Config port Connect a control PC or other USB device to this port with a mini-type B USB cable (not supplied). Use this
port to send Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands to the SMD 101 for device configuration and control.
SMD 101 Configuration
The SMD 101 can be configured and controlled using a web-browser. To configure the SMD 101 to play a multimedia stream:
Connect the external power supply to a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power source. The SMD 101 powers up and undergoes
1.
a self testing sequence.
Power up all connected devices. The SMD 101 reads the EDID of the connected display device and sets the output
