Internet Connection

BrightSign players must have an active internet connection in order to use BSN.cloud. Both wired and WiFi connections are supported.

If you have no ethernet connectivity, you will have to write the setup file directly onto the player’s SD card to give the player your WiFi credentials.

Go to the player's local Diagnostic Web Server at its IP address. Make sure that the WiFi module is recognized there. If it is recognized, it should look something like Image 1.

  1. Go to the Diagnostic tab and select run Network Diagnostics

  2. Create a BSN.Cloud network at https://bsn.cloud/

  3. Log in and add your player's serial number under Admin > Provision.

  4. Create a setup file with your WiFi information and add itto the Library.

  5. Return to Admin > Provision and apply this newly created setup package to your player.

  6. Format the player's SD card if the player has been previously set up (it is not new).

  7. Apply a factory reset if the player has been previously set up (it is not new).

If there is no DHCP server available to initially assign a dynamic IP, you will have to write the setup file directly onto the player SD card to assign a static IP to the player.

  1. Create a BSN.Cloud network at https://bsn.cloud/

  2. Log in and add your player's serial number under Admin > Provision.

  3. Create a setup file with your static IP information, as shown in Image 2, and add itto the Library.

  4. Return to Admin > Provision and apply this newly created setup package to your player.

  5. Format the player's SD card if the player has been previously set up (it is not new).
