Cisco Systems 1.1 Understanding DMP Modes of Operation, Supported Attributes for Digital Video

Chapter 1 Introduction

Understanding DMP Modes of Operation

Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.

Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, because heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Understanding DMP Modes of Operation

You can use any DMP device in isolation, so that it operates independently of every other DMP, or you can combine multiple DMPs in a digital signage network. If you purchased more than three DMP devices, we recommend that you deploy them as endpoints in a digital signage network that you can manage centrally.

If you deploy any DMP in isolation, you use DMPDM to configure the DMP and control every aspect of its daily operation.

If you deploy your DMPs in a digital signage network, you use DMM-DSM to configure the DMPs and control most aspects of their daily operation. The centralized management features in DMM-DSM support many more options than DMPDM supports and can help you to reduce your administrative overhead if you manage multiple DMPs.
