Welcome to your iPump Media Server/Store and Forward
Receiver !
Your Wegener iPump is an advanced multimedia appliance that allows simple, efficient management of both live and recorded digital video, audio, and data content. With a single unit, you can receive, decode, and play out broadcast-quality transmissions while receiving and recording multiple programs or IP data files from a satellite or TCP/IP connection. Along with our
Compel MediaPlan ® software, you can insert content into real-time or recorded programs and can schedule playback of custom sequences of live and recorded content. This Quick Start Guide will help you quickly set up and start operating your iPump. For a full description of the iPump's abilities and detailed installation and operation instructions, please consult the iPump User's Reference Manual available on the worldwide web at wegener.com. For additional help, contact us by phone at (770) 814-4057, by fax at (678) 624-0294, or by email at [email protected].
1. Remove your iPump, ac power cord, and bagged accessories from the shipping carton. Call your shipping carrier immediately if any damage is discovered.
2. Place your iPump indoors on a well-supported, flat table or desktop or mount it in a standard equipment rack. If rackmounting your iPump, please consult the iPump User's
Reference Manual for detailed instructions and specific cautions.
