1.2 Hardware Upgradeability
ATX Networks can upgrade its main control software and audio decoder algorithms over-the-air. This ensures that your
receiver will always have the most up to date features and functionality.
1.3 Hardware Versatility
The PRO1R and PRO1S can deliver one channel of audio received via satellite on its single output port while the PRO1S
and PRO4S can deliver up to four channels of audio on any one of its four balanced output ports. Additionally, content can
be received and stored locally for later use. This content can originate from a real time satellite broadcast, from a high speed
satellite IP distribution channel, or can be retrieved via the Internet over the Ethernet port(s).
1.4 Network Management System
The XDS-PRO satellite receivers have been speci cally designed so that their output can be controlled via one central web
application. This application is called the XDS Network Management System, or NMS. From the NMS, the receiver can be
monitored and managed, and the user can set a schedule of live and delayed programs for each output port. The NMS can
also coordinate  le transfers to store sound, data, or hardware updates directly to the PRO receiver’s internal storage device.
Additionally, the NMS also comes equipped with an advanced event logging system ensuring that any technical problems
will be accompanied by a full history so that causes of problems may be easily identi ed and eliminated. Every network may
provide their own NMS interface for their users which in term interface with the XDS Network Management System to provide

2.2 Safety Precautions
Caution! The following sections provide a list of general hazards to be avoided for safe, reliable
use of the PRO receivers.
2.2.1 Excessive Temperature
The XDS-PRO receivers have been designed to operate safely and reliably in an ambient temperature of 0° to 50° C. The
system is expected to operate without the need for a fan in air conditioned locations. The fan will be electronically controlled
via temperature sensor. This will allow the unit to operate under less than optimal conditions. However, once the receiver is
located in a closed or rack environment, the ambient temperature may be greater than room temperature. Please take this into
consideration when installing the receiver, making sure that the ambient temperature around the receiver does not exceed the
temperature range 0° to 50° C.
2.2.2 Proper Ventilation
Air vents on the side and rear of the receiver are provided to ensure proper air  ow through the receiver unit. In order to ensure
proper operation, the XDS-PRO receivers should be located such that its ventilation is not impeded. In a rack environment,
at least two inches on the sides and at least 5 inches in the rear should be provided. Proper ventilation will help ensure the
receiver performs both safely and ef ciently.
2.2.3 Heat, Humidity, and Dust
In order to avoid unnecessary internal damage, avoid placing the receiver next to external heat sources such as heaters, direct
sunlight, heating ducts, etc. Also avoid locations of high humidity, dust, and vibration.
2.2.4 Power Cord Cabling
Avoid running the power cord across places of high traf c where it can be crimped or tripped over. Make sure the cords are
securely fastened to both the wall outlet or power strip, and the back of the receiver. Do not place objects on or leaning against
power cords.

2.2.5 Reliable Earthing
Proper mains earth grounding of the electronic rack system and rack mounted equipment should be maintained. To ensure
proper and reliable grounding of the XDS-PRO Receiver, the electronic rack system shall employ either permanently wired
mains connection or use pluggable equipment type B type wiring in a restricted access location with proper equipotential
bonding applied. The XDS-PRO Receiver includes a rear panel grounding stud for connection to the electronic rack ground
rails.
The XDS-PRO Receiver must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.

Warning! Make sure all rack mounted equipment and the electronic rack system is properly
grounded.
2.2.6 Circuit Overloading
The XDS-PRO receiver can draw up to 1.5 Amps at 120 VAC as indicated on the back of the receiver. When adding the
receiver to an already existing rack setup, take care to ensure the maximum current rating of the circuit is not exceeded.
2.2.7 Foreign Objects
Warning! Inserting any type of foreign object into the ventilation holes of the receiver can result
in shock or serious injury of the operator.
If a foreign object is inserted into the receiver, immediately power down the receiver and contact ATX technical support. Do not
open the receiver, as doing so will void the receiver’s warranty.
2.3 Physical Installation of the Receiver
The following section will guide you through the physical installation of the XDS-PRO receiver.
2.3.1 Rack Mounting the Receiver
The XDS-PRO receiver has been speci cally designed for installation and operation in an EIA standard 19-inch equipment
rack. When mounting it in the rack, use pan or round head screws and  at washers in all four front panel mounting locations.
Caution! Do not paint mounting ears as it hinders the grounding path from the receiver to the rack.
2.3.2 Uneven Loading of Rack
When installing the XDS-PRO receiver in a free standing or unsecured rack, make sure to place heavier pieces of equipment
on the bottom and lighter pieces on the top.
Caution! Uneven loading may cause the rack to be unstable and hazardous.
2.4 Connecting the Receiver to a Satellite Dish
This section contains information required for connecting your XDS-PRO receiver to a satellite downlink.
2.4.1 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
Before attempting to install the XDS-PRO receiver, make sure the antenna and cable system is properly grounded to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3mm) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4mm) aluminum, No.7 AWG (10mm) copper-clad steel or bronze
wire or larger, as ground wire.
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet
(1.83m) apart.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house.
d. A driven rod may be used as the grounding electrode where other types of electrode systems do not exist. Refer to
CHAPTER 2:

XDS-PRO (PRO1R, PRO4R & PRO1S, PRO4S) Satellite Receivers - User Guide Rev. A R830001-2106 2-3

ATX Con dential & Proprietary
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1984 for information.
e. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm) copper or equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding
electrode is used.
NOTE TO THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
THIS REMINDER IS PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER’S ATTENTION TO ARTICLE 820-22
OF THE NEC THAT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR PROPER GROUNDING AND, IN PARTICULAR, SPECIFIES
THAT THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS CLOSE
TO THE POINT OF CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL
2.4.2 DC Voltage Requirement
You may need to have the receiver supply DC voltage to either an LNB or a block down-converter (used after an LNA).
The user must change the receiver’s LNB ON/OFF settings using the front panel display. For directions on how to use the
front panel display, see Section 3.2 of this manual. The user can also change the receivers LNB ON/OFF settings using the
Receiver Web Interface, described in Section 4, or remote Monitor and Control Interface, described in Section 6.
In installations where another receiver receives the L-Band (950-2150MHz) signal directly from the satellite dish, then you may
use a splitter with DC blocking circuitry to get the signal to the XDS-PRO receiver. In this case, set the LNB Voltage setting
to OFF.
2.4.3 Warnings about Shorting DC
Caution! If the LNB Voltage mode is enabled, be careful not to short the signal. The voltage on
this line is approximately +18V DC.
If the DC Voltage is shorted during installation, transient voltage may damage the Demodulator. In the case of a short, over-
current protection circuitry will shut down the LNB supply. When this occurs, it is important to disconnect the receiver as soon
as possible. If there is a “dead” short in the cable connecting the receiver to the satellite dish, the unit will not function properly.
Remove the power cord from the rear of the unit and then check the cable connecting the receiver to the satellite dish to make
sure it has not been damaged and is installed correctly. Finally, reinstall the power cord and proceed with unit setup.
2.5 Connecting to the Ethernet Network
The XDS-PRO receivers are speci cally designed to receive audio broadcasts via satellite transmissions. It is also equipped
with an “internet” only mode in which it can receive audio data and receiver updates via its Ethernet port (see Section 2.5.8
for further details.) For this feature to be functional, the receiver must be connected to a network router or directly connected
to an internet connection. This portion of the User’s Guide will also provide instructions on setting up your receiver to connect
to the internet. If you are unsure about any of the values required below, please contact your local network administrator for
assistance.

2-4 XDS-PRO (PRO1R, PRO4R & PRO1S, PRO4S) Satellite Receivers - User Guide Rev. A R830001-2106
GETTING STARTED
ATX Condential & Proprietary
2.5.1 Connecting the Cables
The Ethernet port on the back of the receiver accepts non-crossover RJ-45 cables. Depending on your stations internet
connection, you will either connect a RJ-45 cable directly from a Cable to the XDS-PRO receiver, or you will connect the cable
from a network router to the receiver. In either case, ensure that the cable is properly aligned and that it clicks in when you
connect it, so that it cannot be removed without pressing the plastic release button on the end of the cable. Ensure that your
internet connection is functioning before proceeding to the next steps.
2.5.2 Using DHCP or Static IP Addresses
Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol, or DHCP, allows the network administrator to control the assignment of device IP
address assignment. If DHCP is on, the receiver will be assigned an IP address automatically by the network. The implications
of this are that the IP of the receiver may change each time the receiver is rebooted. Turning DHCP off will ensure that a static,
or non-changing, IP is assigned to the receiver as opposed to a dynamic one determined at each startup of the receiver. For
direction on turning DHCP on or off, refer to section 3.2.2.1.
2.5.3 Assigning a TCP/IP Address
The TCP/IP address of the receiver serves as its identication number on the local network. Once the receiver is set up
properly on a network, it will host a website which can be loaded by typing its IP address into any standard web browser.
Therefore, the ability to specify a static IP address for the receiver could be desired. To view and modify the IP address, refer
to section 3.2.2.1.
2.5.4 Assigning a Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to determine where the network number in an IP address ends and the node number in an IP address
begins. A node is any device on a network that needs a unique IP address to communicate (computer, server, router, XDS-
PRO Receiver, etc.). To set this value for your purposes, refer to section 3.2.2.1.
2.5.5 Assigning a Default Gateway
A gateway refers to a router or host which grants access to the internet. If you have not enabled DHCP, you must specify the
TCP/IP address of this default gateway. To set this value, refer to section 3.2.2.1.
2.5.6 Proxy Server Conguration
A proxy server can be congured through the front panel as detailed in section 3.3.3.1 or through the command line interface.
To modify the proxy server through the command line, refer to the E0/E1 PROXY commands in section 6.2.
2.5.7 DNS Server Conguration
The DNS Server settings must be congured using the front panel as shown in Section 3.2.2.1 or through the command line
interface. A receiver may specify up to four DNS addresses using the E0/E1 DNS commands described in Section 6.2.
2.5.8 Setting Up “IP Only Mode”
If it is desired to run the XDS-PRO receiver in IP Only Mode (i.e. – no RF used), it can be enabled in two ways:
1. (for XDS-PRO receivers with a Front Panel) – Navigate to the IP Only Mode section on the Front Panel (see Figure
1), and select “Enabled”.
2. Using the TUNER command (see Section 6.2), DISABLE (all) tuners to automatically enable IP Only mode.
Note: These are only how to get the receiver itself in IP Only Mode. It takes much more work to
get the entire system running in that mode, and is beyond the scope of this manual.
2.6 Connecting the Audio Ports
Your XDS-PRO receiver can output both analog and digital audio depending on its conguration. Networks will generally
assign stations statically to an individual port or port congurations can be modied through the Afliate Website.
2.6.1 Analog Audio Ports
The four ports on the back of the PRO4R and PRO4S receivers labeled Audio A, Audio B, Audio C, and Audio D output analog
audio. For information on the pin-out of these ports, please see Section 8.1.4. For the PRO1R and PRO1S, the audio port
labeled Audio A also outputs analog. For information on the pin-out of these ports, see Section 8.1.4.
2.6.2 Digital Audio Port
The PRO4R, PRO1R, PRO4S, and PRO1S each has a port on the back of the receiver labeled AES/EBU, which outputs digital
versions of the audio output from analog audio ports Audio A-D. Refer to Section 8.1.7 for connector pin-out information. The

ATX Condential & Proprietary
PRO1Q receiver does not provide digital audio output.
2.7 Connecting the Relay Ports
The PRO4R and PRO4S receivers are equipped with two RS-232 ports, labeled Relay A and Relay B, each of which are
capable of receiving cue signals from the Network signal and ring relay closures. The PRO1R and PRO1S receivers are
equipped with one RS-232 port, labeled Relay A, with the same capabilities.
2.7.1 Physical Ports
Each of the RS-232 ports on the back of the PRO4R and PRO4S receiver have 32 relay closures that can be mapped. The
relay mappings can be modied, viewed and toggled through the Afliate Website (Section 5), toggled only through the front
panel (Section 3.3.4) or viewed through the receiver website (Section 4). For pin-out information on the RS-232 ports, see
Section 8.1.2.
The RS-232 port on the back of the PRO1R and PRO1S have 16 relay closures that can be mapped. The relay mappings can
be modied, viewed or toggled through the Afliate Website (Section 5) or viewed through the receiver website (Section 4).
For pin-out information on the RS-232 ports please see Section 8.1.2.
2.7.2 Cues
The XDS-PRO receivers are capable of ring multiple types of relays:
• Associated cues will re when the associated program is playing. In addition, these cues will be recorded for delayed
playback.
• Non-associated cues will re if they are mapped to a relay regardless of what program is playing.
• All cues will be outputted through an RS-232 Tx pin on the receiver’s relay port to be used by downstream systems.
2.8 Connecting the Program Associated Data (PAD) Port
The XDS-PRO receivers are capable of receiving and displaying PAD in two different ways. Your Network will provide baud
rate settings for the PAD. PAD settings for the receiver can be congured through the front panel (Section 3.3.4), or the M&C
(Section 6.2). PAD data is output through the port labeled PAD on the back of the receiver. Please see Section 8.1.8 for
information on the PAD port pin-out. The XDS-PRO receivers also have the capability to output the PAD data via IP UPD using
the PAD IPROUT command through the console port.
2.8.1 In-Band Ancillary Data
In-band ancillary data is raw asynchronous data embedded within the streaming audio on the same program PID as the audio.
It is fed into the RS232 port of the encoder port and thereby associated with a single audio stream. MP2 natively supports
ancillary data. AAC will be carrying ancillary data in a proprietary enhancement to the framing protocol (this enhancement will
be compatible with all AAC decoders).
2.8.2 Out-of-Band Ancillary Data
Out-of-band ancillary data is raw asynchronous data associated with a single audio stream but carried outside of the MP2 or
AAC data frame. It is fed into the RS232 port of the encoder port and thereby associated with a single audio stream. This data
may be embedded within the MPEG2 transport framing structure (TSP) of a single audio stream.

3. Front Panel Operations
All XDS-PRO receivers provide four status LEDs which indicate power, signal, update, and fault. These four status LEDs
serve as a quick reference for the current state of the receiver.
The XDS_PRO is also equipped with: A 128x64 pixel LCD display; Eight buttons: 1, 2, 3, left (◄), right (►), up (▲), down (▼),
and SET; A monitor speaker; A headphone port; And a USB connector. Using the buttons and LCD panel, a user may navigate
through the hierarchical menu to view, modify, and save receiver settings.
3.1 Status LEDs
There are four status light emitting diodes, each indicating a specic property of the receiver. The following sections state their
signicance.
3.1.1 Power LED
The POWER LED is on when the unit is plugged in and there is no problem with the internal circuitry.
3.1.2 Signal LED
The SIGNAL LED is used to indicate when the receiver has locked onto a signal or not. If the signal LED is a solid green, the
receiver is locked. Otherwise, the light will be off.
3.1.3 Update LED
The UPDATE led indicates a software download/upgrade is in progress. When it is blinking slowly (once per second), the
download is in process. When it blinks fast (3x per second), an upgrade has been successful and the receiver should be
rebooted at a convenient time (when audio is off air). The update LED will also be blinking if you haven’t activated your receiver
unit with the NMS. See the Quick Start guide for activation instructions.
3.1.4 Fault LED
The FAULT LED has three possible states.
• A red Fault LED indicates that there is an active fault condition affecting the receiver;
• A green Fault LED indicates that there is no active fault, but that there is either an active warning or a past fault in
the fault history;
• A Fault LED that is off indicates that there are no current or past faults.
3.2 LCD Display and User Interface
The XDS-PRO receivers are equipped with a 128x64 pixel LCD on its front panel which allows the user to view, modify, and
save receiver settings. To navigate:
• To cycle through the possible sub-menus, press the ◄ or ► buttons.
• To navigate into the currently selected sub-menu, press the ▼ button.
• To navigate back up into a higher level of the menu hierarchy, press the ▲ button.
• Once you have navigated to a menu which allows you to edit settings, use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to highlight options,
and the Set button to select an option.

3.3.1 Main Menu Options
Note: For all of the following subsections, please refer to the Front Panel Flow as shown in Figure
1 - PRO Receiver Front Panel Flow.
When the receiver’s front panel is not being used, the idle screen featuring the company1logo will be displayed. There are
two important statistics displayed on this front logo screen: EB, energy per bit relative to noise oor, which is a quantitative
measure of signal quality; and AG, automatic gain, which is an indicator of the signal level. Both of these quantities serve to
describe the quality of the satellite signal and should be used as a guide when positioning the satellite dish. Better signals
have better separation between the data and noise oor, and thus a higher EB. EB range is 0 - 15. Levels above 15 will be
displayed as “>15”. The receiver will fade in and out below 5 dB Eb/N0, and lose lock completely at around 3.5 dB. A powerful
signal will have a high AG (indicating little amplication is required) while a weak signal will have a low AG (indicating unit is
amplifying signal).
Once the ▼ button is pressed, the receiver will navigate into its main menu options. These options are:
• STATUS
