This Quick Start guide will help you through the
typicalsetup procedure for installation of
Noventri Suite and Server using one computer
connected to a single SF-200 player.
SF-200 PLAYER SETUP
1. Connect the SF-200player as shown on the
reverse side. DO NOT REMOVE the USB Drive
that comes with the SF-200. After the player boots
up, it will display the IP address and Resolution on
the monitor. If DHCP is not available on the network,
the player will default to: 192.168.0.190
2. Open a web browser on the same subnet and
type in the IP address displayed on the monitor.
Once the SF-200 Configurationappears, enter the
default password: noventri
3. You will need to enter network settings that are
appropriate for your network. Type the IP address of
the computer where you intend to install the Server
software into the NOVENTRI SERVERfield (default
port is 20940). The server computer must have a
static IP address(cannot use DHCP) or the
SF-200 will not be able to maintain a connection.
4. We advise that you change the default password
to something more secure after configuration.
5. Click the Submitbutton to save your changes.
6. The SF-200 will now show up in the Manage tab
of the NoventriSuitesoftware. You will then be able
to configure additional settings, such as player name,
location, timezone, etc through the Manage tab.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
1. Verify that the server computer has a
STATIC IP address (not DHCP). Ask your
network administrator to help set this up for you.
2. Double-click the Noventri Suite Download
on the Noventri Forum and Save the File.
Double-click on this file to start installation.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the
selected Suite and/or Server. Shortcuts will be
added to your desktop after installation is
complete.
Note: The Server software is only required if the
SF-200 is being used as a networked player.
NOVENTRI SERVER
The Noventri Server is the interface between
Noventri Suite and the SF-200 player.
At installation a default Server instance will be
created using port 20940.
The Server is monitored by Noventri Service
Manager, a service that runs in the background
and allows the Server to communicate with the
SF-200 player even if the user is logged off.
NOVENTRI SUITE

2. Noventri Suite is divided into three main
tabs. Design,Schedule, and Manage.
3. In the Design tab, create a New Project by

the Orientation of the display you plan to use
with this project, then select OK.
