Connect player and server

Note

Before you begin the initialization, ensure that the player has been set up on the server and has a valid license.

There are two ways to connect the player to the IXM server:

• Use the generic provisioning service.

• Use the classic InitBox.

Initialize the player via generic provisioning

Note the following prerequisites:

• You need a PC to open the provisioning service website via: yourserver.xy/gv2/gf/provisioning/#/

• Note the TPID from the InitBox to connect to the server and load all pre-configured settings and content.
