To learn how to correctly format your USB flash drive follow along with this guide here.
After choosing your configurations and selecting the connection types, select the Advanced tab. Next, select Certificate and import your Root Certificate.
After you've imported your Root Certificate and you're happy with the Network configurations, select the Generate Configuration button at the bottom of the page to output your configuration file.
Once the file downloads, move it to the root folder of your USB flash drive and save the file to the root directory of your USB flash drive.
The file copied to the USB flash drive must be named scosprov.json. If you download numerous copies such as scosprov(1).json please be sure to remove the numbers as your Station P1 will not recognize the file.
If you are using a firewall, please refer to this link to learn how to whitelist the domains that ScreenCloud needs for it to work.
Next, provision your ScreenCloud OS device by inserting the USB provisioning flash drive into one of the USB slots in the device. Your ScreenCloud OS device will automatically start the provisioning process by setting up your network configuration and self-signed Root Certificates, as well as checking to see if there is a new version of ScreenCloud OS available; If there is, your ScreenCloud OS device will download it and update itself. This process should not take you more than a few minutes.
Once your device boots up, go ahead and pair your screen to your ScreenCloud account. Next, select Links and input your link in an HTTPS format.
Next set the content to your ScreenCloud OS device. The link should now be displayed on your screen.
You can update the ScreenCloud OS's certificate in the future by selecting it's Screen RDM tools and clicking Setting > Trusted sites certificate.
If you’re still having trouble getting your restricted link to display on your ScreenCloud OS device, we recommend checking back in with your IT or network admin team. They may need to recreate the root certificate, review the network settings in place, and follow the steps in this article again to ensure everything is set up correctly. If you’d like, our ScreenCloud Support team is always here to help guide you on how to identify what might be blocking the connection — just keep in mind that since we don’t manage your organization’s network, there’s a limit to the help we can provide for internal network configurations.
