ICMP configuration via Communicator
About ICMP configuration
Following parameters are available to configure the ICMP:
•
Global settings: allows defining name of the ICMP, host name (network identifier) and IP address which can be used for com-
munication with external content devices.
•
User settings: definition of all users allowed on the ICMP.
•
Server settings: definition of access to servers and storage libraries of content (movies, KDM, etc.).
•
Player settings: Audio delay and audio output frequency.
•
Audio channel: allows defining the mapping of audio channels (content) on each audio output (AES outputs of the ICMP).
•
Scheduler setting: Enable/Disable scheduler at startup, delays allowed in scheduler mode and length of schedule history.
•
Devices: allows defining communication ports settings, to access external devices controlled by the automation.
•
Automation Cues: event cues that are triggered from different sources and to which can be assigned actions to be executed
by the automation engine.
•
Verify internal clock of the ICMP.
All installation and maintenance operations on the ICMP are performed via Communicator, the Barco config-
uration software. Please refer to the Communicator user guide for further information.
About Default settings
The restore of factory setting is a feature that allows removing all settings performed on the ICMP and replaces them with the default
values set at the factory. Please refer to the Communicator user guide for further information.
About the ICMP internal clock
The crystal on the ICMP board that manages the clock shows a certain drift (all crystals do). With the Communicator the internal
clock can be adjusted. This maintenance action should be repeated every 3 months. When neglected the system will locks up.
From ICMP software version 1.2.1 onwards it is possible to enable NTP (Network Time Protocol). You have to configure (at instal-
lation) an IP address where the ICMP can find a sync signal. From then on, and as long as the connection is active, the ICMP will
automatically keep its clock correct. For detailed instructions see user guide of the Communicator.
