Preparations forUsing the NetworkFunctionsThe BKM-FW50 can be connected to anetwork with 10BASE-T/100BASE-TXLAN cable.When connected to a LAN, the IPaddresses of the BKM-FW50 can be setusing one of the following two methods.Consult your network administratorregarding details about IP address selection.• Assigning a fixed IP address to the

BKM-FW50Normally this method should be used.

• Automatically obtaining an IPaddressIf the network to which the BKM-FW50is connected has a DHCP server, you canhave the DHCP server automaticallyassign an IP address. Note that in thiscase the IP address will change everytime the display in which the BKM-FW50 is installed is turned on.

Assigning a fixed IP addressto the BKM-FW50

Note that a separate IP address is necessaryfor the display control function and for thestill image/video playback function.Regarding details of IP address selection,consult your network administrator.

Setting an IP address for thedisplay control functionFirst, assign an IP address to the displaycontrol function, using the followingprocedure. The IP address assigned in thisway is used for calling the display controlfunction of the BKM-FW50 from acomputer on the network. Also consult theoperating instructions of the display.

1 Connect the BKM-FW50 installed inthe display to the network, usingsuitable LAN cable.

2 Turn power to the display on andwait for about 30 seconds.

3 Press the MENU button on thedisplay to bring up the main menu.

4 Use the M/m buttons to select“INITIAL SETUP/INFORMATION”and press the ENTER button. The“INITIAL SETUP/INFORMATION”menu appears.

2) Use the M/m buttons or thenumeric buttons on the remotecontrol to enter a three-digitnumber (0 - 255). When youpress the ENTER button or the, button, the cursor moves tothe next field on the right. Enter anumber in the same way.

3) When all four fields of an itemhave been set, pressing theENTER button or the , buttonconfirms the entry for that item.

4) Make settings for the other itemsin the same way.

8 Use the M/m buttons to select“Execute” and press the ENTERbutton.

Next, assign an IP address to the stillimage/video playback function.

Setting an IP address for the stillimage/video playback function

7 Use the M/m buttons to select“Execute” and press the ENTERbutton.

Note

The IP address may not be obtainedcorrectly, depending on the router beingused. Confirm the specifications andoperations of the router before use.

Checking the automaticallyassigned IP addressWhen an IP address has been automaticallyassigned, you can call up the displaycontrol screen of the BKM-FW50 asfollows and check which IP address hasbeen assigned. The IP address changes eachtime power to the display is turned on.Therefore you must check the IP address asdescribed here every time after turningpower to the display off and on again.



3 Use the M/m buttons to select“INFORMATION” and press theENTER button.

4 Check the IP address that is displayedin the “IP address” field.

Scheduling playback by time table

When you create a time table and perform scheduled playback of still image or video files,some files may not be played back, depending on the content of the schedule. When creatinga time table, you can specify any time slot from 0:00 (midnight of the current day) to 35:59(11:59 a.m. the next day) as the playback time of the still image or video files. If the playbacktime for certain files is set for the next day (24:00 to 35:59), it may be superseded by theplayback time of files scheduled by time table to start that day. As a rule, playback scheduledfor the current day is given priority in this case, and files held over from the previous day arenot played back.

Note

If the display is set for automatic power off, the display will turn off automatically at thespecified time, even if content is playing back.
