Cisco Digital Media Player 4300G (DMP) is a compact, addressable network appliance that delivers digital signage content to a display that you attach. The display can be analog or digital and can be

the content, develop playlists, and much more.
Digital signage consists of any combination of messages or other kinds of information that people can see or hear, and that a DMP delivers to people. The content might relate to commerce, popular entertainment, staff training, emergency awareness, combinations of those things, or nearly anything. The people who manage a DMP (or who manage multiple DMPs in a digital signage network) decide what to show or say, and when, and to whom.

3Connect to DHCP Server
The factory default for a DMP 4300G is to obtain its IP address automatically from a DHCP server.
If you will deploy your DMP at a physical location that does not have a DHCP server, see Appliance Administration Guide for Cisco Digital Media System 4.0 on Cisco.com to learn how to configure your DMP to use a static IP address.
Tip If a network security policy restricts DHCP address assignments to network interface cards with known MAC addresses, read the sticker that is affixed
to the bottom of your DMP chassis, then provide your security policy administrator with the MAC address.
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.
4Connect to DMP Display
You can use an analog or a digital display, but must use the provided composite/RCA cable. (You must always use the composite/RCA cable for audio, even if you later use HDMI for video.)
Step 1 On the back of the DMP chassis: (a) plug the yellow jack into the CVBS connector;
(b)plug the red jack into the AUDIO/RIGHT connector; and (c) plug the white jack into the AUDIO/LEFT connector.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the composite/RCA cable to your DMP display.
Step 3 If the DMP display is not already turned on, turn it on now.
