Wegener UNITY 4600 Quick Start Manual

1 General Information If equipped with a receiver card, the Unity 4600 receives an L-band RF carrier from an external LNB, demodulates the carrier, and then extracts the MPEG transport stream. If equipped with an ASI transport card, it decodes the ASI line code and extracts the resulting transport stream. In both cases, if conditional access has been applied, the Unity 4600 then descrambles the transport stream (or individual programs) if authorized. It then supplies that stream to the DVB-ASI output (with program mapping, if enabled). It also may decompress a selected program to provide composite video and two stereo-audio outputs. (The compressed audio formats may be MPEG or Dolby AC-3.) This guide provides information for setup and initial operation of the Unity 4600. For a full description of refer to the Unity 4600 User's Reference Manual (p/n 800032-01) available on the worldwide web at www.wegener.com. Unpacking and Inspection The box containing the unit should include: Carefully unpack the items and inspect for obvious signs of physical damage that might have occurred during shipment. Any damage claims must be reported to the carrier immediately. Be sure to check the package contents carefully for important documents and materials. Note: Save the original packing materials and shipping containers in case the unit must be returned for repair. Packing the unit in another container in such a way that the unit is damaged will void the warranty.

2 800032-02 Rev. G www.wegener.com Warnings To avoid damage to this and other equipment, or personal injury, the following items should be strictly observed. Elevated Operating Ambient When equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to the ambient air temperature within the rack, and not just inside the room, when deciding if the maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) is being met. Reduced Air Flow Equipment should be installed such that airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. The Unity 4600 may be arranged in a rack without empty space between units if heat rise is prevented by ensuring its side vents remain unblocked with adequate clearance around the vent holes. Mechanical Loading Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not produced by uneven loading. This unit is not very heavy, but total rack loading must be considered. Also, do not rest any unsupported equipment on your Unity 4600. Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits could have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Ensure that the total rack or breaker power consumption does not exceed the limits of the AC branch circuit. Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used when addressing this concern. Reliable Earthing Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (use of power strips, chassis ground lugs, etc.). Rack Installation When installed in an equipment rack, it is best that the Unity 4600 be supported by angle brackets or cross supports. These should be screwed or bolted securely to the equipment rack, and be capable of supporting the unit and its connecting cables. Do NOT install the unit if you have doubts about the unit being safely supported. There are also four holes in the front brackets which are designed to accept anchoring screws. It is essential that these brackets be used so the unit cannot be moved forward and fall from the rack. It is always best to install the angle brackets or cross-members before setting the unit in place. Then, prior to installing cables, put anchored screws or bolts-and-nuts into place on the front brackets. Failure to do this can lead to pushing the unit out the front of the rack in later steps. WARNING: FCC-Mandated Suppression of Radio Frequency Emissions This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference for which the user may need to take mitigating action. If the Ethernet port has a cable connected to it, that cable must be properly shielded and grounded to minimize RF emissions that could interfere with nearby equipment.

Table 2: Unity 4600 LED Indicators Indicator Color and State Description CARRIER GREEN constant Unit has demod and FEC lock on the RF carrier Off Unit does not have demod and FEC lock on the RF carrier TRANSPORT GREEN constant Unit recognizes a valid transport stream Off Unit does not recognize a valid transport stream COMPEL GREEN constant COMPEL control stream received within last two minutes (including keep-alives) while locked continuously on the current transport stream for >2 minutes GREEN flash Unit has had a verified transport stream for >2 minutes and COMPEL is required but no valid COMPEL GREEN flutter COMPEL has been addressed to unit within last 5 seconds (excluding keep-alives). Off Otherwise. Note that this LED must be OFF when there is no valid Transport stream OR COMPEL SERVICES GREEN constant Unit is processing services for delivery. Off Unit is not processing services. WARNING YELLOW constant One or more warning indications present - usually indicates a problem with the incoming signal, a minor unit fault, a possible impending failure, or that important information is available Off No warning conditions CUE GREEN constant A user cue relay is closed (energized). GREEN flutter During a user relay "pulse" activation on any relay Off All user cue relays are open (de-energized) ALARM RED constant One or more current alarm indications RED blink An alarm event has occurred in the past and has not been acknowledged and cleared by the user. Note that the alarm LED may also blink while on. Off No current alarm condition exists AUTH GREEN constant Unit has transport MPEG sync and the stream is not scrambled (in the clear). Streams that are "clear" are always presumed to be "authorized" -- OR -- Unit is authorized for current scrambled transport stream (or selected program) and has transport MPEG sync. When using Wegener CA ('97 Version), being "authorized" means being addressed with current and valid ciphered keystream messages. In a PIN system, if the transport stream is scrambled, and the unit has been programmed with any key other than the null '00000', then it presumes that it is "authorized". Off Unit has transport sync, the transport stream is scrambled, and the unit is NOT authorized. Also OFF if no transport sync.
