CHAPTER 8 – MANAGING YOUR NETWORK
You can manage your BrightSign and Local networks through BrightAuthor.
Permissions
Administrators of BrightSign Network accounts can create separate accounts with access to their BrightSign Network.
These accounts (called User Accounts) can be assigned to roles with various sets of permissions in both the web user
interface and BrightAuthor.
When you sign in to BrightSign Network in BrightAuthor, access to features of BrightAuthor will depend on permissions
that were determined by the Account Administrator. Regardless of permissions, BrightAuthor appears the same to all
users. However, attempting to use blocked features will result in an error message. If you are an Account Administrator
and want to change a User Account’s permissions in BrightAuthor, this must be done through the web UI.
Viewing unit statuses
In BrightAuthor, you can view the status of all units on your BrightSign Network or Local Network.
Local Network – Viewing unit status on your Local Network lets you view all units and their info, view active presentations
for units, specify a username and password for units, and remove units from the network.
1. Sign in to BrightSign Network by clicking Tools > Sign in to BrightSign Network.
2. Click the Manage tab.
3. Click Local Network (below the Manage tab). Here, a list of all units on the Local Network is displayed. The list
contains all unit names, descriptions, uptimes, and current active presentations.
4. Right-click a unit to: Remove the unit, Show all units, Specify a username and password, and view Info.
Clicking Info opens the Unit Properties window. Here, you can view the unit ID, its IP address, BrightSign model,
firmware version, and autorun version.
