ONFIGURING FOR A
Often, the Firefly MZ TCP/IP defaults must
change to accommodate the network where it will
reside. The best method is to attach a computer to
the media player.
Attaching a Laptop or PC
Ethernet
•
Connect the computer directly to the Firefly
using an Ethernet crossover cable.
or
•
Connect using standard Ethernet cables and a
hub or switch.
Serial
Use a null modem cable when connecting to the
Firefly via the serial port.
Changing TCP/IP Settings
There are two methods for initially changing the
Firefly MZ TCP/IP settings: WebView and serial
commands.
WebView via Ethernet Port
WebView is a browser-based, administration tool-
kit that resides on the Firefly.
1. Set your PC's IP address to a number in the
same range as the Firefly, such as 10.0.1.2.
2. Open a browser and enter the default IP
address 10.0.1.1 in the address field.
3. Access WebView using the default Firefly
login and password, shown above.
4. Set the IP address and other TCP/IP param-
eters as required.
5. Click on Update Settings to save.
6. Click on Player Control.
7. Click on Restart Player.
This initializes the new settings.

ETWORK
Contact the Network Administrator for the correct net-
work configuration information.
Before beginning, verify that the computer and/or the
Firefly MZ are powered off. When connections are
completed, power on the devices.
Ethernet via Cross-over Cable.
Null modern cable:
(Female DB-9 to Female DB-9, RS232 cable)
Firefly MZ default TCP/IP settings:
Static IP Address: 10.0.1.1
Login (case sensitive): firefly
Password: 123456
Warning Incorrect network settings in WebView will
result in loss of contact with WebView. To correct, it is
necessary to connect to the Firefly MZ via a serial
cable to access WebView and change the network
settings.
Restarting the Firefly MZ is only necessary when
updating the network settings in a DHCP environ-
ment, i.e. going from Static to DHCP mode, changing
the Host Name, etc.,
Ethernet via Hub or Switch.
