Carefully unpack the equipment from the shipping box. If the box or equipment is damaged, notify the freight company to make
a damage claim. If you suspect that there is a problem with the equipment that may preclude safe operation, do not install or
operate it. Contact ATX Networks immediately for instructions.
WARNING: This equipment is intended for installation in a RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION

only.
WARNING: This equipment is NOT for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard for
Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
WARNING: This equipment is intended for use in a fixed position and should be installed securely
before operation is initiated.
3 .3 Precautions
3 .3 .1 Electrical Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the Device chassis from damage:
• Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room’s emergency power-off switch,
disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the
system.
• Power should always be disconnected from the system when servicing. When disconnecting power, you should first
power down the operating system first and then unplug the power cords. The unit has more than one power supply
cord. Disconnect two power supply cords before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the power-off controls should
be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit,
which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical
components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use
rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
• The power supply power cords must include a grounding pin and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short
circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
• This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure that the unit is also reliably connected
to Earth (ground).
3 .3 .2 General Precautions
WARNING: The RF connections provided with this equipment are not intended for direct connection
to any outside telecommunications network or outside cable distribution plant.
WARNING: When the equipment is lifted by the front handles, always use both front handles for
security. Never lift this equipment using only a single front handle due to the weight of the equipment.
• The Devices weighs up to approximately 30 lbs (13.5kg). When lifting the system, two people should lift slowly with
their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can
come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.
• After accessing the inside of the Device, close the chassis back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention
screws and ensure that all connections have been made.
3 .3 .3 Chassis Precautions
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
• Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the Device from power surges, voltage spikes and to
keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
• Allow any power supply modules to cool before touching them.
3 .3 .4 Rack Precautions
• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack
resting on them.
• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should
be coupled together.
• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
3 .4 General Mechanical
• The equipment will require 1RU or 2RU of vertical rack space depending on the model being installed and may
be mounted directly above or below other equipment without providing space between, however, 1RU space is
recommended to be maintained from other equipment which generates significant heat.
• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to work on the chassis (~25 inches) and approximately 30
inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease of servicing.
NOTE: More general information about equipment abient temperature requirements may be found
in this document from ATX Networks: http://www.atxnetworks.com/pdf/ANW1066_MDU_UCrypt_
Environment_Temp_Considerations_InfoSheet.pdf
• Rear support of the unit is mandatory and rails for attachment to rear supports are provided. Do not use the unit
chassis to support other equipment. Alternately, if rear support rails are unavailable or impractical, install the unit on
a well supported shelf.
3.5 General Electrical

• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the mains power and the effect that any
possible overloading of circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings of all connected equipment should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained in addition to any grounding conductor provided
in the power cord. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
3.6 General Environment

• Be sure to maintain freedom of air movement around equipment to ensure safe operation.
• Installation of the equipment in enclosed racks is not recommended due to possibility of restricted 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.
• The equipment is designed to operate to specification in an ambient temperature of +0°C to +40°C (+35°F to +104°F),
however, normal room temperature is recommended to ensure long term operation of the equipment.
• If equipment is 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) of +40°C (+104°F).
3.7 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The input ports are auto MDI-MDIx and intended to be connected to a network distribution switch using straight through wired
Cat5e or better quality cable. The rear panel Management Interface port allows connection to a notebook or desktop PC for
managing and configuring the system. The port may be connected to directly, or in the case of a headend with many devices to
manage, may be connected to a management network (recommended) or the distribution switch containing the video stream
content. It is possible to set up virtual ports for a VLAN. Connections should be made with Cat5e or better network cables.
The GigE management port is auto MDI-MDIx and may be connected to a switch or router with a straight through wired cable.
3 .8 Install the 1RU Device

This section provides information on installing the 1RU Device chassis in a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety
of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You
should also refer to the installation instructions or adapt these instructions to suit the rack unit you are using.
WARNING: The illustrations in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 are for general guidance purposes only.
Always install the Device chassis to the bottom of the rack first to avoid the rack becoming top
heavy.
3 .8 .1 Identifying the Rack Rail Sections

The 1RU Device chassis includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of two sections: An
inner chassis rail secured to the chassis (front part is factory installed, extension is field installed), an outer rail that secures
to the rack, and an outer rail extension that secures directly to the rear vertical support, Figure 3-1. Each of these assemblies
are designed for mounting universally on the left or right side of the chassis.
NOTE: This rail will fit a rack between 26” and 33.5” deep.

3 .10 Equipment Safety Grounding

Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). The following guidelines are provided to clarify
the requirements for the installation to meet UL, CUL and CB standards. The use of the words “Ground” and “Earth” as well as
“Grounding” and “Earthing” may be used interchangeably and in this context, have the same meaning.
WARNING: To comply with standards it is imperative that the chassis be connected to a

permanent building ground before connecting any power supply conductors due to high leakage
currents present in redundant power supply configurations. A warning label, shown in Figure 3-10,
is attached to all affected products.
Figure 3-10: Leakage Current Warning Label
The Device housing and power supplies must be connected to a permanent building ground in a manner that will ensure that
the exposed metal parts are constantly connected to ground through independent means even when the power supply cord
or wires may be disconnected temporarily. A ground connection screw terminal is provided on the rear panel to conveniently
effect such a connection.
3 .10 .1 Ground Connection

The supplementary equipment grounding conductor is to be installed between the rear panel ground screw and earth, that
is, in addition to the equipment ground conductor in the power supply cord or wires. The screw terminals provided for this
connection are located on the rear panel as illustrated in Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9.

Safety Ground Lug
Figure 3-9: 2RU Safety Ground Connection
3 .10 .2 Ground Conductor Size

The supplementary equipment grounding conductor may not be smaller in size than the branch-circuit supply conductors
or a minimum #14 AWG. The supplementary equipment grounding conductor is to be connected at the rear panel terminal
provided, and connected to earth in a manner that will retain the earth connection when the power supply cord is unplugged.
The connection to earth of the supplementary grounding conductor shall be in compliance with the appropriate rules for
terminating bonding jumpers in Part V of Article 250 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and Section 10 of Part I
of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1.
3.10.3 Ground Conductor Termination

Termination of the supplementary equipment grounding conductor may be made to building steel, to a metal electrical raceway
system, or to any grounded item that is permanently and reliably connected to the electrical service equipment earth.
3.10.4 Ground Conductor Type

Bare, covered or insulated grounding conductors are acceptable. A covered or insulated grounding conductor shall have a
continuous outer finish that is either green, or green with one or more yellow stripes.
3.11 AC Power Supplies
Both the redundant and non-redundant AC power supplies are auto-sensing switching type power supply systems which may
be operated on input voltages from 115 VAC to 230 VAC. There is no need to configure the power supplies to operate on any
voltage in this range.
3.11.1 AC Power Cord Protection

Measures must be taken during installation to route or arrange the power supply cords or wires to prevent physical damage
and to avoid the possibility of future damage occurring. The cords shall be installed and routed such that, throughout it’s
length, the cord and it’s points of connection are not strained in any way.
3.11.2 AC Power Cord Attachment

The unit AC power supply cords shall not be attached to a building surface, bundled with audio, video or RF coaxial cables,
nor run through walls, ceilings, floors and similar openings in the building structure.
3.11.3 Provision of Electrical AC Power Outlet

An AC electrical power outlet of appropriate type and rating shall be provided near the location where the unit is installed
and easily accessible such that the provided power supply cords may be routed in an appropriate manner, without the use of
extension cords, between the receptacle and the chassis. Alternately, the chassis shall be installed in close proximity to an
existing AC electrical outlet such that the requirements of this paragraph are achieved.
3.11.4 IEC C13 Power Input Cord for AC

The AC power input receptacle is a standard IEC C14 socket connector similar to that commonly used on computers and
monitors. The power cords provided with the IP2A product is a North American configuration with a NEMA 5-15 grounded
plug for 115 VAC. If it is necessary to operate the product on 230 VAC, the installer must obtain IEC C13 cords with a NEMA
6-15 grounded plug for use in North America. This may be obtained at time of order from ATX Networks or locally. If shipped
outside of North America, the Device will be supplied with an IEC C13 cord set appropriate for the locale to which it is shipped.
3.11.5 AC Input Power Requirements

When installing the equipment, it is the responsibility of the installer to determine that sufficient capacity is available in the
electrical circuit feeding the unit to avoid overloading the supply circuit. The AC model will require power to be supplied from a
properly grounded AC outlet. The installer shall determine that the AC power outlet, its wiring and receptacle is in compliance
with local and/or national electrical codes as applicable. The AC input power requirement is constant over the range of input
voltages. At higher input voltages, the current consumption is lower than it is at lower voltages where the input current is higher.
3 .12 DC Power Supplies
3 .12 .1 DC Power Supply Connections

The optional redundant DC switching type power supply system is intended to operate on nominal -48 VDC power systems
but functions between -40 and -57.2 VDC. A pair of insulated #12 AWG DC power wires must be field installed for each of the
two modules using permanent wiring methods. Wire insulation colors must be different for each of the two conductors clearly
indicating the polarity of the voltage. It is recommended that stranded conductors be used for DC power and that RED wire be
used for the 0V conductor and BLACK for the -48V conductor. Crimped on style Ring or Spade terminals may be used and it
is also permissible to strip the wire 8mm, twist the stranded conductors tightly and clamp the wire in the provided wire clamp
as illustrated in Figure 3-11.

3 .12 .2 DC Disconnect and Fusing

Each DC power module should be externally fused or otherwise adequately protected at no more that 20 Amperes and
must be provided with it’s own external readily accessible disconnect device. Each disconnect must be prominently labeled
indicating the units being powered and with adequate instructions for the removal of all power from the unit
Mutebeing serviced.
The disconnect must be turned off for BOTH power modules before removing supply wires from the module Alarm
terminal blocks
when replacing a power supply module or otherwise servicing the unit.
3 .13 Power Supply Redundancy

For the redundant power supplies, either power module on its own can provide the required power safely if one fails. To retain
the redundancy feature, replace a failed power module as soon as possible. A power module failure or the failure of the supply
current or protection fuse will be indicated by an audible alarm within the encoder power modules and the green power status
LED on the power module will be extinguished. Silence the audible alarm with the red rear panel Alarm Reset switch adjacent
to the power supply modules, Figure 3-12.
3 .13 .1 Redundant Power Module Replacement

AC Version
WARNING: The power cords for BOTH power modules must be disconnected before attempting
to remove the power modules or otherwise servicing the unit.
Power module failure will be indicated by the alarm being sounded and the green status light on the module will no longer be
lit. This power module may be replaced by first disconnecting the AC power cord from the IEC input socket of BOTH power
modules, then release the module by pressing to the left on the thumb latch at the bottom of each module. Extract the module
and replace with an identical replacement module only.
DC Version
WARNING: The external disconnect for BOTH power modules must be turned off before
attempting to disconnect the DC wiring from the power module terminals or otherwise servicing the
unit.
Power module failure will be indicated by the alarm being sounded and the green status light on the module will no longer be

5 .8 Configure Redundancy Failover

Input streams may have a redundant stream defined. Failover to the backup will automatically occur when the primary feed is
unavailable. The return to primary can be defined as automatic ‘return to primary’ or ‘stay on secondary’. Feeds may also
be manually swapped. If any channels are to be decrypted on the output, that will be specified as the channel is added or
edited so the Decryption Profile must be defined beforehand, see “Decryption Profiles” on page 5-12.
Procedure
This procedure explains how to configure redundancy.
1. Click the Channels Tab if it is not already selected, Figure 5-16.
2. Click the +Failover link for the resource for which redundancy will be defined.

2
Figure 5-16: Select Failover Link
3. Edit the Failover form settings according to your system requirements, Figure 5-17, and use Table 5.8a for guidance.
By default the system assumes that the IP address and port as well as program number and language matches the
primary feed.
4. If this program should be decrypted on the output, select the pre-defined Decryption Profile from the drop down
menu choices. The profiles must be configured before any decryption selection may be made. The default is no
decryption. (If profiles are not ready you may return here to select decryption later, saving the change.)
5. Click Detect. Note that ‘Detecting’ the programs is only technically necessary if the failover feed is not the same IP
address, port, program number and language as the primary as would be the case for a redundant stream which is
an exact copy of the main stream on a different interface. Detecting the programs allows a different program to be
used as failover. If the failover and main IP address, port, program number and language match, go to step 9.

6 .10 EAS
The EAS section, Figure 6-46, allows EAS (Emergency Alert System) configuration for messaging and program substitution
but there needs to be a Details Channel streaming source and a source of J-STD-42-B EAS Alerts available on one of
the Ethernet interfaces. Only a full channel substitution is supported, no text crawls. This is accomplished by way of mass
force tune of all resources to the multicast address specified as the Details Channel. EAS Alerts are received on the Source
multicast address. This would be the IP address of your EAS encoder/Generator.
Figure 6-46: EAS Section
The configuration form is shown in Figure 6-47 and Table 6.10a summarizes the form and settings.
