Chapter 6: Configuring the Presentation Player with the 

Web-Based Utility

The Presentation Player has been designed to function with the default settings in the Setup Utility. However, if 
you’d like to change these settings, the Presentation Player can be configured through your web browser with the 
Web-Based Utility. This chapter explains how to configure the Presentation Player. The Utility contains these four 
tabs: Setup, administration, Status, and Help.

To access the Web-based Utility, you will need the Presentation Player’s IP Address. To find the Player’s IP 
Address, make sure that the Presentation Player is connected to the projector or monitor and that both devices 
are powered on. Open your web browser and enter the Player’s IP Address in the Address field. The default IP 
Address is 192.168.1.200. Press the Enter key.

A password request screen, shown in Figure 6-1, will appear. The first time you open the Web-Based Utility, enter 
the default password admin into the Password field. Click the OK button.  You can later set a new password 
using the Administration tab, as shown in Figure 6-4. 

The Setup tab, as shown in Figure 6-2, has your available basic setup functions. Most users can use the default 
settings, but you can change them here if you want. Your network and wireless security functions are located 
here.

upgrades, when available, may be downloaded from the Linksys web site at no charge.  If you are not

review the release notes of any firmware version before attempting an upgrade.
