    Copying Config Files Using Internet Explorer Internet Explorer does not automatically save the SMD 101 config files to the host computer (see Configuration panel on page 37), but attempts to open them instead. The box.cfg and ip.cfg files must be saved using a text file copy. To save a configuration file using IE: Open the web-interface for the SMD 101 (see Accessing the Web-based User...

    Glossary Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) — A standardized compression and encoding scheme for lossy (low quality) digital audio. Higher bit rates provide higher quality. Part of the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 specifications. The SMD 101 supports AAC-LC (MPEG-2 part 7, MPEG-4 part 3, sub-part 4 and part 14, MP4 audio). Advanced Video Coding (AVC) —...
  • Page 101 Elementary Stream — Raw H.264 video or raw AAC audio, not wrapped by additional headers. Encoder — A hardware device or software program used to compress (encode) or change a signal from one format to another or convert an analog signal into a digital data stream. The SME 100 is an encoder that converts analog audio and video into digital streams.
  • Page 102 Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) — A TCP/IP communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on a network to establish multicast group memberships. When the SMD 101 is connected to a streaming media server, the IGMP multicast protocol is used to pull RTSP streams. The IGMP multicast protocol conserves network bandwidth because the streaming media server only connects to the SMD 101 when the connection to the streaming media server is made by the user.
  • Page 103 Network Address Translation (NAT) — A network protocol that allows multiple devices to have their own, individual, private addresses, but they share one public IP address (IPv4) for connection to the internet or other networks. Network Time Protocol (NTP) — A protocol used for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over networks.
  • Page 104 Static IP address — An IP address specifically (instead of dynamically [see "DHCP"]) assigned to a device or system in a network configuration. This type of address requires manual configuration of the network device or system and can only be changed manually or by enabling DHCP.
