## Connect player and IXM One

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Before you begin the initialization, ensure that the player has been set up on the server and has a valid license in IXM One.

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

- Use the generic provisioning service
- Use the classic InitBox

### Initialize the player via generic provisioning

Note the following prerequisites:

- Generic provisioning requires IXM One version 11.15 or later.
- 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.

> [!NOTE]
> Note

### Initialize the player via the classic InitBox
