The 10/100 Ethernet Interface on the front can be used to manage the COM1000 System.
4 GETTING STARTED
The COM1000 System is quite a bit different from the DIRECTV set-top box (STB) receiver
traditionally used in these installations. This is because the COM1000 does not natively decode
any audio or video, instead relying upon other devices in the system to decode and display the
MPEG streams it produces. Furthermore, the COM1000 does not have any native user interface.
Controlling and monitoring the COM1000 requires a Windows- based PC, and a web browser of
your choice.
4.1 Setting up Multiple Chassis
For installations that require more than one COM200 chassis each chassis will need to be
assigned a unique chassis ID. This can be done by removing the top cover of the COM200 and
setting the DIP switches located on the backplane as shown in Figure 8.
