--- title: Edit Network Settings slug: manage/edit-network-settings docTags: createdAt: 2025-03-11T06:58:09.585Z --- :::hint{type="warning"} This page / section pertains to BrightSign Author, our latest app for authoring and managing content and players. For the legacy BrightAuthor Classic app, refer to our [Legacy Docs](docId\:i5zF53DX56wdWDFHlRot1). ::: This page outlines how to edit a player's Network settings. If you're using BrightSign Cloud, you can update the network settings of players remotely through the BrightSign Author **Network** **Settings**. If you're using another Publishing Mode and are not connected to BrightSign Cloud, you must write your Setup Files to the local storage of the player either through the Local DWS or by copying the files onto your player. # Edit with BrightSign Cloud You can use BrightSign Author to edit the Network settings of players connected to BrightSign Cloud: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem In BrightSign Author, sign in to BrightSign Cloud by selecting **Connect to BSN.Cloud **and entering your credentials. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Go to the **Network** tab and select the player(s) ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the panel on the right, select **Network** **Settings** where you can change various player settings. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/0prk6SO2dy9LdU77jB8D1/e3D4MA_lIUNtXuKfDw5Si_screenshot-2025-02-24-at-84220-am.png "Image 1") ::: :::: # Edit Without BrightSign Cloud There are two ways to change your network settings if you are not connected to BrightSign Cloud. The first is to send them to your player through the Local Diagnostic Web Server (LDWS), the second is by attaching the Setup Files to a presentation and publishing the presentation to your player. These methods are described below. ## Via the LDWS If you have the LDWS enabled, you can edit Network settings by writing Setup Files to the player over the local network: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Through **Admin > Setup**, save the Setup Files to a folder on your computer. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Download the [autozip.zip](https://www.brightsignnetwork.com/download/Tools/autozip.zip) file on to your computer and unzip it. Inside you’ll find the *autozip.brs *file. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Copy the *autozip*.*brs* file to the folder containing the Setup File from step 1, so the folder contains the Setup and *autozip.brs*. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Zip the folder and rename it to *autorun.zip*. The Setup File must be located at the root of the autorun.zip file (that is, when you open the autorun.zip file, you should see the Setup File and folders immediately, without having to click through other subfolders). ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Transfer the *autorun.zip* file to the microSD card on the player through the DWS: - Go to the **microSD **tab. - Select **Browse **to find and the **Select** the* autorun.zip* file. - Select **Upload Files** to upload those files to the player's microSD card. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Select the trashcan next to the old *autorun.brs *file to delete it from the microSD card. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Go to the **CONTROL **tab on the DWS and select **Reboot Player**. When the player reboots, it will unpack the *autorun.zip *file, reconfigure itself, and reboot again. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem The current presentation(s) on the microSD card will be erased, so republish them to the player. ::: :::: ## Via a Presentation If you can’t use the DWS or BrightSign Cloud, you can send Network files to your player by attaching the Setup File to a presentation and publishing it to a player: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Follow steps 1-8 above to create an *autorun.zip *file containing the Setup File. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Open BrightSign Author and create a new presentation. The presentation content is not important since it will not be played. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Go to** Presentation Settings > Support Content **in the right pane, as shown in Image 2. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/0prk6SO2dy9LdU77jB8D1/zzDPwUmZcC3m5v8BK_mgH_screenshot-2025-03-11-at-75421-am.png "Image 2") ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click the plus icon to add a** Script Plugin** and toggle the carrot to reveal the plugin parameters. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Select the *setup\_plugin.brs* file. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Specify the plugin **Name** as “setup”. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Go to **Presentation Settings > Files **window and select the plus sign to add a file. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Find and select the *autorun.zip* file. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Publish the presentation. ::: :::: When the player receives the presentation, it will reboot, unpack the *autorun.zip *file, reconfigure itself, and reboot again. The current presentation(s) on the microSD card will be erased, so you will need to republish them to the player.
