IS XPert
Overview
IS XPert is a simple, ready to deploy, Signage solution that provides the benefits of a full digital Signage system without the need
for consultants or design services.
IS XPert - Components
The following software applications and hardware components comprise the IS XPert solution (FIG. 1):
Inspired Composer Software Application
Inspired Composer is a content management application. It is installed on a Windows-based desktop or server and accessed
through a web browser, either directly in the case of the desktop version, or via a network. (FIG. 2).
Inspired Composer provides several key functions:
It allows end users to create, customize and publish content.
It allows Administrators to manage Users and User Groups as well as pools of content called Resource Pools.
It allows Administrators to manage a collection of Players.
It allows Managers/Administrators to approve content and playlist changes made by end users.
Composer enables taking Templates created by AMX's Graphic Design team, and creating Messages from these Templates, with
customized media and data. These Messages are then added to Playlists and published to the relevant Players, so that the new
content can be displayed on screen. Typically one Message corresponds to one digital sign. Composer can control a large number
of Playlists, each with its own set of Messages.

The IS-XPT-2100 provides a built-in web console called the Player Web Configuration tool to configure the player. This section
describes how to use the Player Web Configuration tool to configure the IS-XPT-2100.
NOTE: The instructions in this section assume that the IS-XPT-2100 will be installed on a DHCP network. For instructions on installing
on a non-DHCP network, refer the Appendix: Connecting the IS-XPT-2100 to a LAN via Link-Local Addressing on page 13.
Diagnostic Screen
When the IS-XPT-2100 is powered on for the first time, the Diagnostic screen is displayed (see FIG. 7). This screen displays
important information about the Player: Network settings, Display settings (with Test Patterns), and NetLinx settings (which
controls the content displayed on the Player using a NetLinx controller).
NOTE: When displaying screen shots of the system as shown in FIG. 7, the clock time displayed in the bottom left corner using black
text shows when the screen shot was actually taken. The black clock text is not a live system clock. The actual live system clock is
displayed in green text in the Web Configuration tool menus.
Accessing the Player Web Conf iguration Tool
NOTE: The Player Web Configuration tool requires the Microsoft Silverlight plugin (http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-
Started/Install/Default.aspx). If it is not already installed, the Silverlight plugin will be downloaded automatically when you first
access the Player Web Configuration tool.
To access the Player Web Configuration tool, in order to configure the IS-XPT-2100, enter the following URL into Internet Explorer:
http://<Player IP>
for example, http://192.168.81.98
Note that the IS-XPT-2100’s IP address is indicated on the Diagnostics screen, under Network (FIG. 8):
IMPORTANT: Make a note of the Player IP address for future reference as this IP address is used when configuring the Player in

Quick Wizard - Screen Conf iguration
The first page of the Quick Wizard is the Screen Configuration page. The options on this page allow you to configure the display of
content output by the IS-XPT-2100 on the display devices. These settings include Screen (Output) Resolution, Aspect Ratio, and
Rotation Setting (FIG. 9).
1. The IS-XPT-2100 will attempt to select the best resolution for the attached display using the EDID (Extended Display
Identification) system. If your display does not support EDID or if you wish to use a different resolution, select an output
resolution from the standard resolution options provided in the Output Resolution drop-down menu.
If you want to specify a custom output resolution, select Custom from the menu. With Custom selected, the Custom Width
and Custom Height fields are enabled. Enter the desired resolution (width and height in pixels).
2. The IS-XPT-2100 will attempt to select a suitable aspect ratio for the attached display using the EDID system Alternatively you
can select an output aspect ratio from the standard aspect ratio options provided in the Aspect Ratio drop-down menu.
If you want to specify a custom aspect ratio, select Custom from the menu. With Custom selected, the Custom X and Custom
Yfields are enabled. Enter the desired aspect ratio.
3. If the display screen is mounted upside down or sideways, you may need to change the output orientation from the Player. To
rotate the output display, select the desired degree of counter-clockwise rotation from the Rotation (Counterclockwise)
drop-down menu.
The default setting is 0(zero = no rotation). Other settings are 90, 180, and 270.
Use the first and last of these settings if the Player is displaying portrait content or if the Player is mounted on its side.
Select 180 degrees if the display is mounted upside down.
4. This screen also contains a small number of settings for Player display logging (known as As-Run Logging). As run logging
enables users to log which messages play, for how long, and the contents of those messages. This data can be used to bill
another customer for advertising, or for data mining purposes.
To configure the IS-XPT-2100 to log what it displays, set the check box Enable As-Run Logging.
Once this setting is enabled the Player will log the names of the digital signs (called Messages in Composer) it displays and the
data that makes up the signs.
Note that this may result in excessively large log files. If you do not need the content data, and the name is sufficient, then set
the check box Exclude Template Data. Both of these settings can be changed later if you are not certain what is required.
However, be aware that data on what has been displayed is only available for signs (Messages) published to the Player after
this setting is enabled.
5. Click Next to proceed to the Network Configuration page.

A connection from the PC on which the Inspired Composer application is installed, for content updates
A connection to a server running IS XPort to provide feeds such as RSS, Flickr, etc. (optional)
The location of the Player in the network topology, and the choice of a PC to install the Inspired Composer content management
software should be determined accordingly.
NOTE: To ensure connectivity between the Inspired Composer application and the Player, it is important that the IP address of the
Player does not change.
Set the IS-XPT-2100’s Network settings as follows:
1. Enter a name for the Player in the Host Name field.
The Host Name is returned to Bonjour, to make it easy to identify Players in the Internet Explorer Bonjour plugin device list and
in Composer.
2. By default, DHCP is enabled for the Player, in which case all of the TCP/IP fields are disabled. AMX recommends using DHCP
and configuring a DHCP Server to prevent the Player IP address from changing.
To manually configure these settings, de-select DHCP and enter the desired Machine IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and
Primary/Secondary DNS values in the respective fields. Ask your Network administrator for these values, and make a note of
the IP address for later reference.

IS Expert 2100 Installation Guide
Appendix: Connecting the IS-XPT-2100 to a LAN via
Link-Local Addressing
Overview
By using the Player’s built-in Zeroconf feature and the Bonjour for Windows plug-in, users can install and configure the Player in a
network that does not have a DHCP Server via link-local addressing. Install the Bonjour for Windows plugin from apple.com/
support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html.
To establish a network connection from a PC to the Player:
1. Directly connect a PC and the IS-XPT-2100 , and apply power to the IS-XPT-2100 .
2. Confirm that the PC has assigned itself an IP address:
a. If the PC's network interface is set to DHCP, wait several minutes to ensure the PC reverts to link-local addressing.
b. Confirm that the PC has assigned itself an IP by running ipconf ig from a CMD shell (FIG. 16).
The example in FIG. 16 shows the Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: could not find a DHCP server and assigned itself
the IP address of 169.254.83.124 with Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0. This is a valid link-local address.
If the PC did not assign itself a 169.254.x.x address, or if the PC assigned itself the address 169.254.2.2 then proceed to Step
3. Otherwise, skip to Step 4.
3. Manually assign an IP address, via the Internet Properties (TCP/IP) Properties dialog (FIG. 17):
You may need to manually assign the IP on the PC if the PC does not support link-local addressing or if the PC assigned itself
the IP address of 169.254.2.2.
The Player assigns itself 169.254.2.2 by default when it reverts to link-local addressing.
Therefore, in order to avoid conflict the PC cannot be assigned IP address 169.254.2.2.
Manually set the PC's IP address to 169.254.1.1 and subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 (FIG. 17).
4. Launch Internet Explorer and select the Bonjour Plug-in.
5. Double-click the IS-XPT-2100 in the Bonjour Plug-in pane to start the Player Web Configuration Tool wizard.
NOTE: The Web Configuration Tool requires the Microsoft Silverlight plugin. The first time you access the Web Configuration Tool a
prompt will appear to install this plugin. You will need to be connected to the internet to install the Plugin.
