X-Digital Systems XDS PRO4-P QUICK START GUIDE

PLEASE REVIEW THIS GUIDE IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE INSTALLING

YOUR XDS RECEIVER. ALSO, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

CALLING SUPPORT.

• Make all satellite RF, data (LAN/WAN) and audio connections prior to

applying AC power to the XDS receiver.

Your receiver will NOT receive network programming, until you connect

your XDS receiver to the internet and Activate it per the instructions in

this document. Your XDS receiver MUST always be connected to the

internet 24/7/365.

• XDS urges stations to use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for

the XDS receiver for equipment protection from power spikes or

brownouts. Also consider lightning protection if you are located in an

area susceptible to frequent lightning storms. Surge suppressors

alone often do not provide sufficient protection.

NOTE: Appendix A contains a front panel menu map that can help you

navigate through the XDS receiver settings and configuration.

1. MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

1.1 SATELLITE RF CONNECTION

Your XDS receiver is pre-tuned as specified in the attached “Network Configuration Data

Sheet”. Once the satellite RF is properly connected and you apply AC power, the XDS

receiver should automatically tune and lock to the network satellite carrier.

A. Connect the satellite RF to your downlink

Your new XDS receiver will include a parts kit that includes two 6-foot RG-6 cables

and an L-band splitter that allows DC power to pass through one port.

B. Verify the XDS receiver is tuned and locked to the network carrier
