Connecting the Smart TV to a local web server

If you are accessing the Internet from behind a firewall or if you do not have a fast Internet connection, set up your Smart TV as described in this section.

About this task

To simulate a server/client media streaming process, the Smart TV under test must be connected to a local web server that hosts the test signals.

Procedure

  1. Set up hardware components as described in the section that addresses hardware setup with a local web server.
  2. Download the entire playback kit onto your local web server from the DISC website (https://disc.dolbycustomer.com), and unpack it to an appropriate directory.
  3. Configure the IP address of the local web server.
  4. Assign a valid IP address for the Smart TV. (Usually, the IP is set automatically. For the procedure of setting the IP address for a Smart TV, refer to the user's manual of the Smart TV product.)
  5. Verify the connection by accessing the Start_Here.html page of the kit in the Smart TV built-in web browser.
