10 (Optional) Set the time zone and/or the date and time on the PCS400R.
By default, the PCS400R is synchronized with an NTP server and configured for the US Eastern time zone.
If the PCS400R is connected to the Internet, the NTP client will periodically update the time setting on the
PCS400R. You can set the time zone as required. If the PCS400R is not connected to the Internet, you also
have the option to specify date and time data manually.
Use the PCS400R "tz" and/or "time" commands (available from the Command > prompt) and follow the
system prompts to set the time zone and/or date and time on the PCS400R, as necessary. See "Set the
Time Zone" on pages 31 to 32 and/or "Set the Date and Time" on pages 32 for further information.
* Note: If you changed the time zone, you will be prompted to reset the system. Continue with step 11.
11 If you made any configuration changes in steps 9 or 10, reset the PCS400R: At the
and press
12 Make the appropriate connection to the RF distribution system or IP distribution network depending on the
PCS400R output option to be used:
• ASI output: Connect the RF output on the upconverter to the RF distribution center combiner, and balance
the RF signal so that the Pro:Centric signal level at the TV(s) is between 0 to +7 dBmV.
• RF output: Connect RF OUT on the PCS400R to the RF distribution center combiner, and balance the RF
signal so that the Pro:Centric signal level at the TV(s) is between 0 to +7 dBmV.
• IP output: Connect a CAT5E or better Ethernet cable between the Feature Port on the PCS400R rear panel
and the institution's IP distribution network.
• Caution (ASI/RF Output only): For proper system performance, the Pro:Centric signal level at
the TV input (ANTENNA IN) must be between 0 to +7 dBmV. Note that additional equipment
may be required to adjust the signal level.
• Caution: When not in use, the RF TAP (0 dBmV) connector must remain terminated with
attached terminator accessory.
The remainder of the system setup—configuration of ASI, RF, or IP output parameters, video playout settings,
Pro:Centric Channel Map, etc.—is performed in the Admin Client that is appropriate for your system (based on
your selection in step 7 of the procedure above). Refer to either the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User
Guide (Java application) or the Pro:Centric Direct Admin Client User Guide (HTML application), as applicable,
for further information.
* Note: By default, the server output is enabled for 256-QAM-B modulation (RF output), with the data
channel set to 75.
