CONNECTING AND OPERATING

THE DIGITAL SIGNAGE CREATOR

Using A Network Server With the Digital Signage Creator

The Digital Signage Creator can use an HTTP server as the source for

multimedia content. The Digital Signage Creator will frequently check for new

or modiﬁ ed content on the server. The internal storage will be used to cache

some of the media ﬁ les from the server. If the Digital Signage Creator will be

downloading content from a network server, refer to the Content Pull Mode on

page 40.

1. On the main page of the HTTP server, click Administration > Media Sources.

The current settings will be shown in the browser.

2. Change the Primary Source to Network Project.

3. Enter the URI of the network project.

The Digital Signage Creator will open the index.svg ﬁ le in the root of the URI.

4. Press the Apply button.

Both HTTP and HTTPS servers can be used.

It is recommended that a fallback source be set up, in case the network server

cannot be reached by the Digital Signage Creator unit. See page 30.

If the server requires a username and a password, enter them using the

Advanced dialog page as described in Network credentials.
