For more information, see the “Upgrading the Firmware Image” section of the Cisco StadiumVision Management Dashboard Device Configuration Commands guide.

Step 3 Go to the Management Dashboard > SV Director Configuration > System Configuration > Auto Registration Settings. Confirm or set the following values as required:

• Enable_Auto_Registration = true
• Enable_Auto_Provisioning = true
• Firmware image to use = 5.4(1)RB(2P) (select from the dropdown box)
• Manually type the firmware init.version and init.build values according to your firmware version as follows:

Disabling Failover on all DMPs

Note DMP failover is disabled by default beginning in Cisco StadiumVision Director Release 3.1.0-787 (SP1).

Sometimes when a DMP is in failover mode during an event and should be displaying content, but the video content is not staged, the TV screen is black. Therefore in Cisco StadiumVision Director Release 3.0 and later releases, Cisco Systems recommends that failover for DMPs is disabled.

To disable failover on all DMPs, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Log into Cisco StadiumVision Director as an administrator.

Step 2 Click Management Dashboard.

Step 3 Go to DMP and TV Controls > DMP Commands.

Step 4 Select Update MIB.

Step 5 Click 4310 Parameters tab.

Step 6 In the name cell, type failover.on.

Step 7 In the value cell, type false.

Step 8 In the Select Devices box, select all DMPs.

Step 9 Press the Play button to execute on selected devices.

Step 10 Turn off failover in the global MIB settings by completing the following steps:

a. From the Management Dashboard, go to SV Director Configuration > System Configuration > Global DMP Settings > 4310 v5.x.x Settings.

b. Find the Enable failover property.

c. Set the value to false.

d. Click Save changes.
