2020-11-25 TV set-top box SML 292 Premium is a decoder that helps broadcast TV and TV programs with IPTV technology. The user is given the opportunity not only to watch videos in HD quality, but also can connect various removable gadgets.

Setup usually does not cause problems, as it is simple and intuitive, and there is a remote control. The set-top box easily connects to almost every TV. Installation for communication with a projector is also possible. Using SML 292 Premium from MGTS is a huge list of various advantages and excellent versatility.

SML-282 HD base and SML-292 HD Premium are STB set-top boxes for watching IPTV from Smartlabs. At MTS, devices are sold with the manufacturer’s nameplate, but for Rostelecom, set-top boxes are already branded, i.e. with the name of the provider on the front panel. The characteristics are quite good for a simple IPTV set-top box: a powerful STi7105 processor and 256 MB of RAM allow you to play streaming HDTV with a resolution of up to 1080p60 (and the SML-292 also supports 3DTV), the presence of a USB connector (the SML-292 has 2 of them) ), support for USB Wi-Fi modules, HDMI with HDCP support, optical SPDIF.
The devices have all the necessary connectors to connect any more or less modern TV. The only thing missing is the archaic SCART, which I think is no longer needed.

Installation and configuration

Installation and configuration can be ordered from MGTS specialists. However, the procedures are quite simple, so you can do everything yourself. Installation is done next to the TV. It is important to note that the decoder should only be placed horizontally. To connect you need to do:

• connect cables from the set-top box to the TV;
• connect the decoder to the Internet cable;
• switch the TV to work with external gadgets;
• turn on the console.

When you turn it on for the first time, the device automatically updates the software. After that, you can configure the TV channels as needed. If the equipment is provided with a remote control, then it is connected to the decoder. To do this, turn on the device, and simultaneously press the “Favorites” and “next frame” buttons on the remote control. If the indicator is constantly on, it means the remote control has been connected successfully. If this is not the case, then the procedure must be repeated again.

The most frequently asked questions about Smartlab SML-282 HD and SML-292 HD:

Where can I find the firmware for Smartlab SML-282 or SML-292?

Set-top boxes come with software tailored for the operator. Operators do not publish firmware in open form; they are broadcast via multicast. When loading, the set-top box checks for a new version and is automatically updated.

You can install an HDD on the SML-292. How can I use it on my console?

Yes, the SML-292 has the ability to install a 2.5-inch hard drive. But installing it physically is only half the battle. It is also necessary that the firmware for your operator supports this function. For example, in the case of Rostelecom, installing a hard drive is pointless, because The firmware cannot play video directly from the media.

You can connect USB drives, flash drives, USB WiFi adapters, etc. to the set-top box. How to use them on the console?

The situation is similar to the previous question - it all depends on the firmware used by your operator.

How to find out the MAC address of the SML-282 or SML-292 set-top box?

The MAC address of your set-top box is indicated on a sticker on the bottom of the device. The second method is after loading the operator menu, go to the System Information section or look for something similar.

Where can I find codes for the console remote control?

Different remote control models may be supplied to different providers. See the instructions for the remote control on the website of your IPTV operator.

How to configure control of the set-top box from a third-party universal remote control?

There is no special code for the SML IR remote control. Try training the remote control for each button on the included console remote control.

When connecting a set-top box on the TV, there is a blue screen or the message “No signal”. What to do?

Check if you have connected the set-top box to the TV correctly. Also check that the video input number is selected correctly, because modern TVs have up to 3 low-frequency outputs and from 2 to 5 HDMI inputs. If everything is connected correctly and the correct video input is selected, then the problem is with the set-top box itself - take it to the service center.

When you turn on the console, a cartoon about a rabbit is played on the screen. What it is?

Your set-top box does not have the provider's firmware. Check that the set-top box is connected correctly and the router settings are correct. If everything is connected and configured correctly, contact technical support - most likely you do not have the port configured on the subscriber’s equipment.

The following message appears on the screen: Error: no IP address and below is the Reboot button. Rebooting doesn't help - what should I do?

Check whether the network patch cord (LAN cable) is connected from the router to the set-top box, whether the connectors are fully inserted on both sides, whether the green light on the network connector of the set-top box and the indicator on the corresponding port of the router are on. If the indicators do not light, check the patch cord for damage. If the indicators are on, then check the IPTV settings on the router. If the settings are correct, call your provider’s technical support.

Multimedia set-top box from Rostelecom – SML 282/292 HD Base

Digital set-top boxes SML 282 and 292 are equipped with proprietary firmware from Rostelecom, in which all the basic services of the provider are already configured. In addition to the channels themselves in digital quality, interactive television offers additional opportunities, including:

• delayed viewing of TV shows (files are stored on the service for 48 hours);
• online cinema;
• weather forecast;
• social networks (Vkontakte, Facebook, twitter).

Digital television

IPTV is digital television played on a TV through a broadband connection to a provider. In this service, channels are encoded in IP format and delivered to the screen via a set-top box. IPTV also includes video on demand, which is similar to watching CD/DVD content using a VCD/DVD player.

Principle of operation

IPTV converts the television signal into small packets of computer data. This is how any form of online traffic is transmitted, such as email or web pages. There are three main components of IPTV.

The first of them is the content on the provider’s server, which is received, encoded and stored for subsequent transmission to the user. In addition to the TV channels themselves, it contains all additional materials available for customers to order.

The second component is the delivery network, which uses the carrier's broadband networks.

Set-top boxes SML 282, 292 or any other model are the third component of IPTV from Rostelecom, acting as a network client. The client equipment collects data packets into video information that the viewer sees on the TV screen.

Advantages of IPTV

The quality of digital video and audio is much better than traditional analog television. When connecting additional functions, it easily becomes interactive. For example, while watching a sports match, viewers will be able to study the player's history directly on the TV screen. You can also schedule a recording of your favorite program, even when you are not at home. Thanks to the video on demand option, an online catalog of films and their instant viewing becomes available.

IPTV uses standard network protocols, which reduces costs for both operators and consumers. Since digital television uses the same network cable as the Internet, you can do without extra cords.

IPTV restrictions

IPTV is based on the Internet protocol. If the connection is not fast enough, packet loss may occur, causing delays in playback.

Connectors and buttons on the case

SML 282 and 292 for Rostelecom are almost identical. The only difference is the slot for a 2.5-inch hard drive in the older model.

To correctly connect the set-top box to the TV, it is recommended to carefully examine the back panel of the device, on which the ports are located:

• network (LAN);
• audio-video, composite and HDMI;
• audio S/PDIF;
• USB (for removable storage media);
• power (Power).

The choice of method for displaying images on the TV screen is very extensive. The recommended option is an HDMI cable that supports video resolutions up to 1080p. If you are using an old TV, then the connection will need to be made using a composite cable. An S/PDIF connector is provided for users who want maximum sound quality in their own home theater.

The side panel also has several connectors. Hidden here is another USB port, a headphone output (mini-jack 3.5 mm), two microphone inputs (mini-jack 3.5 mm) and a factory reset button.

Attention! Do not press the factory reset button. The default settings do not contain a list of Rostelecom channels. In this case, you will need to contact the service department to get help or call a specialist to enter the necessary parameters.

The front panel is almost empty, but when you turn on the set-top box you will notice a small indicator that notifies you about the status of the equipment and the activity of the remote control. An infrared signal receiver is also located here.

Set-top box equipment

In addition to the remote control for the device and the set-top box itself, the SML 282 set from Rostelecom “out of the box” includes:

• power adapter;
• HDMI cable;
• RJ45 network cable;
• composite audio video cable.

This configuration is enough to connect equipment to both new high-definition TVs and older models, thanks to the presence of a composite cable.

Getting started with an IPTV set-top box

The SML 282 or 292 HD Base set-top box for subsequent configuration for Rostelecom services must be correctly installed and connected to audio-video equipment. Thanks to high-performance components, the quality of sound and video signal transmission will be quite sufficient to create a home theater.

Since many modern TVs are wall-mounted, the equipment provides a vertical installation option.

In this case, screws are used, onto which a digital set-top box is attached using grooves on the bottom of the device. If, with this placement, the remote control cannot interact correctly, then the user will need to purchase a special infrared extension cord. It is a transmitter that is placed at the optimal angle for control. The extension cord is connected to the headphone jack.

Installation of the attachment in the usual position is carried out without additional components.

• leave 30 cm of free space above the device;
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight;
• Do not place the console on equipment that heats up during use.

Following these simple rules will help maintain the normal temperature of the set-top box and thereby extend its service life.

Attention! Violation of operating instructions will result in loss of warranty. When using the set-top box correctly, the provider or equipment manufacturer assumes responsibility for all malfunctions.

The set-top box is connected directly at the place of its installation. Connections to the connectors on the rear panel include:

• network cable;
• power supply cord;
• one of the audio-video cables (HDMI or composite).

After this, the console will be completely ready for use.
