MxDisplay automatic reboot by camera - nnm - 08-02-2020 MxDisplay software doe not support automatic reboot of the device. In some cases, such a reboot might be usefull. A workaround is to have the camera send a HTTP-API request. The HTTP-API command is http://Ip of the MxDisplay/do_reboot.cgi?reboot=yes This can be done in two steps in the cameras web-interface. 1. Create a new ip notify profile Open “Admin Menu=>Transfer Profiles=>Ip Notify Profiles” and add a new profile. IP Notify Type: Custom Configuration Name of the profile: e.g “RebootDisplay” Destination Address: Ip Address of the MxDisplay:80 Data Protocol: HTTP/1.0-Request CGI-Path: /do_reboot-cgi HTTP Authentication: admin:password (for MxDisplay web-interface) Message: reboot=yes Keep any parameters not mentioned above at default. 2. Create a job in time tasks Open “Admin Menu=>Camera Administration=>Time Tasks” In “Select task…” select your notification profile. (IP Notify “RebootDisplay” if you followed the above example) Define the time or interval for this task, the online help “?”-Icon on top left or http://<Ip of camera>/help/help?timetasks explains how to. Store settings by clicking “Set” and “Close”. To test your new profile, open “Admin Menu=>Network Setup=>Test Current Network Configuration”. From here you can start transfer of the ip notify profile manually and check if the MxDisplay reboots.
