Picturall Twin - Ref. MST02-R1QUICK START GUIDE

Thank you for choosing Analog Way and the Picturall Twin. By following these simple steps, you will be able to set up and use your Powerful media server within minutes. Discover the Picturall Twin capabilities and intuitive interface while commanding top-notch presentations and unleash your creativity for a new experience in show and event management.

• 1 x Picturall Twin (MST02-R1)• 1 x Power supply cord• 1 x Ethernet cross cable (for device control)• 1 x USB memory stick containing software and technical documentation• 1 x Rackmount kit• 1 x User manual (PDF version)*• 1 x Quick start guide*

* User manual and quick start guide are also available on www.analogway.com

Connecting with the Web ConfiguratorThe Picturall Twin uses standard ethernet LAN networking. To access the Web Configurator, connect a computer to the Picturall Twin using the Ethernet cable. Then on your computer, open an internet browser and enter the IP address of the Picturall Twin (displayed on the front panel screen).

The connection should start.

Often, computers are set to DHCP client (automatic IP detection) mode. You may need to change the IP address configuration on your computer before you can connect. These settings are found in the properties for your LAN network adaptor, and vary by operating system.The default IP address on the Picturall Twin is 192.168.2.140 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Therefore, you can assign your computer a static IP address of 192.168.2.100 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and should be able to connect.

If the connection is not starting:• Be sure the computer IP address is on the same

network and subnet as the Picturall Twin.• Be sure that no two devices have the same IP

address (prevent IP conflicts)• Check your network cable. You will need a

crossover ethernet cable if you are connecting directly from the Picturall Twin to the computer. If a hub or switch is involved, use straight ethernet cables.

• For more information, please see the user manual or contact your local technical support.

Once succesfully connected, the Web Configurator is displayed automatically.

CAUTION!Mounting using only the front rack ears is sufficient for fixed installations. Additional support, such as the rear rack support or slide rails, is required for mobile applications, and recommended for all.
