Configure a Player to use a Proxy Server

To configure BrightSign players to connect through a proxy server, set up the server during the player setup process in BrightAuthor (in Tools > Setup A Unit > Advanced Network Setup). If you need to provide a user name and password for the proxy, you can enter it using this format: <user name>:<password>@<proxy server address> (for example, admin:root@myproxy.com).

If the password contains a special character (for example, p@ssword), validation will fail. Use the ASCII equivalent for the special character instead (for example, p%40ssword).

See URL Encode and Decode - Online for ASCII conversions.

Proxy with username and password included

A proxy server can also be set manually using a script.
