Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the default Wi-Fi password?
For older Taurus devices, the default Wi-Fi password is "12345678". For newer devices, the default password is "SN2008@+" unless you have already changed it. If you are locked out, there is a factory reset button on the device that will restore the default password, but this will also cause it to lose all configurations.
Q: How do I configure the TB50 with NovaLCT?
Taurus media players are configured slightly differently from regular controllers. In NovaLCT go to User -> Media Player Login, select the device from the list and click "Connect System". The username is admin and the password will be 123456 or SN2008@+
Q: How do I update the Firmware on TB50?
In ViPlex Express go to Control -> Player Upgrade. Click on "..." and specify the path to the .nuzip file. If you only have the .zip version you need to extract it so you can use the .nuzip file.
