Chapter 2 Using DMPDM
Configuring Settings
After you click Apply, the entries or changes take effect. However, the previously defined values will
return the next time that your DMP restarts.
Step 4 (Optional) To put all changed values into effect permanently, so that they persist even after your DMP
restarts, select Administration
> Save Configuration and, when the Save Configuration page appears,
click Save.
Step 5 Restart your DMP. See Restarting Your DMP, page 2-22.
Ta ble 2-1 GUI Elements on the Basic Page
Element Description
Startup URLs
Video The URL or local path that points to an encoded digital video file that your DMP should load
automatically and show immediately after every restart. (The video file must be encoded in a way
that your DMP supports; see
Limited Support for MPEG-4, page 1-6.) The URL or pathname
cannot contain any more than 254 characters, cannot contain any spaces, and must use
ISO/IEC-8859
(Latin-1) character encoding. The value that you enter is case-sensitive.
Supported transport protocols and URL types are as follows:
http://<ip_address>/<path_and_filename>
udp://<ip_address_of_multicast_server>/<port_number>
file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_1/<path_and_filename> For files on the internal SD memory card
file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_2/<path_and_filename> For files on a mounted USB flash drive
Note To simulate an audio-only file (given that we do not support their use directly), create an
MPEG-2 file that contains all of the audio data that you want to play and contains just one
frame of video data.
Browser The HTTP URL of any document that the embedded browser should load automatically and show
immediately after each restart. For example, the URL that you enter might point to an HTML page
with an embedded Flash file that animates the logo for your organization. The URL cannot contain
any more than 254 characters, cannot contain any spaces, and must use ISO/IEC-8859
(Latin-1)
character encoding.
Tip We recommend that you do not point to any document or site that requires human
interaction to be useful, interesting, or entertaining, because there is no keyboard or mouse
that you can use to interact with what you show on your DMP
display.
Network Configuration
DMP MAC Address An uneditable representation of the MAC address that is associated with the NIC in your DMP.
Dynamic IP Addressing
(DHCP)
Indicates whether your DMP uses a static IP address or a dynamic IP address. Options in the list
are as follows:
EnabledYour DMP uses a dynamic IP address that it obtained from a DHCP server.
DisabledYour DMP uses a static IP address.
IP Address The IP address that is assigned to your DMP.
Note If your DHCP server changes the IP address assignment for a centrally managed DMP while
the DMP is running, instead of waiting for the DMP to restart, you must restart the DMP.
Otherwise, you cannot use DMM-DSM to centrally manage that DMP.
Subnet Mask The IPv4 netmask that the DMP-local network segment uses.
