Quick Start Guide

StreamPlayer

Verify Operation

Once installed, you can use the StreamPlayer Plus

application to view content being streamed from the

VBrick appliance.

1. Launch the StreamPlayer Plus application. Go to

Start > Programs > VBrick > StreamPlayer Plus.

2. The VBrick appliance automatically broadcasts pro-

gram information (reference A) to the StreamPlayer

application running on your PC.

3. You should see a stream appear in the Program Info

column (reference B) of the StreamPlayer application.

The default host name of the VBrick is the unit’s MAC

address.

4. Double-click on VBrick's MAC address (or host name)

to launch the stream in Windows Media Player (refer-

ence C) and displays the selected video stream on

your PC.

5. You are now successfully streaming video to your PC.

Set the IP Address

When you power on the appliance, if a DHCP server is present on

your network, the VBrick will automatically get its IP Address and

Subnet Mask from the DHCP server. If this happens, no additional

configuration is required; go to Step 5 and install StreamPlayer Plus. If

the VBrick cannot get an IP address from the DHCP server (or a server

is not present), you will need to set the IP address manually using

the handheld IR Remote Control. Similarly, if your network requires a

Gateway IP Address, and this is not provided by the DHCP server,

you will also need to enter this manually.

1. Aim the remote control at the IR Port (reference 4A) on the front

panel and press Local Edit (reference 4B). The display (reference

4C) on the front of the VBrick will request a password.

2. Press 23646 (“admin”, numerically) and press Select (reference 4D)

on the remote control.

3. If the network is DHCP capable and you want the network to select

an IP address press Y and then press Select. The VBrick will reboot

and obtain an IP address. Otherwise, press Select to continue.

4. Enter desired IP address. Use the

button for the decimal point and

the left/right buttons to erase characters entered by mistake.

5. When done press Select. If the remaining settings do not need to

be modified, press Select again.

6. If the IP, subnet mask or gateway addresses have been modified

and there are no errors, the VBrick will reboot.

7. Log back in to the VBrick using the Remote Control.

8. Set the Slot1 destination IP Address to a valid multicast address.

Note: The standard multicast address range is 224.0.0.0 to

239.255.255.255. VBrick recommends using 225.1.1.1 as a starting

multicast address.

Install StreamPlayer Plus

StreamPlayer Plus 4.3 or higher lets you receive

streaming video, originating from the VBrick, on

a local PC.

1. If you did not order StreamPlayer you can

purchase and download a full copy or you

can download and install an evaluation copy.

2. To download StreamPlayer go to www.

vbrick.com/products/streamplayer.asp and

follow the instructions.

3. After you download StreamPlayer, follow the

instructions and install the application as

directed.

Connect to the IP Network

An Ethernet cable connects the VBrick to the

network.

1. Plug one end of the cable into the Ethernet

port on the VBrick appliance.

2. Plug the other end of the cable into the net-

work switch.

3. When power is applied, the green LEDs to

the right of the Ethernet port will illuminate

and the Activity light will flicker.
