4. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1) Initial Setup by Web Browser
All Plura monitors should be shipped with the latest versions of firmware/software at the time
of production, but in the case where an update is available, follow the appropriate steps below,
Each update is applied using the Control LAN UI. The Media LAN 2110 Control (out-band) is
also accessed via the Control LAN UI. Follow the instructions below to access this interface.
Chrome and Firefox browsers are recommended for control on Windows.
2) Connecting to the Control LAN User Interface “UI”
●Plug in the Ethernet cable to the Control LAN on the back of the monitor.
●Power on the unit and wait for the “PLEASE WAIT EMBER+ BOARD IS BOOTING”
message to go away (Figure 4)
Figure 4. Ember+ Board Booting
●On your Plura monitor, press the “Menu” button.
Select “Setup” →“Advanced” →“Network Config” to find the IP address of the Ember+
board (Figure 5).

●On your computer, open your web browser and go to the IP address of the monitor
(eg. 192.168.0.97 from the image above). You should see a landing page similar to that
shown in Figure 6 below.
Note: If the unit fails to establish a connection, add a port override to 8086 (suffix ':808
6/home' on the Control LAN IP address in the browser address line). If this connects
properly, please contact Plura Support to get and install the latest web update.
From the Control LAN UI landing page, the “Monitor Update” button is used to update
Ember+ Control, Ember+/TSL License, Monitor FPGA (some models), Monitor
Firmware (some models), and the Web UI itself. The “Media LAN 2110 Control
(out-band)” button is used to access out-band control of the 2110 module.

1) Overview
Each SFP-H-7 Series Type C Plura monitor defaults to the PIPM input source which is set
to display an internally generated 'blue screen' test signal from the 2110 module. The video
format defaults to 1080i59.94
2) Management via Control LAN UI
●Open the Control LAN UI Media LAN 2110 Control (out-band) page. Refer to section
'Connecting to the Control LAN UI'.
●The Media LAN 2110 Control has two-tab options for out-band control:
Main and Management. Figure 21 below shows the UI Main Tab.
●In the Main tab there are fields to set the Video, Audio, and the Ancillary flows’
configuration. Each flow allows configuration of both its Primary and Secondary fields
and has an Enable check box. Adjustable fields include the destination IP address, the
destination port, and video format (for primary video only, secondary video format is
always the same as the primary video format).
Figure 21. Main Tab
●The management tab offers both DHCP and Static IP configuration. To choose a Static
IP uncheck the DHCP check box (Figure 22). Once the Static IP values are entered click
on the submit button.
