BrightSign – Install OnSign TV (Local Network Method)

Requirements:

  • Use a USB stick or an empty FAT32 or ExFAT SD Card. If the storage device is not empty, the installation process will not work!
  • Make sure the player's ethernet cable is connected so the player can obtain an IP address.
  • You will need a computer connected to the same network as the player to access the BrightSign player web interface remotely.

  2. Disconnect the power cable.
  3. Press and hold the "Reset" and "SVC" buttons simultaneously while you connect the power cable to the BrightSign player at the same time.
