If you had previously activated the player for use with BSN.cloud, refer to the directions here on how to delete the player’s provisioning record and then return here.

In this example, we will be provisioning the player prior to booting up the player for the first time. If a new player does not already have a provisioning record, powering up the player will take the user to the Player Activation screen. Once the player is activated, the BrightSign Default Setup will automatically be applied to the player upon activation of the player with BSN.cloud. Reprovisioning the player would then be required to apply a different Setup. Provisioning the player prior to activating the player thus saves the step of having to reprovision the player. |

Do not power up the player.
Write down the player’s Serial Number. The Serial Number can be found on the label on the bottom of the player itself or on a label on the box that the player was packaged in.
Go to Admin / > Provision / > Add Player. Enter the Serial Number you wrote down. If desired, you can also enter an optional Player Name and Player Description.
Select Add Player.
...
Select the player you wish to provision. This should be the player with the serial number you just added above.
Select Apply App URL from the drop-down menu.
In the pop-up window, select App URL and enter the URL where the desired autorun.zip file resides. If you like, you can use the example URL here: https://www.brightsign.biz/examples/autorun.zip

Another common way of provisioning is to create a Setup. The Setup contains information such as the intended publishing mode as well as various player settings. Once created, the Setup can be applied to one or many players. The Setup can also be easily modified if required (for example, to change the URL for an App URL configured Setup). More details about Setups can be found here.
A custom “Default Setup” can also be created. By using a Default Setup, players do not have to be explicitly provisioned. Any player not previously provisioned will automatically apply the Default Setup upon activation. More details about provisioning can be found here.
API Integration
The Control Cloud offers, free of charge, a wealth of functionality along with a UI to access that functionality. Partners can also utilize the Control Cloud’s APIs to enable their users to use an alternative UI to access the functionality of the Control Cloud. These APIs will be covered in the Resources section of this guide.
Next, we will go over the many Developer Tools that BrightSign offers partners.
