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 RJ-45 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.
