VBrick Systems MPEG-2, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 manual Initial Setup, Using pman

Installation

Using pman

pman is an text-based configuration program that runs from the Unix shell on the set top box. Its functionality mirrors the web-based configuration tool and you can use pman to set or edit all STB configuration parameters. In a typical scenario, you use a keyboard (wireless or PS/2) to open a Unix shell and you launch pman from that shell. You can also run pman using terminal emulation or Telnet.

TTo run pman using the wireless keyboard:

1.Type Ctrl-Alt-F1to access the Unix shell using the wireless keyboard (or a standard keyboard connected to the PS/2 port).

2.At the VBrick-STB login: prompt, enter the username and password (root, admin).

3.Then type pman to launch the text-based pman configuration utility.

4.Navigate using the arrow keys; select fields or apply changes using the Enter key.

5.Select <...> to exit to a higher level in the menu.

6.When done, type Ctrl-Alt-F2to exit.
