PCS150R Rack Installation (also see page 9) To install the PCS150R in a rack: • Carefully slide the PCS150R into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. • When mounted in the rack, make sure appro- priate hardware is used. ALL FOUR MOUNT- ING SCREWS MUST BE USED. • This equipment is not designed to support other devices. Do NOT stack other equipment on the top of the PCS150R. • Rear cabling must be dressed and supported so that the weight of the cabling is not a strain on the PCS150R connectors. • MOUNTING OF THE EQUIPMENT IN THE RACK SHOULD BE SUCH THAT A HAZARD- OUS CONDITION IS NOT ACHIEVED DUE TO UNEVEN MECHANICAL LOADING. Rack-mount Considerations A. Elevated Operating Ambient If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient tempera- ture of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maxi- mum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer (see Specifications information in this document). (Continued on next page) 206-4191 13 Troubleshooting / Specifications Specifications Dimensions Height: 1.692 inches (42.977 mm) Width: 19.0 inches (482.6 mm) (for EIA standard 19-inch rack mount) Depth: 8.5 inches (215.9 mm) Weight: 3.45 pounds (1.56 kgrms) rack-only weight Environmental Storage Conditions Temperature: -20° to 70° Celsius -4° to 158° Fahrenheit Humidity: 95% non-condensing Environmental Operating Conditions Temperature (Tma): 0° to 40° Celsius 32° to 104° Fahrenheit Humidity: 95% non-condensing Electrical DC Input: +12V DC @ 4.0 Amps Impedance at ASI Out jack: 75 ohms Level at ASI Out jack: 800 mv Ethernet: 10/100/1000BaseT Note: Design and specifi cations subject to change without prior notice. Troubleshooting If the PCS150R is not connecting to the network, i.e., the Eth0 IP field in the System Information display (see setup procedure on previous page) is blank: 1. Check the ETHERNET-0 connector on the rear panel of the PCS150R. Make sure the cable connection is tight and secure. 2. Observe the green LED on the ETHERNET-0 port. Once the PCS150R is connected to the network, the LED will be lit continuously. 3. Contact the network administrator to verify the network status.

6. Plug the AC power cord into a powered AC line receptacle. When power is applied, the Status LED on the PCS150R front panel will light, and you will see boot-up messages on the PC. When the boot-up is complete, a System Information display identifi es important infor- mation about the PCS150R, including the unit serial number, hardware ID (fi rmware version), software versions, MAC addresses, and IP addresses, for example: PCS150R Pro:Centric Server v4.5 SN: 001-12410005 Hardware ID: 1.1.0.1 OS version: Linux 2.6.38-zenith+ OS release: #204 Mon May 2 17:21:54 CDT 2011 Eth0 MAC: 00:0C:63:3B:00:55 Eth0 IP: 192.168.10.77 Eth1 MAC: 00:0C:63:3B:00:65 Eth1 IP: n/a VPN IP: n/a RF config: Mode 3, QAM-B, RF: 6 MHz, 5.36 MSps, ASI: 38.81 Mbps RF channel: 69 Local time: Wed May 18 16:08:12 CDT 2011 7. Check the Eth0 IP fi eld in the display. By default, the PCS150R uses DHCP; thus, the DHCP server assigns an IP address to the PCS150R once the PCS150R success- fully connects to the network. If the Eth0 IP fi eld shows an IP address, the PCS150R is up and running on the network. If the Eth0 IP fi eld is blank, refer to Troubleshooting information on page 13. 8. Make the appropriate connection to the RF distribution system: • 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 PCS150R 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. Caution: 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. 9. Configure the ASI or RF output parameters in the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric™ Server Admin Client User Guide for further information. Note: By default, the server output is enabled for QAM-B modulation (RF output).
