6 2 Finding a Suitable Location to Set Up Your DMP The site where you set up a DM P must be within 6 feet of an AC electrical outlet (socket), with voltage that is standard in your locale, between 100V and 240V . T o understand the supported lengths for different vide o cable types, see the “Connecting to a DMP Display” section on page 8 .
7 3 Participating in a DHCP Network The factory default for a DMP 4400G is to obtain its IP a ddress automatically from a DHCP server . If you will deploy your DMP at a physical location that does not have a DHCP server , see User Guide for Cisco Digital Media Pl ayer Device Manager 5.
8 Step 1 Plug one end of an ordinary Ethernet cable into the Ethernet 10/100 port on the back of the DMP chas sis. Step 2 Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into a network hub, network switch, or router that participates in a DHCP network. 4 Connecting to a DMP Display W e recommend that you use a digital display , not a nalog.

15 If you have very few DMPs an d will manage each of them in isolation, you can change their DMP W eb Acco unt and DMP Service Account passwords manually in DMPDM. Y ou use the W eb Service Account when you log in to DMPDM itself, and the DMP Service Account is a user account with F TP login privileges.
16 string should contain an actual plus sign, you must encode the plus sign explicitly as %2B . Exclamat ion points ( ! ), question marks ( ? ), ampersands ( & ), and asterisks ( * ) are forbidden in values.

20 – Select the check box for e ach DMP where the DMP Service Account password should change. – Select from the Select an Ev ent T ype list the system task that you named in Step 5b. ( Alternatively , users of DMM-DSM 4.1. x should select this task from the Actions list.
21 Otherwise, if you are not satisfied, do the following: a. From the DMP Display Autodetection (requires HDMI) list, select Disable . b. From the Display Standard list, select the standard that applies in your country . For example, even though our factory default selection is NTSC_M, your country might use PA L instead.
22 Step 5 T o confirm your selections and to implement them until you change them or unti l you restart your DMP , click Apply . Step 6 T o test if your selectio ns are suitable ones for your DMP display , click Show IP in the DMP Mode area. Y our DMP display should show a Cisco logo an d should show the IP address for your DMP .
23 Caution T o stop untrusted DMM appliances from being able to seize control of your DMPs, you must configure your network firewall to restrict which devices you will permit to send inbound traffic to your DMP over TCP port 7777. If you do not know how to work with access control lists, see the manufacturer documentation for your firewall.
24 d. T o confirm your selections and to implement them until you change them or until you restart your DMP , click Apply . e. T o make these configuration changes persist even after you restart your DMP , do the following: – Select Administration > Save Config uration .
