OAT100R Rack Installation
(also see pages 12 and 13)
To install the OAT100R in a rack:
• Carefully slide the OAT100R into a standard
19-inch equipment rack.
• When mounting in the rack, make sure to use
the appropriate hardware. ALL FOUR MOUNT-
ING SCREWS MUST BE USED.
• This equipment is not designed to support
other devices. Do NOT stack other equipment
on the top of the OAT100R.
• Rear cabling must be dressed and supported
so that the weight of the cabling is not a strain
on the OAT100R connectors.
• MOUNTING OF THE EQUIPMENT IN THE
RACK SHOULD BE SUCH THAT A HAZARD-
OUS CONDITION IS NOT ACHIEVED DUE TO
UNEVEN MECHANICAL LOADING.
Rack-mount Considerations
A. Elevated Operating Ambient
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient tempera-
ture of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
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).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued on next page)

(Continued from previous page)
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 nor-
mally 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. Also,
if multiple OAT100R units are to be installed
in close proximity, for example, in one rack,
ensure that the units’ AC power adapters
are never stacked or bundled. Each adapter
should have adequate ventilation and should
be isolated from other heat sources.
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.
OAT100R Server Installation on a Flat Surface
To install the OAT100R on a level surface (table
top, shelf, etc.):
• Install the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum operating
ambient temperature (Tma) specied by the
manufacturer (see Specications information
in this document).
• Place spacers or rubber feet (not provided) on
the bottom of the OAT100R .
• Carefully place the OAT100R on the level
surface.
• 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.

® Video Distribution) and OAT100R units may be
combined in the head end to deliver an entire channel lineup of digital programming.
Note: Design and specifications subject to change without prior notice.

8206-4218
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 the 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).
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
broadcast channels are allocated for the OAT100R 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
Setup Information

Setup Information (Cont.)
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 conict 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.
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 also “Packet Identiers (PIDs) Overview” on the following page.
__ 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.

10 206-4218
Packet Identiers (PIDs) Overview
Each RF channel has ve or more associated PIDs assigned in a hierarchy (see diagram
below), and the content of each RF channel is carried in a transport stream.
The transport stream is a packet-based protocol, where each packet has a PID that is used to
uniquely identify packets for particular purposes (video, audio, etc.). This allows multiple video
and audio streams to be multiplexed without receiver confusion. For example, if a stream
contains three video programs, each video program has a unique PID. The PAT PID is always
0x0000 and all other PIDs can be in the range 0x0010 to 0x1ffe, inclusive.
The PAT and PMT are tables that indicate which PIDs are used for which purposes. The PAT
contains a list of PMT PIDs. The PMT contains a list of the PIDs of elementary stream data,
such as audio or video, etc. Typical transport streams contain one PID for the PAT, as well as
three or more PIDs for each program (one for PMT, one for video, and one or more for audio).
The PIDs used for each elementary stream must be unique to allow receivers to properly
demultiplex.
Pro:Idiom adds a third PID type to each PMT. The Pro:Idiom message PID may fall anywhere
in the range 0x0010 to 0x1ffe, inclusive and also must be unique. If Pro:Idiom channels are
present in the target system, ensure that Pro:Idiom message PIDs are never used on any
other streams in that system. To facilitate PID allocation, the OAT100R uses a block of 64
contiguous PIDs that can be moved by selecting the start PID.
Refer to ISO/IEC 13818-1:2000, Section 2.4.3, “Specication of the Transport Stream syntax
and semantics,” for further information.

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, consideration 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. Also, if multiple
OAT100R units are to be installed in close proximity, for example, in one rack, ensure that the
units’ AC power adapters are never stacked or bundled. Each adapter should have adequate
ventilation and should be isolated from other heat sources.
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.

Typical System Installation
(see also Typical Setup Flow Charts on the previous pages)
1. If not already done (see setup information on page 8), measure the signal level at each of
the antenna RF inputs. For proper system performance, the signal level at each antenna
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, congure 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 login as: 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.)

9. Check the Ctrl IP (Control Port IP address) eld in the System Information display. By
default, the OAT100R uses DHCP; thus, the DHCP server, if congured, assigns an IP
address to the OAT100R once the OAT100R successfully connects to the network.
• If the Ctrl IP eld shows an IP address, the OAT100R is up and running on the network.
Continue with step 10.
• If the network is congured for DHCP but the Ctrl IP eld is blank, refer to “Network Setup”
troubleshooting information on page 67.
• If the network is not congured for DHCP, you will need to congure 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 eld 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) Use the Setup Menu “omode” command to set the appropriate output mode. See “Set
the Output Mode” on page 49 for further information.
11. The next step depends on the output mode:
• If you are setting up the system for RF output, continue with step 12.
• If you are setting up the system for IP output, go to step 13.

12. (RF output only) Complete OAT100R RF output configuration as follows:
a) If the Command > prompt is on display, type setup and press Enter to access the
Setup Menu.
b) Use the Setup Menu “rf” command to congure the RF mode and the RF channels. See
“Configure the RF Output” on page 54 for further information.
c) Connect RF OUT on the OAT100R rear panel to the RF distribution center combiner,
and balance the RF signal so that the signal level at the TV(s) is between 0 to +7 dBmV.
Caution: For proper system performance, the OAT100R signal level at the
TV input (ANTENNA IN) must be between 0 to +7 dBmV. Note that additional
equipment (i.e., attenuators) may be required to adjust the signal level.
d) Go to step 14.
13. (IP output only) Complete OAT100R IP output configuration as follows:
a) If the Command > prompt is on display, type setup and press Enter to access the
Setup Menu.
b) At the Setup Command > prompt, type ipout and press Enter to access the IP
Output Conguration Menu.
c) The IP Output Conguration Menu offers two options for configuring output IP channels:
• To manually congure the output IP channels, use the “set’’ command. You will need
to specify a multicast IP address and the multicast port number for each tuner.
• To auto-congure output IP channels from a base multicast IP address and port
number, use the “ll” command. Once you enter the base multicast IP address and
the multicast port number, the system will auto-increment the remaining IP channels.
Refer to “Congure the IP Output” on pages 56 to 58 for further information on the IP
Output Conguration Menu commands. Make sure to use the IP Output Conguration
Menu “apply” command to conrm and apply the conguration data to the system.
d) Once you have completed the output IP channel conguration, at the next IP
Output Command > prompt, type exit and press Enter to return to the Setup Menu
prompt.
e) Connect a CAT5E or better cable between the Feature Port on the OAT100R rear
panel and the institution’s IP distribution network.
f) Continue with step 14.
14. (Optional) For remote management purposes, you can set a static IP address for the
OAT100R Control Port as follows:
a) If the Command > prompt is on display, type setup and press Enter to access the
Setup Menu.

b) At the Setup Command > prompt, type setip and press Enter. The system will
display the current network configuration, followed by the Network Configuration Menu.
c) Use the Network Configuration Menu “ip” and “dns” commands to configure the Control
Port. See “Configure the Control Port” on page 52 for further information.
Note: Review the New Network Configuration overview carefully before you confirm the
Control Port configuration settings. Ensure each of the addresses was entered correctly.
Note: If you change the Control Port configuration, you will be prompted to reset the
system. If you intend to modify additional configuration settings during the current session,
you may wait until all changes are complete before you reset the system.
15. Once all physical connections to the OAT100R have been made and the Control Port IP
address has been assigned or configured, you also have the option to complete the
system setup remotely using either the web GUI or the command line interface.
• To complete the system setup in the current session (via the Service Port), continue with
step 16.
• If you wish to complete the setup remotely, reset the system at this time: At either the
Command > prompt or the Setup Command > prompt, type reset and press Enter.
When you are ready, establish remote communication with the OAT100R, and then
continue with step 16. Note that you may use the GUI to perform the conguration steps,
if desired. Refer to “Network and Communication Setup” on page 22 for information on
establishing remote communication with the OAT100R and/or “Conguration Options via
GUI” on pages 23 to 38 for further information on the GUI.
16. (Required only if Pro:Idiom channels are present in the system) Check the Program PIDs
field in the System Information display (if necessary, you can rerun the “info” command
from either the Command > or Setup Command > prompt). If the default range (0x30 -
0x6f) is not appropriate for this system, set the PIDs as follows:
a) If the Command > prompt is on display, type setup and press Enter to access the
Setup Menu.
b) Use the Setup Menu “pid” command to configure the program PIDs. See “Configure the
Program PIDs” on page 50 for further information. Note that PIDs must be specified as
hexadecimal numbers.
17. (Optional) If desired, you can identify the location in which the OAT100R is installed. The
location description will be displayed as part of the System Information in the command line
interface and as part of the System Status and Tuner Information screens in the GUI.
a) If the Command > prompt is on display, type setup and press Enter to access the
Setup Menu.
b) Use the Setup Menu “location” command to identify the site location. See “Identify the
Site Location” on page 63 for further information.

18. (64-QAM output only) Streams 1, 2, 3, and 4 are congured by default when 64-QAM output
is used, though any four of the OAT100R tuners may be mapped to these streams. In the
default system conguration, Tuner 1 is mapped to Stream 1, Tuner 2 is mapped to Stream
2, etc. If Tuners 5, 6, 7, and/or 8 are among the four tuners that were connected to the
terrestrial antenna distribution system, make sure the tuners are mapped to the appropriate
streams, as follows:
a) If the Command > prompt is on display, type tuner and press Enter to access the
Tuner Menu.
b) At the Enter Tuner number > prompt, type the number of the rst OAT100R RF IN
port/tuner to congure. Then, press Enter.
The system will identify the current tuner and then display a Tuner Menu command
prompt, for example:
Current Tuner: Tuner-5
c) Use the Tuner Menu “output” command to map the tuner to the appropriate stream (1, 2,
3, or 4). See “Configure Tuner/Output Assignments” on page 46 for further information.
d) Repeat step (c) for each of the additional three tuners, as required.
Note: Use the “tuner” command as described on page 43, to access the Tuner Menu
for each of the tuners in turn.
e) 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 program
numbers. If you are not sure which RF channels and programs are available on each of
the tuners, you may wish to run one or more RF scans before you set the channel and
program numbers as described later in this procedure.
a) If the Command > prompt is on display, type setup and press Enter to access the
Setup Menu.
b) Use the Setup Menu “scan” command to initiate an RF scan. See “Scan for RF
Channels” on page 55 for further information.
Note that an RF scan takes several minutes. When a scan is complete, the system will
provide a listing of the available channels on the selected tuner(s) as well as the program(s)
available for each of those channels.
Repeat this step for additional tuners as necessary; if multiple tuners are connected to one
antenna, you do not need to run separate RF scans on each. Make note of the results, and
then continue with step 20.
