Your Wegener iPump is an
advanced multimedia appliance that allows simple, efficient
management of both live and recorded digital video, audio, and data
content. With a single unit, you can receive, decode, and play out
broadcast-quality transmissions while receiving and recording
multiple programs or IP data files from a satellite or TCP/IP
connection. Along with our Compel MediaPlan®software, you can
insert content into real-time or recorded programs and can schedule
playback of custom sequences of live and recorded content. This
Quick Start Guide will help you quickly set up and start operating
your iPump. For a full description of the iPump's abilities and
detailed installation and operation instructions, please consult the
iPump User's Reference Manual available on the worldwide web at
wegener.com. For additional help, contact us by phone at
[phone], by fax at [phone], or by email at

The liquid crystal display (LCD) provides menu, data, and input
screens to the user. Menu screens are entry points to further
screens showing signal or unit status or to user-input screens that
can be changed by the user. The "home" screen displays the
unit's serial number, Eb/N0, and alternately displays FEC ratio,
signal frequency, and transport rate. This screen may be reached
at any time by repeatedly pressing the ESC button.
Six pushbuttons allow you to move through the various screens,
select characters for input, and accept or reject changes. To move
downward or upward through the menu screens, use the ENTER
and ESC buttons. To enter or change data in editable fields, press
the ENTER button and use the up and down arrow buttons ( )
to increment the highlighted character or digit. Use the right and
left arrow buttons ( ) to move to adjacent digits and press
ENTER again to accept your input. Pressing ESC before
accepting your input will cancel any changes.
