Overview

Device Provisioning allows you to provision players for your BSN.cloud network: When you power on a new (or factory reset) player that has been added to the Device Provisioning library, the player will automatically retrieve and apply the Device Setup associated with it. 

Prerequisites

  1. You must be logged in to a BSN.cloud account.
  2. Note the player serial number, which can be found on the bottom of the player or on the side of the packaging box.
  3. Connect your players to an active network connection and to a display screen through HDMI®.
  4. Your players must be powered on and have a blank MicroSD card.
  5. You must have a Device Setup (see this page for instructions):
    1. Note the Package Name.
    2. Make sure that the setup file is in the library (choose Add Setup File to Library).

Provisioning Individual Players

  1. Select Device Provisioning from the Admin tab.

  2. Select  Add Device to add a player to the Device Provisioning library. You will be prompted to enter the following information:
    1. Serial Number: The serial number of the player

    2. Device Name and Device Description: An optional name and description for the player. If these are not specified, they will default to the values in the Device Setup you apply to the player.

  3. Select the checkbox next to the player(s) you want to provision.
  4. Select Apply Setup:
    1. If the player(s) have not been provisioned or set up already, they will download the Device Setup from the BSN.cloud servers when they boot up.
    2. If the players have been setup previous, applying a new setup will re-provision the device, causing it to download the new setup and restart.

The Apply Application option in this menu lets you assign a BrightSign partner application to selected players in the list. At setup, the players will download the application package from the specified Application URL and set up the player for the partner application. You can also select Delete Device(s). Deleted players will not be automatically provisioned the first time they boot up. This action does not affect players that have already been provisioned, unless they are factory reset.

  1. Select Device Provisioning from the Admin page.

  3. Select Upload Provisioning File under the Device Provisioning tab to provision the players automatically using the file.
