Cisco Digital Media System is the collective name for a product family that consists of Cisco Digital Media Manager (DMM) appliances, Cisco Video Portal appliances, Cisco Digital Media Player (DMP) endpoints, Cisco Digital Media Encoder (DME) devices, and all associated software components.

This guide describes how to use Cisco Digital Media Player Device Manager 1.1 (DMPDM) software that is embedded on every Cisco Digital Media Player 4305G device.

The intended audience for this guide is systems or network administrators who install, configure, or troubleshoot DMP device hardware, and anyone who owns or uses fewer than three DMPs.

---

Tip If you you own more than three DMPs but do not understand why you should use DMM-DSM instead of DMPDM to manage a digital signage network, see Understanding DMP Modes of Operation, page 5.
