0/1.1 interface) - to create backups of the SMS3 hard drive (cataloged music, configurations) 6 PRODUCT INTRODUCTION DESCRIPTION The SMS3
Smart Media Server is an intelligent audio source that plays music stored on its hard drive and plays streaming audio from the internet. The music is selected
and controlled by IR remote control, through the UNO keypads (RNET system) or networked computer.
The graphical user interface is viewed on a video display and within the web browser. The "3" in the SMS3 Smart Media Server name stands for its three
media streams or private virtual stations. Each of these streams acts as an independent source, with its own set of RCA connections. It is really three media
servers in one. The "Media" in the Smart Media Server name refers to its ability to store and display digital photos to accompany music selections. Over 2500
hours (4100 for SMS3-250) of compressed music can be stored on the SMS3. To preserve cataloged music and server configurations, Russound recommends
making periodic back-ups of the SMS3 hard drive. An external hard drive connects to the rear panel using a FireWire IEEE 1394 (strongly recommended) or
USB 2.0/1.1 interface.
The SMS3 Smart Media Server has a built-in CD-ROM reader and hard drive to archive stored files of audio CDs. Russound has teamed with Gracenote®
music recognition service and Muze® entertainment information service to provide CD information and album art for the SMS3 via the Internet. This
information, called metadata, includes song title, artist and album name, and genre (rock, jazz, etc.) When a CD is being cataloged by the SMS3, the media
server consults the Gracenote music recognition service database via the Internet (or from the database loaded onto the media server, when no internet
connection is present), then checks in to the Russound cover graphics server for album cover art from Muze that is displayed when the album is played. When
artist, album and track name are displayed, this information has been retrieved from the Gracenote CDDB music recognition service.
Once the music files are stored, they can be retrieved by artist, genre, song title, etc. With its internet connection the SMS3 can also stream internet radio or
be programmed to pick up an internet radio feed at scheduled times of the day for news or favorite programming. INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS The
SMS3 can be used in a Russound RNET-enabled system or in another IR-controlled audio system. It can be controlled by the SMS3-RC remote control,
through a web browser, or an RNET-system keypad and remote control. RNET-enabled System The SMS3 fully integrates with the CAM6.
6 and CAV6.6 multizone systems. It communicates via the RNET Link In/Out connection. Using an UNO keypad or SRC2 remote control for operation, UNO
keypads will display artist and song information. IR-controlled System The SMS3 can be controlled by infrared commands received through the IR connection
on the rear panel, in addition to the IR receiver on the front panel. There is one IR connection on the SMS3. You will need an IR link cable (Russound PN
09-0508 or equivalent) for this connection. The SMS3 IR codes may be learned into many other manufacturers' remote controls. RS-232-controlled System
The SMS3 can be controlled using the RNET RS-232 protocol provided via the RS-232 port on the rear panel. It can also be controlled by any
RS-232-enabled control system (e.
g., Crestron® or AMX®). Documentation on RS-232 operation is available to dealers on the Russound web site, www.russound.com. IP-controlled System
The SMS3 can be controlled through a telnet-style or http-style interface that provides full control and status of the SMS3 via the Ethernet network. 7
COMPONENT GUIDE SMS3 HANDLING AND POWER SMS3 Care and Handling The SMS3 Smart Media Server is a very sophisticated electronic
component. Accordingly, care should be taken not to drop, shake or bump the unit, especially when in use. Hardware The unit contains a full-size 160GB hard
drive (250GB for the SMS3-250), a powerful compact processor, an Ethernet LAN connection, and connections for a keyboard and mouse.

It supports an external hard drive (FireWire IEEE 1394, strongly recommended, or USB 2.
0/1.1) for database backups. The SMS3 will reformat the external hard drive on the first backup, so a dedicated backup hard drive is recommended. Software
For its operating system, the SMS3 Smart Media Server uses embedded Linux. When controlled by a networked computer, the SMS3 is compatible with
Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla Firefox web browsers.
Power The SMS3 Media Server is not designed to be shut on and off after each use. It should remain powered all the time. When used with the CAV6.6 or
CAM6.6 controller, the SMS3 will be power managed by default to disconnect all three streams after all zones have been off for 5 minutes.
This does not power off the SMS3. The SMS3 cannot be plugged into a switched outlet because it can be damaging to the hard drive when the unit
immediately loses power. Sudden losses of power can cause loss of essential operating data on the hard drive, causing the hard drive to no longer operate.
The only proper way to shut down the media server is to toggle the power switch up, allowing the unit to perform a graceful shutdown. SMS3 Software
Version 02.05.08 and higher supports automatic shutdowns when used with the APC Smart-UPS brand uninterruptible power supplies. No configuration is
necessary. Simply connect the SMS3 to the APC Smart-UPS with a USB cable. In the event of a power outage, the UPS will continue to power the SMS3 until
its battery life reaches a low level.
At that point the UPS will issue a command to the SMS3 via the USB cable to initiate a graceful shutdown. CAV6.6 CAT-5 RJ-45 cable SMS3 LINK RCA

OVERVIEW VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS IMPORTANT: The SMS3 should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. Do not block vents above or to the sides of the unit, as it requires ventilation to the sides and above for proper operation. Do not expose to
excessive dust, and do not allow dust to build up on the unit and block vent holes.

http://somemanuals.com/dref/77375

Do not place the SMS3 above a heat-generating component such as an audio amplifier, and do not place a heat-generating component directly above the
SMS3. Be sure to leave at least 2 inches of space to the sides of the unit with open air flow above.
A single-space rack mount vent or about 1.75 inches must be kept clear above the unit. AUTOMATIC THERMAL SHUTDOWN The SMS3 is equipped with a
thermal threshold shut down that is activated through the server's software. Excessive dust build-up on the internal heat sink can cause a shut down. If a
thermal shut down occurs, the unit will emit a warbled beep for five seconds, then will power off.
If this occurs, do not re-power the SMS3 until sufficient cooling time (at least 10 minutes) has passed. Check for proper unit ventilation and remove any dust
build-up with compressed air. If the unit is powered while temperatures are still above threshold, the SMS3 will repeat the beep and shut down again. SMS3

the SMS3 (IP address) on the LAN TROUBLESHOOTING NETWORK PROBLEMS 1. Are the LEDs on the Ethernet connector (back of SMS3) illuminated? If
NO, troubleshoot cable and connection. This LED lights up when ANY network is connected. 2. What does the SMS3 report as its IP address (page 20)? If no
IP address appears, then DHCP is not working. Refer to router instructions.
10 INSTALLATION OPTIONS LAN WITH CABLE OR DIAL-UP MODEM NOTE: For security reasons, it is REQUIRED that the SMS3 be connected to the
internet behind a DHCP router with NAT/Firewall. The router cannot be in bridge mode and the SMS3 cannot be placed in the router's DMZ. The diagram
above shows a typical LAN connection for homes using a Cable or DSL modem to connect to the Internet. The SMS3 connects to the DHCP router with

OPTIONS VIDEO DISPLAY Distributed Video Signal The SMS3 Smart Media Server uses a video display to show the graphical user interface during
operation. The SMS3 outputs one video signal that is available in three formats - composite video, S-video and VGA.
The SMS3 supports only one video output format in use at any given time. For simultaneous video outputs, a commercial product that allows this should be
used. An example is the GrandTec GEZ-1000 USB 1.1 PC to Video Cable product, which supports simultaneous composite, S-video and VGA outputs. To view
the SMS3 interface, connect a video display (TV, display panel, etc.) directly to the SMS3 back panel using an S-video, composite video or VGA connection.
Another viewing option is connecting a computer monitor to the SMS3 15-pin VGA connection on the rear panel. There are several options available to
distribute the SMS3 video display. With video distribution systems such as the CAV6.6, the composite video signal must be shared between all three streams
(sources).
The CAV6.6 has a video signal output for each source input that can be looped to the next input with an RCA video patch cable.

SMS3 INSTALL user guide
http://somemanuals.com/dref/77375

For non-video distribution systems such as the CAS44, an RF modulator and RF distribution amplifier may be used as an alternate means of distributing
video to each room in the system. With one video stream out, if there is more than one video interface (TV, display) using the same signal, all show the same
view and all will update at the same time. When a menu command is received by the SMS3, the video signal will display the stream that was the target of the
command. Note: The video display is auto-sensing; it is looking for a load on the composite or S-video connection. If the video is connected after the SMS3 is
powered, there will be no signal, as the SMS3 default setting is VGA output only. Simply reboot the SMS3 after connecting to a TV or video display, and the
video display will sense the load. CAV6.6 With Distributed Video Signal In a CAV6.
6 system, the SMS3's three streams are configured as three sources, with command type PERIPHERAL. Its composite video signal is shared between all three
sources by using an RCA cable to loop the video from source out to source in. Refer to the diagram on the next page for connections. 1. Connect the three
RCA cables from the SMS3 three sources to the controller amplifier source inputs.
For RNET-enabled systems, SMS3 source numbers are preconfigured: SMS3 Stream 1=RNET Source 3 SMS3 Stream 2=RNET Source 4 SMS3 Stream
3=RNET Source 5 These source numbers can be re-configured from the SMS3 if necessary. 2. Connect a CAT-5 patch cable from the CAV6.6 RNET Link Out
port to the SMS3 RNET Link In port. 3.
Using a straight-through Ethernet RJ-45 CAT-5 patch cable, connect from the SMS3 LAN port to an open port on the network router. 4. Connect the
composite video cable from the SMS3 composite video port to the Source 3 video input. 5. Use an RCA loop cable to connect the Source 3 video out to Source
4 video in. Loop another cable from Source 4 video out to Source 5 video in. 6. Connect an RCA cable from the video source's video in jack to the CAV6.6's

Signal Note: CAM6.6 installation is similar to CAV6.6 above but without video support. Please refer to Page 14 for employing RF modulation to distribute
video in non-video distribution systems. 13 INSTALLATION OPTIONS CAS44 WITH RF MODULATED DISTRIBUTED VIDEO SIGNAL In multisource, non-
video distribution systems such as the CAS44, the SMS3's three streams are configured as three sources. To distribute the video signal, an RF modulator and
RF distribution amplifier may be used as an alternate means of distributing video to each room in the system.
The composite video out of the SMS3 is supplied to an RF modulator to convert the signal to a specific channel which the television tuners throughout the
home can receive, just like a TV station. An RF distribution amplifier will accept the RF modulator's output, amplify and distribute it to multiple outputs that
can be wired to each television through a coaxial cable such as RG6. The television will need to be tuned to the channel that the RF modulator is set for in
order to see the composite video signal output of the SMS3. CAS44 Installation with RF Modulator 1. Using the three RCA cables, connect the SMS3's three
source outputs to the controller amplifier source inputs.
2. Using the IR link cable, connect the controller amplifier's IR emitter port to the SMS3 IR In port. 3. Using a straight-through Ethernet RJ-45 CAT-5 patch
cable, connect from the SMS3 LAN port to an open port on the network router.

20 START UP TEST OPERATIONS After all audio connections are made, a connection to the LAN is established and a video display is connected to show
the media server interface, the SMS3 should be powered up and tested.
POWER UP Attach the external power supply connector to the SMS3's power jack. Plug the power supply into an unswitched powered outlet. The SMS3
cannot be plugged into a switched outlet because it can be damaging to the hard drive when the unit immediately loses power. Sudden losses of power can
cause loss of essential operating data on the hard drive, causing the hard drive to no longer operate. To power the SMS3, toggle the front panel power switch
up; the red power LED will light up.
The only proper way to shut down the media server is to toggle the power switch up, allowing the unit to perform a graceful shutdown in four seconds. When
used with the CAV6.6 or CAM6.6 controller, the SMS3 will be power managed by default to disconnect all three streams after all zones have been off for 5
minutes. START UP It will take a few minutes for the SMS3 to complete its boot-up procedure.
During boot-up two beeps will sound. The first beep indicates a good LAN connection and the second beep indicates a connection to the DHCP server. Once
boot-up is completed, the home page will appear on the local video display (TV or monitor). SMS3 Smart Media Server "Home" Page 21 START UP TEST

START UP OPTIONS & STATUS CONFIGURATION BACKUP Backups of the media server's hard drive should be performed on a regular basis to preserve
and protect the files. An external hard drive is used (160GB or higher, 250GB or higher for SMS3-250; FireWire IEEE 1394 strongly recommended, or USB
2.0/1.1 interface). The external hard drive must be dedicated to the SMS3, as backups reformat the drive.
The drive should be left connected to the SMS3 to be available for incremental backups as music and media are added. Do not connect the formatted backup
drive to a computer. Select Backup or Auto-Backup Select Backup or Fast Backup Select Auto-Backup The SMS3 supports a standard Backup, Fast Backup or
Auto-Backup. A standard backup option takes the most time to complete, but preserves audio stream quality while in process. A fast backup option may be
selected to speed up the backup process, but audio stream quality may be affected (drop-out or skip). Fast backup may cause audio dropouts and cause the
user interface to feel sluggish. An automatic backup option performs a standard backup every day at 4 a.m. when the external hard drive is connected to the
SMS3. This option is either enabled or disabled.
The first time a complete backup is performed on the media server, it may take a few hours or a few days, depending on how many files are loaded into the
media server's hard drive, and how much the media server is being used during the backup. Once the initial backup is performed, subsequent backups should
take much less time. These are incremental backups and only copy those files that are new or have changed since the last backup. Once the external hard
drive is connected to the SMS3, select Backup/Restore from the Options & Status page. Choose Backup or Auto-Backup.
From the System Backup page, select either Backup or Fast Backup. The media server will display "Backup/Restore in progress" on the screen. The SMS3
will display "Backup procedure is complete" when finished. When Auto-Backup is selected, the Automated Backup page appears. Choose Enable to set
automatic backups, and Disable to end automatic backups.
Check the SMS3 system time settings for accuracy, as the Auto-Backup commences at 4 a.m. according to the SMS3's time setting. 30 START UP OPTIONS &
STATUS CONFIGURATION RESTORE The Restore function restores the media server's database and configurations using a previously recorded backup
from that hard drive. Restore is used only in case of a hardware failure.
You're reading an excerpt. Click here to read official RUSSOUND
SMS3 INSTALL user guide
http://somemanuals.com/dref/77375

After selecting Backup/Restore, make sure the external hard drive is connected to the FireWire (strongly recommended) or USB port on the back of the
SMS3. Select Restore. The media server will display "Backup/Restore in progress" on the screen. Once the Restore procedure is complete, the SMS3 will
restart. CONFIGURE There are several "installer only" settings that should be reviewed during SMS3 installation.
These settings are accessed through the password (abc) protected "Configure" selection under Options & Status. The Configuration options are: Encoding
Format, Stream Options, Online Update, Network Settings and Import HDD. 31 START UP OPTIONS & STATUS CONFIGURATION ENCODING FORMAT
The encoding format for CDs must be set before cataloging music. When the media server reads an audio CD and stores the tracks as files on its internal hard
drive, the encoding format tells it how to convert and store that file. It can be converted with no loss of information or some loss of information, stored
compressed to save hard drive space, or stored uncompressed to preserve its playback quality. FORMAT The format choices available are WAV, FLAC, OGG
and MP3 (default setting). Each encoding format is unique and has its advantages depending on your preferences. WAV Audio files in WAV format are
uncompressed and retain all information when encoded. Use WAV when audio playback quality is valued over preserving hard drive space on the media
server, or if file size is not a concern. FLAC Audio files in FLAC format are compressed to at least 50% of their original style but are lossless, meaning that
audio is compressed without any loss in audio playback quality.
Use FLAC when smaller file size is as important as playback quality. OGG (short for OGG Vorbis) Audio files in OGG format are compressed and may lose
some information to make them smaller. Typically, OGG removes only those parts that won't be noticed by the human ear. Use OGG when small file size and
hard drive space conservation is more important than original-quality playback. 32 START UP OPTIONS & STATUS CONFIGURATION MP3 Audio files in
MP3 format are compressed, and may lose some information to make it easier to compress.
As with OGG, the information lost with MP3 is typically not discernable to the average listener. Use MP3 when smaller files are desired (if the audio files
may be moved to a portable MP3 player) or if hard disk space is at a premium. Playback quality will be less than that of the original, but should not be
discernable to the listener. QUALITY If you choose MP3 or OGG, (an encoding format that compresses the file), you must also select a Quality setting: High,
Normal or Economy. The differences between the settings are compression rates and information loss.
High - Less compression, more information retained (MP3 = 320 Kbps, OGG = 184 Kbps) Normal - Standard level of compression and information loss
(MP3 = 192 Kbps, OGG = 121 Kbps) Economy - More compression, less information retained (MP3 = 92 Kbps, OGG = 87 Kbps) CHANGING THE
ENCODING QUALITY From the Options & Status page, choose Configure. Enter the password "abc" to reach the Encoding Format page. Under Format,
select WAV, FLAC, OGG or MP3. If OGG or MP3 is selected, proceed to Quality. Select High, Normal or Economy. Note: The Encoding Format and Quality
setting stay in effect for every CD cataloged until the settings are changed. If you want different encoding quality settings for different music CDs, you must
choose the desired settings prior to cataloging those CDs. STREAM OPTIONS There are five selections to make under Stream Options: Stream Names, RNET
Sources, Remote Control, Volume Leveling and Output Levels. STREAM NAMES The SMS3's three streams are pre-named Stream 1, Stream 2 and Stream 3.
These names can be edited from this page.
Select the window next to the Stream Name # and enter the new name using the name entry field. 33 START UP OPTIONS & STATUS CONFIGURATION
Note: If used with an RNET-enabled system, changes to the SMS3 stream names appear within the graphical user interface only and DO NOT show up on the
UNO keypads.
You're reading an excerpt. Click here to read official RUSSOUND
SMS3 INSTALL user guide
http://somemanuals.com/dref/77375

UNO keypads display only source names assigned through the RNET system. To eliminate confusion, it is recommended to match the CAV/CAM source
names with the media server's stream names. RNET SOURCES When the SMS3 is used in an RNET-enabled system, the three streams are associated with
source numbers within the RNET system. The SMS3's streams are pre-configured: Stream 1=Source 3, Stream 2=Source 4, Stream 3=Source 5. These can be
reassigned from this screen if necessary; however, command type PERIPHERAL must be set for selected source numbers in the RNET system. For a non-
RNET system, or RNET systems that are not using all three streams, the "No RNET Source" selection is available. 34 START UP OPTIONS & STATUS
CONFIGURATION REMOTE CONTROL On the SMS3-RC remote control, the Favorite buttons can be assigned to specific themes. The F1, F2 and F3
buttons are pre-assigned with three of the media server's default themes.
To assign a new theme to a favorite button, select the field next to the button name to bring up a list of themes, then select one of the themes for that button.
Once a theme has been assigned to a Favorite button, it can be recalled at a touch without navigating through screens. VOLUME LEVELING Volume
leveling adjusts the playback level of songs to compensate for differing recording levels of music files. This setting "evens out" the volume changes between
songs played in themes and is enabled or disabled for each stream. Leveling is applied only when a song is heard on playback and does not change the saved
file's compression setting.
35 START UP OPTIONS & STATUS CONFIGURATION OUTPUT LEVELS The Output Levels can be adjusted to reduce volume on a per-stream basis if
users are experiencing "hot" outputs or static bleed-through to amplifiers. Many multizone controllers and receivers have different input sensitivity levels. The
SMS3 has the ability to set reduced line-output levels in the event that the default levels over-drive some pieces of equipment. For instance, if you are
connecting to an external amplifier from the zone line-level outputs on the CAV6.6 or CAM6.
6, if you encounter distortion or audio clipping from the media server source, set the Output Level to Reduced in the Stream Options menu. You can change
the output level on a perstream basis for maximum flexibility. ONLINE UPDATE Note: As a precaution, it is highly recommended that you complete a backup
of the database before performing online updates! The update process is designed to preserve the database, but data should be protected with a backup to be
safe. Note: After completing any update to the SMS3, be sure to clear the browser cache of all web browsers on computers used with the SMS3 in order to
view the updates. The SMS3 firmware can be updated via an online process from the Online Update page. During the online update, the media server must be
connected to an active internet feed. Select Online Update, and when ready, select Initiate Update. The media server will lock out user functions during this
time. When the update is complete, the page will display an "Update Complete" message and the media server will be restarted. 36 START UP OPTIONS &
STATUS CONFIGURATION NETWORK SETTINGS The Network Settings page allows a Static IP address to be entered for the SMS3.
Using a static IP address makes it easier to bookmark the SMS3 for easy access from a computer's browser. The current IP address of the SMS3 is shown at
the top of the window. If a static IP address is desired, enter the IP address in the window next to Static IP and select Apply IP. The new IP address will show
at the top of the window. Note: A DHCP server with NAT/firewall is still required for the SMS3 even if a static IP address is to be used. Note: Do not enter a
Static IP address that matches its dynamic IP address or that falls within the DHCP server's address allocation pool. Refer to the DHCP server's manual for
more information. 37 START UP OPTIONS & STATUS CONFIGURATION IMPORT HDD The Import HDD page provides an interface to allow importation
of music files specifically from an external hard drive that has been loaded by a music encoding service (ReadyToPlay).

A music encoding service takes a collection of music CDs and loads them onto an external hard drive in formats supported by the SMS3. The resulting music
files and metadata are now ready to be loaded on the SMS3.
To import files from an external hard drive that has been loaded by a music encoding service (ReadyToPlay), select Import HDD and connect the drive to the
SMS3. Power the drive on, and select Continue. On the next screen, press Start Import when ready. This process takes about 15 minutes per gigabyte of data
on the disk. Note: The external hard drive must stay powered and connected during the import process.
