Introduction
Introduction
There are several ways to interact with a Delta Media Server, or a network of servers.
·
As a Windows device, some operations will be via the desktop, and of course the box switches,
buttons and ports.
·
As a Delta server, some control is available via the front panel
·
This is replicated in an interactive web page in the Stack web interface.
·
DeltaMonitor is a utility that manages the front panel of the server it is on, including network
connections and graphic settings. This also has a link to the Stack web interface, which offers more
control than the DeltaMonitor application.
The Stack web interface gives much more, including an overview of all Delta Servers on a network, and a
facility to backup and restore any server. From here, the activity of any server can be seen and managed
remotely. The following parts of this Guide will help you in each approach:

Shutting down a Delta Server
As an example of this flexibility, we are sometimes asked: what is the best way of properly shutting
down a Delta server?
Delta Media Server runs on Microsoft Windows. As such, it requires that the server is properly shut
down to prevent the operating system image and hardware from becoming corrupt. This can be done in
one of several ways:
·
Initiate a standard Windows shut-down from the Start Menu
·
Press (do not hold) the power button on the front of the server once
·
Call the shutdown_pc command within Delta Media Server via an internal sequence or external
control (see DeltaGUI sequence editor or external control help documentation) [available for Delta
Media Server v2.0.5 beta or 2.1.x release or later]
·
Initiate a shut-down from the Stack web interface (available at http://[serverIP]/ws, with default
user name = admin; password = admin). Click on the Control option on the left side menu and select
Shutdown Server.

Delta Server Front Panel
Delta Server Front Panel
The Delta Front Panel is controlled by the DeltaMonitor application. On Delta 1.5 servers the
functionality is limited. Delta 2 adds a significant amount of additional functionality. Delta 2.4 sees
more software changes to allow for NICs to be modified in all servers (including Nano) without having
to enter Service Mode, and with further options for NIC modification throughout.
Terminology
Embedded Server – This refers to the Operating system on the server. The embedded servers include:
Nano, Nano4K and Duo II pre-2016, and Nano1, Nano2, Nano3, Nano4K in the 2016 server range. (For
further information see the Service Mode Section.)
