5. Testing the Maven
4.6.4 Reboot
You can restart the maven by clicking `reboot' below `Special Functions'.
4.6.5 Setting daily reboot
When using the Maven for a long time, it is recommended to reboot the Maven once every 24 hours.
You can do this automatically by entering a time in the eld `Daily reboot time'. The restart of the
Maven takes approximately 1 minute. Give the time in the format hh:mm and leave the eld empty if
you do not want the Maven to reboot each day at the same time.
4.6.6 Setting automatic shutdown
The Maven can be congured to automatically switch o after a user-set period of time. This can be
used if, for example, the Maven is sometimes accidentally switched on or to avoid considerable streaming
costs. The time is set in minutes and countdown starts after the Maven has fully started. Leave the eld
empty if you do not want the Maven to shutdown automatically after a give period of time.
4.6.7 Setting device name
To easily recognize the Maven in the Streamit device register (http://register.streamit.eu) is it possible
to give each device an unique name, chosen by yourself

.
4.6.8 Updating rmware
The Maven rmware can be updated by clicking `Browse' below `Update Firmware'. Navigate to the
rmware that you received from Streamit, or that you downloaded from the Streamit website and click
`open'.
Click on `upload' to load and execute the rmware update in the Maven. The Maven will install the
new rmware and reboot. You will automatically be redirected to the Streamit Maven register (see
11).
Note: Do not turn o the Maven during the update, the update process should not
be interrupted.
5 Testing the Maven
The easiest way to test the Maven is to switch it on. If everything is OK,
you will hear after some time (approximately 30-50 seconds) 3 tones increasingly higher tones from the
loudspeaker of the Maven. This is the sign that te Maven has boot completely.
After that you can go to the video platform to see if the video actually appears. What should appear,
depends on your streaming service provider. On the Streamit portal (
http://eventcaster.streamit.
eu/
) a play button appears automatically at the station where the Maven transmits to, when switching
on a well-congured Maven. An example of such a play button is shown in gure 13.

If no device name is set, but the Maven streams to the Streamit EventCaster platform, the mount point is automatically
sent as name
