About the Web-based User Interface
The web-based user interface is used to view, configure, and control the SME 100. This section details how to access the
web-based user interface and install media player software. For more information on using the web-based user interface, see the
SME 100 User Guide.
NOTE: SME 100 firmware versions 2.0 and higher use the Extron streaming media player (SMP) available for download from
the SME 100 file management page or from the SME 100 download page at
www.extron.com
.
