TWO MODES OF OPERATION
S
TANDALONE
Standalone setup allows the NMP-530 to act as an independent network device to display content on a
Plasma Display Panel (PDP) or a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for digital signage or narrowcasting
applications. Content can come from either the remote server or local storage on the NMP-530.
TAS MANAGED
You can purchase TAS separately through Tivella (www.tivella.com or a Tivella dealer/reseller). A
TAS server should be used to configure and manage multiple NMP-530s remotely. TAS provides
centralized scheduling of video content presentation on multiple NMP-530s, as well as management
and seamless operation of a Cisco
®
ACNS Content Distribution Networking infrastructure if one is
installed. This configuration greatly reduces maintenance overhead, when TAS and the NMP-530 are
connected to the network (LAN/WAN) with the TAS acting as a manager for multiple NMP-530s.
