Method 2: Configuration using the settings.xml file

ADVANCED: Before editing the settings.xml file, it is recommended that you are familiar with XML (eXtended Markup Language). If you are unfamiliar with XML, you should review pages 45 and 46 before continuing.

1.Open the settings.xml file and locate the <ipConfig> section:

<name value=”Gefen Player” /> <ipConfig>

<ipMode value=”manual” /> <automatic />

<manual>

<ip value=”192.168.2.238” />

<subnet value=”255.255.255.0” /> <gateway value=”0.0.0.0” /> <dns1 value=”4.2.2.2” />

<dns2 value=”8.8.8.8” /> </manual>

</ipConfig>

<osdConfig>

2.DHCP or a static IP address can be used:

a) If DHCP is being used, then set the <ipMode value> tag to automatic . Any information under the <manual> tag will be ignored.

b) If a static IP is being used, then the <ipMode value> tag should be set to the IP address that will be assigned to the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player. In addition, Subnet, Gateway, and DNS server values will need to be specified.

3. Next, locate the <pushConfig> tags:

</timeConfig> <pushConfig>

<pushMode value=”enable” /> <disable />

<enable>

<userName value=”User” /> <userPass value=”Pass” /> <port value=”21” />

</enable> </pushConfig>

<pullMode value=”enable” />
