4.2.5 Connect the SF-200 to the Mounting Pate using the hardware that came with the Mounting Plate. Be careful not to over tighten. Qty = 4 Thread Forming Screws Qty = 4 Washers Note1 : The SF-200 Case is held together with four small screws. DO NOT remove these small screws. Note 2: The Thread Forming Screws that are used to mount the SF-200 to the Mounting Plate will screw into the same hole as the small screws but will not go deep enough to touch the small screws.
4.3 Once the SF-200 is mounted to the Mounting Plate, the assembly can then be mounted to the Monitor. 4.3.1 The back of Monitors typically have a VESA mounting hole pattern. The SF-200 Mounting Plate is designed to mount to these. 4.3.2 The most common VESA mounting hole patterns found on monitors is 100mmx100mm or 75mmx75mm. The SF-200 Mounting Plate has hole spacing to attach to either of these using two screws(not included).
4.3.3 Mount the assembly to the Monitor using the appropriate hole spacing with two screws. 4.3.3 For monitors that have other VESA mounting hole patterns the SF-200 can also be mounted with one screw using the center mounting hole on the Mounting Plate. 4.4 Now that the SF-200 is mounted on the Monitor it is ready to be connected. 4.4.1 Connect the SF-200 to the monitor using a HDMI cable.
4.4.2 Power connections. Connect the SF-200 Power Adapter cable from the Surge Suppressor to the DC 12V input on the SF-200. The Monitor should also be plugged into the Surge Suppressor. Contact Noventri for all your accessory needs. 1-301-790-0103 www.noventri.com 4.4.3 If you plan on using your SF-200 as a networked player, connect it’s LAN to your Local Network using an Ethernet cable. Contact Noventri for all your accessory needs. 1-301-790-0103 www.noventri.
4.4.6 If you plan on using RS232 commands from the SF-200 to controll an external device such as a Commercial Grade Monitor or TV One scaler (www.tvone.com), connect the SF-200’s remaining USB Port to the device’s RS232 input using Noventri approved cable (USB to RS232) and null modem adapter (if needed). Note: Do Not Remove the USB Drive Contact Noventri for all your accessory needs. 1-301-790-0103 www.noventri.com For instructions how to use the SF-200 for RS232 controll...
4.5 You can now power up and use the SF-200. 4.5.1 Verify that the SF-200 is powered on. (front LED will be green) No LED or red LED indicate insufficient power. 4.5.2 Verify that the monitor has power and turned on. 4.5.3 Wait for the Grey Scale image to be displayed. The image will also show what IP address the SF-200 is connected to, and what resolution it is set to. 5. Network Connection 5.1 Network that is setup for DHCP (to automatically assign IP Addresses). 5.1.
5.1.2 So if the SF-200 has it’s DHCP mode enabled and an IP address other than 192.168.0.190 is displayed, you know you are connected to the Network. - If the IP Address displayed on the Grey Scale image is 192.168.0.190, this means the SF-200 is not getting a DHCP IP Address from your network. - 192.168.0.190 is the default IP address that is assigned to the SF-200 if there is no Network connection, or if the Network is not configured to assign DHCP IP Addresses. - If the IP Address is 192.168.0.
5.3 If your SF200’s already has a Static IP Address assigned to it, it will only connect to you Network if the Static IP Address is compatible with your Network. 5.3.1 There is the possibility that the SF-200 you are trying to connect to your Network was assigned a Static IP Address that is out of your subnet range. If this is the case you can change the it’s IP Address several ways... - The optional Remote Control can be used.
6. Web App Configuration Note1: If the Noventri Server version is older than the SF-200 firmware version, the SF-200 will not connect to the Server. Download the latest Noventri Suite software from the Noventri Forum. http://www.noventri.com/forum Note2: If the Noventri Server version is newer than the SF-200 firmware version, the SF-200 firmware will automatically update as soon as it connects. 6.
6.5 If you have changed the SF-200 password and cannot remember it, you can reset the Password back to the default, “noventri” by using the optional Remote Control. (See the Remote Control section of this manual) 6.6 Once you are logged on to the SF-200 you will see the following Configuration screen showing the current configuration.
6.6.1 DHCP – When the DHCP checkbox is selected, the SF-200 will obtain an IP address automatically from the Network (the Network must be set up for DHCP). When the DHCP checkbox is unchecked the SF-200 will not accept an automatically assigned IP address form the network. Note: Your Network must have a DHCP server for this to work. If the SF-200 does not receive a DHCP assigned IP Address, it will go to its default 192.168.0.190 IP Address.
6.6.7 NOVENTRI SERVER – This points the SF-200 to the Noventri Server that you want it to connect to. • The SF-200 can point to a Noventri Server on your Local Network, a Noventri Server at another location through the internet. • To point to a Noventri Server on you Local Network, enter the IP Address (or the hostname) and Port of the computer where the Noventri Server software is installed. The IP Address and Port should be separated by a colon. The Default Port is 20940. Example: 192.168.0.
6.6.8 MAC ADDRESS – The MAC Address is shown for reference only and cannot be changed. The MAC Address is a unique address assigned at the factory. 6.6.9 SERIAL NUMBER – The serial number is shown for reference only and cannot be changed. 6.6.10 NEW PASSWORD – If you would like to change the default password of the SF-200 from “noventri” to something new. Enter your new password here.
6.6.15 REBOOT – To reboot the SF-200, click the REBOOT button. 6.7 Once the SF-200 is NOVENTRI SERVER is Configured correctly you will be able to access it through Noventri Server/Suite software and Publish to it.
