MAX-MDL200 Multi-Disc Loader System
Online Database
MAX systems (firmware version 4.34 or higher) rely on an online media database for disc recognition.
The online database provides all media information (such as disc title, track/chapter information, artist
information, etc.). In order to identify discs (CDs and/or DVDs) as they are added to the MAX Server,
the MAX Server must have permanent access to the internet.
Without access to the internet, all media information must be entered manually.
Verifying Communication Between the PC, MAX-MDLD and
MAX Server
Once the MAX-MDLD, PC and MAX server are connected and powered up:
1.
Launch the
MAX MDL200
application on the PC (double-click the
MAX MDL200
desktop icon to
launch the program and access the main window).
2.
The PC and the MAX MDL200 application are pre-configured to allow communication between the
PC, the MAX-MDLD and the MAX. The status bar (at the bottom of the dialog) should indicate that
you have successfully connected to the MAX-MDLD and the MAX server (see FIG. 6):
The center area of the status bar should indicate that the MAX-MDLD is connected and
running, and the icon on the right side of the status bar should be green to indicate
communication with the MAX server.
If you are not communicating with either the MAX-MDLD or the MAX server, first verify that
your cables are connected properly. Then select
File > Settings
to open the Settings dialog
(FIG. 7):
Previous versions of the MAX Servers utilize a database that resides on the server,
and therefore do not require a permanent connection to the internet. The shift from an
onboard media information database (updated periodically) to a dynamic online
database will provide more accurate and consistent results when identifying new
media as they are added to the MAX Server.
