The MTX5000 Indoor Unit (IDU) contains a central processor used to control all functions and operations of the system. To avoid potential software hang-ups or software corruption, please read and follow the guidelines contained in the following paragraphs. Avoid Potential Operational Problems on page 3-7 to power down and power up the MTX5000. Always wait a minimum of 10 seconds between powering the radio down and then powering the radio up again. • After cycling power to off and back to on, perform “Select Preset” on page 3-24 to select the proper Preset. Then verify proper transmitter operation by transmitting and receiving. • If the radio is still unable to transmit or remains unstable, contact MRC Technical Support for assistance. Improper Power Up/Power Down Information contained in the following paragraphs identify potential problems that can be avoided by reading and following the operating procedures provided in this manual. To avoid potential operational problems, please review the information contained in the “Routine Operation” Chapter on page 3-1. The Routine Operation Chapter contains step-by-step procedures that, when performed correctly, will eliminate potential problems that could be caused by operator error or by lack of experience with the MTX5000 system. If the radio is unable to transmit, is unstable, or if the software appears to be corrupted, the Preset may have been selected or changed too soon after power was applied or the wrong Preset was selected. • Always wait a minimum of 5 seconds after the Main screen is displayed following power up before selecting a Preset. • If the wrong Preset is selected, you must wait a minimum of 5 seconds before attempting to select another Preset. Failure to wait 5 seconds minimum between Preset selections will cause software hang-ups. Radio Unable to Transmit or Generally Unstable • If the radio is unable to transmit or is generally unstable, perform “Select Preset” on page 3-24 to select or reselect the proper Preset. Then verify proper transmitter operation by transmitting and receiving. If the radio is unable to transmit, is unstable, or if the software appears to be corrupted, power to the radio may have been removed and reapplied too quickly. • If the radio remains unstable, it may be necessary to cycle power off and on. See ”Powering the MTX5000 System” The MTX5000 central processor requires a minimum of 10 seconds to properly shutdown to avoid possible software corruption. MTX5000 User and Technical Manual NOTE TO USER • Software corruption can occur if the external input power to the radio was momentarily lost and was then reapplied without waiting a minimum of 10 seconds between loss of power and reapplication of input power. Radio State Incorrect • The problem may also occur if the power switch was pressed to off and back to on without waiting a minimum of 10 seconds. If the radio state is incorrect, the correct Preset may not have been selected. Select the proper Preset per “Select Preset” on page 3-24. • To avoid problems, always wait a minimum of 10 seconds between removal or loss of power and reapplication of power to the radio. PA Voltage Adjust Setup Software Hang-up • The problem may also occur if the progress bar was displayed when power was removed from the radio. Always ensure the progress bar is not displayed on the color LCD display panel when power is removed from the radio. If this problem has occurred, press the power switch to off, wait 10 seconds minimum, and press the power switch to on. The internal processor will attempt to perform a self-recovery of the software. • • • During the software recovery attempt, a progress bar will be displayed on the color LCD display panel indicating the progress of the process. This progress bar will take more time to reach 100% than during a normal power up. Do not become impatient during the software recovery process due to the time it may take for recovery. Do not remove and reapply power while the progress bar is displayed during the software selfrecovery process. Software corruption will occur! When the power up is complete and the Main screen is displayed on the color LCD display panel, verify proper transmitter operation by transmitting and receiving. MTX5000 User and Technical Manual • If the software is corrupted and the Main screen is not displayed, contact MRC Technical Support for assistance. When performing “Perform PA Voltage Adjust Setup” on page 344, ensure the Outdoor Unit (ODU) is properly connected to the IDU. If the ODU is not connected to the IDU and you attempt to perform this procedure, the software will hang up. • To avoid software hang-up, always ensure the ODU is connected to the IDU when performing the PA Voltage Adjust Setup procedure. • Check the Main screen ODU status indicator. If a major fault exists in the ODU, do not perform the PA Voltage Adjust Setup procedure until the fault has been corrected or until the ODU is connected to the IDU. • If the ODU is not connected to the IDU or if the ODU has suffered a failure, the PA Voltage Adjust Setup Screen will remain displayed on the color LCD display panel if the PA Voltage Adjust Setup screen Start option button is selected. If the software hangs up due to the ODU not being connected to the IDU or if the ODU has failed, perform the following: • Press the power switch to off. • Connect the ODU to the IDU or go to “Troubleshooting” on page 4-1 to correct the fault. NOTE TO USER ii • Press the power switch to on, perform “Select Preset” on page 3-24 to select the proper Preset. to perform “Select Preset” on page 3-24. Then verify proper transmitter operation by transmitting and receiving. • “Perform PA Voltage Adjust Setup” on page 3-44 and then verify proper transmitter operation by transmitting and receiving. If the software is no longer corrupted, perform “Firmware Update” on page 5-114 to verify that you have the latest software installed in your MTX5000 IDU. Update the software, as required. RF Levels Too High If the software is corrupted or if the Main screen is not displayed, contact MRC Technical Support for assistance. If the transmitted RF levels are too high, “Perform RF Level Adjust” on page 3-49. Color Bar Generator Operations Software Recovery If the software becomes corrupted, the MTX5000 IDU will attempt to self-recover the software. During the software selfrecovery, the previously configured parameters may be recovered - not the latest parameters. This may happen if a fault occurs when installing software updates. If the software becomes corrupted, press the power switch to off, wait 10 seconds minimum, and press the power switch to on. The internal processor will attempt to perform a self-recovery of the software. • • • During the software recovery attempt, a progress bar will be displayed on the color LCD display panel indicating the progress of the recovery process. This progress bar may take considerably more time to reach 100% than during a normal power up. Do not become impatient during the software recovery process due to the time it may take for recovery. Do not remove and reapply power while the progress bar is displayed during the software recovery process. Software corruption will occur! When the power up is complete and the Main screen is displayed on the color LCD display panel, you may need MTX5000 User and Technical Manual All MTX5000 Indoor Units (IDU) contain a built-in digital Color Bar Generator (CBG) as standard equipment. The IDU is also available with an optional analog CBG. Potential operator problems can occur when using the optional analog CBG or the built-in digital CBG. Potential operator-induced problems may include the following: • Selection of the CBG On operating mode during test, troubleshooting, or CBG setup and failure to select the Off, A Gen, or A Stby operating mode for normal operation when test, troubleshooting, or CBG setup is completed. • Selection of the CBG On, A Gen, or A Stby operating mode when the optional Analog Color Bar Generator is not installed in the MTX5000 IDU.

Procedures required to control the MTX5000 system using either a Windows-based laptop PC, the optional Windows-based Remote Access Subnotebook PC, or a Windows-based PC at a remote location are identical. 2.6.4 Antenna Options The MTX5000 system is fully compatible with a variety of antennas, including: • • MRC Ellipse 2000 • MRC OmniPole Omnidirectional. Switching functions for band and antenna polarization are controlled from the front panel of the IDU. If your installation involves more than one antenna, this can be easily accommodated by using an MRC RF Switch. The RF Switch is also controlled from the front panel of the IDU. 2.6.5 Band and Frequency Options The MTX5000 system is designed to cover one or more bands. It can be ordered as a single-band unit or as a dual-band configuration to cover the following bands. • 2 GHz (17 MHz) • 2 GHz (12 MHz) • 7 GHz Lower. Band and frequency information is stored in the RFU, which means switching bands after installation is very simple: just plug in the RFU for the new band and the IDU will automatically configure itself for the new band. Within these bands, channels can be pre-programmed at the factory to match either the U.S. broadcast channel plan or a plan specified by the customer. MRC ProStar, models 2.7 The MTX5000 system provides several antenna configuration options to transmit using either an omni antenna or a directional antenna, in either single-band or dual-band operation. 2A20 and 2A20SS (2 GHz) 7A30 and 7A30SS (7 GHz) 2A20/7A30 (dual band 2 & 7 GHz) 2A20/7A30SS (dual band 2 & 7 GHz, solid state switching) MTX5000 User and Technical Manual Product Description System Configurations 2-8 2.7.1 Single-Band/Dual Antenna Transmission The antenna configuration for single-band transmission using either an omni antenna or a directional antenna with one IDU and one ODU is shown in Figure 2-9.

As with a personal computer, it takes time for the internal software to become initialized and the Main screen to be displayed. Routine Operation 3-7 When the power switch is pressed to on and power is applied to the MTX5000, a blank display initially appears on the color LCD display panel. After a short delay, the introduction screen will be displayed and a status bar will appear on the introduction screen. Then, after a very short delay, the Main screen will be displayed. Power to the MTX5000 must never be cycled off and on without a minimum delay of 10 seconds between removal of power and application of power. Just like a personal computer, a proper shutdown of the MTX5000 is required to prevent corruption of software. CAUTION The MTX5000 must never be powered down when the progress bar is displayed. The software will become corrupted and the MTX5000 may have to be returned to the factory for repair. immediately or if the power switch is set to off and then to on in less than 10 seconds, the MTX5000 internal software will attempt a self-recovery when the power switch is set to on. During the self-recovery process, the blank screen will initially appear, followed by the introduction screen. The progress bar will appear on the introduction screen, but progress will be much slower than during a normal power up. Do not interrupt the selfrecovery process by cycling power to off and then to on, as software corruption will occur. Power Up The steps required to properly power up the MTX5000 system are contained in the following steps. CAUTION Conversely, power to the MTX5000 must never be cycled to on and then immediately to off, as corruption of software contained in the radio may also occur. The MTX5000 must only be powered down when the Main screen is displayed. CAUTION Internal software corruption may occur if power is applied immediately after a power loss or if the power switch is pressed to off and immediately back to on. To avoid possible software corruption, wait a minimum of 10 seconds before applying power or before pressing the power switch to on. Under no circumstances should you remove and re-apply power to the MTX5000 when the progress bar is displayed during a selfrecovery. The software will become corrupted and the MTX5000 may have to be returned to the factory for repair.

Advanced Operations 5-1 5.2.1 MTX5000 The procedures described in this chapter assume you already know how to operate your MTX5000. If this is not the case, please review the information presented in the following Chapters of this manual: “Introduction” Chapter on page 1-1 “Product Description” Chapter on page 2-1 “Routine Operation” Chapter on page 3-1 5.2.2 CAUTION Do not power down the MTX5000 system when the software update progress bar is displayed, as the software update can become corrupted. CAUTION Do not attempt to perform IDU software updates or make changes to Preset settings while the MTX5000 system is actively transmitting. Software This chapter assumes the MTX5000 software is operating properly on your MTX5000 and that you are familiar with the MTX5000 color LCD display panel screens, touch panel, and function keys. You must also be familiar with both Local and Remote operations. 5.2.3 Settings Before beginning to create, modify, or program a Preset configuration or channel plan into your MTX5000, you must define what settings are required. 5.2.4 Attempts to program software updates or make changes to Preset settings into the IDU when the system is transmitting will interrupt broadcast operations and may corrupt the software. CAUTION System Rules The IDU does not need to be removed from its rack-mounted position to perform these procedures. The procedures can be performed when the IDU is installed in its normal rack-mounted position. It is important, however, that the MTX5000 must not be transmitting when these procedures are performed. When performing procedures contained in this Chapter, you must observe the following CAUTIONS to avoid corrupting software. MTX5000 User and Technical Manual Advanced Operations Avoid damage to the color LCD display panel! The color LCD display panel touch screen may be damaged if a sharp, hard-pointed object, such as a pencil or a pen, is used to select the displayed options. Touch screen options must only be selected using your fingers, a soft-pointed stylus, or the front panel function keys. 5-2 Damage to the color LCD display panel caused by using a hard-pointed object or other misuse may void your warranty on the MTX5000 IDU. When configuring your MTX5000 IDU, the following rules must be observed: • You can only select configuration settings applicable to the hardware configuration and the licensed options contained in your MTX5000 IDU. • The MTX5000 IDU must not be placed in the transmit mode when performing any procedures contained in this Chapter. 5.2.5 Configuration Settings option will be inactive (greyed-out) on the IDU color LCD display. If you are preparing a new Preset in the Remote mode and the licensed option is not contained in your IDU, a message window indicating This preset cannot be selected. will be displayed on the remote PC display. Only licensed options contained in your IDU may be used to prepare new custom user Presets. Once a Preset configuration is created or changed, it should be saved. The IDU will remember the last operating state, but there is no guarantee that it will remember the state unless the Preset configuration settings are saved into the Preset list. The steps required to save the settings are contained in the applicable procedures. 5.3 CAUTION New configuration settings can be prepared from scratch using an existing factory default Preset or from a custom user Preset. The factory default Presets and your custom user Presets must be used as “make-froms” to prepare any new Preset from scratch. Preset configuration settings may be prepared in either the Local or Remote operating mode. Other advanced operations must be performed in the Local mode only. Custom user Presets can also be modified, as required. Your MTX5000 IDU was delivered with 10 factory default Presets. The factory default Presets cannot be changed or deleted from your IDU. When preparing a new Preset, you must first select a Preset to be used as a “make-from” to prepare the new Preset configuration. If a factory Preset is inactive, the licensed option is not contained in your IDU. If you are preparing a new Preset configuration in the Local mode and the licensed option is not contained in your IDU, the MTX5000 User and Technical Manual Local Mode Password Control Advanced Operations Avoid damage to the color LCD display panel! The color LCD display panel touch screen may be damaged if a sharp, hard-pointed object, such as a pencil or a pen, is used to select the displayed options. Touch screen options must only be selected using your fingers, a soft-pointed stylus, or the front panel function keys. Damage to the color LCD display panel caused by using a hard-pointed object or other misuse may void your warranty on the MTX5000 IDU. 5-3 The MTX5000 IDU provides password control of the system to prevent unauthorized personnel from making changes to Preset settings. Local mode password control of the system may only be performed with the MTX5000 IDU in the Local mode of operation. All passwords are case-sensitive. The MTX5000 IDU is delivered with a default password. When your IDU is received from the factory, the default password is PASSWORD. The default password should be changed to your own personal password upon receipt of the MTX5000 System. Your new password should be recorded and should be maintained in a secure location. The procedure required to change the default or current password to another password of your choice is contained in the following steps. Note 1. 2. In the following steps, the color LCD display option buttons and pull-down menu options may be selected using either the touch screen or the function keys and the SEL key.

Damage to the color LCD display panel caused by using a hard-pointed object or other misuse may void your warranty on the MTX5000 IDU. The procedures required to create or update Preset configuration settings in the Local mode are contained in the following paragraphs. Preset configuration settings may be created or updated for the following types of Presets: • Analog FMT Presets • Digital COFDM Presets • Digital ASI Presets • Digital LMS-T Presets Advanced Operations 5-6 • Digital DVB-S Presets • Digital IP Presets. Please note that an External IF In Preset is also available for normal operation using the factory default External IF In Preset, but no configuration settings may be made to this Preset. No procedures are therefore applicable or are provided in this chapter for External IF In Presets. 5.4.1 Create or Update Custom Analog Preset Configuration In Local Mode The procedure required to create a new custom analog Preset configuration or to update an existing Preset configuration is contained in the following steps. When preparing a new analog Preset, you must first select an existing analog Preset from either one of the analog factory default Presets or from your custom user analog Presets. The selected Preset will be used as a “make-from” to prepare the new analog Preset configuration. Please note that while factory default analog Presets may be used to prepare a new Preset configuration, these factory default Presets cannot be changed or deleted. They can only be used as “make-froms”. When the new configuration is prepared using the factory default Preset, it cannot be saved with the factory Preset number or Preset name. A new Preset number and Preset name must be assigned to the new Preset. When using a custom Preset as a “make-from”, the new Preset should be saved with a new Preset number. When you save the new Preset, the Preset number will automatically be increased to the next available Preset number. MTX5000 User and Technical Manual If you select an existing Preset number when saving the new Preset, the original custom Preset will be overwritten and cannot be recovered. The only way to restore a Preset that has been overwritten is to re-enter the custom Preset data from scratch. If you are updating configuration settings on an existing custom user Preset, when you save the configuration settings, the Preset number will automatically be increased to the next available Preset number. You must enter and save the configuration settings using the original Preset number. Note 1. 2.
