Prepare RT mast.
1a. Position the X-System Wireless Trunk and the Monitor
Trunk side by side at mideld.
1b. Connect the trunks using the two mast mounting
plates.
Note: CoachComm recommends connecting the trunks on a
at surface as close to mideld as possible. After
connecting the trunks, they can be rolled to their nal
position.

The procedures in this step are referenced in the gure
below and may require at least two people.
2a. Remove the mast from its storage case and insert it
into the hole of the mounting plates.
2b. Secure the RT mounting bracket to the top of the
mast using the provided pin.
2c. Connect the RT cable to the rst RT on the
bracket.
2d. Attach the cable’s strain relief to the eye bolt on the
mounting bracket.
2e. Align the mast so the RT mounting bracket is parallel
to the sideline, and secure the mast by tightening the
knob on top of the mounting plate.
Note: Be sure not to overtighten the knob. Use just
enough pressure to secure the mast.
2f. Bend the antennas so there is a 90° angle between
the antenna and the RT and point their tips toward the
opposing team’s RT mast.
2g. Fully extend the mast, beginning with the top section
and locking each section in place as you go.

Set Home/Away status.

(4b.) PC LAN port
5a. Follow the prompts on your top (primary) CU to set your
system’s Home/Away status.
Important: No RF transmission will occur until the Home/Away
status is selected. Failure to set this status properly
may result in RF interference.
The Home/Away setting aids customers with hopping
pattern coordination between RTs and Radio Packs.
Based on this setting, all of the RTs on the system will
be assigned specic hopping patterns by the Control
Unit (CU). It is very important to set this status correctly.
Hopping pattern coordination improves operation between
X-Systems.
During startup, the conguration le (CCF) will begin
loading while the Home/Away prompt is displayed on the
top CU. A progress bar shows the load process on the
bottom CU. Once the Home/Away prompt is cleared, the
CCF load progress can be seen on both CUs.
Connect LAN and AC power, then power on the system.
4a. Route the LAN cable and UPS power cable from the Monitor Trunk to the the X-System Wireless Trunk
using the trunks’ rear cable hatches.
4b. Connect the LAN cable to the PC LAN port on the X-System Wireless Trunk’s rear patch panel.
4c. Connect the UPS power cable to the X-System Wireless Trunk’s AC outlet box.
4d. Route an external power extension cord into the X-System Wireless Trunk’s rear cable hatch and
connect it to the main AC power cord from the AC outlet box.
CAUTION: Secure and protect any cords to prevent walkway hazards and potential contact with moisture.
4e. Power on both trunks’ UPS power buttons.

Connect RT cable and dry pair to the patch panel.*
3a. Connect the RT cable to the “X-NET Top RT Set” port on the X-System Wireless Trunk’s rear patch panel.
3b. Connect stadium’s dry pair panel to the corresponding “STADIUM DRY PAIR” ports on the rear patch panel.
(You can nd additional instructions about dry pair connections in the X-System Operating Manual found at
www.coachcomm.com/x-system-support.)
*Fiber connections not shown here. For more information about ber, refer to the Wireless Press Box Game Day Guide or X-System Operating Manual.

(3a.) Connect
RT cable to rear
patch panel.
(3b.) Connect dry
pairs to rear
patch panel.
5b. Wait until the CU(s) display the “CCF Loaded” message along
with a conguration le summary. (The bottom CU will take
about 30 seconds longer than the top.) When the CCF load
is complete, the home screen will display on the front of the
CU(s) and you can proceed.
5c. Open X-Ware on the touch screen monitor and allow its Home
screen to load.

The procedures in this step should be performed with at least two people.
7a. Install a fully charged Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery or three AA alkaline
batteries in each Radio Pack (RP).
7b. Power on the rst two RPs by pressing and holding the Power button on the
back of the RP for 3 seconds.
7c. Conrm each RP is on the same conference, connect a headset to each RP, and
conduct a walk test to conrm their operation. The RP’s LQ value can be used to
gauge performance. See the X-System Operating Manual for more information
about LQ values.
Important: Each tester should walk their RPs to opposite goal lines and back, ensuring
clear communication between all RPs. Always place the RP on the hip
opposite from the press box when walk testing.
7d. After walk testing is complete, place the RP down on a table or bench. Be sure
to place each RP a foot or so apart; bunching RPs together could impact wireless
performance. Repeat steps 7b-7c for each of the remaining RPs.
Important: If raining, cover the RPs or return them to their drawer.
7e. Conrm communication between wireless and wired coaches.
Once your event has ended, power off and properly stow
away all X-System components:
8a. Power off all RPs and stow them in their drawers.
8b. CoachComm recommends saving a backup copy of
your system conguration le to the PC desktop or a
USB drive. Then, close X-Ware and shut down the
PC.
Power on and walk test Radio Packs.

Power off and stow away X-System.
6Set up Press Box Unit and null system.
The procedures in this step should be performed with at least two people.
6a. Once the sideline trunks are congured, set up and connect power to the Press Box Unit. Have someone stay with
the sideline trunks to assist in the verication of dry pairs during this step.
6b. Connect dry pair panel in the Press Box to the corresponding ports on the rear of the WIM in the Press Box Unit.
6c. Connect wired BeltPacks and cables for each coach. Make sure all TALK buttons are off.
6d. Auto-null all of the lines from the sideline using X-Ware’s Conference view (under the System Settings menu). If there
is noticeable echo on some channels of the wireless components, conrm that all TALK buttons are off and repeat the
auto-null step.
(7b.) Turn on by
holding Power button
for 3 seconds.
(7a.) Install battery.
8
8c. Power off the CU(s), then power off both trunks’ UPS
power buttons. Unplug and remove your extension cord,
LAN cable, and UPS power cable.
8d. Carefully lower and disassemble the RT mast and
RT mounting bracket(s),stowing them in their assigned
sections of the accessory case.
8e. Disconnect the mast mounting plates and separate the
two sideline trunks. Close and secure their lids.
Important: Thoroughly dry off any moisture prior to storage.
