Intermedia Delivery System

™

Installation

The following items are not supplied and are needed to complete the installation:

• USB Keyboard (KB-RFUSB recommended)

• USB Mouse

• HDMI

or Component-Capable Display

• Grounding wire (16 - 12 AWG) for grounding equipment together and connection to earth

ground

• Appropriate hand tools (wire cutters, screwdrivers, etc.)

• It is highly recommended that the ADMS-BR be attached to an uninterruptible power

supply such as the CEN-UPS1250.

CAUTION: Do not connect power cords until instructed to do so.

Installation consists of placing the ADMS-BR in position, either mounted in a rack or stacked

with other system components, and connecting the various input, output, and control

interface cables.

The ADMS-BR is supplied with the following:

• One power cable

• Two “ears” for rack mounting

First Time Use

Connect the power cable to the ADMS-BR and verify that power to the unit is on (press the

switch on the rear of the unit and/or the power button on the front as necessary). The unit then

goes through an internal startup procedure that takes about one minute.

When you first power on the ADMS-BR you must accept the End User License Agreement

(EULA) which is displayed on the On-Screen-Display (OSD) which is connected to the

ADMS-BR. The front panel display will alert you to “Please See On Screen Display”. You may

click on the Agree button (or press Alt-A).

The system can be turned on and off with the front panel power button. Turn the system off by

pressing the power button briefly. It may take some time to shut down.

Pressing and holding the power button for five seconds performs a hard shutdown. This

should only be done if the system has been unresponsive for 30 minutes.

B. Navigation

The ADMS-BR interface is made to be used with a D-Pad (Up/Down/Left/Right/Enter) set of

buttons. Press F11 to move back a page in the menu system; press F12 to return to the main

menu.

The mouse is used only in the setup screens. The rest of the interface is meant to be used

with a keyboard or remote control. In the Internet browser and Internet TV functions, the

D-Pad buttons simulate a mouse moving around.

A. Apply Power

NOTE: Connect either HDMI OR VGA output but not both. Connecting

both outputs will result in poor video playback issues due to HDCP errors.

1. From the Home screen, scroll down to Advanced and press Enter. The Advanced screen is

displayed.

2. From the Advanced screen, scroll down to Advanced Configuration and press Enter. The

Advanced Configuration login is displayed. Enter the password ‘dealeradmin’ and press Enter. The

SETUP MENU is displayed.

3. Access the following setup functions. Additional details regarding setup functions are given in the

ADMS(-BR) Operations Guide (Doc. 6854).

Audio Settings

Set your audio settings by pressing the Audio button. Here you can select what connections to use for

audio. If you are using HDMI audio you will want to switch to the HDMI input on your receiver first.

Video Settings

If you are using HDMI please make sure that your TV is set to dot by dot or a non-stretching mode. Use

the Adjust Screen Size controls to adjust the size.

Ethernet Settings

Press the Ethernet button to setup network settings. Note that if using static addressing you MUST

enter DNS servers. Failure to do so will make Internet features not work.

IP Table

Setup the IP Table. For details, refer to the ADMS(-BR) Operations Guide (Doc. 6854).

Time Zone

It is important to set the ADMS-BR to the proper time zone from the Date Time button on the SETUP

MENU. There is maintenance that runs at 4AM local time. The ADMS-BR does not synchronize its

clock with the control system - instead one or more time servers can be used. Note that

time.windows.com is unreliable.

Screensaver

The ADMS-BR includes a photo screensaver. By default, photos in the ADMS-BR photo share are

used. New photos can be copied by connecting to the ADMS-BR photo share (username: user,

password: useradmin).

VNC

A VNC server is installed on the ADMS-BR. This will allow you to access the ADMS-BR remotely. The

following actions are recommended:

1. Allow access to port 5900 on the ADMS-BR. You may want to choose a different external port to

move from the well-known port. Optionally you can change the local port from the advanced menu

but this is usually not needed.

2. Optionally change the VNC password from the default "dealeradmin."

3. Optionally allow access to port 41795 for console access.

Importing Media

If the user has media on an existing network server the content can be imported by using the

Library/Library Folders function. Add each folder that you would like the ADMS-BR to monitor for

content. You have an option to copy files to the ADMS-BR itself or to simply reference the content in

place.

You also have the option of designating another location to look for photos.
