MX Player Setup
Once you have made the minimum appropriate connections (be sure to connect an output video
and power!) the unit will start, initialize, and begin to play the currently loaded schedule. The
first playback will be a factory test schedule.
Should an MX device be shut down through its operating system, it will be necessary to use the
power switch on the unit to restart. Power switch locations will vary depending on the hardware
model but will always be on the front or rear of the player. Certain models will require opening
of a door or panel to access the main power button. All Keywest Technology provided hardware
devices are set to auto-start with the application of AC power and will return to ON state after
AC power loss automatically as long as no other method of shut-down has been used.
Remote communication with an MX player is accomplished by Ethernet, Serial, or optional
telephone modem. The selected path is the method used to send content (pages, crawls, videos,
logos, pictures) from a computer running editor software to the Player. Because of the inherent
superiority of network communications (Ethernet; Wide-Area Network (WAN); Local Area
Network (LAN), Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Broadband Air Cards, or any other term or method) this
manual will assume it is the method used.
Player Network Setup
A network by definition means there are at least two machines or computers tied together
through some communications link and can share resources over that network.
To configure a network connection connect a PC monitor (use the proper RGBHV connector and
DVI to VGA adapter as required—Do Not Use Any Connector Labeled “DO NOT USE”), a
keyboard, a mouse, a network cable, and power.
***NOTE***
MX Players may take up to 60 seconds to completely POST, load sets, and begin playing its
schedule. Please be patient during this process.
***CAUTION***
Units operate on 100 – 220 VAC 50 – 60 Hz Main Power. Inadequate power grounding can result in equipment
damage or destruction and could void warranty. Ensure you utilize provided power supply unit only. Use of
improper power supply can damage or destroy the unit and will void the warranty. Only use power cords and
transformers supplied by Keywest Technology to maintain warranty.
