2 NetworkTV Amino STB Configuration Guide Release 2.0
Setting up & Configuring the Amino Set Top Box
The set-top boxes access your NetworkTV system and display available
live channels and content on a connected video source such as a large for-
mat display. The set-top boxes are used only for H.264 and MPEG .TS con-
tent. They support viewing live video as well as on-demand (but support
only Stop, Play, Pause, Fast Forward and Rewind features in VoD).
Before you can use your set top box to view video, you must configure it to access your NetworkTV system.
You can use the Amino Configuration Keyboard (optional item) included with your set-top box to access the
configuration pages for the unit. The keyboard is wireless and communicates with the set top box via IR sig-
nal. Position the keyboard within a short range (1-3 ft or 0.3-1m) of the front of the set-top box before get-
ting started (alternatively you can use a USB keyboard).
Connecting the set-top box:
1. Connect the power supply to the power connector on the rear of the unit.
2. Choose one of the following methods to connect the set top box to your audio and video sources:
Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI port on the set-top box to an HDMI port on your video
source. HDMI also transmits an audio signal in addition to video.
Use a breakout cable to connect the AUDIO VISUAL port on the set top box to your audio and video
sources. In place of connecting the breakout cable to your audio source, you can connect an optical
audio cable from the SPDIF port on the set-top box to your audio source.
3. Connect an RJ-45 LAN cable to the LAN port on the rear of the unit. The other end of the cable connects
to your LAN.
4. Make sure the keyboard is within range of the front of the set-top box, and press Alt-M to access the En-
ter Management Pages screen. If the keyboard and STB have connected you will see a red LED flash on the
STB.
Note: Sometimes the keyboard doesn’t connect. If this happens try replacing the batteries or toggle
the frequency switch inside the battery compartment of the keyboard. Revert to using a USB keyboard
if this doesn’t solve the problem.
Logging In:
5. In the Password field, enter the password (the default is
leaves
)
and press Enter. The STB Management screen appears.
6. Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to access the Browser Setup
option, and press Enter.
