Description

Control Center home page

The Control Center home page displays general information about the device: player status summary, current settings, the content snapshot, plus some quick links to maintenance tasks. A left side menu provides links to all the other pages in Control Center.

Player status

This section contains the player logo, its date/time information, plus six information boxes (clicking on any of them, brings out more information and / or links to configuration pages), as following:

• Up time

  Current running time of the player.

• CPU Load

  Current CPU usage of the player; clicking on the box gives extended info about CPU distribution and frame drops.

• Storage

  Current use of the player internal storage.

• Display

  Current display status.

• Network

  Status of the network connection. An exclamation mark may be shown in case of network issues. Clicking on the box gives extra network information such as IP addresses, hostname address, and MAC address.

• Firmware

  Current player firmware. An exclamation mark may be shown in case the firmware needs to be updated. Clicking on the box gives extra information about the firmware update.

Current Settings

This section gives a brief summary of the important settings of the player:

• License type (if any)
• Serial number of the player
• Name
• Time zone
• Display settings

Plus two buttons:

• Enable/Disable ARYA

  Toggles the ARYA mode on the player.

  This button is not present by default on HMP350 and HMP300, but with firmware 4.6.3 (up to 4.6.5), you can apply a special configuration file to enable it.

  Starting with firmware 4.7.1, HMP350 and HMP300 players have ARYA enabled by default and maintain a connection to the SpinetiX cloud even when ARYA is not enabled, as it was already the case for DiVA players. Thus, the ARYA configuration file for HMP300/HMP350 is no longer present on the PLAYER page in ARYA.

• Configuration Wizard

  Starts the Configuration Wizard, allowing to redo the initial steps of configuring the player.

  The Configuration Wizard is automatically started the first time Control Center is accessed; during the initial setup, an additional step is required to configure the admin password of the device.

Quick Links

This section allows the user to do the following maintenance operations:

• Restore Config

  This allows restoring a configuration backup (for instance, when a reset to factory default settings was performed on the device) or applying a custom configuration file.

• Configure Cockpit / Open in Cockpit

  The former is displayed when the device is not yet monitored by Cockpit - pressing the button opens the System > Cockpit page, from where you can add the device in Cockpit.

  The latter is displayed when the device is already monitored by Cockpit - pressing the button opens the player monitoring page of Cockpit for that device (login required).

• Generate Report

  Generate a standard player report.

  This is usually required by SpinetiX Support for troubleshooting whenever the device is not functioning properly.

• Restart Now

  Restart the device in case of configuration changes, or any other maintenance operation.
