information. Refer to the extended Installation & Setup Guide for additional trouble-

shooting information.

Equipment Setup Review

• Make sure all connectors and connections are tight and secure on all entertainment

system components.

• Check the OAT100R LEDs:

−Under standard operating conditions the PWR (Power) LED on the OAT100R front

panel is continuously lit green. If there is a hardware fault, the PWR LED will turn

and stay red. (When power is ﬁrst applied to the OAT100R, the PWR LED initially

flashes red and then turns green.)

−When the OAT100R is booted and operating normally, the STATUS LED is

continuously lit green.

Network Setup

If the network is configured for DHCP but the OAT100R has not been assigned an IP

address, i.e., the Ctrl IP field in the OAT100R System Information display is blank:

1. Check the Control Port connector on the rear panel of the OAT100R. Make sure the

cable connection is tight and secure.

2. Observe the green LED on the Control Port. Once the OAT100R is connected to

the network, the LED will be lit continuously.

3. Contact the network administrator to verify the network status and check that the

DHCP server is working properly.

Setup Information

This document provides installation and setup support only for the OAT100R. One or

more VHF and/or UHF antennas must be installed before you proceed to set up the

OAT100R. LG recommends that the system be professionally installed.

Check the following items before you begin OAT100R installation and setup procedures.

VHF and/or UHF Antennas

__ Create a station plan for the OAT100R terrestrial input(s).

__ Install the appropriate antenna(s) in accordance with the desired channels. The

VHF and/or UHF antenna(s) must be located where it/they will have unobstructed

access to the terrestrial signals. Amplify the antenna distribution as necessary.

__ Point the antenna(s) so as to achieve the best signal quality (use appropriate

equipment for measurement purposes).

__ Up to eight 75 ohm RG-6 or larger coaxial cables from the terrestrial antenna

distribution system should be available for connection to the OAT100R.

__ Measure the signal level at each of the OAT100R RF inputs. For proper system

performance, the signal level at each RF input must be between +3 dBm (+52 dBmV)

and -83 dBm (-34 dBmV). A nominal value of -53 dBm (-4 dBmV) is recommended.

Note that additional equipment (i.e., attenuators) may be required to adjust the signal

level.

OAT100R

__ Unpack the OAT100R unit and all accessories.

OAT100R Accessories: • AC Power Cord and Adapter

__ Select the location for mounting the OAT100R. Ensure that adequate ventilation is

available

__ Obtain the necessary attachment hardware to mount the OAT100R chassis in its

targeted location.

__ Plan and install the necessary cabling and network (Ethernet) and AC power access

for the OAT100R. You will also need the following to connect a PC directly to the

OAT100R for system setup purposes: FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ).

8206-4219

Setup Information (Cont.)

Channel Assignments for RF Output

_ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan

to incorporate the RF output of the OAT100R. Ensure that up to four contiguous

CATV channels are allocated for the RF output. The OAT100R uses either a 256-QAM

or 64-QAM modulation format, thereby occupying approximately 24 MHz of frequency

spectrum.

The RF start channel is user-assigned during system setup, and the remaining

channels are then automatically assigned per EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation

standards. For example, if the RF start channel assignment is channel 2, the three

remaining channels will be 3, 4, and 5. However, if the RF start channel assignment is

6, the three remaining channels will be 95, 96, and 97. Refer to EIA-542 STD CATV

frequency allocation tables for further information as required.

The highest available RF channel number for the OAT100R is 135. Thus, to

allocate all four channels available for OAT100R RF output, the RF start channel

must be set no higher than 132.

_ Find a location on the frequency spectrum that is free of existing noise.

Channel Assignments for IP Output

_ The OAT100R outputs IPv4 multicast streams. Ensure the institution’s IP network

and room receivers support IPv4 multicast and that the network is capable of

selectively routing multicast traffic. Refer to vendor equipment documentation for

further information.

_ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing

plan to incorporate the IP output of the OAT100R. Ensure that up to eight unused

and unreserved IPv4 multicast addresses, within the designated range 224.0.0.0 to

239.255.255.255, are allocated for the OAT100R IP output.

IP channels are user-assigned during system setup. You may opt to specify an IP

start channel and enable the system to auto-increment the remaining channel

assignments. For example, if the IP start channel assignment is 227.0.0.40, the

remaining channels will be 227.0.0.41, 227.0.0.42, etc. Or, you may opt to

manually specify the IP details for each IP channel.

_ Reserve at least one User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for the multicast data

streams. You can use the system default (1234) or another unassigned port number

for each data stream, as required, for example, 50000, 50001, etc. The port(s) must

avoid conﬂict with other protocols in use.

Note: Refer to the IANA IPv4 Multicast Address Space Registry and/or the IANA Service

Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry for further IP address/port information

as required.

206-4219 21

(Continued from previous page)

e) Repeat steps (c) and (d) for each of the additional three tuners, as required.

Note: Use the “tuner” command to access the Tuner Menu for each of the tuners

in turn; i.e., at the

Tuner Command >

prompt, type tuner and press Enter.

Then, at the

Enter Tuner number [#]>

prompt, type the number of the next

OAT100R RF IN port/tuner and press Enter. The system will identify the (newly)

current tuner and then display a tuner command prompt.

f) When you are finished mapping the last tuner stream, at the

Tuner Command >

prompt, type exit and press Enter to return to the Main Menu

Command >

prompt.

19. (Optional) As part of the system setup, you will need to set tuner channel and

Packet Identifiers (PIDs)

Note: If Pro:Idiom channels are NOT present in the site’s entertainment system, PIDs do

not need to be set in the OAT100R, and therefore, you will not need to design a PID map

for the OAT100R output.

Note: See “Packet Identiﬁers (PIDs) Overview” in the extended Installation & Setup

Guide for further information on PIDs.

__ Survey the PIDs currently used in the system, and design a PID map for the

OAT100R output (ensure that up to 64 PIDs are allocated). Ensure that Pro:Idiom

message PIDs are never used by the video/audio PIDs for the OAT100R channels

(or any other system elements).

The program start PID is user-assigned during system setup, and the 63 remaining

PIDs are then automatically assigned within the 64-PID contiguous block.

__ PIDs must be specified in the OAT100R system as hexadecimal numbers.

Rack Installation (Cont.)

Rack-mount Considerations

A. Elevated Operating Ambient

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature

of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consid-

eration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible

with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer (see

Specifications information in this document).

B. Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow

required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. To ventilate the

system normally and avoid overheating, leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) on each side

(including top and bottom) of the OAT100R. Do NOT stack other equipment on the

top of the OAT100R.

C. Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply

circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent

protection and supply wiring.

D. Reliable Earthing

Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Particular attention should be

given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.

use of power strips).

E. Mains Outlet Earthing

The apparatus with Class I construction must be connected to a mains socket outlet

with a protective earthing connection.

9. Check the Ctrl IP (Control Port IP address) ﬁeld in the System Information display. By

default, the OAT100R uses DHCP; thus, the DHCP server, if conﬁgured, assigns an

IP address to the OAT100R once the OAT100R successfully connects to the network.

• If the Ctrl IP ﬁeld shows an IP address, the OAT100R is up and running on the

network. Continue with step 10.

• If the network is conﬁgured for DHCP but the Ctrl IP ﬁeld is blank, refer to “Network

Setup” troubleshooting information on page 24.

• If the network is not conﬁgured for DHCP, you will need to conﬁgure a static IP

address for the OAT100R. Complete steps 10 to 13 (as required), and then set the

OAT100R IP address using the commands indicated in step 14.

10. Check the Output ﬁeld in the System Information display. If the default value (RF)

does not identify the appropriate output type, set the output mode as follows:

a) At the

Command >

prompt, type setup and press Enter to access the Setup Menu.

b) At the

Setup Command >

Typical System Installation

(see also Typical Setup Flow Charts on the previous pages)

1. If not already done (see setup information on page 7), measure the signal level at each

of the OAT100R RF inputs. For proper system performance, the signal level at each

input must be between +3 dBm (+52 dBmV) and -83 dBm (-34 dBmV). A nominal value

of -53 dBm (-4 dBmV) is recommended.

2. Connect a 75 ohm RG-6 or larger coaxial cable from the terrestrial antenna distribution

system to each RF IN port to be used on the OAT100R rear panel. Up to eight

OAT100R RF tuners may be connected for RF 256-QAM output or IP output; up to

four OAT100R RF tuners may be connected for RF 64-QAM output.

3. To enable remote management, connect one end of a CAT5 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to

the Control Port on the OAT100R rear panel, and connect the other end of the cable

to the institution’s network.

Caution: The subnet 192.168.0.x is reserved for internal communication

and cannot be used for the Control Port network subnet. This is the only

restriction; for example, you can use 192.168.1.x, 10.x.x.x, etc. Contact

your service representative for further information.

4. Connect the OAT100R power supply to the POWER connector on the OAT100R rear

panel. Then, plug the AC power cord into a powered AC line receptacle. When power

is applied, the PWR (Power) LED on the OAT100R front panel will initially flash red and

then turn green.

The boot-up process for the OAT100R may take up to two minutes. When boot-up is

complete, the STATUS LED on the OAT100R front panel will light continuously green.

5. Once the STATUS LED is lit continuously (no longer blinking), use the FTDI TTL-

232R-5V-AJ cable to connect a PC to the Service Port on the OAT100R front panel.

6. Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation program on the PC, conﬁgure

the serial port as follows: Bits per second/baud = 115200; Data bits = 8; Parity = None;

Stop bits = 1; Flow Control = None

Once the connection is established, you should see a login prompt. (If the login prompt

is not automatically displayed, press Enter to refresh the screen.)

7. At the

prompt, type admin and press Enter. Then, type the admin user

password (provided by LG) at the

password:

prompt.

8. At the

Command >

prompt, type info and press Enter. (Note that you can press

Enter at any OAT100R command prompt to view current menu.)
