4.2 Register and Manage the Device on the WEB
First-time users should register their frame online by following these instructions: Go
to the
www.pix-star.com
webpage and click on the
“Register a new Pix-Star”
button.
Complete the form, choose a password and an email address you want to assign to your
device, and your device will be ready to use!
You can find the device ID (serial number also called “MAC ADDRESS”) by accessing the
CHANGE SETTINGS
menu then the
ABOUT
menu which gives all the informations about
your device.
5. Receive Pictures by Email Directly on the Device
To add a picture to your device, simply send an email with a picture attachment directly
to your device’s email address. Your pix-star email address is something like
“xxxxx@
mypixstar.com
” where “xxxxx” is the left part of the email address that you
chose when registering the unit.
Note 1
: You can send
several
pictures with the same email.
Note 2
: You can configure FILTERS on incoming emails to select which person is allowed to
send photo-mails to your Pix-Star. To manage the filtering options, log into your account
at pix-star.com.
On the frame, by going to the
CHANGE SETTINGS
menu, then
PHOTO-MAIL
menu, you can
configure the way Pix-Star handles incoming photo-mails. You have the following choices:
-
Manually Confirm (default configuration)
In this mode, when a new photo-mail arrives, your Pix-Star displays an icon
(“envelope”) on top of the slide show and a message on the main menu. You can
manually open the photo-mail by pressing the
button at the bottom of the
remote control or by selecting
''You have a new message''
that appears in the Main
Menu. It opens a window that displays photos individually, and provides the
sender’s email address, date and time (GMT format) and the subject of the email.
Moreover, you can decide which photos you want to KEEP or DELETE.
The “manual confirm” mode is very convenient for providing full control on
incoming photo-mails.
-
Accept Auto & Show
In this mode the device AUTOMATICALLY accepts photo-mails. Photo-mails open
one by one and the attached pictures are displayed for 10 seconds, accepted then
stored in the local memory of your device.
This mode is particularly suited for users who want simplicity, as it does not
require much interaction with the device.
-
Accept Automatically
This mode is the same as
“
Accept Auto & Show
”
except that the device
AUTOMATICALLY accepts photo-mails
WITHOUT
previewing them on the screen for
