As covered in the Start Here section (highly recommended reading), when configuring a BrightSign player for use, the player must have a “Setup” applied. The Setup contains information such as the intended Publishing Mode as well as various player settings.

Default Setup

When a player is provisioned and a Setup is not explicitly applied to it, the Default Setup will be applied to the player. The Default Setup can help streamline player provisioning. Players are configured from the factory with the BrightSign Default Setup and users can create their own custom Default Setupbe one of two BrightSign Default Setups or it can be a custom one.

Content Cloud Default Setup

...

If the player is being added to a Content Cloud network (either paid or under the free trial), the Default Setup will configure the player for the Content Cloud Publishing Mode.

Control Cloud Default Setup

If the player is not being added to a Content Cloud network (either paid or under the free trial), it will by default use the free Control Cloud. In this case, the Default Setup will configure the player for the Local Network Publishing Mode.

Custom Default Setup

Users can create their own Default Setup such that when a player is provisioned (Provision > Add Player), the Default Setup is automatically applied if no other Setup has been explicitly applied.To create a custom Default Setup, simply create a Setup and give it the name decide what Setup gets applied to players by default through the creation of a custom Default Setup. This is done by creating or modifying a Setup and naming it Default Setup (case and spelling must match exactly as shown). When a player is provisioned and no other Setup has been explicitly applied to the player, this custom Default Setup will be automatically applied.

BSN.cloud

While BrightAuthor:connected does offer limited functionality without a BSN.cloud account, accessing the full functionality of BrightAuthor:connected requires that users be logged in to BSN.cloud.

This section specifies the publishing mode Publishing Mode the player will use. The Publishing Modes are explained below but this page may also help in understanding  This page is recommended to better understand these modes.

• Standalone: This mode involves publishing your presentation to a storage device (such as a microSD card or USB drive) and then manually inserting the storage device into the player. This method is generally suitable if your player doesn't have a network connection and/or you do not plan to update the presentation frequently. You can use the USB drive to update the schedule/presentation if you don't want to remove the SD card and/or it is inaccessible. The USB drive can be used with or without a password: the password protection feature ensures that a player cannot be updated with the Publish for USB update option unless the correct password is supplied. If you choose to require a password, note that the password cannot be changed once configured, and cannot be recovered. Seethis page for more information.

• Local Network: This mode publishes presentations to players over the local network. Players set up for Local Network require the Local Web Server to be enabled which can be done via the Player Configuration part of the Player Settings:
