Introduction

Revised Apr. 25, 2007

This guide describes how to use your DMP device and how to use the preinstalled DMPDM software.

DMP devices can show networked digital video streams and multicast, high-quality MPEG video on any

television receiver or monitor (NTSC, PAL, LCD, plasma, or VGA) that you attach.

Tip To learn what other filetypes your DMP can render, see Supported Filetypes in the Embedded Browser,

page 1-5.

DMPDM helps you to deliver compelling digital media to one DMP display for many possible purposes:

•Marketing—Describe products and services directly to your in-store customers.

•Customer experience— Deliver entertainment and information to reduce perceived wait times.

•Messaging—Broadcast executive and internal communications in real time.

•Training —Deliver cost-effective, flexible training.

•Information—Deliver real-time schedules, news, and way-faring information where people need it.

•Advertising— Sell advertising time and space to third parties.

•Branding— Communicate about your brand consistently.

This guide assumes that you already completed the procedures in Quick Start Guide for Cisco Digital

Media Player 4300G and therefore all of the following are true:

•Your DMP is connected to:

–

A network with a DHCP server.

–

A DMP display.

–

A 120V AC electrical socket.

•You already:

–

Checked the LEDs to confirm that your DMP has power and has obtained an IP address.

–

Learned what dynamic IP address the DHCP server assigned to your DMP.

–

Used your browser to log in to the DMPDM administrative account.

–

Used DMPDM to configure video output settings for the DMP display.

–

(Optional) Used DMPDM to identify the one trusted DMM appliance from which your DMP

should accept centralized management instructions and file transfers.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Environmental Tolerances and Safety Guidelines

Warning

The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

The power supply must be placed indoors.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source.

This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that

the protective device is rated not greater than: 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international)

The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times, because it serves as the main

disconnecting device.

To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network

voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some

LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.

Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to an earth ground

during normal use.

When installing the unit, always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last.

Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment, observe the

following precautions.

•General Precautions, page 1-3

•Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge, page 1-4

•Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Cisco product except as explained in your

system documentation. Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with

a lightning bolt may expose you to electrical shock. Components inside these compartments should

be serviced only by an authorized service technician.

•If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace

the part or contact your authorized service provider:

–

The power cable, extension cord, or plug is damaged.

–

Chapter 1 Introduction

Environmental Tolerances and Safety Guidelines

•Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block

cooling vents.

•Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet

environment.

•Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or

electric shock by shorting out interior components.

•Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment.

•Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.

•Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type of power source

indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,

consult your service representative or local power company.

•Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power cable for your DMP

or for any AC-powered option intended for your DMP, purchase a power cable that is approved for

use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current

marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should

be greater than the ratings marked on the product.

•To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral power cables into

properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help

ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If

you must use an extension cord, use a three-wire cord with properly grounded plugs.

•Observe extension cord and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all

products plugged into the extension cord or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the extension

cord or power strip ampere ratings limit.

•Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your product.

•To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical

power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

•Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord and plug so that they

cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your system components' cables

or power cord.

•Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site

modifications. Always follow your local or national wiring rules.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside a DMP. To prevent static damage, discharge static

electricity from your body before you touch any electronic components. You can do so by touching an

unpainted metal surface on the chassis.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

•When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the

component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your

system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from

your body.

•When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

•Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and

workbench pads.
