Update Locations
– This is the URL of the MediaStar http server and folder that the encoder will look at
for software updates and configuration files. It will normally automatically be set by the Media Manager
server. The encoder will only accept new software that has been digitally signed by MediaStar Systems.
Enablement Code

configuration. This can be done locally or via Media Manager software (recommended). If the password
gets lost, contact MediaStar for assistance, quoting the serial number of the unit affected.
SAP -
The encoder can produce Session Annunciation Protocol (SAP) messages if required. This allows
networked devices to detect the presence of the stream on the IP network (if they support this detection
method).

messages to.
Email Logs
– Event logs can be periodically emailed to a recipient. Specify the email server and
recipient email address here.

the last IR hey received as an aid to IR blaster location setup.
Locator LEDs
- Allows the front and rear panel status LEDs to be flashed RED/GREEN from the front
panel or web page to help identify the physical encoder unit in a rack.
