Pull Mode can be used bidirectionally to:
• Automatically publish fi les to the Digital Signage Creator.
Each time the Digital Signage Creator has been scheduled to update the
content of its local storage, it will connect to the specifi ed server, check for
changes, and download all modifi ed fi les.
• Upload logs and previews to a remote WebDAV server.
Pull Mode can be used with a WebDAV server or with standard HTTP servers.
When using HTTP servers, the XML fi les describing the content of the server
must be available. Pull Mode timings can be confi gured either directly from the
HTTP interface or using iCalendar fi les.
There are two ways to confi gure the Pull mode on a Digital Signage Creator unit:
• Using the simple HTTP interface. This option is easy to confi gure, but has
some limitations. For example, it forces daily project publishing at specifi c
times. Moreover, the options for uploading logs are limited.
• Using iCalendar schedule fi les: Provides full control over the Pull mode of
the Digital Signage Creator, but requires an external tool to create the iCal-
endar fi les (Mozilla Sunbird for instance).
