Initial configuration of your Encoded Media IPTV 250m set-top box

The process for setting up and configuring your set-top box has been designed to be as straightforward as possible. It is detailed below.

You will need:

A wired network connection and Ethernet cable to connect the set-top box to your network.
A display screen with an HDMI socket and an HDMI cable to connect it to the output of the set-top box.
Two power outlets both for the set-top box and for the display screen.
The IP address or hostname of your primary TV Server or HD Encoder head-end appliance. This appliance will be connected to a terrestrial aerial, a satellite dish or to an HDMI source, or combination of all three.
The IP address your set-top box will use. Typically, this address will be provided automatically by a DHCP server but may instead be determined manually by your IT department or administrator.

1: Press the cog ⚙️ icon on your IR remote control and enter the PIN code on the Settings screen.
2: On the General tab, provide the IP address for your TV Server or HD Encoder head-end appliance. Tip: You can also connect a keyboard and type a hostname.
3: Press the Green button on the IR remote control to select the Advanced tab and select the video output suitable for the connected display.
4: Press the Yellow button on the IR remote to select the Other tab and provide a location name for the box. This information is helpful when you have multiple boxes reporting information into a desktop tool such as IPTV Manager.
5: Select the Save button in the lower left and press OK on the remote to store the changes you have made and reboot the set-top box.
