QUICK START-UP GUIDE
Upgrade Firmware Through IFP
It may be necessary for you to upgrade to a more recent version of firmware in order to make the Ethernet
Feature work properly.
1.
Open Adtec’s Symphony-Net Software (July Version or Later)
2.
Choose your device. (Soloist 2 or Mirage)
3.
Open IFP Applet.
4.
Select Boot Key Mode* or Non Boot Key Mode
5.
Select Units (Left Window) to upgrade firmware
6.
Browse Hard Drive for S19 File to upload
a.
Date will appear under top window. Make sure that it is the appropriate date
code.
7.
Click Program Application Button
8.
Monitor Progress in right hand window.
*The boot key (9-pin key with pins 4 and 9 soldered together) must be placed on the unit prior uploading
firmware. The unit must then be reset and the user must verify the alternating video and drive lights on
the front panel. After the unit receives new firmware, the boot key must be removed and the unit must be
reset.
Boot Key
NOTE: If you are using a July Version or later Version of Firmware before upgrading, you do not have
to use the Boot Key. You can connect to the Soloist through the Com Port and upgrade the Firmware.
This is very useful for upgrading your Soloist over a modem. The unit can still play function while the
firmware is being loaded. However, you will have to Reset the unit in order for the new firmware to take
effect.
Soloist 2 / Mirage – Ethernet Setup
QUICK START-UP GUIDE
Install Feature Keys
Feature Keys will enable special feature of the Soloist2. Otherwise the unit may flash the video and drive
lights simultaneously. It is possible to change this setting through Terminal Mode, but it is recommended
to use the Console’s Interface.
1. Open Adtec’s Symphony-Net Software (July Version or Later)
2. Choose your device. (Soloist 2 or Mirage)
3. Open Console Applet.
4. Connect to unit (s) by selecting the CONNECTION area in the bottom right corner of the
screen.
5. Select Unit in top left-hand corner. There should already be a location for unit (s) to
program.
6. Select FEATURES tab. The features of the selected unit should appear along with the
Permanent and Temporary Locks.
7. Enter the appropriate FEATURE key for each feature to be enabled. Remember to press
<ENTER>. The feature should turn from Disabled (RED) to Enabled (GREEN)
immediately.
8. Repeat above step for each Feature to enable and repeat process for each unit (s) to be
changed.
Be aware that there is an email form from Adtec that will automate this process. If you have multiple
units and they are daisy-chained together through the RS-232 port, you may consider this option. All
features of the units will be updated automatically.
NOTE:
This option has a problem with email
received from AOL.
Set HOSTMODE Properties
Adtec refers to the LAN functions of a unit as the HOSTMODE properties of the unit. These properties
give an individual identity to the unit when you access the unit via Ethernet. Each command is further
explained in the Command Interface Manual. The commands may be executed from Soloist Console in
the Symphony software or directly from terminal.
1. Set Hostmode of Unit. The first soloist is usually set as the SERVER and the rest are
Clients.
2. Set the IPAddress of the Unit. This is four-digit decimal form. ###.###.###.###
3. Set the IPMask of the Unit. This is four-digit decimal form. ###.###.###.###
4. Set the GatewayIPAddress of the unit if applicable. This is only used when a gateway is
involved. The soloist can support up to 4 gateway addresses.
5. Set the HostIPAddress of the unit if applicable. This is used when you want the clients to
mirror the server. The soloist can support up to 4 Host addresses.
6. Set the HostTimer of the unit. This is applicable in a mirror setting only. It is the delay
in seconds between the clients querying the server for new information.
7. Set the ServerUserPassword. Default is SOLOIST, NONE. Both must be in CAPS.
8. Set the ClientUserPassword. Default is SOLOIST, NONE. Both must be in CAPS.
Soloist 2 / Mirage – Ethernet Setup
QUICK START-UP GUIDE
Power Off
The Soloist(s) must be powered down in order for the new HOSTMODE properties to take effect. Once
you power up the Soloist(s), the new properties will take effect.
Ping
After power up, you will need to PING the unit(s) to see if they will respond. Ping is a useful command
that will address the unit via its new IPAddress and respond with the time that it took the unit to respond.
The PING command is further explained in the Command Interface Manual.

Mirage Introduction
The Mirage represents years of engineering and market research culminating
into one simple, reliable, economical and powerful video tool. At its core, the
Mirage utilizes a high-speed 32-bit RISC CPU operating under ADTEC’s own
deterministic multitasking operating system. The core CPU is tightly integrated
with MPEG decoding, memory, drive host control and digital to analog circuitry
to provide the highest level of quality and reliability available. The Mirage will
provide years and years of total maintenance free operation without the need or
knowledge of sophisticated computers and operating systems.

Physical Concerns
Rack Mount Applications:
The Mirage was designed to be rack mounted and requires only one rack unit
(1RU). It does NOT require blank spaces above or below to remain within it’s
designed operating temperatures. The Mirage integrates a built in fan with side
panel discharge, make sure the side discharge has at least 1” of clear space to
allow for airflow.
Non Rack Mount Applications:
The Mirage can be tabletop or desk mounted as it ships with four rubber feet to
prevent skid or slipping on Formica finishes. In this application, make sure that
no heavy objects (over 25 pounds) are placed on top of the unit as this may
cause damage to the drives.
Power Concerns
Power Supply:
The Mirage ships with a six (6) foot standard SJT power cord with a three (3)
pin US type plug. Optionally, a European 3 PIN cord with plug is available. The
unit incorporates a universal input switch mode power supply. It carries the CE,
UL, CSA and TUV safety certifications. Valid input ranges from 70 to 240 volts
AC (VAC), 50 Hz or 60 Hz and uses between 20 and 65 watts based on the
number and type of hard drives used.
Audio and Video Concerns
Video Connections:
The MIRAGE uses video industry standard BNC connectors for video
connections.
\
Units can be rack mounted with
out fill panels between them.
%
The Mirage can be configured for
Composite and optional YC video
Audio Connections:
Mirage Intro
MPEG 2 PLAYER Version 3.0
Intro- Page 4 of 6 ADTEC,

INTRO
INTRO
The Mirage ships standard with RCA jack, Unbalanced (Hi impedance -10 dB,
56 K Ohm) audio connectors for left and right channels. If the SOLOBALYC
option is purchased, removable screw terminal (RST) connectors will be
supplied to facilitate low impedance (+4 dB, 600 Ohm) balanced audio. In
addition, a four (4) pin din connector.
Communications Concerns
Control Connectors:
The MIRAGE incorporates Parallel and Serial RS232 control. The Parallel port
utilizes a DB9 male connector and the RS232 ports utilize RJ-11 telephone
connectors. For specific information regarding the protocol and pin out, see the
Technical section.
Communications Connections:
The MIRAGE provides multi drop loop-through RS232 to allow a single PC
communications port or serial controller access to multiple units. Two RJ-11
connectors make up the In and Through connections. Adapters are provided to
connect the MIRAGE directly to a 9-pin or 25-pin PC communications port.
Hard Drive Concerns
The Mirage ONLY recognizes drives formatted using FAT 16. The DOS
FDISK utility limits the partition size to 2 Gigabytes; however, the Mirage can
partition and format drives with up to 4 Gigabyte FAT 16 partitions. The Mirage
can see up to 32 partitions per physical drive (128 Gigabytes/Drive). The Mirage
chassis can facilitate one (1) IDE hard drive mounted in 5.25” removable bay.
Summary:
The MIRAGE was designed to replace VCR’s and Laser (Video) Disk Players.
It will provide many years of high quality reliable video and audio. Should you
require technical support or supplies contact ADTEC at 615-256-6619 or
www.adtecinc.com.
%
The Mirage can easily be
controlled via serial or parallel
interfaces.
%
An unlimited number of units can
be controlled from one (1) RS232
serial port.
\
FAT 16 is the only file system the
Mirage recognizes. The Mirage
partitioned and formatted drives
can be seen in Win 95 and NT.
\
The Mirage ONLY uses IDE hard
drives.
