INSTALLATION
•
PlayNetwork recommends the media player utilize a private IP address and is installed on a non-PCI guest or vendor
network that does not require authentication.
•
If a login is required for the guest network, the media player’s MAC address must be filtered to bypass the login before
plugging the player into the network. The MAC address is located on the player. Player reboot is required after the MAC
has been filtered.
•
Enable Auto-Negotiation and Auto-Duplex on the network port the player is using.
•
Enable PortFast on the port to enable the player to obtain a DHCP address.
•
Disable port security so MAC filtering is not required on the port.
