2.1 Conﬁguraon Web interface

The DMB400 device has a web-based conﬁguraon 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>/

By default, the login credenals for the conﬁguraon Web interface and the Web server are:

password: admin .

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/ : locaon to store data for mediametry,

.resources/ : locaon to store the resources of the conﬁguraon web interface,

.software/ : locaon to store .frm middleware for updates,

.status/ : locaon to store the device status ﬁle status.xml ,

.upnp/ : locaon to store device.xml device status for upnp detecon,

.assets/ : locaon to store some of the resources of the conﬁguraon web interface,

.playout/ : locaon to store the App is hosted when deployed on the device,

.log/ : locaon to store the applicaon logs, when they are acvated.

Administraon console

Click on the Administration Console buon to access the device conﬁguraon interface.

With the buon at the top right corner, choose the language in which your web interface should be displayed. The supported languages are:

English,

Spanish,

German,

French.

⚠ It is desirable that your device DMB400 is on me. When possible, do synchronize it with an NTP server.

◬

Aer you have changed and saved all your sengs in the diﬀerent panes, be sure to perform a restart of the device by clicking the Reboot the device buon so that

your changes are fully reﬂected.

Click on the device logo at the le top corner to return to the main page.

⚠ 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 conﬁguraon is not

properly adjusted. To solve the problem, if your computer and local network supports IPV6, connect a Ethernet cable on the device and connect to the device Web

interface with its IPV6 address, which can be found on the test paern displayed on the monitor.

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 applicaon note reminding some noons about IPV6 conﬁguraon, click on the link to the Qeedji site

2.1.1 Conﬁguraon > Administrator

In the Configuration pane, select the Administrator menu to change:

the hostname,

the login credenals,

the device idenﬁcaon method:

MAC (default),

Hostname ,

UUID .

For security reasons, it may be useful to change the login credenals for the device's conﬁguraon Web interface. Please keep these login credenals in a safe place aerwards.

It is recommended that you enter a unique Hostname value for each device. In case several DMB400 devices are located in diﬀerent buildings or geographical locaons, we

recommend that you enter hostname values with informaon about the building and the locaon (e.g. Hall-RD-Paris-1 ).

2.1.2 Conﬁguraon > LAN

In the Configuration pane, select the LAN menu to set up the network conﬁguraon of the LAN interface of your device:

If your device is not located in a secure network, select:

security: None.

If your device is located and properly declared in a secure network, select 802.1X , then select an 802.1X authencaon method supported by your RADIUS server:

security: 802.1x.

☛ In the context of a secure network, your device must ﬁrst be declared to your dedicated RADIUS server. Some idenﬁcaon methods require you to add a trusted

certificate (the one used by your RADIUS server) and/or a client certificate (generated with the MAC address of your device and the trusted cerﬁcate of the

RADIUS server); For more informaon, please contact your IT department.

☛ When using a 802.1X cerﬁcate with an expiraon date, in case your device is not on me or when the expiraon date has expired, the device is not able to access the

network anymore. To work around, you have to insert a USB sck containing a speciﬁc conﬁguraon script to set either a new cerﬁcate or update the device date and

me.

☛ By default, the device is conﬁgured with DHCP acvated. In case the end user doesn’t have a DHCP server, aer the DHCP meout, the device ends up using the stac IP

address whose the default value is 192.168.0.2 when never changed yet by the end user.

2.1.3 Conﬁguraon > WLAN

From the Configuration pane, select the WLAN menu to set up the network conﬁguraon of the WLAN interface on your device.

☛ The WLAN menu is only displayed when the WLAN opon is supported by your device.

Connection mode :

infrastructure: Allows you to establish a WIFI connecon between your device and a WIFI router:

Security :

None,

WEP,

WPA-Personal (PSK),

WPA2-Personal (PSK),

WPA-Enterprise (EAP),

WPA2-Enterprise (EAP).

adhoc: Allows you to establish a direct WIFI connecon between your device and e.g. your computer, without using a router.

Security :

None,

WEP.

The SSID Hidden opon tells to the device whether or not the SSID value is broadcast over the network by your WIFI router. It also allows you to deduce the subset of pair key

encryption and group key encryption modes supported.

The maximum lengths for WLAN crypto keys are:

for WEP key:

26 hexadecimal characters max.

for WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA2-Personal (PSK) keys:

63 ASCII characters max.

☛ TKIP pair (or group) key encrypon is not supported if the router is in IEEE 802.11n mode.

☛ Adhoc connecon is not supported by all computer types. For more informaon, contact your IT department.

☛ Selecng the WPA-Enterprise (EAP) or WPA-Enterprise (EAP) security implies that your device is located in a secure network, and therefore connects to a properly

conﬁgured WIFI router with a dedicated RADIUS server. Your device must ﬁrst be registered inside your dedicated RADIUS server. Some identification methods may

require you add a trusted certificate (the one used by your RADIUS server) and/or a client certificate (generated with the MAC address of your device and the

trusted cerﬁcate of the RADIUS server); For more informaon, please contact your IT department.

The WLAN interface is not checked by default.

2.1.4 Conﬁguraon > Output

From the Configuration pane, select the Output menu to conﬁgure, among other things, the unit's video and audio output.

☛ Warning: some screens may not support certain display modes. In this case, try another mode with the same resoluon.

☛ When supported by your display and device, if possible use a 60 Hz mode which is the smoothest mode for scrolling text.

¹ VESA DPMS sleep and standby output is performed either by a monitor sleep task programmed into an App, or by a power management task with the strongly

optimized mode.

Some monitors, due to their construcon, have been designed with an overscan, which means that the edges of your broadcast content on your device may not be visible

on your monitor even when choosing the right opomal resoluon for your monitor. To alleviate this problem, use the overscan on your Qeedji device to slightly reduce

the width and height of your container. While doing so, it is recommended to display the test paern of the device.

◬

when using the overscan, for a good conﬁguraon of your device, please make sure that your screen is not in Wall , Mozaic or Tile mode.
