  • Network Configuration: View extensive information about network interface settings.

  • Network Diagnostics: Run network diagnostics. This process may take some time to complete, especially when certain tests fail.

  • DNS Lookup: Test the specified DNS address to check whether name resolution is working.

  • Ping: Ping a device with the specified IP address or DNS name.

  • Trace Route: Perform a standard traceroute diagnostic on the specified IP/DNS address. Check the Resolve IP Addresses box to resolve the specified DNS name.

  • Chromium Debugging: This feature lets you enable the JavaScript console if you have also selected Enable JavaScript console in Presentation tab > State Properties > OptionsIf you want to disable the JavaScript console, you can do that by unselecting the checkbox. The console should only be enabled for presentations that are not in production, since it can cause memory and security issues.

  • Network Neighborhood: Display information on the current network neighborhood.

  • 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.

  • Storage Formatting: Selecting this option displays the Storage Formatting pop up, which allows you format storage devices attached to the player.

    • Storage: Select a storage device from the drop down menu (either sd, ssd, or usb). 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 and SSH Access: Enables Telnet and SSH on the player. This lets you access the BrightSign application console when serial port (the default I/O for the application console) is inaccessible. For security reasons, we do not recommend enabling either Telnet or SSH in a production environment. This is only available in BOS 9.0.110 or 8.5.46 and above.

    • Enable telnetTelnet: Enter the Telnet port number (23 is the default)

    • Enable SSH (optional): Enter the SSH port number (22 is the default)

    • SSH Password (optional): Enter the SSH password
