The Local Network section allows you to perform a number of remote operations on players located on your local network. If Bonjour has been installed on your PC and enabled in the Edit > Preferences > Networking tab, then players set up for Local File Networking will be discovered automatically (see this FAQ for more details). If Bonjour is not enabled, you can populate the list of players by clicking the Add BrightSign button in the bottom left and entering the IP address of the player.
