    Need to buy a 1U Server

    If one already owns a 1U+ server, but has the smaller (6TB or 10TB) drives, is there an option to purchase 12TB replacement drives to get to the 36TB capacity with the existing server? Or, must one exchange the complete 1U+ for a 36TB model, similar to how one must exchange a Terra server to...

    M700 has static IP for wrong network - workaround?

    Hope it works out. FYI, when you select telnet in PuTTy it defaults to port 23 and then you have to manually update the port to 10000. Because of that, I had an incorrect screen grab in my post above, but I've now updated that with an edited/corrected image

    M700 has static IP for wrong network - workaround?

    After posting above I became curious if the M700 supported telnet so that you wouldn't need to have a serial port connection. In searching I found this thread from awhile back - reset M300? So telnet is supported on port 10000 and post #4 in the referenced thread has the command to reset to...

    M700 has static IP for wrong network - workaround?

    That's unfortunate. In the past I've looked at one of my 1500 server's diagnostic info via the serial port, but don't recall doing that for any of my players. I have a windows laptop and used a USB to serial port adapter along with the PuTTy (free download) terminal program. For that it...

    M700 has static IP for wrong network - workaround?

    Were you able to try the reset button on the M700 to get it back to DHCP? It's been awhile, but I believe I used the reset button in the past for an M700 I purchased awhile back. More info on the Kscape site here -...

    Any tips/tricks to force Strato to update kOS?

    That did it, Thank You! I learned that the General tab shows additional information indicating the update is downloaded/available. After I triggered the restart, the update installed and the movie is downloading now. I really appreciate the great support in getting my system back on track.

    Any tips/tricks to force Strato to update kOS?

    Hi All, Would anyone have any advice or tips/tricks that could help with forcing a kOS update? I purchased a movie last night which will not download due to the message "..will not download until an automatic kOS update is installed". Image of full message below. I followed the guidance in...

    Wiring from Central Equipment Rack

    CAT 6A most likely will work assuming no interference from other cables and electrical lines and quality HDMI transmitters/receivers. Here's link to info for one of Crestron's 4K HDR transmitters, the Specifications tab has guidelines for cable lengths -...

    Strato Can’t be found

    As others have suggested the network changes could be the issue. Do you know if the Strato and Alto are on the same subnet as determined by the IP addresses for the Alto and Strato? Prior to your upgrade to the UDM, do you know what was acting as the DHCP server on your network? Or do you use...

    How To Get Discounted Prices In The Movie Store

    I also was not able to find the "Disc Search" app on the Google Play store on my Android phone, but I do have it on my iPhone. That leads me to believe KScape only released it to the Apple Store for IOS devices. I will say its a useful app, as it also indicates if you already own a movie...

    1U power supply replacement (maybe)

    Personally, I would recommend going larger on something like this so that you aren't near the maximum capacity and stressing the supply which could lead to early failure. I've found over the years with electronics that its better to have some reserve capacity vs operating near or at the max...

    Help - Opinion on Strato S - Would appreciate feedback

    I think you may want to share more on what you consider important factors for rating. At this time I can't comment on quality of the picture/sound as I haven't yet pulled the trigger on upgrading my Kscape system to a Strato/Terra and everything else to distribute 4K video. But, I do have a...

    Workaround found! Non-catalogued Blu-Ray cannot be played due to region mismatch

    I noticed today that I have a similar issue with some titles imported from region B discs. I tried the work around of playing and then pausing on my region B player, but then I didn't see it listed in my paused titles collection on my region A players. I also have the same problem of not being...

    Options for Vented Rack Mount Drawers?

    Thank you for the model number and link. In looking at that Middle Atlantic drawer, it appears to have a painted steel face instead of brushed anodized and unfortunately it requires more mounting depth than I have available in my office rack. In searching/browsing various offerings I just...

    Options for Vented Rack Mount Drawers?

    I'll do some more searching to try finding that Middle Atlantic drawer. I don't need a lock, but would like a front face. The sliding shelves I've seen don't have a front face.

    Options for Vented Rack Mount Drawers?

    Hi All, I'm looking to tidy up my home office a bit and would like to place a laptop and its docking station into the rack I have in the closet. Ideally I would like a drawer with vents so that it doesn't overheat when powered up in the rack and I can easily take the laptop out when needed. I...

    Download Schedule Enhancement

    I live in a rural area with slow internet (just got 40Mbs 18 months ago after living with 3Mbs and different wireless options). It would be nice if the download schedule had the ability to have multiple time slots or two schedules for daytime/nighttime with corresponding bandwidth control, or...
