The XDS PRO4P receiver requires a broadband connection that is always on. The
broadband connection is used by the network to remotely troubleshoot, send content to
the internal storage, send commercial playback schedules, retrieve as-played logs of
commercial insertions, and stream live audio to the receiver.

When connecting your receiver we recommend using the included cable and
splitter or something of equivalent rating. If you are using preexisting splitters
and wiring, please make sure the cables are RG-6 and that the splitter is rated
for L-Band frequencies (950-2150 MHz). Use of lower rated equipment can
result in roll off and significantly degraded signal quality.
Your receiver was shipped from the factory with the LNB voltage disabled by
default. If you need the receiver to drive the LNB on your dish, you can enable it
after you have powered it up from the Network Setup section of the front panel.
Please see Appendix A for details.
If you elect to place the receiver on your local network inside of your firewall,
you will connect a patch cable from your internal switch or router to the port
labeled LAN-1. The receiver is set by default to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
If your network does not have a DHCP server, you will need to assign it a static
address through the front panel. Please see section 4.2.2 for details on
manually assigning IP addresses.
If you would like your receiver to access the internet directly through a DMZ
connection or outside of your firewall, you will connect a patch cable to the port
labeled LAN-2 on the back of the receiver. To assign a static IP address to the
WAN, please see section 4.2.2.
