Installing the Inseego cellular internet modem
Installing the DCDC CS1 server
Installing the Wattbox smart power device
Configuring the Theatre Management System (TMS) so that it connects to the DCDC Server
Taking photographs of the installed equipment

Install the DCDC Server into Your Existing Rack

The best location for the DCDC Server is as close to the TMS switch as possible, with an outlet close by. The most ideal place is to install it in the same rack as the TMS switch.
The server only requires two rack screws. The screw locations are indicated by the yellow circles in the picture below.

The best location for the DCDC Server is as close to the TMS switch as possible, with an outlet close by. The most ideal place is to install it in the same rack as the TMS switch.
Once you screw the server to the rack, plug the power cord to the back of the Server, but do not plug the power into an outlet yet.

Install the Inseego Cellular Internet Modem

Unbox the Inseego Modem

When you first plug in the modem, it will run a software update, which may take up to 30 minutes. During this time the LED indicator light on the front of the unit will flash yellow.
After 30 minutes, if the LED indicator does not blink or show a steady color of green or blue, report your findings to dcdc@cinesend.com.

Here is a legend of the LED indicators for the Inseego modem:
