Connect a player to Wi-Fi, set a static IP, join an 802.1X network, configure time servers, and use a cellular connection.
- Generate a network config Make a network.yaml file for Wi-Fi, a wired connection, 802.1X, static IP, time servers and DNS, and apply it to a ScreenlyOS player from a USB drive, without a keyboard.
- Use a cellular connection Connect a screen over 4G or 5G with a mobile router, and the data cost and hardware limits to plan around first.
- Configure time servers Screens use NTP to keep their clocks accurate. Allow ntp.ubuntu.com, or point players at a time server on your own network.
- Connect on an enterprise network Use 802.1X PEAP on a Screenly Player, on Wi-Fi or wired ethernet, including alongside a static IP.
- Set a static IP Assign a static IP address to a Screenly Player over ethernet with a keyboard, or over Wi-Fi with a network.yaml file on a USB drive.
- Connect to Wi-Fi Connect a Screenly Player to a wireless network with a USB keyboard, or with a network.yaml file on a USB drive for headless setups.
