Using a network server with HMP100
This tutorial explains how to configure your HMP100 unit to use a network server as
content source using its administration HTTP server.
The HMP100 can use an HTTP server as the source for the displayed multimedia files. In
this case the HMP100 will frequently check for modification on the server. The internal
storage will be used to cache some of media files from the server. If you require your
HMP100 to download periodically the content of a network server to its internal storage,
please go to the
Content pull mode
page.
1.
In the main page of the HTTP server of your unit, select in the left menu the
Media Sources
item that you find under
Administration.
The current settings
will be shown on your browser.
2.
Change the Primary source to be equal to Network Project
3.
Enter the URI of your network project
The HMP100 will open the index.svg file in the root of the entered URI.
Note: you can use HTTP or HTTPS servers
4.
Press Apply
You can specify a Fallback source in case your network server cannot be reached by the
HMP100 unit.
If your server requires a username and a password, you can enter them using the
Advanced dialog page as described in
Network credentials
.
The Pull mode
The Pull mode is configured through the HTTP configuration interface, under
Administration/Pull mode
.
