Pre-Installation Tasks
Please take a few minutes to read through this chapter before proceeding with the installation. This section offers
common procedures for installing your new OmniaONE processor.
About This Manual
This manual is written to cover the OmniaONE Multicast. If you are setting up a different version of the
OmniaONE, please refer to the instruction manual for that product.
OmniaONE Components
By now, you’ve unpacked the shipping carton to gain access to this manual. Now is the time to inspect the
OmniaONE unit and its shipping carton for any signs of shipping damage. Such damage must be reported to your
carrier for any claims. The OmniaONE shipping box includes the following components:
¾ OmniaONE processor.
¾ OmniaONE Operating Manual in PDF format on Compact Disc.
¾ Warranty Registration Card. (Please complete the form and return/FAX it to Telos/Omnia)
¾ Two IEC Power Cords, one for use in the US, and one for use in Europe.
¾ One each Male and Female XLR to StudioHUB ® RJ45 adaptor cables.
AC Power Environment
The OmniaONE subsystem is a DSP-based microcomputer, and therefore requires reasonably clean AC power
environment just as any modern computer system does. And even though the OmniaONE power supply is equipped
with robust AC transient suppression, we recommend that external transient suppression and/or an Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) be employed.
At transmitter sites there can be heavy transients on the power lines as well as significant surges introduced into the
power system by frequent lighting strikes. These are unwelcome power line events and can damage even the most
robust equipment. Therefore you should give the AC power environment and installation practices thorough
consideration before plugging in the OmniaONE (or any other microcomputer-based equipment).
A White Paper by one of our Support Engineers can be found on the Telos Systems website at the URL listed below.
It details proper grounding and contains links to some surge suppression products for both the power mains and the
often-neglected telephone, Ethernet and ISDN line connections that can (and do) conduct powerful surges into the
equipment.
