Default IP Address

By default, the DTV-MA01 is set to DHCP.

Note: The DTV-MA01 must be set to a static IP address, or have the DHCP server set

up to always give it the same IP address.

Automatic re-assignment of the IP address via DHCP may cause communication issues with

the TDS system. If the DTV-MA01 is assigned a new IP address, then all TX and RX units in

the system must be rebooted.

Network Switch Requirements

The DTV-MA01 requires a Layer 3 Gigabit Switch with multicast support, IGMP Querier/

Snooping and PIM.

Audio Output Connector

The green 1/8" stereo connector provides analog audio output.

AMX TDS Installation Overview

This section gives a brief overview of the steps required to get the AMX TDS system up and

running. All configuration is done via options in the Digital TV Configuration Manager web

console. See the AMX TDS Operation Reference Guide for a full description of the pages

and features contained in the web console.

1) Set a Static IP Address for the DTV-MA01

The first step is to make the basic connections to the DTV-MA01 in order to set a Static IP

Address for the unit. This will allow you to add the DTV-MA01 to a LAN for subsequent

configuration and control:

Note: The DTV-MA01 must be set to a static IP address, or have the DHCP server set

up to always give it the same IP address. Automatic re-assignment of the IP address via

DHCP may cause communication issues with the TDS system. If the DTV-MA01 is

assigned a new IP address, then all TX and RX units in the system must be rebooted.

1. Connect a USB Keyboard and mouse to any two USB Ports on the unit (see FIG. 1).

Note: By default, the DTV-MA01 recognizes all USB keyboards as UK-Style

Keyboards. There are subtle differences in the key layouts between UK and US

keyboards. Therefore, if you are using a US style keyboard to enter data, verify that

you are getting the expected results as you type. This should not be an issue if you

are only entering basic login credentials and IP address information.

2. Connect a monitor to the SVGA (or HDMI) Video Output on the rear panel.

3. Plug in the provided power cable.

4. Press the Power Switch on the front panel to power the unit on.

5. Once the unit is powered up, you will prompted to login using the default User Name

and Password:

•Default User Name: “amxdtv” (case-sensitive)

•Default Password: "admin" (case-sensitive)

6. Either via the Control Panel (Network Connections) or a Terminal session, set a static

TCP/IP Address for the DTV-MA01 (make a note of the address, you’ll need it in the

next step).

If your Network Administrator does not allow static TCP/IP addressing, they will have to

setup the DHCP server to always give the DTV-MA01 the same IP address.

2) Access the TDS Configuration Pages

1. Power-up the DTV-MA01.

2. On any PC that has access to the LAN to which the DTV-MA01 is connected, open a

web browser and enter the following default URL to access the TDS Configuration

Pages (on the DTV-MA01):

http://<IP Address assigned to the DTV-MA01>:8080/TDS/web/TxNetworkPage.xml

3. Press enter to be prompted for the default User Name and Password for the

DTV-MA01:

•Default User Name: "amxtds"

•Default Password: "admin" (case-sensitive)

4. Press OK to proceed to the built-in Web Console called the "Digital TV Configuration

Manager".

The Digital TV Configuration Manager allows you to configure the Receiver and all

Transmitters in the TDS solution via a web browser on any PC that has access to the LAN

to which the DTV-MA01 is connected.

3) Configure the NetLinx Master for AMX TDS

While it is not a requirement of the TDS System, many installations utilize a NetLinx Master

(in conjunction with one or more touch panels) for system control.

By utilizing the NetLinx AMX TDS Module (available to download from www.amx.com) on

the Master, the TDS Transmitters and Receivers can interface with NetLinx code to perform

various functions (such as controlling screens via Serial) which can't be done through the

web pages described in this document.

In order to use a NetLinx Master with the TDS system, two steps must be taken to prepare

the Master (both require the NetLinx Studio application):

1. The AMX TDS Duet Module (.JAR file) must be loaded on the Master.

2. The Master’s Source Code file must be modified slightly and reloaded to the Master.

Load the AMX TDS Module on the NetLinx Master

1. Download the Duet Module file - AMX_DIGITAL_TV_Server_dr00_01_00.JAR, from

www.amx.com.

2. Use the File Transfer utility in NetLinx Studio to transfer the JAR file to the Master.

Refer to the NetLinx Studio online help for instructions on transferring files to system

devices.

Modify the Master’s Source Code

To run the AMX TDS Duet Module on the NetLinx Master, the following changes must be

made to the Master’s Source Code file:

DEFINE_START

DEFINE_MODULE 'AMX_DIGITAL_TV_SERVER_dr1_0_0' mdl1(vdvMAIN,vdvMAIN)

....

DEFINE_EVENT

DATA_EVENT[vdvMAIN]

{

ONLINE:

{

SEND_COMMAND vdvMAIN,"'PROPERTY-IP_Address,192.168.60.128'"

// Change to the IP address of the DTV-MA01

SEND_COMMAND vdvMAIN,"'PROPERTY-Port,2008'"

....

Note: Refer to the TDS Module documentation for more detailed instructions on its use.

4) Install System Hardware

1. Install the Transmitters.

2. Install the Receivers.

Refer to the individual product Installation Guides, or the AMX TDS Operation/Reference

Guide for details.

5) Configure the Transmitter(s)

The Tuner in each Transmitter must be configured individually. Configure the Tuner in each

Transmitter via options in the Transmitter Setup pages. The basic steps outlined below

apply to each Transmitter in the system:

1. Open the Digital TV Configuration Manager.

2. Click the Tx Setup command button to open the Transmitter Setup (Network

Settings) page.

• The Transmitters are listed under Manage Unit in the Transmitter Setup - Network

Settings page, each one indicated by it’s MAC address. The MAC address for each

Transmitter is printed on a label located on the bottom panel of the device.

• If you do not see the installed Transmitters indicated in this list, refresh your browser

window.

Note: After booting up a Tx (or Rx), it must first be allocated an IP address (if DHCP

enabled) before appearing in the device list. Depending on the Network, this may

take a couple of minutes.

3. Rename each Transmitter, so that you can identify them easily in the future.

4. Scan for channels on the tuner in each Transmitter:

5. Select the channels that you want to enable.

6. Assign a unique IP (multicast) address to the Tuner:

Note: A IPv4 multicast address should be used, ranging from 224.0.0.0 to

239.255.255.255. Avoid any reserved addresses.

6) Configure the Receiver(s)

The basic steps outlined below apply to each Receiver in the system.

1. Click the Rx Setup command button to open the Receiver Setup (Network Settings)

page.

• The Receivers are listed under Manage Unit in the Receiver Setup - Network

Settings page, each one indicated by it’s MAC address. The MAC address for each

Receiver is printed on a label located on the bottom panel of the device.

• If you do not see the installed Receivers indicated in this list, refresh your browser

window.

Note: After booting up a Rx (or Tx), it must first be allocated an IP address (if DHCP

enabled) before appearing in the device list. Depending on the Network, this may

take a couple of minutes.
