First Time Use

Connect the power cable to the ADMS-BR and verify that power to the unit is on (press the switch on the rear of the unit and/or the power button on the front as necessary). The unit then goes through an internal startup procedure that takes about one minute.When you first power on the ADMS-BR you must accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) which is displayed on the On-Screen-Display (OSD) which is connected to the ADMS-BR. The front panel display will alert you to “Please See On Screen Display”. You may click on the Agree button (or press Alt-A).The system can be turned on and off with the front panel power button. Turn the system off by pressing the power button briefly. It may take some time to shut down. Pressing and holding the power button for five seconds performs a hard shutdown. This should only be done if the system has been unresponsive for 30 minutes.

B. NavigationThe ADMS-BR interface is made to be used with a D-Pad (Up/Down/Left/Right/Enter) set of buttons. Press F11 to move back a page in the menu system; press F12 to return to the main menu.The mouse is used only in the setup screens. The rest of the interface is meant to be used with a keyboard or remote control. In the Internet browser and Internet TV functions, the D-Pad buttons simulate a mouse moving around.

A. Apply Power

NOTE: Connect either HDMI OR VGA output but not both. Connecting both outputs will result in poor video playback issues due to HDCP errors.

Time ZoneIt is important to set the ADMS-BR to the proper time zone from the Date Time button on the SETUP MENU. There is maintenance that runs at 4AM local time. The ADMS-BR does not synchronize its clock with the control system - instead one or more time servers can be used. Note that time.windows.com is unreliable.

Screensaver The ADMS-BR includes a photo screensaver. By default, photos in the ADMS-BR photo share are used. New photos can be copied by connecting to the ADMS-BR photo share (username: user, password: useradmin).

VNCA VNC server is installed on the ADMS-BR. This will allow you to access the ADMS-BR remotely. The following actions are recommended:1. Allow access to port 5900 on the ADMS-BR. You may want to choose a different external port to

move from the well-known port. Optionally you can change the local port from the advanced menu but this is usually not needed.

2. Optionally change the VNC password from the default "dealeradmin."3. Optionally allow access to port 41795 for console access.

Importing MediaIf the user has media on an existing network server the content can be imported by using the Library/Library Folders function. Add each folder that you would like the ADMS-BR to monitor for content. You have an option to copy files to the ADMS-BR itself or to simply reference the content in place.

You also have the option of designating another location to look for photos.
