Web Manager page of the player directly after you connect a
keyboard and a mouse to the SMP device.
1. Click [Wizard Mode] or [Advanced Mode] on the Web
Manager, and enter a username and password.

If you try to manage SMP remotely on your own PC, please

3. You can also open the Media Folder of any player by "CAYIN
Device Seeker". Select the player you want to connect,
and click [Open Folder].
If the IP address of SMP
player shown in CAYIN
Device Seeker is 169.254.
x.x, it means that SMP player
cannot successfully get an
IP address from the DHCP
server. In this circumstance,
you can login directly on
the SMP player first (refer
to 1-5-2 Login on SMP).
Then, change the network
setting to static IP or change
the IP address of your PC to
the same subnet (169.254.
x.x). Finally, you can start to
manage the player remotely
on your PC.
If your PC and SMP player
are not in the same LAN,
you can open the browser
and enter the IP address
of the SMP. After you login
successfully, you can start to
manage SMP.

1-8 Insert/Replace SD Card
(SMP-200 only)
SMP-200 has built-in 4GB flash memory on board, and
approximately 2 GB can be used for Media folder. If you need
more storage, you can install an SD card by yourself.
1. Take out the key from your SMP-200 box.
2. Use the key to unlock and push the door to open the cover.
3. Insert an SC or SDHC card into the SD slot. The maximum
capacity is 32GB.
4. In few seconds, SMP-200 will detect the SD card and switch
the Media folder to the SD card’s storage space.
The SD storage space
replaces the original 2GB
space, which means the two
storage spaces won’t add
together.
SMP-200 doesn’t support
SDXC card. The file system
in the SD card should be FAT/
FAT32.
