ID-AL - My Music Player and My Music Player LE - User Guide V1.0
•
With the default NetBIOS name of the player:
Through the NetBIOS service of the Ethernet network, by default, the player responds to a factory
name. The factory name is composed to the characters string
mmp-
(or
MMP-
) and the hexadecimal
serial number of the player (e.g.
mmp-8b0a
or
MMP-B04F
). Use of uppercase or lowercase does not
matter. To find the hexadecimal serial number of the player, check the sticker below the case of the
player or on the LCD screen when the player is stopped, please refer to Information Displays (page
67).
•
With the IP address of the player:
On the Ethernet network the player responds to a unique IPv4 address (e.g.
192.168.0.104
).
Depending to the settings of network, this address can be fixe (a IP address is manually attributed to
the player and does not evolve in the time) or dynamically affected by a DHCP server (the IP
address is attributed by the DHCP and can change at any time). To find the current IP address of the
player check the “Advanced” menu (
Administrator
→
Ethernet
), please refer to Advanced
Menu to Select an Audio Source and Configure the Player (page 68).
Note:
Because the IP address attribution can change in DHCP mode, it is better to use the
NetBIOS host name identification which is independent to the IP address of the player.
•
With a custom NetBIOS name:
Through the NetBIOS service of the Ethernet network, the player can responds to a custom name.
The custom name is setup in the
NetBIOS
entry of the Samba settings of the player, please refer to
Ethernet Page in Web server (page 81). If the
NetBIOS
setting is empty, the default factory name is
used. Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter.
. Accessing the Player with Internet
When the Ethernet parameters are properly setup, the network functionalities of the player are easy to reach
from the local area network (LAN), but some embedded functions, like the web server or the FTP server,
required additional settings in order to make them accessible from the Internet worldwide network. The
player availability on the network as well as the Internet accessibility depend on the network infrastructure
within which the player is installed. If more information on the network setup are required, then contact the
local network administrator or the IPS (Internet Service Provider).
Several network configurations are possible in order to provide an access to the web server and the FTP
server over the Internet worldwide network. Because all the setups possibilities can not be developed, please
find below two usual examples:
1. Use a secure network with a VPN solution (recommended setup):
Use a third-party VPN solution to access to the player over Internet in the same way as on the local
network. This method is highly recommended because it offers a secure network access by using
tunneling protocols and encryption techniques while maintaining the ease of use of a local area
network (LAN). To obtain the better security solution as possible we suggest to install a point-to-point
VPN, as illustrated in the following example.
