Requirements

• A BrightSign Control Cloud account. This is a free service provided with BrightSign hardware that allows you to provision Enplug's software directly to a supported device.
• A supported BrightSign device: XT1143, XT1144, XT243, and XT244.
• If using a wireless Internet connection, you’ll need to attach the included antenna to the back of your device.

Notes:

• When creating a Brightsign cloud account it is recommended that a neutral email address not tied to an employee be used. 
• The HD series of BrightSign devices aren’t supported.
• If your Brightsign device was previously used with a different platform, a factory reset is required before provisioning for Enplug.

Provisioning Hardware Without a BSN Account

If you don’t have a BrightSign Control Cloud account, you’ll first need to format your SD card and add the Enplug autorun file (attached at the bottom of this page). Without the Brightsign account, you won’t be able to remotely manage devices and support will be limited.

To provision your hardware:

1. Connect an HDMI cable from your player to a screen.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable and power supply to the player.
3. Insert a blank SD card.
4. Your player will power on and go through its boot process. After this, the Enplug activation process will begin.

Activate the Device on Enplug

Once you see the Enplug two-word Setup Phrase, connect the player to your Enplug Account.
