Chapter1 Introduction
Preconfiguring Your DMP To Run Without a Local DHCP Server
Step3 Connect the Cisco-provided power supply to your DMP.
You should see two lights through the front panel on your DMP chassis. The solid green light indicates
that a power source is available. The solid red light indicates that your DMP is trying to obtain a DHCP
address from the DHCP server. After your DMP obtains an IP address, the red light stops shining.
Step4 Make a note of the IP address that you see on the DMP display.
Step5 Point your browser to the IP address.
Caution We recommend that you change the default username and password as soon as possible. If you do not
change them, an unauthorized user can log in to your DMP and reconfigure it without your knowledge.
In no event shall Cisco or its suppliers be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, or incidental
damages arising out of your use of a weak password.
Step6 When prompted to log in, use admin as your username and default as your password.
Digital Media Player Device Manager (DMPDM) loads in your browser.
Caution You must be careful to enter nothing except one dot between any two octets in the static, IPv4
dot decimal (sometimes called dotted quad) IP address. If you mistakenly enter anything other than one
dot between any two octets, then apply and save what you mistakenly entered, your DMP might become
unreachable.
Step7 To configure your DMP with the settings that it should use when it runs at the deployment site, do
the following:
a. From the DHCP list, select Disabled.
b. In the IP Address field, enter the static IP address to use at the deployment site.
Tip If your DMP uses a private IPaddress by way of NAT, enter its corresponding 1-to-1 public
address, which is confgured on the local router.
c. In the Subnet Mask field, enter the netmask to use at the deployment site.
d. In the Default Gateway field, enter the gateway to use at the deployment site.
e. In the DNS Server IP Address field, enter the IP address of the DNS server to use at the
deployment site.
Step8 Click Apply.
Step9 To save the configuration changes and use them at the deployment site, do the following:
a. In the Administration list, click Save Configuration.
b. When the Save Configuration page appears, click Save.
Step10 Ship or deliver the DMP to its deployment site, then attach it to its display, its local network segment,
and its power source.
