Setup Information
This document provides installation and setup support only for the OAT100R. One or more
VHF and/or UHF antennas must be installed before you proceed to set up the OAT100R. LG
recommends that the system be professionally installed.
Check the following items before you begin the OAT100R installation and setup procedures.
VHF and/or UHF Antennas
__ Create a station plan for the OAT100R terrestrial input(s).
__ Install the appropriate antenna(s) in accordance with the desired channels. The VHF and/
or UHF antenna(s) must be located where it/they will have unobstructed access to the
terrestrial signals. Amplify the antenna distribution as necessary.
__ Point the antenna(s) so as to achieve the best signal quality (use appropriate equipment
for measurement purposes).
__ Up to eight 75 ohm RG-6 or larger coaxial cables from the terrestrial antenna distribution
system should be available for connection to the OAT100R.
__ Confirm that the installation environment meets the >17 dB specification for the OAT100R
RF input signal-to-noise ratio.
__ Measure the signal level at each of the OAT100R RF inputs. For proper system
performance, the signal level at each RF input must be between +3 dBm (+52 dBmV) and
-83 dBm (-34 dBmV). A nominal value of -53 dBm (-4 dBmV) is recommended. Note that
additional equipment (i.e., attenuators) may be required to adjust the signal level.
OAT100R
__ Unpack the OAT100R unit and all accessories.
OAT100R Accessories:
• AC Power Cord and Adapter
__ Select the location for mounting the OAT100R. Ensure that adequate ventilation is available
.
__ Obtain the necessary attachment hardware to mount the OAT100R chassis in its targeted
location.
__ Plan and install the necessary cabling and network (Ethernet) and AC power access for
the OAT100R. You will also need the following to connect a PC directly to the OAT100R
for system setup purposes: FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ).
Channel Assignments for RF Output
__ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to
incorporate the RF output of the OAT100R. Ensure that up to four contiguous CATV
broadcast channels are allocated for the OAT100R RF output. The OAT100R uses either
a 256-QAM or 64-QAM modulation format, thereby occupying approximately 24 MHz of
frequency spectrum.
The RF start channel is user-assigned during system setup, and the remaining channels
are then automatically assigned per EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation standards.
For example, if the RF start channel assignment is channel 2, the three remaining channels
8
206-4218

Setup Information (Cont.)
will be 3, 4, and 5. However, if the RF start channel assignment is 6, the three remaining
channels will be 95, 96, and 97. Refer to EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation tables
for further information as required.
The highest available RF channel number for the OAT100R is 135. Thus, to allocate all
four channels available for OAT100R RF output, the RF start channel must be set no
higher than 132.
__ Find a location on the frequency spectrum that is free of existing noise.
Channel Assignments for IP Output
__ The OAT100R outputs IPv4 multicast streams. Ensure the institution’s IP network and
room receivers support IPv4 multicast and that the network is capable of selectively routing
multicast traffic. Refer to vendor equipment documentation for further information.
__ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to
incorporate the IP output of the OAT100R. Ensure that up to eight unused and unreserved
IPv4 multicast addresses, within the designated range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, are
allocated for the OAT100R IP output.
IP channels are user-assigned during system setup. You may opt to specify an IP start
channel and enable the system to auto-increment the remaining channel assignments. For
example, if the IP start channel assignment is 227.0.0.40, the remaining channels will be
227.0.0.41, 227.0.0.42, etc. Or, you may opt to manually specify the IP details for each IP
channel.
__ Reserve at least one User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for the multicast data streams.
You can use the system default (1234) or another unassigned port number for each data
stream, as required, for example, 50000, 50001, etc. The port(s) must avoid conflict with
other protocols in use.
Note: Refer to the IANA IPv4 Multicast Address Space Registry and/or the IANA Service
Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry for further IP address/port information as
required.
Packet Identifiers (PIDs)
Note: If Pro:Idiom channels are NOT present in the site’s entertainment system, PIDs do not
need to be set in the OAT100R, and therefore, you will not need to design a PID map for the
OAT100R output.
Note: See also “Packet Identifiers (PIDs) Overview” on the following page.
__ Survey the PIDs currently used in the system, and design a PID map for the OAT100R
output (ensure that up to 64 PIDs are allocated). Ensure that Pro:Idiom message PIDs are
never used by the video/audio PIDs for the OAT100R channels (or any other system
elements).
The program start PID is user-assigned during system setup, and the 63 remaining PIDs
are then automatically assigned within the 64-PID contiguous block.
__ PIDs must be specified in the OAT100R system as hexadecimal numbers.

Packet Identifiers (PIDs) Overview
Each RF channel has five or more associated PIDs assigned in a hierarchy (see diagram
below), and the content of each RF channel is carried in a transport stream.
The transport stream is a packet-based protocol, where each packet has a PID that is used to
uniquely identify packets for particular purposes (video, audio, etc.). This allows multiple video
and audio streams to be multiplexed without receiver confusion. For example, if a stream
contains three video programs, each video program has a unique PID. The PAT PID is always
0x0000 and all other PIDs can be in the range 0x0010 to 0x1ffe, inclusive.
The PAT and PMT are tables that indicate which PIDs are used for which purposes. The PAT
contains a list of PMT PIDs. The PMT contains a list of the PIDs of elementary stream data,
such as audio or video, etc. Typical transport streams contain one PID for the PAT, as well as
three or more PIDs for each program (one for PMT, one for video, and one or more for audio).
The PIDs used for each elementary stream must be unique to allow receivers to properly
demultiplex.
Pro:Idiom adds a third PID type to each PMT. The Pro:Idiom message PID may fall anywhere
in the range 0x0010 to 0x1ffe, inclusive and also must be unique. If Pro:Idiom channels are
present in the target system, ensure that Pro:Idiom message PIDs are never used on any
other streams in that system. To facilitate PID allocation, the OAT100R uses a block of 64
contiguous PIDs that can be moved by selecting the start PID.
Refer to ISO/IEC 13818-1:2000, Section 2.4.3, “Specification of the Transport Stream syntax
and semantics,” for further information.

System Setup (Cont.)
Typical System Installation
(see also Typical Setup Flow Charts on the previous pages)
1. If not already done (see setup information on page 8):
• Confirm that the installation environment meets the >17 dB specification for the
OAT100R RF input signal-to-noise ratio.
• Measure the signal level at each of the antenna RF inputs. For proper system
performance, the signal level at each antenna input must be between +3 dBm (+52 dBmV)
and -83 dBm (-34 dBmV). A nominal value of -53 dBm (-4 dBmV) is recommended.
2. Connect a 75 ohm RG-6 or larger coaxial cable from the terrestrial antenna distribution
system to each RF IN port to be used on the OAT100R rear panel. Up to eight OAT100R
RF tuners may be connected for RF 256-QAM output or IP output; up to four OAT100R RF
tuners may be connected for RF 64-QAM output.
3. To enable remote management, connect one end of a CAT5 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the
Control Port on the OAT100R rear panel, and connect the other end of the cable to the
institution’s network.
Caution: The subnet 192.168.0.x is reserved for internal communication and
cannot be used for the Control Port network subnet. This is the only restriction;
for example, you can use 192.168.1.x, 10.x.x.x, etc. Contact your service
representative for further information.
4. Connect the OAT100R power supply to the POWER connector on the OAT100R rear panel.
Then, plug the AC power cord into a powered AC line receptacle. When power is applied, the
PWR (Power) LED on the OAT100R front panel will initially flash red and then turn green.
The boot-up process for the OAT100R may take up to two minutes. When boot-up is
complete, the STATUS LED on the OAT100R front panel will light continuously green.
5. Once the STATUS LED is lit continuously (no longer blinking), use the FTDI TTL-232R-5V-AJ
cable to connect a PC to the Service Port on the OAT100R front panel.
6. Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation program on the PC, configure the
serial port as follows: Bits per second/baud = 115200; Data bits = 8; Parity = None; Stop
bits = 1; Flow Control = None
Once the connection is established, you should see a login prompt. If the login prompt is
not automatically displayed, press Enter to refresh the screen.
7. At the login as: prompt, type admin and press Enter. Then, at the password: prompt,
type Password4Partners (case-sensitive) and press Enter.
Note: After the system setup is complete, it is highly recommended that you
change the admin user password from its default value. See “Change the Login
Password” on page 62 for further information.

9. Check the Ctrl IP (Control Port IP address) field in the System Information display. By
default, the OAT100R uses DHCP; thus, the DHCP server, if configured, assigns an IP
address to the OAT100R once the OAT100R successfully connects to the network.
• If the Ctrl IP field shows an IP address, the OAT100R is up and running on the network.
Continue with step 10.

Network and Communication Setup
This section describes OAT100R communication options for configuration purposes.
Note: Before you proceed with any additional configuration, the system should
be installed and operating as described in the system installation procedure on
pages 16 to 21.
Also note that configuration updates periodically require that you reset the OAT100R. Make
sure to reset the unit when directed to do so.
There are three options for communicating with the OAT100R.
• When the OAT100R is connected to an IP network, you can use a standard Internet
browser to communicate with the OAT100R via a graphical user interface (GUI).
• When the OAT100R is connected to an IP network, you can also use an SSH client to
communicate with the OAT100R via a command line interface.
• To establish a direct connection to the OAT100R, connect a PC to the serial port on the
OAT100R using the FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ). Plug the USB end of the
cable into an open USB port on your PC. If necessary, install the device driver. Plug the
other end of the cable into the Service Port jack on the OAT100R rear panel.
Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation program on the PC, configure the
serial port as follows:
− Bits per second/baud = 115200
− Data bits = 8
− Parity = None
− Stop bits = 1
− Flow Control = None
OAT100R configuration options via web GUI are described on pages 23 to 38; OAT100R
configuration options via command line are described on pages 39 to 67. For security and
control purposes, some options available from the command line menus are not available
from the GUI.
You will need to know the “admin” user password in order to log in to either the web GUI or
the command line interface. The default admin user password is “Password4Partners” (case-
sensitive). If necessary, for example, if the password has been changed from its default value,
consult the system administrator to obtain the current admin user password.
Note: The default network setting for the OAT100R is DHCP, in which case the server
assigns an IP address to the OAT100R. If necessary, consult the network administrator to
obtain the IP address that has been assigned to the OAT100R.
Note: If you want to connect the PC directly to the OAT100R Control Port using an Ethernet
CAT5E cable, in order to establish communication you must first connect the PC to the
OAT100R Service Port and set the OAT100R’s IP address (see “Configure the Control Port”
on page 52). The OAT100R’s IP address must be on the same subnet as the PC’s IP address.

CATV frequency allocation standards.
Typical RF Output Configuration Fields
IP Output Configuration
a) For each IP channel stream, type the appropriate
multicast IP address and port number in the IP
Address and IP Port fields, respectively.
Note: If you would like the OAT100R to auto-
increment IP channels from a base multicast
IP address, you will need to complete output IP
channel configuration from the command line
interface. See “Configure the IP Output” on pages
56 to 59 for further information.
b) (Optional) In the TTL field, specify the number
of hops allowed before the multicast data is
dropped. If a router is being used on the system,
the TTL value should be the number of router
hops + 1. If a router is not being used, leave the
TTL set to 1 (default).
Typical IP Output Configuration Fields
Note: The option to set the TTL is available only
with OAT100R version 2.0 or later software.
3. When you have completed the fields as required, click on
the Set button below the Start RF Channel field or below
the last IP Port field, as applicable.

Date and Time Configuration
By default, the OAT100R is synchronized with an NTP server and configured for the US Central
time zone. If the OAT100R is connected to the Internet, the NTP client will periodically update
the time setting on the OAT100R. If the OAT100R is not connected to the Internet, you also
have the option to disable NTP synchronization and specify date and time data manually.
1. Click on the down arrow at the right of the Time Zone field in the Time Configuration
section of the System Setup screen, and select the appropriate time zone from the drop-
down list of options.
2. Select the appropriate NTP setting—Enable or Disable—by clicking the radio button at the
left of the appropriate option.
Note: Per your selection, certain of the Time Configuration fields will become inaccessible/
grayed out. If NTP is enabled, Data and Time fields will be grayed out; if NTP is disabled,
the NTP Server field will be grayed out.
3. The next step depends on whether you enabled or disabled NTP:
• If you enabled NTP, type the IP address of the NTP server in the NTP Server field.
• If you disabled NTP, complete the Date and Time fields to manually specify the date and
time for the OAT100R. Click on the down arrow at the right of each field (Year, Month,
Day, Hour, Minute) to select the appropriate value from the drop-down list of options.
4. When you have completed the fields as required, click on the Set button at the bottom of
the Time Configuration section.
If you successfully changed the OAT100R time configuration, the system will display

To reset the previous, i.e., last stored, tuner/output assignments, click on the Reset button at
the bottom of the Stream column. The tuner/output assignments will be reset immediately.
Modify Tuner/Output Assignments
This option enables you to reconfigure tuner/output assignments. Note that each tuner can
only be assigned to one output stream. For example: If Tuner 1 is currently streaming on
Stream 1, you cannot map Tuner 1 to any additional streams. To remap Tuner 1 to a new
stream, you must assign a different tuner to Stream 1.
1. Click on the down arrow at the right of each Tuner field you wish to reassign, and select
from the drop-down list of options the appropriate tuner number or N/C (no connection) for

Configure Tuner/Output Assignments
This option enables you to reconfigure tuner/output assignments. Note that each tuner can
only be assigned one output stream. If you remap an existing stream assignment to another
tuner, the initial assignment will be disconnected.
For example: If Tuner 1 is currently streaming on Output 1, and Tuner 2 is remapped so that
it is streaming on Output 1, the initial Tuner 1 assignment will be disconnected. If all tuners
are currently assigned to output streams, Tuner 1 will now be assigned the output that was
previously assigned to Tuner 2. If Tuner 2 initially had “no connection” status before it was
remapped to Output 1, Tuner 1 will now have “no connection” status.
If you wish to remap an existing stream to another tuner, it is recommended that you first
modify the output assignment of the stream in question to “no connection” before you reassign
the stream as required.

Troubleshooting
OAT100R Setup
The following sections provide basic troubleshooting information for the OAT100R.
Equipment Setup Review
• Make sure all connectors and connections are tight and secure on all entertainment system
components.
• Check the OAT100R PWR LED. Under standard operating conditions, the PWR (Power)
LED on the OAT100R front panel is continuously lit green. If there is a hardware fault, the
PWR LED will turn and stay red.
Note: When power is first applied to the OAT100R, the PWR LED initially flashes red and
then turns green.
• Check the OAT100R STATUS LED. When the OAT100R is booted and operating normally,
the STATUS LED is continuously lit green.
Network Setup
If the network is configured for DHCP but the OAT100R has not been assigned an IP
address, i.e., the Ctrl IP field in the OAT100R System Information display is blank:
1. Check the Control Port connector on the rear panel of the OAT100R. Make sure the cable
connection is tight and secure.
2. Observe the green LED on the Control Port. Once the OAT100R is connected to the
network, the LED will be lit continuously.
3. Contact the network administrator to verify the network status and check that the DHCP
server is working properly.

OAT100R Communication
If you are unable to establish communication with the OAT100R either via the web GUI or
the command line interface, refer to the following flow chart.
Cannot Communicate
with OAT100R
To verify the OAT100R IP address:
• If DHCP is enabled, check the router for DHCP IP address
assignments to determine whether the proper IP address is being
used to communicate with the OAT100R.
Check that the proper IP
address for the OAT100R is
being targeted. If necessary,
adjust and then reattempt
communication.
• If DHCP is not enabled, connect a PC to the OAT100R Service
Port, display the System Information, and ensure the IP address
shown in the Ctrl IP field is the IP address being used to
communicate with the OAT100R. If necessary, update the Control
Port configuration as described in this document.

End
No
Note: For example, if the OAT100R is configured
with IP address: 192.168.1.x and network mask:
255.255.255.0, the PC’s IP address cannot be:
192.168.2.x. Also, make sure that the OAT100R and
PC IP addresses are not on the 192.168.0.x subnet,
which is reserved for internal communication.
Ensure your PC’s IP address
is on the same subnet as the
OAT100R’s IP address. If
necessary, adjust and then
reattempt communication.

To verify OAT100R RF output:
• Use a spectrum analyzer to observe the RF OUT port on the
OAT100R rear panel. The channel power should be approximately
-6 dBm (+42 dBmV), and the 6 MHz modulation channel should be
flat.
• Use a spectrum analyzer to observe the receiver signal with the
OAT100R connected to the distribution system. Channel power
should be greater than -48 dBm (0 dBmV), and the 6 MHz
modulation channel should be flat.
If necessary, correct and
verify any output issues; e.g.,
adjust the signal level at RF
OUT, use the PC/network
analyzer to adjust IP traffic on
the network, etc.
• Use a spectrum analyzer to observe the receiver signal with the
OAT100R disconnected from the distribution system. Channel
power should be at noise floor, and the 6 MHz modulation channel
should be free of noise.
To verify OAT100R IP output:
• Ensure the connected device is 1000BaseT, Full Duplex.
• Observe the LEDs on the OAT100R Feature Port. When the amber
LED is lit continuously (solid ON), the OAT100R is operating/
streaming normally.**
