Local Configuration

Overview

When the Start Mode is configured for Local, the STB will display static listings and previews of multiple channels on the network. These listing are hard-coded in an xml file. This xml file is used for Local mode installations only; it does not apply when operating in MCS mode or Local- Fullscreen mode. (To select Start Mode in the web-based STB configuration application, go to Configuration > Video > Setup > Start Mode.) Examples of the local xml file that contains local mode program information are shown on the following pages. This xml file will need to be modified for each network installation so that IP addresses, port numbers, encoder types and program listings correspond to actual network settings available onsite.

When the Start Mode is set to Local, the STB user interface is defined by the local administrator. The default location of the local user interface is on the STB in /wfs/localUI/ stbLocalUITemplate.htm. This HTML file and the other Javascript, XML, CSS, and image files in /wfs/localUI are provided as a sample user interface that can be customized for your specific requirements. (To change the location of the UI, go to Configuration > Video > Setup > Local UI Location.) The window below shows the interface page (stbLocalUITemplate.htm) after it has been modified with stream data.
