Device Management

eScreenz™ makes adding new displays to your dashboard a simple process.

Install and Register a Digital Sign

To install a digital sign, follow this process on the device you wish to install eScreenz™ on:

 

  1. In the eScreenz menu, click “Download eScreenz™”
  2. Click “Download Digital Signage Installer”
  3. On the device, step through the installer to install eScreenz
  4. Once the installation has completed, eScreenz™ should launch.  If it does not, double click on the tray icon to launch it manually.
  5. You will be prompted with a 5-digit code.  Log into your eScreenz™ dashboard and enter the code to pair the device to your dashboard.  You can do this in two ways:
    • Scan the QR code that displays with a mobile device to begin the registration process
    • Log into the dashboard manually, select “Devices” from the left menu, then click “Register Device”


       
  6. On the Device Registration page, enter the following:
    • Registration Code – The 5-digit code on your eScreenz™ display
    • Device Name – A friendly name for the device as it will appear on the dashboard
    • Device Description – An optional description for the device
    • Assigned App – Which eScreenz app should be displayed on the device
  7. Click the “Register” button; published content from the app should shortly begin being displayed on eScreenz™.
     

Changing the Assigned App

Once a device is registered, you can change the assigned app and any of its other properties by clicking the “Edit” button next to that device.

Pairing a Device to a Different Dashboard

If you need to change the device registration and pair the device to another dashboard, right click on the tray icon and click “Register Device”:

(note: This option will not appear if the device is configured to receive a “Screensaver” type app from the dashboard.  If the device is already registered to your dashboard, change its assigned app to a “Digital Sign” type app).

In the dialog that appears, click “Yes”.

If the device is a new device created from the image of an older device, check the “Reset Device ID” checkbox- this will update the configuration to ensure that this device is treated independently from other devices created from the same image.

Follow the registration process as if you were initially pairing the device to your dashboard.
