What is ‘Screen Identification Number’ and
what do I do with it? |
| The ‘Screen Identification Number’
is used to identify your screen and treat it as a unique
point of display. The doPublicity DigiSignware software uses
this information to get the correct content and schedule for
your screen, every time it connects to the server.
The first time you setup the doPublicity
Plug N Play Player (you will need a keyboard / mouse) it
will ask you to provide this information. Once you save the
‘Screen Identification Number’, you have no need for
the keyboard or mouse to operate the player. You may then
remove the keyboard / mouse and operate the player using the
ON / OFF button. |
