When you are on your network and looking at your individual players you will notice that you are able to change settings such as Health and Content Check frequencies and whether you have the Automatic Reboot turned on or off.

The ability to change these settings on a per player basis is good if you just have a handful of registered players on your network, however, if you have lots of players and you want all of them to have the same network settings, then you can do this with the Global Network Settings feature.

 

How do I find the Global Network Settings feature?

If you would like to apply the same network settings to all of your players then you can do this by following these steps:

  1. Firstly make sure you are logged into the network that you'd like to change the network settings for.
  2. When logged into your desired network, click on the Network menu and from the drop-down select Manage.Network_Manage.jpg
  3. You will now be shown the Network Manager of your network and will see all of your registered players.
  4. Please now click on the button Global Network Settings near the top of the manager.Global_Network.jpg

How do I edit my Global Network Settings?

Now that you've managed to find the feature and have clicked on the Global Network Settings button, you will now be presented with a Network Settings window prompt. On this prompt you will find the ability to change:

Content Check

The Content Check setting allows you to set how frequently all of your players will check for new content deployments. These can be set to happen at scheduled intervals throughout the day, alternatively to happen once a day at a specific time e.g. 19:00. You are also able to choose if you would like to synchronise RSS feeds every minute.

Health Check

The Health Check setting allows you to set how frequently you wish for your players to do a health check to our servers, these can be set every to happen at scheduled intervals throughout the day. A Health Check is a way of your player telling us that the player is working and communicating with us.

Reboot

The Reboot setting allows you to set whether you would like the automatic reboot feature turned on or off for all players on your Signagelive network.

Download Image

The Download Image setting is only relevant if you are using an “Instorescreen” device. With Instorescreen devices you are able to specify an image that will show throughout any download duration. By checking this box and selecting an image you are able to choose the image for all Instore devices on your network.

Once you’ve selected all of the options you can just click save, and you will get a confirmation message letting you know that your Global Network Settings have saved successfully.
