You need: a TV with a free HDMI port, the AnySign dongle, its power lead, and wifi (or the venue’s network details). Your organization and your sign-in are set up when the hardware is provisioned — if you don’t have a sign-in yet, ask the colleague who administers AnySign to invite you from the Team page.
Plug in the dongle
Put the dongle in the TV’s HDMI port and connect its power. Switch the TV to that HDMI input. The dongle starts on its own and, once it reaches the network, the TV shows a short pairing code.
The code is how a brand-new screen proves it is the one in front of you — a dongle that nobody has claimed shows nothing else and can do nothing else.
Claim it in the console
Sign in to the console, open the Fleet section, and choose to claim a screen. Type the code exactly as the TV shows it, and give the screen a name you’ll recognize later — “Front window”, “Gym entrance”, the name of the branch.
The moment the claim goes through, the code on the TV disappears and the screen belongs to your organization.
Give it something to show
Open the Content section, upload an image or a video, and assign it to your new screen — either directly or as part of a playlist (see Media and playlists).
Within about 20 seconds the screen picks up the change, downloads the files, and starts playing. The fleet page shows it move to “up to date” once the content is actually on the wall.
Check the wall
From the screen’s page, request a screenshot. What comes back is a photo of the panel’s actual output — the proof that what you published is what a customer standing in front of the TV sees.
After setup
The dongle needs nothing from you. It survives power cuts and TV restarts, keeps playing through network outages from its own local copy, and updates itself. If a screen ever does go dark, the console notices it stopped checking in — see Screens and health.
