a Power LED – Lights solid green when the SMD101 is powered. Lights solid red when in standby (low power) mode.

b Playback status indicator — Dual-color LED indicates the current state of playback operation:

• Solid Green – The SMD101 is actively decoding a stream.

• Blinking Green – A stream is selected for decoding, but playback is paused.

• Off – The selected stream is not being decoded.

• Solid Red – Playback errors.

c Network status indicator — Dual-color LED indicates the current state of network operation and connection quality.

• Solid Green – Indicates network conditions are favorable for the current source. The LED is also lit if the current source

is a local le.

• Red/Green – When ashing red and green, indicates encoder or network conditions are compromising image or audio

quality, and the buffers could be depleted.

• Solid Red – Indicates server or network conditions are compromising video or audio quality and the buffers could be

depleted.

• Off – No network connectivity.

d IR Receiver Window— Allows remote operation using a compatible IR hand control (optional).

e Config port — Connect a control PC or other USB device to this port with a mini-type B USB cable (not supplied). Use this

port to send Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands to the SMD101 for device conguration and control.

SMD101 Conﬁguration

The SMD101 can be congured and controlled using a web-browser. To congure the SMD101 to play a multimedia stream:

1. Connect the external power supply to a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power source. The SMD101 powers up and undergoes

a self testing sequence.

2. Power up all connected devices. The SMD101 reads the EDID of the connected display device and sets the output

resolution and format.

3. The SMD101 can be connected to a control PC using the front panel USB port, the rear panel RS-232 connection, or the

RJ-45 LAN port (see Control System Connections on page2). Ensure the control PC is on the same subnet, power the

PC, and open a web browser.

• Google Chrome™ version 27 or higher (recommended),

• Mozilla

Firefox

(version 15 or higher) or

• Microsoft

InternetExplorer

version 8 or higher (for Windows operating systems).

4. Enter the default IP address of the SMD101 (192.168.254.254) into the browser address bar and press <Enter> on the

keyboard.

The Player Page opens with the browser, lists, and playlist editor panels open. The browser Streams tab is selected (see

gure 5 on page 4).

5. Congure the SMD101 using the Conguration, and Advanced Conguration pages. See the SMD101 User Guide at
