PULL MODE

Pull Mode

In this next section, we will discuss Pull Mode . When we refer to Pull Mode, we are describing a process whereby content is (automatically) “pulled from” an FTP server to the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player. In this configuration, the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player becomes the FTP client. Pull Mode is highly desirable when managing multiple units on a network: Instead of uploading new content manually to each box, Pull Mode can be used to schedule the transfer of new / updated content on a daily or hourly basis.

Configuring Pull Mode on the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player can be

changed through the OSD or from within the settings.xml file. Both methods will be presented here.

STOP: Before making any changes to the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player, through the OSD, make sure that the USB drive is connected to the Media Player.

Method 1: Configuration using the OSD

1.Open the OSD and select the Network option.

2.Select either DHCP IP (automatically assigns the IP address from the pool) or FIX IP. The FIX IP option will require you to provide the correct IP address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway, and DNS server address.
