There are two ways to provision your ScreenCloud OS device. Either via an Ethernet (LAN) connection or via a USB provisioning flash drive. To set up a wireless or advanced network set up, you have to create a provisioning USB flash drive.
​
This USB flash drive will help connect the ScreenCloud OS device to your network. You can use this USB flash drive to provision as many ScreenCloud OS devices as you like, as long as they are on the same type of connection on the same network. Simply insert the USB flash drive and voila, your device is set up.

Please note that you will need a FAT-formatted USB flash drive that does not come in the box. In case you need help formatting your USB flash drive correctly, check out our how-to article here to learn How to Create a FAT Formatted USB Flash Drive for your ScreenCloud OS Provisioning USB Flash Drive.

The following section will guide you on how to set up a Basic network. If you would like to use the advanced section, please head over to section 2.3.
​

2.1.1 First prepare a FAT formatted USB provisioning flash drive and connect it to your computer. Open a browser to type in this link:

2.1.2. You will be presented with the ScreenCloud OS configuration generator website. This is where you will provision your USB flash drive. To begin, select "Got it, Let's start!"

2.1.3. The ScreenCloud OS configuration generator has a basic section on the left and a more advanced section on the right for additional network configurations.

To begin, select whether you would like to configure your provisioning USB flash drive with a Wi-Fi connection or an Ethernet (LAN) connection.

If you selected a Wi-Fi network, go ahead and enter your Network Name (SSID). Many routers provided by internet services list the default SSID or "network Name" next to a bar code, usually on the bottom or side of the router.

Please note that if you select a Wi-Fi configuration, you have the option to hide your network SSID. To do this, go over to the Advanced section and toggle "Yes" if you would like to hide your network SSID, if not toggle "No".

2.1.4. If you select Ethernet (LAN), there is no need to enter an SSID name and password as your device will connect to the Wi-Fi automatically.

2.1.5. Next, you will need to configure your network information. Select the type of network authentication you would like to use, either a Basic or Enterprise network.

Basic Authentication uses a WPA/WPA2 personal network which functions by using a shared key or password authentication to access the network.

Enterprise Authentication uses a WPA/WPA2 enterprise network, which is another form of authentication that requires a unique password per user to connect to the network. This provides greater security and is typically used in larger businesses or universities. The benefit of using an enterprise network is that you can easily disable a user's name and password in the database if a security breach is found.

If you selected the Basic Authentication network, go ahead and enter the network password. If you selected Enterprise Authentication, please continue to step 2.2.5.

2.1.6. If you selected an Enterprise Authentication Network, you will need to fill in the Security Protocol, Identity, Password, and CA certificates.

To start, choose the Security Protocol you use by selecting TLS (Transport Layer Security) or Protected EAP (PEAP).

If you selected the TLS protocol, you will need to provide the Identity and User private key password as seen in the image below.

Next, fill in the CA certificates if you so require it. With the TLS protocol, you have the additional option of adding User certificates and a Private key.

If you selected the Protected EAP (PEAP) Protocol, you will need to provide the Identity and Password. You may also upload any CA certificates if your network requires them.

2.1.7. Next, select your time zone. This step is crucial as your time zone will determine whether or not your scheduled content will be synchronized and ensure the proper configuration of your apps.

2.1.8. After you've completed filling in your network information, 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.

Please note that 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 ScreenCloud OS device will not recognize the file.

Secondly, if you are using a firewall, please refer to the link to learn how to whitelist the domain that ScreenCloud needs for it to work.

2.1.9. Now that you are done provisioning your USB flash drive, go ahead and provision your ScreenCloud OS device. Unplug your USB flash drive from your computer and plug it into your ScreenCloud OS device.

2.1.10. Your ScreenCloud OS device will automatically start the provisioning process, setting your network configuration as well as checking to see if there is a new version of ScreenCloud OS available and if there is, it will download it and update your ScreenCloud OS device. This process should not take you more than a few minutes.

And that's it! You have successfully set up your ScreenCloud OS device. If you would like to learn how to use ScreenCloud and begin adding content to your display, check out this article on How to Use ScreenCloud for Digital Signage.

The following section will guide you on how to configure a more advanced network setup for your ScreenCloud OS device. If you would like to use the basic section, please head over to section 1.2.

2.2.1. To begin, navigate over to the right side of the ScreenCloud OS configuration Generator. Select the TCP/IP button and configure your IPv4 Method.

Then select whether you would like to use the Automatic DHCP or the Manual IPv4 method.

If you choose Manual, please enter the IP address and Gateway information as seen in the images below.

2.2.2. Next, select the DNS button and fill in your Domain Naming System address as seen in the image below.

2.2.3. If you would like to add an extra layer of privacy, the ScreenCloud Configuration Generator also offers the option to add Proxy configuration. Simply select the Proxy button and fill in the Host name and Port as seen in the image below.

2.2.4. If you would like to add NTP (Network Time Protocol) configurations, you may do so in the Advanced section. NTP is an internet protocol used to synchronize with computer clock time sources in a network.

To do this, select the NTP button in the advanced section and fill in your Network Time Protocol information. You can add multiple NTP configurations if your network requires it.

2.2.5. After you've completed filling in your network information, 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.
​

Please note, that 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 ScreenCloud OS device will not recognize the file.

Secondly, if you are using a firewall, please refer to the link to learn how to whitelist the domain that ScreenCloud needs for it to work.
​

After provisioning your USB, plug your USB flash drive into your ScreenCloud OS device. Your ScreenCloud OS device will instantly start provisioning, setting your network configuration, and scanning for a new version of ScreenCloud OS to download and update. Once completed, your device will display a unique pairing code so you can start using your device for digital signage.

If you would like use set up your device using an Ethernet DHCP (LAN) cable, you can simply insert it into your device to automatically connect to the internet. However, to set up an advanced network set up, you have to create a provisioning USB flash drive.
