BrightSign Player Setup
To set up a BSBI player, navigate to Tools from the menu, and select Setup
BrightSign Unit.
Under Name Specification, select a name for your player. Select “Use name only” to
display only the selected name during local network publishing, or “Append unit ID” to
insert the player’s unique ID at the end of its name.
Under Network Properties, select Enable Wireless and fill out the SSID and
password if you want your player to communicate over a wireless network.
Further network settings, both Wired and Wireless, can be found under Advanced
Network Setup.
Under Unit Configuration, you may select one of three publishing options.
• Select “Standalone” to only allow the player to be updated directly from an SD
card or USB Drive
• Select “Networked with Local File Networking” to allow publishing directly
from BrightAuthor over a network connection
• Select “Simple File Networking” to publish from a web server
Select “Create Setup Files” when you are satisfied with your settings, and select a
folder, USB or SD card location to write the setup files. You may then insert the SD
card or USB drive containing the set-up files into your BrightSign player. A message
will display informing you that setup is complete, and you may reboot the player and
publish content to it.
Note: USB updating still requires an SD card to be present within the unit.
