Device start-up step
Testcard
At the factory, the device content set by default is the Test Card . The chart displays important information to assist in configuration:
Disable the Test Card by using the WebUI.
Step 1 (T0=0s)
Device start-up initialisation
Step 2 (T~24s)
Device start-up finalisation
This phase duration is depending on some variable values
(like NTP), some network access duration or some data
checking (check-disk)
Step 3 (T~45s)
Nominal mode
During this step, the device has to play the content.
When firmware upgrade process occured, in
case DNS valid & NTP server inactive, it takes ~8
min 30 s.
