Detecting and Setting Up the Initial IP Address

Once power has been applied to the unit, an IP address must beassigned either automatically thru DHCP or manually thru the

TNET200s web interface. All TNET200s equipped with a harddrive are shipped with a Static IP Address of 192.168.0.10. ThisIP address can be changed as follow:

Connect the TNET200 to a computer with the same sub-net (192.168.0.XXX) and subnet mask set to2545.255.255.0

Start the computers browser and enter 192.168.0.10

The TNET200s main web page will appear; select theConfigure tab and the following page will appear

Set the desired IP address, Subnet Mask, and DefaultGateway and document

Select Submit and Restart to reboot the unit for the newIP Address to take effect

Remote view sessions can either be open access or hosted. Openaccess allows anyone the ability to begin and control a remoteview session. Hosted limits the control of a remote view session to

one person, the host. If a remote view session is hosted, you mustlog in as either a participant or the host.

Note: The network administrator configures the Remote View

control page to open access or hosted. This is done using theConfiguration control page.

First Time Setup

The first time you use remote view, you must download and installthe VNC software and change the password. You can downloadthis software directly from the Remote View control page. Thispage allows you to select the appropriate VNC version for youroperating system. The procedure to download and install VNC isthe same for both remote view open access sessions and remoteview hosted sessions.

The following image displays an example of the Remote View

control page (open access):

Media Player

Prior to using the media player a playlist must be set up from thePlaylist Setup page. Playlist entries may contain audio, video,and picture files from the TNET200s hard drive, networked PCs,or networked Servers. Playlists may also contain websites,tuner/encoder controls, remote view controls, RS232 displaycontrols, scheduling, and media download commands. Eachnetworked PC or Server being accessed must have anAccelerator client installed and running. This Accelerator clientcan be downloaded from the Playlist Setup page. Media may beplaced on the TNET200s hard drive by selecting the EBS-N200File Management button located on the Playlist Setup page.

One playlist may be designated as a default playlist and will run

automatically at power-up. The TNET200 ships with a defaultplaylist set to /usr/playlists/Global Playlist.

The Media Playerpage is divides into the following panels

accessible through tabs at the top of the page:

Player Commands Player Preferences

Player Commands

The Player Commands tab ofMedia Playercontrol pagecontains a Now Playing status section and a player controls

section.

The Now Playing status window indicates the current active

Playlist and Clip. If nothing is displayed then no Playlist and Clipare active.

The Media Playercontrols section allows you to select an existing

set of audio or video files, called playlists, and play them on adisplay. Additionally, you can select to play only a specific file in aplaylist. To create a new playlist or edit an existing playlist, usethe Playlist Setup control page.

Player Preferences

The Player Preferences tab ofMedia Playercontrol pagecontains a Master Volume control and Deinterlaced checkbox.

The Master Volume slider controls the volume level out of theTNET200 itself. This is different from the volume control locatedon the Display Control control page which controls the volume of

the connected display device. The Master Volume control isuseful in applications where a pair of powered speakers are beingdriven directly.

The Deinterlaced checkbox allows the video output to be

deinterlaced, thereby improving video quality if the video contentitself was interlaced. The Deinterlaced checkbox should not beselected for video which is already deinterlaced since it maycreate visible video artifacts. This feature is particularly useful inapplications using the TNET-210 Network Tuner/Encoder wherethe source video is interlaced.

Accelerator

The Accelerator is a Windows application serving streamingaudio, video and picture files from a networked computer to theTNET200 for display. Accelerator use is recommended for all Fileon Network playlist entries with the exception of ppt, pps, pdf,

htm, html, and swf files which are not currently supported by theaccelerator. The Accelerator software facilitates network securityissues and improves streaming performance on networks withlarge amounts of network traffic.

The Accelerator software must be installed and running on eachnetworked computer being utilized as a media server. You candownload the Accelerator by clicking the Download Accelerator

link in the bottom-center portion of the page. The Accelerator isdownloaded in the form of a self-extracting executable. Afterdownloading, extract the Accelerator to a directory of your choiceand run it.

Note:

1. If a playlist contains any accelerated entries, theAccelerator must be running on the networked PC/serverwhen the playlist is being played

Section 1 Control

[Control] -- TitleScheduleOn = time[,repeatRate]ScheduleOff = relativeTimeImage= f i lename

The ScheduleOn time is the time (encoded 64 bit number) atwhich the playlist is to start. A second optional parameter,repeatRate is used to determine how often this playlist is torepeat. The default is 0, which equates to a looping playlist. Therepeat rate is preceded by a letter denoting time unit used: S for

seconds, M for minutes, H for hours, D for days, W for weeks. Forexample, to specify 10 minutes, use M10.

The optional ScheduleOff time is the time to turn the playlist offafter relativeTime. The format of this value is the same asRepeat Rate above.

The Image option points to a file that represents the playlist,example DVD playlist in which this image points to a jpeg of thecover. This is optional.

The Loop option jumps to the top of the playlist, and runs theplaylist from the beginning again without any interruption.

Section 2 List

[List]

EntryN= FILE,f i lename[,durat ion][, type]

This entry instructs the play engine to present the file given to themonitor connected to the RGB connection. The main purpose ofthis is for the Play Engine to determine which display method isused to present the information. The Duration, in units selectableby the first character (S30 = 30 seconds, M10 = 10 minutes, H3 =

3 hours, D1 = one day, W2 = two weeks) , is used to determinehow long the item is to be displayed. The Type option representsthe format of the file, see Table 1 for the supported types. ThePlay Engine will determine file type by file extension; the Typeoption can be used to override default handling. If filename beginswith string tcp://, the accelerator software will be used to servethe file.

Screen Saver- The Screen Saver Mode places the display intoan internal Screen Saver Mode, i.e. ORBIT, INVERSE SCREEN,etc. The mode is an index into a ScreenSaver table that has thevarious mode supported by the display. The default is ON. Todisable the Screen Saver mode the value of OFF is used as theoptional value.

Input - The Input command selects the input for which the display

used for video input. The number is an index into the Input Tablewhich is setup via the website.

Power- The Power command powers the display either On or Off

depending on the state of the option. The default option is ON.

Pause - This command pauses the current playlist. To resume

the playlist from this state is to receive a Trigger command froman external source.

Switch - The Switch command allows the linking of playlists. The

execution of this command changes the active playlist. A secondoption, index is used to determine the entry point, or the start ofexecution of the given playlist. The default Index is 0, thebeginning of the playlist.

Delay - This commands allows the playlist to wait time described

by time unit and a number before executing the next commandline in the List Section. This is useful command for example uponpowering up the display, the picture may not be visible for severalseconds, so the playlist must be delayed for the screen to warm-up.
