Quantity Description
1 CMR-6000 [CMR-6000]
1 IEC Power Cable
1 CA-TERMINAL Terminal Cable
1 Quick Start sheet
Installation
The CMR-6000 is designed for ease of installation and configuration. Once the unit has been removed
from the packing container, please follow these instructions:
Step Procedure
1 Place the unit on a flat surface with free airflow, where the LEDs can be clearly observed
and with unrestricted access to the rear panel of the unit.
2 Until the unit has been fully configured, the coaxial connection to the Low Noise Block
(LNB) should NOT be connected to the unit. If the unit will not be powering the LNB, it is
recommended that 'Polarity' (on the 'Tuner' configuration page) be set to 'Off'.
3 Connect the power cable to the back of the unit.
4 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (patch cord) to the port labeled ETHERNET and to an
Ethernet concentrator (hub) or switch.
5 Connect a terminal cable P/N CA-TERMINAL (supplied) to the port labeled TERM and to
a PC’s serial port (DB-9), to initially configure the CMR-6000.
6 Connect the AC power cord to a standard wall outlet and the unit.
7 Upon startup, the LEDs on the front panel may illuminate as follows:
Color Label Description
Green / Red STATUS Red indicates error status, green indicates status ok
Green LOCK Solid green indicates the tuner is locked
Green E-LINK
LED illuminates if the Ethernet connection to the Hub/Switch
is operational
Green REDUN
Redundancy indicator. Solid green unit is redundant online
and flashing green is redundant offline (backup)
Amber ASI-TX Solid when ASI is enabled
Amber ASI-RX Solid when ASI input is connected
Amber E-ACT
Flashes when there is Ethernet activity
Solid when management connection (web or Telnet)
Amber MGT
Initial Configuration
The initial configuration requires setting up the IP parameters via the terminal cable. Once the IP
parameters have been configured, the terminal cable can be removed. Store the terminal cable in a known
location, because it may be needed in the future. The front panel may also be used for initial configuration
of the IP parameters.
