Informacast Configuration File Retrieval; Identification And Testing - CyberData 011403 Quick Start Manual

4.0 InformaCast Configuration File Retrieval

4.1. DHCP should be enabled. After the device initializes, it will send a
broadcast to the DHCP server to ask for the location of its
InformaCastSpeaker.cfg configuration file.
4.2. SLP or TFTP?
• SLP should be enabled on InformaCast version 5.0.4 or higher. SLP is an
InformaCast protocol introduced in InformaCast version 5.0.4. The device
will retrieve its configuration file from an InformaCast server folder
specified by SLP. SLP method is preferred.
• TFTP servers may be used instead of SLP. In this alternate scenario,
DHCP option 150 is required to provide the device with the address of the
TFTP server. Otherwise, the device will be unable to retrieve its
configuration file.
Note The device and InformaCast server should be on the same subnet
during the device's initial configuration if it cannot access the
VLANs upon which the InformaCast Server and DHCP servers are
located.

5.0 Identification and Testing

5.1. Ensure the InformaCast Server has detected a new device.
5.2. Test the newly detected device.
5.3. Add the newly detected device to the InformaCast Server.
