Destiny Networks Domain 3000 Manuel utilisateur
Getting Started: One Room Theater
Connect Your PC to the Domain 3000
PC Requirements
Your PC must be running Microsoft XP.
One of the most import things is to update the Microsoft Windows operating system with all critical updates.
1. Open Internet Explorer (the web browser).
2. Select "Tools / Windows update". This will take you to a Microsoft web page.
3. Click "Scan for Updates".
4. Install all "Critical Updates".
5. Repeat the process (it may take a few times to install all critical updates) .
6. You may also want to install "Windows Media Player 9" for viewing help videos.
Install the Ubiquity Software
Remove the CD from the box and insert it into your PC.
When the start up screen pops up, click the "Step-by-Step Guide"
button to see these instructions on your PC.
Before installing the software, you may want to turn off virus protection
as it will significantly increase the amount of time it takes to install the
software.
The next step will be to click the "Install Ubiquity" button on the start
up screen to install the software on your PC. You will probably want to
select all of the defaults by clicking "Next" at each screen.
While it is installing, you may want to see the rest of the contents of
the CD by clicking the "Browse the CD" button.
After you have installed the software, close the start up pop up menu
by clicking the "Exit" button.
Please go on to the next step while the software is still installing..
Find a Location for the Domain 3000
Remove the Domain 3000, antenna, and Powered RF Antenna from
the box.
Install the Domain 3000 at or near its final location such that the IR
emitters can reach all of your AV components. An Internet connection
is useful, but not necessary. You should be able to easily see the
Domain 3000 while working from your PC.
Attach IR Emitters to your AV Components
To find out where the IR receiver is located on the AV component, use
a sheet of cardboard with a small hole in the middle of it. Place the
cardboard against the front of the AV component and move the hole
around the front while sending IR commands to the AV component via
the remote control that came with it. There should only be a small area
where the IR commands can be received. That area is the IR receiver.
Paste the IR emitter on top of it.
If you have a back projection TV and the IR receiver is behind the
screen (i.e., there is not a separate IR pick up any where on the TV),
then your choices for controlling it are: use RS-232, open the unit and
attach the emitter directly to the receiver (often easier than it sounds),
use a high power blaster.
Install the New Powered RF Antenna
The "Powered RF Antenna" plugs into port #2 of the "Digital Inputs"
(see below). The antenna can be extended with a simple 3-wire stereo
jack extension cable.
Connect Your PC to the Domain 3000
There are two ways to connect your PC to the Domain 3000:
•Connect your PC directly to the Domain 3000 with an Ethernet crossover cable
•Connect your PC and the Domain 3000 to the Local Area Network (LAN)
Note, if you are very comfortable with IP networking, you can connect both your PC and the Domain 3000 to your network and
skip the next set of steps.
Connect your PC directly to the Domain 3000 with an Ethernet
crossover cable
Remove the Ethernet crossover cable (the yellow one with red tape
near the connectors) from the box. Note that this is not a regular
Ethernet cable and should not be used for any purpose other than
connecting your PC directly to the Domain 3000.
Connect your PC directly to the Domain 3000 via the Ethernet
crossover cable.
Connect the power supply to the Domain 3000.
Give the Domain 3000 5 minutes to boot up while you do the next set
of steps.
Within 1 minute, the Ethernet port should be up and running. The
upper left LED must be orange - indicating that the Domain Controller
is communicating at 100 Mbps. If it is not orange, the Domain
Controller is either not communicating or is communicating at 10
Mbps. Neither will work.
Give Your PC an Alternate IP address of 172.16.16.117
Configure your PC with an "Alternate IP address" of 172.16.16.117 so
that your PC comes up on the same network as the default address of
the Domain 3000.
Do this by going to your desktop and right clicking on "My Network
Places" and selecting "Properties".
The "Network Connections" menu will pop up.
In the "Network Connections" menu make sure your wireless network
is disabled (right click it and select Disable, if necessary).
Then, in the same "Network Connections" menu, right click on the
Ethernet port that is plugged into the Domain 3000 and select
Properties.
The "Local Area Connection Properties" menu will pop up.
On the "Local Area Connection Properties" menu, select "Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click the "Properties" button.
General Configuration tab
On the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" menu, typically, it will try to
"Obtain an IP address automatically" and look like the menu at the
right. If this is the case you can proceed to the next step below.
If, however, "Use the following IP address" is selected (as shown at
the right) and if the "IP address" is not in the 172.16.x.x network, then
jot down all the information on this page and change the information
as follows:
IP address: 172.16.16.117
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: 172.16.0.1
the rest will not matter.
If your PC was on the 192.168.x.x network or the 10..x.x.x or any
other network than the 172.16.x.x network, then it is likely that you will
want to change the IP address of the Domain 3000. You can do this
now and then return to this spot, and change your setting back to the
way there were.
Click OK to this menu and the other menus and go on to opening
"Find My Destiny".
Alternate Configuration tab
On the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" menu, select the "Alternate
Configuration" tab.
Click "User configured"
Enter:
IP address: 172.16.16.117
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: 172.16.0.1
as shown at the right.
Click OK to this menu.
Adjust Norton Internet Security
If you have Norton "Internet Security" on your PC, please enable the Ubiquity application by doing the following:
•Right click the Norton Internet Security icon (located in your system tray at the bottom right or your screen).
•Select "Open Norton Internet Security".
•Choose Personal Firewall.
•Click the "Configure" button.
•Select the "Program" tab.
•Scroll through the list of applications to find "LaunchAnywhere GUI".
•Click on the "Block All" to the right of that application and change it to "Permit All"
•Click OK and exit Norton Internet Security.
