CONNECTING AND OPERATING
THE DIGITAL SIGNAGE CREATOR
Administration > Media Sources > Basic > Media Sources
Allows confi guration of media sources. Both the Primary Source and the
Fallback Source can use Local Storage (e.g. USB drive, etc) or Network Storage.
It is recommended to set up a Fallback Source when using the Digital Signage
Creator to prevent any possible interruption when accessing the content on the
primary source.
Confi guring a USB Drive with the Digital Signage Creator
1. Make sure that the Primary source is set to “Local Storage”.
2. Check the Set Local Storage to USB storage device when available
check box.
3. Press Apply.
4. Insert the USB storage device into the USB connector on the Digital Signage
Creator. Wait a few seconds and then press the Reload button. The page
should indicate that the local storage is currently set to USB storage.
By default USB storage devices are formatted using the FAT fi le system. This
has the advantage that the USB storage is readable both by the Digital Signage
Creator and any PC. However such a USB device can only be used for reading
mode by the Digital Signage Creator. If you need to use the USB storage
permanently, you might want the Digital Signage Creator to be able to write to the
USB device. To do so, the USB must be formatted by the Digital Signage Creator.
