Registering an NSP-1 and Creating Groups

As the BZNP-D1 software manages an NSP-1 via a network, the NSP-1 players to be managed should be registered in advance. If an NSP-1 uses a password for access management, you should also specify the password to be sent from the BZNP-D1 software upon accessing the NSP-1.

And, as the BZNP-D1 software manages playlists and schedules for the NSP-1 groups and sends data to these groups, you should also create NSP-1 groups. A single NSP-1 can be a member of more than one group. Classify the NSP-1 players into groups according to the contents they play, and the screen resolution and orientation (portrait or landscape) of the displays connected to the respective NSP-1 players.

Note

Although the BZNP-D1LE supports only one NSP-1 player, create a group to specify screen orientation and resolution, or other group attributes.

The Group Setup dialog box is displayed.

2-2 In the NSP-1 Name and IP Address text boxes, enter the name and IP address of an NSP-1.

A password has been set for each NSP-1 player when it is shipped from the factory. If you change the password, input an identical password in the Password and Retype Password text boxes and click [OK] to avoid miss-typing. Make sure to use the IP address and password specified for the NSP-1 hardware. Click [Check Connection] to test the connection to the specified IP address and display the result.

2-3 Repeat steps 2-1 and 2-2 to register all the NSP- 1 players you use in the system.

The registered NSP-1 players will appear in the NSP-1 list box in the Group Setup dialog box.

3 The order of the registered NSP-1 players in the Group Setup dialog box represents the actual order of the NSP-1 players when data is sent or when they are being displayed in the NSP-1 Status window. Arrange the order of the NSP-1 players as desired using drag & drop operations.
