Setup
Remote Setup Settings
If the iCOMPEL is reporting using HTTPS it can be configured to report its setup files and receive updates to them from the
iCOMPEL Deployment Manager.
If the iCOMPEL is reporting over a VPN connection it can also donate its setup files to the iCOMPEL Deployment Manager
which will provide them as updates to every iCOMPEL that has been configured (on the iCOMPEL Deployment Manager) to
receive them.
Categories
Select the Categories for which the iCOMPEL will report, donate and accept updates for.
Note: The Channel category is not available for Remote Setup when the iCOMPEL is configured as a Publisher .
The iCOMPEL Deployment Manager help pages contain a guide on how to configure and use Remote Setup in more detail
as this feature can be managed from it.
9.4.8 Feature Keys
Certain features beyond the normal capabilities of the iCOMPEL are licensed. This page allows you to view currently
installed feature keys and to add new feature keys.
The Licensing tab shows a summary of all installed feature keys, while the Status tab shows all currently licensed
features.
The Add License tab allows you to add new feature keys.
NOTE: The iCOMPEL must be rebooted for newly installed features to become available.
9.4.9 Player Local Information
Overview
This page allows meta-data to be added, deleted or modified. This meta-data is contained in Player Local Information items
which are used by the following features:
Conditional Play: the meta-data can be used to control which Playlist items or Schedules play.
Reporting: All player meta-data are reported to the iCOMPEL Deployment Manager when iCOMPEL
Deployment Manager reporting is enabled.
Localize HTML pages: Web pages can query the meta-data to localize their output.
Configure Digital Signage Weather Widget: The current location can be specified for the Digital Signage
Weather Widget.
Potential uses for Player Local Information
The list below illustrates how Player Local Information may be used:
The content designer can design content for a Channel and yet make each iCOMPEL/s play specific
content. For example, if a company has branches in different locations, the company can create a weather
location in ISO format and use Digital Signage Widgets to display location specific weather.
Conditional Play can be used to control the media and schedule for individual iCOMPELs with a single
Channel. For example, a chain store could create content for all stores, publish to a single site, have all
subscribers download the content and yet play content in each store based on customer profiles visiting
particular stores (using Conditional Play for Playlist items), and/or the opening hours of that store (using
Conditional Play for one or more Schedules).
