Concepts
Information That Medianet and DMPs Exchange
Medianet and a DMP 4310G can exchange these types of data.

• system name
• system object
• hardware revision
• firmware revision
• software revision
• seial number
• manufacturing name
• model name
• asset identifier
• CDP timeout
• VLAN assignment
• switch port assignment
• switch name and model
• switch IP address
• loation string

Restrictions
Wireless Networks
• Ethernet connections take priority over Wi-Fi connections on DMPs where both are active.
• We do not support “open” Wi-Fi networks. They are a security risk.
• We do not support media streams to DMPs over Wi-Fi networks. The experience is poor.
• DMP 4305G endpoints do not support Wi-Fi.
Autoregistration
• Autoregistration depends upon the Cisco TAC Troubleshooting Access option for DMPs and fails
unless this option is enabled.
Login Credentials
• All DMPs that you manage centrally in DMM must share one identical set of DMPDM
login credentials.
Medianet
• When a DMP 4310G relies upon a Medianet switch where more than one VLAN uses DHCP, the
DMP might come to use the wrong IP address. For this to occur, temporary conditions that do not
sever the DMP's AC power connection must nonetheless interrupt its network connection through
