HMP Wizard

This page is related to the HMP Wizard interface present on HMP200, HMP130, and HMP100. For HMP350 and HMP300, see Configuration Wizard page.

Introduction

The HMP Wizard is designed to guide the user through the initial steps of configuring the HMP200, HMP130, and HMP100 devices.

It is available starting with the 3.0 firmware and starts automatically for any HMP device that has not been configured, has been reset to factory default settings or its firmware has been reinstalled from the Recovery Console.

Once the HMP address is entered within a browser, as suggested in Get Connected or On-screen wizard, the HMP configuration wizard is loaded. This wizard is available only in English and its purpose is to guide you through a basic configuration of the HMP.

Steps

The HMP configuration wizard contains the following steps:

1. Device Status
   

   Device Status

   The HMP first checks the Internet access and, if successful, then checks the firmware version (the address used by default is the one of the SpinetiX server). If the firmware is not up to date, you can press the "Update Now" button.

   Press "Next" to advance to the next page.
   

2. Operation Mode
   

   Operation Mode

   

   Advanced

   Select the HMP operation mode between:

   • "Fusion" - to manage the content using the built-in Fusion interface;
   • "Elementi" - to manage the content using Elementi;
   • "Advanced" - from here you can either
     • apply a configuration backup file or
     • access the HMP Control Center interface for advanced configuration.

   Press "Next" to advance to the next page.

   Device ID

   Set the identification elements for the player:

     Enter the device name used within Elementi Devices listing; the name, which by default is set to the player serial number, can only contain ASCII letters, digits and hyphens.

   • Multiscreen ID.

     Enter the device multiscreen ID. This is useful when the HMP is part of a video wall displaying a multiscreen project.

   Press "Next" to advance to the next page.
