Content Management Application (CMA)
A Content Management Application (CMA) running on your workstation or laptop
computer gives you remote control of uploading and crossloading content,
upgrading software and fixture configuration for multiple DL.2 fixtures on a
fixture network.
Overview.
Before you launch the CMA, set up your Ethernet network and link all DL.2 fixtures you want
to access from the CMA. See Linking DL.2 Fixtures on page 10 for more information on
configuring a fixture network.
The CMA communicates with the DL.2 fixture network in three ways:
Web Services: The CMA application physically runs on an end user's machine, but accesses
web services to facilitate all aspects of the required CMA functionality.
Discovery Packets: The CMA captures the DL.2 fixture discovery packets to automatically
discover the IP Addresses and Fixture IDs of all the DL.2 fixtures on the network.
SMB File Transfers: The cross platform SMB file transfer protocol is used to transfer both
Content and upgrade installer files between the CMA and the DL.2 fixture.
Installing the CMA
You can download the latest version of the application for Windows XP or Mac OS 10.4 based
system from the Digital Lighting support section of the High End Systems website
www.highend.com/support
. A download wizard simplifies installation on your personal
computer. The following are recommended hardware requirements for the CMA:
• Mac OS 10.4 or Windows XP with Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
• 100/1000 base Ethernet card (a Gigabit Ethernet card is recommended for fast content
uploading of large files)
Note: When
installing the CMA on a laptop, disable the wireless adapter to
prevent IP address conflicts that can keep the CMA from recognizing
DL.2 fixtures.
