Device Default Settings

Initially set to UTC. To modify, select the desired time zone and corresponding city.

Note

The times are based on hours added to or subtracted from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

This is blank the first time you open the (HMP) Devices screen after an upgrade. After setting the default, it is applied to newly registered STBs.

To modify, enter the FQDN or IP address of the NTP (Network Time Protocol) Server for the device. Setting this allows the unit to keep the date and time in sync with an NTP server.

Note

Haivision Play 1000 STBs do not support FQDNs for the NTP server. Use an IP address only.

Tip

Generally, it is recommended to use the same NTP server as HMP.

Select the default content type for the device, either channel, videos, sessions, or layouts. Then select the channel, video, session, or layout title from the drop-down list.

Note

Layouts are not available as default content for Haivision Play 1000 STBs.

(Play 1000 STB only) To set the Admin PIN code, type in a 4-8 digit PIN. When an Admin PIN is set, this locks down Settings screen, and users must enter this PIN to access the STB Settings application.

After you save the Default Settings, this becomes the default Admin PIN for any STBs registered in this HMP domain.

Tip

If you are not using an Admin PIN, clear the input field (leave it empty) and click Save.

When using self-signed certificates in your workflow, it is necessary to load the certificates onto each connected set-top box before viewing HMP video streams, downloading latest STB firmware, etc. For new STB installs, this must be completed manually using a USB drive or microSD card. See Connecting the Set-Top Box to your HMP Server for details.

However, when updating self-signed certificates on existing operational STBs, use these file input fields to apply a new root certificate and intermediate certificate (if applicable).

Note

After updating certificates, an STB reboot is necessary. Issue a reboot command from HMP as described in Controlling Devices.
