BSN Ports and URLs for Players and Software

To use BrightAuthor with the BrightSign Network (BSN), you must configure BrightAuthor to communicate with BSN servers. Then you can deliver content to your networked players by opening BrightAuthor, logging into BSN, uploading presentations, and publishing to Groups. For more details on publishing with BSN, see the latest BrightAuthor User Guide.

NTP Port Configuration

By default, BrightSign players are configured to use the HTTP Time Protocol (HTP) to synchronize their clocks with the BSN time server. However, they can also be configured to use NTP, in which case UDP port 123 is used to set the date and time. This is a standard port used for setting time, though it is occasionally blocked on some networks.

IP Addresses

ICMP should be allowed for the following IP addresses (ports 80/TCP, 443/TCP, 123/UDP) for BSN communication to work:

  • 184.72.42.7

  • 184.72.220.33

  • 50.17.250.31

  • 184.72.41.254

Because BrightSign players should be able to connect to Amazon S3 services, and there is no official list of Amazon S3 networks, players should be able to connect to any IP address on port 80.

BrightAuthor Access Requirements
