the SD card that stores the slideshow files, and the USB port is for connection to the USB
storage device, which is used for firmware upgrade or files transfer to the SD card.
SQP110 series support content management system CMS Lite for remote slideshows and
firmware upgrade. An additional USB to RJ-45 cable is required to allow the SQP 110 series
connect to the network.

7.5 Getting Started
After logging into the Web interface, you will need to first add the device to establish
connection. Next, you will need to prepare a content package, transfer the package to the
designated storage path, and then upload the package to the device.
7.5.1 Preparing the Package
There are three types of content package you can upload to the device: loop video, scenario
and schedule. For explanation on the concept of Schedule, Loop Video and Scenario
packages, see Appendix. Definitions of Folder Names. To prepare a scenario or a schedule,
download the tools from CMS Server to create the content package. Refer to the section
below to see how to prepare each type of package.
• Loop Video: Simply select one or multiple images or video files to be used in the loop
video.
• Scenario: In the Server Setting section, select Package Management, click the
Download Tools button and select Download Content Design Tool for PN300 / SQP133
or Download Clip Design Tool for SQP110. To create a scenario, see Content Designer
in PN300 User’s Manual or see Clip Design in SQP110 Series User’s Manual.
• Schedule: In the Server Setting section, select Package Management, click the
Download Tools button and select Download Schedule Tool. To create a schedule, see
Content Schedule in PN300 User’s Manual or SQP110 Series User’s Manual.
Figure 7-8

Chapter 8 Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) provides a convenient way of accessing the CMS Lite
when using a dynamic IP address. Dynamic DNS can direct the changing IP address of the
CMS Lite to a same domain name, so that you don’t need to go through the trouble of
checking if the IP address assigned by the DHCP server or ISP has changed.
8.1 Installing the Dynamic DNS
Install the Dynamic DNS to the computer installed with the CMS Lite:
1. Insert the Software CD to your computer. It runs automatically and a window pops up.
2. Select Install Content Management System and then select Install Dynamic DNS
Service (Only for CMS Lite), and follow the on-screen instructions.

Re-type the password for confirmation.
5. In the Word Verification section, type the code within the box. In this example, the code
you should enter is SiBiX6. Word verification is not case-sensitive.
6. Click the Send button. The following message appears.
Figure 8-4
Username: The username you registered. In this example the username is “msd”.
Hostname: The hostname you created. Hostname is made by registered username
and “dipmap.com”. In this example the host name is “http://msd.dipmap.com”. This
will be the domain name you use to log into the device.
IP Address: Your current IP address. This IP address is updated every 10 minutes.
Page 98

8.3 Starting Dynamic DNS
After registering a domain name with DDNS service, you can now enable the DDNS function.
Figure 8-5
1. Run the DNS Client.
2. Type the Username and Password used to enable the service from the Dynamic DNS
server.
3. If you router has more than one IP address:
Obtain an IP address automatically: The Dynamic DNS server will use any
available IP address from the router.
Use the following IP address: If your router has more than one IP address, you
can assign an IP address for the communication between the Dynamic DNS server
and the CMS Lite. It is highly suggested to assign a fixed IP address. If the
assigned IP address is dynamic, the Dynamic DNS server will not be able to access
the CMS Lite when the IP address is changed.
4. Select Run at startup to automatically run the DDNS service at Windows startup.
5. After above settings, click Save. The connection information will be displayed.
