Initial Setup
DS-1
- Ensure the product is connected according to the recommended diagram and ready for use
- Ensure the product is either connected to a wired network or will have access to a wireless network
- If you are going to set up the product with the AD+Sign app for iOS or Android, ensure this is downloaded on your mobile device.
- Ensure this device has access to the same IP network as the DS-1 will be connected to.
- Power your connected display or TV and select the correct video input
- With the DS-1 powered off, you will likely see a 'No Signal' warning on the display - this is normal.
- Power the DS-1 and wait for the product to fully load, observing the status on your connected display. When ready, the DS-1 will ask you to set up the device using either the AD+Sign app or a mouse and keyboard.
The first boot of a brand new DS-1 may take up to 2 minutes to fully initialise and configure runtime data. You may see a blank screen during this time.
If you are using an Ethernet wired network and you're not using a static IP address, the DS-1’s IP address will be shown. If you are expecting a DHCP-allocated IP here and do not see one refer to Troubleshooting.
If you are using WiFi, or the network has no DHCP server, you will see a message indicating that the DS-1 is not connected to the network yet. This is normal.
