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 DME204 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.

☛ On this device, it is required to allow mulcast on LAN1 and LAN2 ports to support 802.1X authencaon methods.

☛ 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 > Output

From the Configuration pane, select the Output menu to change the audio and video encoding sengs and the broadcast mode of your device.

ASI : allows DVB-T broadcasng through a dedicated modulator ( MOE10 ).

☛ Some UDP stream receivers may not be able to correctly play the DME204 UDP stream when audio is turned oﬀ. To work around this problem, enable "Audio".

☛ In order for 802.1X authencaon to be supported on the LAN1 port, Allow multicast must be checked for LAN1 , whether the broadcast is ASI or Ethernet .

Similarly, for 802.1X authencaon to be supported on the LAN2 port, Allow multicast must be checked for LAN2 .

☛ For beer rendering of your media, especially scrolling text overlay, please set the display mode on the DME204 side to the same frequency (e.g., 60 Hz) as the display

mode on the devices receiving the stream (e.g., 60 Hz).

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.

2.1.4 Conﬁguraon > App

An App is a custom applicaon that, once loaded on the device, allows you to play a broadcast channel or play content that a user has programmed.

From the Configuration pane, select the App menu to select how the App is loaded.

For each mode, you can use the Purge App or Restart App buons at any me to remove the App from the device or restart it, respecvely.

☛ The Restart App or Purge App cannot work when Testcard is acvated.

☛ In order to restart an App , the App must be present on the device.

Local deposit : Allows you to load an App from the device's web interface and play its contents immediately.

Use the Drop file here box or click to add one to drop your App .

Then click on the Load App buon. When the ﬁle disappears from the interface, the App is loaded and launches automacally.

☛ App development is reserved for advanced users with soware development skills. The content of the App must contain at least these 2 ﬁles manifest.xml and

player.html . Then archive your App in one of the supported formats: *tar.gz, *.zip, *.tar, *.tgz . App examples are available at github SDK-G4 API (PDF example).

For more informaon, contact [email protected]ech.

Push WebDAV : Conﬁgure the device to receive a published App from any WebDAV client or compable soware suite. Once the App is received, its content is immediately

played.

☛ To ﬁnd out which soware suites are capable of publishing an App on Qeedji devices, contact [email protected].

Pull WebDAV : allows you to conﬁgure the device so that it can regularly retrieve an App from a remote WebDAV server. Once the App is retrieved, its content is immediately

played.
