===== Samsung Displays =====

Zebrix Control allows you to monitor and control your Samsung displays connected to your network via the **MDC (Multi Display Control)** protocol.

Before configuring the display in Zebrix Control, make sure it is properly set up.

==== Display Preconfiguration ====

    * Connect the display to the network via **Ethernet or Wi-Fi**.
    * Enable the **MDC** feature via: **Menu > System > Network > MDC Connection**.
    * Note the display’s **IP address**.
    * Disable **Secure Protocol** via: **Menu > Security > Secure Protocol**.

⚠️ Disabling the secure protocol is required to allow communication with the MDC driver.

==== Configuration in Zebrix Control ====

In the Samsung driver configuration:

  * Enter the display’s **IP address** or **hostname** (example: `12.233.43.12` or `screen1.acme.com`).
  * Enter the **Screen ID** if it has been configured on the display (default value: `0`).

Once configured, the probe will be able to retrieve metrics and send commands (power on/off, volume, status, etc.).

==== Digital Signage Mode Limitations ====

Some metrics or commands may not be available depending on the screen configuration.

**For example**: The **Standby Control** command may not be available when the screen is using the **URL Launcher** source.

In this case, the absence of a metric response does not indicate a malfunction of the driver or the probe, but simply a limitation related to the screen’s operating mode.
==== 802.1X Support ====

Zebrix Control supports integrating Samsung displays into a secure **802.1X** network.

⚠️ The display must run at least **Tizen 7** for 802.1X TLS support to be available.

To register your display on an 802.1X network:

  * From Zebrix Control, upload your certificate in `.p12` or `.pfx` format.
  * On the display, select **802.1X TLS** mode in the security settings.
  * Enter the desired identifier (ID).
  * Enter the password associated with the `.p12` or `.pfx` file.

After validation, the display will automatically authenticate on the secure network.
