Compact Terra Prime Movie Server SSD - Quick Start Guide

Setting Up the Terra Server

1. Connect the wired network. A 2.5-gigabit Ethernet connection is recommended for maximum performance, Gigabit ethernet is required as a minimum.
2. Connect the power supply. A surge protector is recommended. Please wait a few minutes for the server to start.
3. Open the Kaleidescape mobile app for a guided setup, or continue with one of the options below...

    

   (OR)   If installing with a *new* Strato K/V/E/M: Use the player’s onscreen menu to Set up this player as a new system....
   If your new server isn’t on the Join System screen, ensure the player’s software version is 26.2.0 or higher and both are on the same network subnet.
   
   

   (OR)   If installing with existing Strato K/V/E/M or Terra server(s): Add your new Terra to your system: From a web browser on the same network, go to http://my-kaleidescape.local/components.
   You should see a list of components in your existing system. If not, click “Connect to another system” at the top of the page to see all systems. Click the desired system, then navigate to the Settings, Components page.

    

   Click Add a Component and choose your new Terra from the pop-up window.
   Note that when grouping with a standalone Strato player, its local storage will be deactivated and movies deleted, requiring redownload.

Congratulations! Your Terra server enables features not available on standalone Strato players:
- Create your own collections
- Movie List and Movie Covers places are accessible from Menu
- You can manage your local movie collection from a web browser
- Movies will not be deleted automatically

For Best Experience

Connect to fast Internet. Downloads are fastest when all equipment and ISP connections are 2.5Gbps rated AND your ISP doesn’t throttle traffic.

Router Quality of Service (QoS) settings may cause slow downloads. Try adjusting these if there are issues.

Adjust the blue glow brightness from a web browser. Use the Front Panel Lights drop down to brighten/dim/turn off. From a web browser on the same network, go to http://my-kaleidescape.local/components

Use the included Ethernet cable. If using your own Ethernet cable, use Cat6 and avoid shielded cables where the shield is connected at both ends. If a single end shielded cable is used, insert the unconnected (floating) connector to the component. Connected shields inject network and household electrical noise, and shields connected to both ends create ground loops that can degrade A/V performance.

Keep the network cable length to 10’ (3m) or less. If longer is required, insert a network switch between the server and long cable. This will reduce electrical noise and best protect against damaging surges.
