Remote Set Up using an existing DHCP Network

The TLM-170P can be remotely set up using a computer web browser and the existing DHCP LAN. In this way a gallery of TLM-170P monitors can be set up from one computer if enough network connections exist.

1.  Use a normal Ethernet RJ-45 patch cable, straight through, to connect TLM-170P to an existing LAN wall socket/switch.

2.  Power on the TLM-170P monitor and press the MENU button to display the OSD menu.

3. Using the Up / Down buttons highlight SETUP NETWORK and press ENTER.

4.  Set the menu option DHCP to ‘’ON’’ and press ENTER.
   The same OSD menu screen will now show the IP address given by the network to the TLM-170P monitor. Make a note of this displayed IP address.

5. From a computer on the same DHCP LAN network open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. Delete the contents of the address bar at the top of the browser window and enter the IP address of the TLM-170P that you just made a note of earlier and press ENTER.

6. The TLM-170P REMOTE SET UP interface should now be displayed in the web browser.

7. You can now use the computer’s mouse and keyboard to change the monitor’s settings.

Once the above steps have been completed the next time you want to change settings remotely you can re-start from step 5.

 Remote Set Up using a direct computer connection

The TLM-170P can be remotely set up using a computer web browser and an Ethernet crossover cable. No existing computer network is used. The Ethernet crossover cable is connected to the TLM-170P monitor and the computer/laptop being used.

1. Use an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable to connect the TLM-170P directly to the computer being used.

2.  Power on the TLM-170P monitor and press the MENU button to display the OSD menu.

3. Using the Up / Down buttons highlight SETUP NETWORK and press ENTER.

4.  Set the menu option DHCP to ‘’OFF’’ and press ENTER.

5.  Then enter into the TLM-170P …
   IP Address: 192.168.0.210
   Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
   Gateway: 192.168.0.1

6. Now open the Network and Sharing Center window on the Windows computer. Open the Local Area Network Properties window and make a note of any displayed IP address or settings so you can return the computer back to its original settings later if necessary.

7. Now change the Computer’s TCP/IP property settings as shown below.
   Select ‘Use the following IP Address’ radio button.
   Then enter into the computer …
   IP Address: 192.168.0.205
   Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
   Gateway: 192.168.0.1

8. Now save and close any open network related windows on the computer.

9. From the computer desktop open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.

10. Delete the contents of the address bar at the top of the browser window and enter the IP address of the TLM-170P which should be 192.168.0.210 if you are following the example here.

11. When you enter the IP address in the web browser the TLM-170P’s remote settings interface should be displayed in the browser window.

Firmware update procedure

From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new features or to fix reported bugs in the current TLM-170P firmware. Customers can update the firmware themselves if they wish or they can contact their local dealer or reseller for assistance should they prefer this method. This page describes the firmware update process and it should take approximately 15 minutes total time to complete.
As well as a working TLM-170P you will need:

•  The latest firmware update for the TLM-170P monitor.
  This firmware file can be obtained from your local Datavideo office or dealer.

•  USB 2.0 pen drive 128MB or larger with a USB A connector.

Once started the update process should not be interrupted in any way as this could result in a non-responsive unit.
How to update the Scaler firmware

1. Unzip / extract the supplied zipped archive or rar folder.
2.  Wipe the contents of the USB 2.0 pen drive so it is empty.
3. Transfer / copy the unzipped / extracted file to the USB 2.0 pen drive.
4.  Plug the USB 2.0 pen drive into the USB 2.0 port labelled MAINTENANCE on the rear of the TLM-170P monitor.
5. Power the monitor on and press the MENU button to display the OSD Main Menu.
6. Using the OSD Menu buttons [UP, DOWN & ENTER] highlight and select the SETUP F.W. option.
7.  Using the OSD Menu buttons [UP, DOWN & ENTER] highlight and select UPDATE SCALER F.W.
8. The TLM-170P tally light will flash different colours whilst the update is in progress.
9. The TLM-170P monitor will reboot itself at the end of the process.

TLM-170PR: Fitting the 19” Rack Ears to the TLM-170P

The TLM-170PR is supplied with 19” Rack Ears which allow the monitor to be rack mounted (19” 7U).
Use the supplied screws to attach the left and right rack ears. You will see there are four screws on either side, as illustrated above, plus additional screws at the base of each rack ear, as illustrated below.

 TLM-170PM: Fitting the monitor to a 19” Rack

The TLM-170PM is designed to rack mount. When folded away it is 1U high, please bear in mind that when opened for operation the monitor is 7U high, so leave adequate room above for this. The monitor arrives already fitted with sliding rack rails, these have a length adjustment at the rear to suit the distance between the front and rear rack rails of your cabinet.
To adjust the length loosen the four adjustment nuts as illustrated below, and pull the side rails back as far as is required. Then re-tighten the nuts.
Mount the monitor in your rack with the rear panel facing upwards. Ensure the rack mounting screws are secured both front and rear. Once mounted and secure to the rack, unscrew the two locking screws on either side of the front panel, and pull the monitor forward using the handle. Once the monitor is fully forward simply hinge it up into a vertical position. To fold away, pull the top of the monitor forward, so that it hinges down to a horizontal position, then push it back into the rack until you are able to screw in the locking screws.
N.B. When folding the monitor away be careful not to trap your fingers or scrape your hand on the rack cabinet.
