I am an AV Integrator, is IPTV for me? |
| Answer: |
|
As an AV integrator you are already in-tune with the essence of what IPTV is, the
need for audio and video. The equipment needed to create content is microphones,
mixers, cameras, monitors, etc. The natural "next step" is to provide your customer
with the delivery methods.

| Question: |
|
I tried connecting to an Edje4000 with a serial cable and mediaControl and still
can't reset the IP address. Can I reset it? |
| Answer: |
|
Yes. In this case you will have to do a hard reset, resetting the unit to factory
defaults. This can be done by shorting pins 1 & 4 (Left-right) of the GPIO
connector on the back and power cycling the unit with the pins shorted. The unit
should now be on the factory default IP address 192.168.10.48

| Question: |
|
I seem to be "locked out" of the Edje4000, I don't know the IP address, what can I do? |
| Answer: |
|
If you get stuck like that, use Microsoft Hyperterminal on the Edje COM2 with a connection of 115,200 baud (8, None, 2, None).
You can then use the Adtec API to configure the unit's IP address.

| Question: |
|
Via RS232 can you get lamp fault, filter change, flat panel on off confirmation? |
| Answer: |
|
Adtec has the ability in Media Control to schedule device control, like power on/off. There is ability to program these other monitoring queries. They do not do it straight away in a reporting system. If some project requires that software integration, Adtec would quote it and supply it.
