Product label
The model of the device, the power supply characteristics, the serial number (PSN) and the MAC address are written on a label stuck on the case.
Packingbox label
This is the label stuck also on the packingbox. It is showing information on:
the device model,
the serial number (PSN).
Some additional labels may be present in case of built-in options.
☛ The serial number of the device could be req uested in case of technical support.

1.2.4Device start-up step
Step 1 (T0 = 0 s)
Device start-up initialisation
Step 2 (T ~ 11s)
Device start-up finalisation
This phase duration is depending on
some variable values ( lik e NTP) ,
some network access duration or
some data check ing ( check -disk )
Step 3 (T ~ 38 s)
Nominal mode
During this step, the device has to
play the App content.
*  After firmware upgrade occurred,
in case valid DNS & inactivated
NTP server, it takes ~ 4min30 s.

1.2.5Test card
At the factory, the device content set by default is the Test Card . The chart displays important information to assist in the device configuration:
☛ The * star pictogram is showing the chosen identifi cation method in the device. It can be H O STNAME 1, UUID 2 or MAC 3. In the example,
the star is showing the MAC identifi cation method ( default value) .
☛ The  k ey pictogram 4 is showing the MAC address value associated to the Gek k ota license k ey.
☛ The up STATE 5 is meaning that the network interface currently showed is alive. If the STATE is down , the network interface is not alive.
The Test Card can be inactivated by using the Administration console user interface.
If the CEC is activated on your screen, and the CEC pass-through feature is fully supported, the test card can be activated or inactivated thanks to the
screen remote control with the key combination [ left, right, left, right] pressed in less than 10 seconds.

Warning: Fail Soft Mode Level 1
Frequent device reboot detected (for example 4 times in less than ½ hour)
Message is displayed on the screen: « Fail Soft Mode: waiting for new content » .
The instability has been caused probably by a content media not supported yet by the Gekkota OS. Consequently, to
prevent any further reboot, the content has been invalided. The message displayed on the screen indicates that a
new publication is needed to go ahead. ²

Frequent device reboot detected (for example 4 times in less than ½ hour)
Content is purged
Message is displayed on the screen « Fail Soft Mode: waiting for new content » .
The instability has been caused probably by a content not supported yet by system or one user preference which
has been modified. Consequently, to prevent any further reboot, the content has been invalidated and user
preferences (saved before unexpected reboot) have been restored. The message displayed on the screen indicates
that a new publication is needed to go ahead. ²

Warning: Check disk
The device has detected memory corruption on content storage. The media storage is being repaired. This repair
step is called Check-Disk and its duration can be several minutes. During this step, a message “ checking the file
system of data partition in progress” is displayed on the screen. ³

Part II Applicative user interface

17
2.1Applicative user interface
The SMA300 device has a Web user interface that can be accessed with a Web browser. The supported browsers are: Google Chrome , Mozilla Firefox ,
MS-Edge and MS-Edge (Chromium) .
It is accessible from the URL: http://<device_ IP_ addr>/ .
B y default, the login credentials for the device Web user interface are:
login: admin ,
password: admin .
The URL falls automatically into the applicative user interface: http://<device_ IP_ addr>/.playout/ . This pane allows to watch the App content:
WebDAV directories
Clicking on the parent directory provides access to the root of the device' s WebDAV server, which provides access to directories, among other things:
.playlog/ : location to store data for mediametry,
.resources/ : location to store the resources of the device Web user interface,
.software/ : location to store .frm middleware for updates,
.status/ : location to store the device status file status.xml ,
.upnp/ : location to store device.xml device status for upnp detection,
.assets/ : location to store some of the resources of the device Web user interface,
.playout/ : location to store the App when deployed on the device,
.log/ : location to store the application logs, when they are activated.

Part III Administration console user interface

19
3.1Administration console user interface
The SMA300 device has a Web user interface that can be accessed with a Web browser. The supported browsers are: Google Chrome , Mozilla Firefox ,
MS-Edge and MS-Edge (Chromium) .
It is accessible from the URL: http://<device_ IP_ addr>/ .
B y default, the login credentials for the device Web user interface are:
login: admin ,
password: admin .
The URL falls automatically into the applicative user interface¹ . At the top right corner, click on the Administration Console button.
¹ For further information, refer to the chapter § Applicative user interface.
With the button at the top right corner 1, choose the language in which your device Web user interface needs to be displayed. The supported
languages are:
English,
Spanish,
German,
French.
◬ It is desirable that your device SMA300 device is on time. When possible, do synchronize it with an NTP server.
This is the Administration console user interface.
◬ After you have changed and saved all your settings in the different panes, be sure to perform a device restart by clicking on the Reboot the
device 2 button so that your changes are fully reflected.
Click on the device logo 1 at the left top corner to return to the applicative user interface.
◬ If the device does not respond to its IP address, either the device power supply is unplugged, or the Ethernet cable is not connected, or the
network configuration is not properly adjusted. To solve the problem, if your computer and local network supports IPV6, connect an Ethernet
cable on the device and connect to the device Web user interface with its IPV6 address, which can be found on the test pattern displayed on
the screen.
For example, for the MAC address value: ` ` 00-1c-e6-02-1e-45` ,
In a Web browser, enter the URL: http://[ fc00::21c:e6ff:fe02:1e45] /.admin/
To obtain the application note reminding some notions about IPV6 configuration, refer to the appropriate application note on the Qeedji Web
site.

3.1.1Configuration > Administrator
In the Configuration pane, select the Administrator menu to change:
the hostname,
the login credentials,
the device identification method:
MAC (default),
Hostname ,
UUID .
For security reasons, it may be useful to change the login credentials to access to the device' s Web user interface. Please keep these login credentials
in a safe place afterwards.
☛ The same login credentials are used to access to the WebDAV server.
It is recommended that you enter one unique Hostname value for each device. In case several SMA300 devices are located in different buildings or
geographical locations, we recommend that you enter hostname values with information about the building and the location (e.g. Hall-RD-Paris-1 ).
