SYSTEM INITIALIZATION
When all system connections (head-end and zones) have been made and
confirmed, connect the AC power cords for the MRC88 and all system devices.
Press the Power Button on the MRC88 Front Panel. The Xantech logo will
illuminate indicating the main power is ON. The Status LEDs (1-8) on the
MRC88 front panel will flash as follows while performing a system status check:
• Slow Orange Blink – Indicates general initialization is occurring.
• Fast Green Blink – Indicates that the keypad(s) on the associated zone is
currently being initialized.
• All Lights Off – Initialization is complete, system is ready for operation.
NOTE: If a fast green blink does not occur on any Status LED, confirm that the
keypad for the associated zone is connected at the MRC88 and at the keypad. If
the keypad is connected, test the CAT5 cable to confirm proper pin-out and
termination. See Section: Preparation – Wiring/Terminating The CAT5
Cables, (Page 10) in this Guide for additional information.
OUT-OF-BOX SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY
A properly installed and connected MRC88 system has a default level of
functionality pre-programmed at the factory. It allows the system to be operated
on a most basic level for the purpose of testing overall system connections and
functionality (keypad, source, speaker, video display connections, etc).
In this default, the keypad buttons that control system operation (ON/OFF,
Volume, Source Select, Mute, etc) will be functional. The other buttons, (CH+,
CH-, Play, Stop, Pause, etc) will still need to be programmed using Xantech
Universal Dragon™ Software in order to be able to control the common sources.
NOTE: If a fast green blink does not occur on any Status LED, confirm that the
keypad for the associated zone is connected at the MRC88 and at the keypad. If
the keypad is connected, test the CAT5 cable to confirm proper pin-out and
termination. See Section: Preparation – Wiring/Terminating The CAT5
