Network Packet Capture: Allows the capture and collection of live network packet data from the network interfaces connected to the BrightSign player.
Disable Autorun: Force the player to reboot and disable the autorun script when the device restarts. This allows the unit to display the firmware version and IP address on screen (if the unit is connected to a local network). If the player has a serial port, you will be able to access the system shell over a null-modem serial cable.
Format Storage Formatting: Takes you to the Format Storage page, which allows you format storage devices attached to the player.
Storage: Select a storage device. You can only format storage devices that are currently unformatted; storage that already contains content files or autorun scripts cannot be reformatted.
File system: Select a supported file system to use when formatting the storage device.
Telnet/SSH: Allows you to enable Telnet and SSH for your player. This lets you access the BrightSign application console when serial port (the default I/O for the application console) is inaccessible. Not that we do not recommend enabling either Telnet or SSH in a production environment for security reasons. A Port Number can be set for Telnet, and a Port Number and SSH Password can be set for SSH as shown in the image below:
