About the SML

The goal of the SML is to provide information that is easy to access, just-in-time, and which contains unique "rich media elements" to service personnel.  Examples of rich media elements include:

• video clips

• animations

• audio

The library does not serve as a single point of access for product or training information, but rather, it provides quick access to service information that has been created in rich media formats.

System requirements

To view the SML, you will need:

• Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista

• Microsoft Internet Explorer, V6.0 or later 

• System font set to small (instructions )

• 800 × 600 or greater screen area (resolution), high color (instructions )

• At least a 166MHz processor

• Windows-compatible sound card 

Finding media in the SML

To find media for a product, select the:

• category

• family, and

• series

for your product, and click on the item of your choice.

Hint: If you would like to zoom a video or play it full screen, right click on the video and select a zoom option from the menu that is displayed. Not all videos support full screen display. To return to normal play, right click on the video again and select an option.

Downloading the animation player

Many animations in the SML use Macromedia Flash Player.

Downloading the video player

To view the video clips in the SML, use Windows Media Player.

If no movie is visible after you click on the left, get Windows Media Player.

Troubleshooting tips

• If the video seems to run but you do not see an image, upgrade or reinstall the player.
• Some older videos require the Sipro Lab Telecom ACELP.net (130) codec. If some videos do not play, click here to download and install the codec.

Downloading other players

If the media in the SML requires another player not listed above, follow the directions accompanying the media to download and install the player.
