally, please make sure you have followed all of the
instructions in this guide before calling support.
Please make all satellite RF, data (LAN/WAN) and audio connections prior to applying AC
power to the XDS receiver
XDS urges stations to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the receiver
from power spikes and brownouts. If you are located in an area susceptible to frequent
lightning storms, please also consider lightning suppressors. Many uninterruptible
power supplies are not rated to provide sufficient protection for lightning strikes.
This receiver will NOT receive network programming until you connect it to the internet
and activate it per the instructions in this document. Your XDS receiver must always be
connected to the internet to ensure proper operation.
Appendix A at the bottom of this document contains a front panel menu map that can
help you navigate through the XDS receiver settings and configuration
2 Unpacking
The following items should be included in the box with your receiver:
1. A copy of this XDS PR04P Quick Start Guide
2. A network data sheet containing RF settings and technical support contact information
3. An optional parts kit from your network
3 Connecting your Receiver
3.1 Satellite RF Connection
Your XDS receiver is preconfigured to tune itself to the settings specified in the attached
Network Configuration Data Sheet. Once the RF connection from your downlink is
properly connected and you apply AC power, the receiver should automatically tune and
lock to the network carrier

4.1.1 Acquiring Lock Quick verification of the tuner status can be done from the front panel of the receiver. If the green LED labeled as Signal is lit, the receiver is locked to a satellite carrier. However, this does not guarantee that the receiver is locked to the correct carrier. - Page 6 the test is successful. You may need to check settings on the receiver or in your network including any switches, routers or firewalls. The receiver will need to be able to communicate on TCP port 80 to the internet. Please see the next section if you need to assign the receiver a static IP address or configure a proxy server.
- Page 7 The Test Channel is intended to check receiver operation; it does NOT indicate that you can receive regular network programming. You must complete all installation and activation steps including a fulltime internet connection to receive program audio. Your PRO4P receiver must ALWAYS be connected to the internet. 4.3.2 Verify Audio Ports Each DB-9 connector carries one radio program stream, either mono or stereo.
