Using the Diagnostic and Local Web Server
The Diagnostic Web Server gives you the ability to perform various system functions—such as rebooting the player,
changing display settings, and retrieving log files—from a web browser (see the
Diagnostic Web Server User Guide for
more details). The Local Web Server is necessary for Local File Networking. It also gives you access to the User
Variables webpage, which allows you to modify User Variables using a web browser or the BrightSign App. Both features
are enabled during the
player setup process.
Follow these steps to connect to the Diagnostic Web Server and User Variables page using a web browser:
Note: Your PC or mobile device must be connected to the same local network as the BrightSign player.
1. Power off the BrightSign player.
2. Remove the SD card and USB drive (if applicable).
3. Power on the player and wait several minutes. The IP address of the player, along with the serial number and
firmware version, will appear on the display.
4. To access the Diagnostic Web Server, enter the displayed IP address into the address bar of the browser on your
PC or mobile device (for example, “10.0.1.199”). To access the User Variables web page, enter the displayed IP
address plus port 8008 (for example, “10.0.1.199:8008”).
5. Enter your user name and password (if applicable).
