This page outlines how to update the network settings on a player. If you're using the BrightSign Network, you can update the network settings of players remotely. If you're using another publishing method, you will need to write BrightAuthor setup files to the local storage of the player–there are several ways to do this (see below).

Editing Network Settings via BrightSign Network

You can use either BrightAuthor or the BSN WebUI to edit the network settings of a BSN networked player.

BrightAuthor

  1. Open BrightAuthor.

  2. If you're not signed in to BSN, go to Tools > Sign In to BrightSign Network and sign in using your credentials.

  3. Navigate to the Manage > Status tab.

  4. Expand the group that the player belongs to.

  5. Right click the player and select Edit.

  6. Edit the Network Properties as needed.

  7. Click OK. The player will update itself the next time it checks in with the BSN servers.

...

When the player reboots, it will unpack the autorun.zip file, reconfigure itself, and reboot again. The current presentation(s) on the SD card will be erased, so you will need to republish them to the player.

Tip

If you don't have the DWS enabled on the player, you can edit the network settings by writing the autorun.zip file to the root of an SD card, inserting it into the player, and rebooting the player.
