MAX Servers - Setup and Configuration
26
MAX Servers: HT Home Theater and MMS Multimedia Servers
You can also use WinMAX to establish a Telnet connection with the MAX to access the MAX Admin
Menu: in the WinMAX System Information tab, click on Server Configuration. You will be prompted for
a User Name and Password. These are case sensitive, and by default:
User Name =
root
Password =
mozart
Loading Media Content on the MAX Server
There are two ways to load media content (DVDs and CDs) onto MAX Servers:
Use the WinMAX software application to add/remove content on the MAX server. Refer to
the
WinMAX Instruction Manual
for details.
Use the MDL200 MultiDisc Loader System to bulk-load up to 200 discs at a time to the MAX
server. Refer to the
MDL200 MultiDisc Loader System Instruction Manual
for details.
DVD and CD Playback
Once you have established communication with the MAX server via WinMAX, you can use WinMAX
to initiate and control playback of movies or music.
Playing a DVD
In WinMAX, open the
Movies
tab. Then, select a DVD title (MAX servers ship with one DVD loaded
and ready for playback), and click the
Play
button.
Playing a CD
Open the
Music
tab. Then, select a CD title (MAX servers ship with one CD loaded and ready for
playback), and click the
Play
button.
Periodic Updates
The MAX server can receive periodic updates for its system software and internal information database.
In order to receive updates, the PC running WinMAX and the server must be on the same network, and
the server must be able to access the internet.
Use the options on the IP settings page of the MAX Admin Menu to configure the IP settings of the
server for compatibility with your network. Refer to the
IP Settings
section on page 30 for details.
Shutting Down the MAX Server
The correct way to shut down the MAX server is via the
Shutdown
command in the
MAX Admin Menu
.
This allows the operating system to shut down cleanly and completely before power is removed from the
system.
Always
shut down the server this way to avoid the reinitialization process that results from an improper
shut down. The reinitialization process can be time-consuming, and cannot be cancelled.
Refer to the
Shutdown
section on page 44 for details.
If you have connected directly to the MAX (as described in Step 1), you will not be
prompted for a User Name or Password.
MAX systems (firmware version x.xx or higher) rely on an online media database for
disc recognition. In order to identify discs (CDs and/or DVDs) as they are added to
the MAX Server, the MAX Server must have permanent access to the internet. See
the Online Database
section on page 20
.
Without access to the internet, all media information must be entered manually.
