Add and Edit DMP Groups
Note DMM uses TCP port 7777 to communicate with DMPs. This port is open on DMPs. You cannot close it.
When you create or edit a DMP group, the least that you must do is name the group. In addition, you can
populate the group automatically with all of the DMPs in any NMAP address range that you specify, or you
can manually add DMPs to a group.
Tip You can save a named group for use in the future, even if you have not yet assigned any DMPs to it.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Digital Media Players > DMP Manager.
Step 2 Do either of the following.
Click Create Group.
Click a group to highlight it in the tree, and then choose More Actions > Edit Group.
Step 3 Enter a name and a description for the group.
Step 4 Define the network ranges from which to autoregister DMPs that should join this DMP group.
OR
You can skip this step if you will not autoregister DMPs now.
Tip DMM runs each autodiscovery job one time. It does not look continually in the specified network range for DMPs
that you might add in the future. When you plan to add DMPs to your network continually, you can schedule an
autodiscovery event to recur as often as necessary.
Step 5 Click OK to save your work.
Step 6 Stop. You have completed this procedure.
