If you are using a Bright Sign box you’ll need to refer to their manual.
If you are using a PC you can use the VLC media player as an example. The application
can be found here:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
. If you are unfamiliar with
VLC media player follow the instructions below. We are currently using VLC for
streaming (www.videolan.org). This configuration has been tested using version 1.0.5
and 1.1.11. We suggest you download the latest version, it’s free. For more information

Setting up the PC (IP address scheme assumes MT300 factory default settings)
•
In a Command prompt window type “IPCONFIG” to view the PC IP address.
Note: When using direct connection, make sure the PC and MT300 are in
the same IP domain. Set the computers IP Address to a static address on
the same subnet as the MT300 (e.g., 192.168.1.100)
•
in a Command prompt window type “ping 192.168.1.193” (This operation sets up
an ARP entry on the PC)
•
If properly working the ping command will return “Request timed out” message.
This means the Ping command properly saw the MT300 but the MT300 did not
respond back, which is to be expected as the MT300 is a one-way streamer and
cannot reply. If it says not connected, check physical connection and power
MT300.
Make sure ARP table registry is correct
•
In a Command prompt window type type “Arp –a”
