  • How to configure a new or replacement DMP player for a Venus Control Suite controlled display.

Environment

  • Product: DB-6400

  • Control System: Venus Control Suite

Steps

NOTE:  This guide is for use by Technicians or Installers in the field.  

NOTE:  This guide is applicable to displays using Venus Control Suite.

NOTE:  Recommended tools to complete this work include: laptop, spare Ethernet cable, Ethernet coupler (RJ45 female-to-female).

  1. Setup laptop for direct (static IP) connection to devices.

  2. Directly plug the Ethernet cable from the DMP to your laptop.
    1. NOTE:  It is recommended to connect an Ethernet coupler to this cable and use a spare Ethernet cable to extend its reach so you can complete this work in a comfortable and safe position.  Alternatively, if the DMP is easily accessible, you may disconnect the existing cable and plug your spare cable directly into it from your laptop.
    1. This should be the cable that is currently plugged into VLAN 1 port 3 of the Meraki router.
