BrightSign Default Setup
Unless a player is explicitly assigned a specific Setup, the BrightSign “Default Setup” will be applied. With the BrightSign Default Setup, the player will search for a network connection via Ethernet and, if a connection is found, obtain an IP address using DHCP.
If the player has a Content Cloud subscription (or is using the free trial), the player’s default Publishing Mode will be BSN.cloud. If the player does not have a Content Cloud subscription (and is not using the free trial), the player’s default Publishing Mode will be Local Network.
Many users may find that the BrightSign Default Setup is acceptable for their needs in which case explicitly applying a Setup may not be required.
Custom Default Setup
Users have the option of using another Setup (instead of the BrightSign Default Setup) to function as the default that is automatically applied to players that have not been explicitly provisioned. This involves creating a new Setup specifically named “Default Setup” (case and spelling must match exactly as shown). By using a Default Setup, players do not have to be explicitly provisioned - any player not explicitly provisioned will have the Default Setup automatically applied upon activation which is the process of using a QR code to provision a player (more details here).
More details about Setups and More info about Setups can be found here and more info about provisioning can be found here.
