Getting the STB up and running 

When you have copied your 

mc2.mcfs

 file to an appropriate location and configured your DHCP server to 

tell the STB where it is, you should connect the STB to the network and turn it on. As part of the boot up 
process it will make a DHCP request, locate the mc2 file and install it.
