SMD 101 Power Up Procedure

NOTE: Before powering on the SMD 101, ensure that all necessary devices are connected properly. Devices do not need to be powered.

Connect the external power supply to a 100 to 240 VAC supply (see Rear Panel Features on page 9). The DC power LED lights and the SMD 101 undergoes a self testing sequence. When connected to a network, the front panel network LED indicator lights green when the SMD 101 is ready to decode.

Hardware Setup Overview

NOTE: If it is difficult to access the device after installation, configure the network settings of the SMD 101 prior to starting (see Accessing the Web-based User Interface on page 14 , and Connection on page 34).

1.If the SMD 101 has been on for configuration, turn it off and disconnect the SMD 101 and all connected devices.

2.Mount the SMD 101 (see Mounting the SMD 101 on page 81).

3.Connect one end of an RJ-45 cable to the rear panel LAN connector on the SMD 101 (see Rear Panel Features on page 9). Connect the other end of the RJ45 cable

to the local network.

4.Connect a compatible output device to the rear panel (see Rear Panel Features on page 9) and power it on.

5.Connect a control device to the SMD 101 by one of the following connections:

a.The front panel config port (see Front Panel Configuration Port on page 58).

b.The rear panel RS-232 port (see RS-232 Port on page 57).

c.The Ethernet connection. Configure the network settings of the control PC so it is compatible with the network the SMD 101 is connected to (see LAN (Ethernet) Port on page 59).

6.Connect the external power supply output connector to the SMD 101 (see Rear Panel Features on page 9), then connect the power supply to a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz

or 60 Hz power source. The SMD 101 powers up automatically and undergoes a self testing sequence (see the SMD 101 Power Up Procedure, above).

7.From the control PC, access the user interface of the SMD 101 (see Accessing the Web-based User Interface on page 14).

8.Select a stream to decode (see Player Page on page 16).

9.If necessary, set the decoder output for the connected display (see Video Output on page 3 and Video Configuration on page 28).

10.Press Play on the software interface (see Player Page on page 16) or on the optional remote control (see IR Remote Control on page 56) to begin decoding the selected stream.
