Quantity Description
1 CMR-6000 [CMR-6000]
1 IEC Power Cable
1 CA-TERMINAL Terminal Cable
1 Quick Start sheet
Installation
The CMR-6000 is designed for ease of installation and configuration. Once the unit has been removed
from the packing container, please follow these instructions:
Step Procedure
1 Place the unit on a flat surface with free airflow, where the LEDs can be clearly observed
and with unrestricted access to the rear panel of the unit.
2 Until the unit has been fully configured, the coaxial connection to the Low Noise Block
(LNB) should NOT be connected to the unit. If the unit will not be powering the LNB, it is
recommended that 'Polarity' (on the 'Tuner' configuration page) be set to 'Off'.
3 Connect the power cable to the back of the unit.
4 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (patch cord) to the port labeled ETHERNET and to an
Ethernet concentrator (hub) or switch.
5 Connect a terminal cable P/N CA-TERMINAL (supplied) to the port labeled TERM and to
a PC’s serial port (DB-9), to initially configure the CMR-6000.
6 Connect the AC power cord to a standard wall outlet and the unit.
7 Upon startup, the LEDs on the front panel may illuminate as follows:

Initial Configuration
The initial configuration requires setting up the IP parameters via the terminal cable. Once the IP
parameters have been configured, the terminal cable can be removed. Store the terminal cable in a known
location, because it may be needed in the future. The front panel may also be used for initial configuration
of the IP parameters.

• 1 Stop Bit
• No Parity
• No Flow Control
2 Press the <ENTER> key on the PC – the login prompt should be displayed.

6000’s menu should be displayed.
4 Press “N” for Network Menu.
5 Press “I” for the IP Address, Enter the IP Address and press <ENTER>.
6 Press “M” for the Subnet Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask and press <ENTER>.
7 Press “G” for the Default Gateway IP Address. Enter the Default Gateway Address and press
<ENTER>.
8 Press “S” to save the parameters.

To configure the IP parameters via the front panel:
Step Procedure

2 Select the Config menu option
3 Select the Ethernet menu option
4 Select the IP Address option and enter the IP address (in dotted decimal format ) and
subnet mask (in CIDR format)
5 Select Gateway and enter the IP address of the default gateway
6 Select Link and enter the appropriate speed/duplex setting. Auto is the default and
recommended configuration of the LAN interface
After completing the final step in either of these procedures, the unit has been configured for full IP
operation. The tuner settings may also be configured via the front panel, although additional
configuration and management is best performed using the web interface (refer to Chapter 4, Device
Management via User Interfaces, in the installation and operation manual).
Once fully configured, the coaxial connection to the Low Noise Block (LNB) may be safely attached to
the L-Band input port. Read Section 2.5, Connect External Cables, in the installation and operation
manual for more information about the LNB connection.
