To set a static IP address on the 782-AV, use an IR or Bluetooth remote control to show the on-screen setup menus.
Press the menu (or home) button to show the Media list and then use the arrow up cursor key to show the setup
menus. Navigate to the Advanced/Configuration-Configure Network-IP address setting menus to set the IP address
details. Ensure that all static IP address details (netmask, gateway etc.), are in accordance with the settings
provided by the network system administrator.
7. Once the 782-AV is connected on the network, its advanced configuration options may be setup using a networked
computer running a standard web-browser. In the web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari) enter
the IP address of the 782-AV into the navigation address bar. The browser will then show the configuration web
pages from the 782-AV unit, starting with the specification page. The main configuration web pages can be
accessed by clicking on the menu link on the left hand side of the screen. Context sensitive help is shown on the
right hand side in case further help is required with setup.
It is recommended that the following (minimum) settings are configured at time of installation:
a) Unit name (in Operating Mode menu) – This should reflect the physical location of the unit, preferably in line
with a system wide naming convention. This name of the unit will be shown in the Media Manager software.
b) Date/Time – For most accurate timekeeping, configure the unit to use a corporate or internet NTP time server
(a commonly used internet time server is pool.ntp.org). If this is not available, set the date and time manually.
The date/time will be retained and updated throughout a power outage of up to 3 days.
8. The media accessible on the display is controlled from the Media Manager software. When the Media Manager
server software is installed and running, it should automatically detect a new 782-AV unit and create a new ‘icon’
for it. Media can then be assigned to the 782-AV by ‘dragging and dropping’ live streams, stored files etc. onto the
782-AV icon. The 782-AV will then be instructed to download or access the specified media and start showing it
on the display as requested by the user.
If the 782-AV is not automatically recognised by the Media manager software, then:
a) Use a browser to go onto the 782’s web page menus, and enter <MM server IP address>/MediaManagerUp-
dates/config (without < or >) into the Config File Location field and click on Apply. Creating this direct connection
to the Media Manager server should cause the 782’s icon to be created. The network connectivity from the
782-AV to the Media Manager server can be checked by checking the ‘Check update locations’ tick box and
pressing the apply button.
b) In Media Manager, manually create a 782-AV icon, by right-clicking on the workspace and selecting the Create/
Endpoint/782-AV option. This allows the IP address of the 782-AV to be manually specified, so Media Manager
can then try and connect directly to the 782-AV unit.
It is essential for the 782-AV to be able to communicate with a Media Manager server to be able to initially
configure or then change the user selectable media.
