Provides a contact phone number for the streaming media content provider. | |
| • This string should ONLY use digits, but it will also accept a phone number with or |
| without hyphens between the digits. |

Mode: | This section provides the user with both a Play and Stop button which affects the status |
| of the current media stream. |
| • Pressing Play causes a previously halted content stream to begin again. Refreshing |
| the page shows the button size reduced when in an active play mode. |
| • Pressing Stop causes the unit to stop encoding and streaming the current media |
| feed. The source of the stream is not affected and will continue to feed its signal into |
| the MAX unit regardless of the stream state. |
| - Before being able to alter any encoding settings or SET Video commands, the |
| stream must first be stopped. Once the settings are changed and applied, the stream |
| can then be restarted via the Play button. |
| • As an example: If the stream was halted for 30 minutes and then begun again (via |
| Play), the streaming media would be 30 minutes further along in the content and |
| would not pick up from where it left off. |
|
|
Upload Firmware: | Allows a user to upload a Kit file from a known location directly onto the currently active |
| MAX unit (shown via the UI page). |
| • Pressing the Browse button opens a Choose File dialog which allows a user to |
| navigate through the directory structure on the source computer and locate the new |
| firmware Kit file. |
| • Pressing the Submit button begins the process of uploading and incorporating the |
| new firmware. At this point, the UI expands to display a message indicating the |
| progress of the firmware upload. |
