2 Finding a Suitable Location to Set Up Your DMP The site where you set up a DMP must be within 6 feet of an AC electrical outlet (socket), with voltage that is standard in your locale, between 100V and 240V. To understand the supported lengths for different video cable types, see the “Connecting to a DMP Display” section on page 8.

Step 1 Plug one end of an ordinary Ethernet cable into the Ethernet 10/100 port on the back of the DMP chassis. Step 2 Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into a network hub, network switch, or router that participates in a DHCP network. 4 Connecting to a DMP Display We recommend that you use a digital display, not analog. For the type of digital display, we recommend LCD, not plasma. Digital signage uses static images more often than it uses full-motion video. Most often, content

To attach an analog display to your DMP, we recommend that you use the provided composite/RCA cable for both video and audio. Step 1 On the back of your DMP chassis, do one of the following: If you will connect your DMP to a digital display that has an HDMI interface, plug the male end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI interface on your DMP. If you will connect your DMP to one of the recommended NEC display models that does not have an HDMI interface (or a similar display from ano

If you will connect your DMP to an analog display, do all of the following: – Plug one yellow jack on the RCA video cable into the CVBS interface on your DMP. – Plug the 3mm jack on the RCA audio cable into the AUDIO interface on your DMP. Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable (or cables) to the corresponding interface (or interfaces) on your DMP display. Step 3 If the DMP display is not already turned on, turn it on now. 5 Connecting to a 100V–240V AC Socket Warning Use only t

Step 3 Connect to an AC electrical outlet that you know is grounded, and that uses the correct voltage level for your locale. Supported levels range from 100V to 240V. To protect your DMP from electrical surges, we recommend that you use a surge protector or an uninterruptible power supply from a reputable manufacturer. 6 Checking the LEDs The DMP chassis contains a green LED and a red LED. After you attach your DMP to its AC power source, you should see light from both LEDs through th

If you have very few DMPs and will manage each of them in isolation, you can change their DMP Web Account and DMP Service Account passwords manually in DMPDM. You use the Web Service Account when you log in to DMPDM itself, and the DMP Service Account is a user account with FTP login privileges. The DMP Service Account account is available only when the FTP service is enabled on a DMP. Alternatively, if you have many DMPs and will manage them centrally, you can use the fully licensed DM

Note If you just completed the optional Step 4 in this procedure, that means you skipped ahead first and have already completed the “Setting Up Centralized Management” section on page 22. Now that you have completed Step 4 here, however, the changes that you made to credentials will prevent your trusted DMM appliance temporarily from communicating with your DMPs. To restore proper communication, you must now repeat Step 3 in the “Setting Up Centralized Management” section on page 22.
