Assigning an EverAlert Dynamic Display to the inCloud Portal

There are two simple ways to provision the displays to connect to the management portal. Option 1 uses a wired LAN ethernet cable on a DHCP enabled network with internet access. Option 2 uses a USB key that is created from the management portal and contains the encrypted Wi-Fi credentials for connecting the device to your network and Site.
Position the display in the desired orientation (landscape or portrait) before beginning the provisioning process. Once the display is provisioned, it will be locked into this orientation.
NOTE: If you will be using a Wi-Fi connection for your display and have not already created a security key on the inCloud Management Portal, please reference your welcome e-mail for instructions on generating a security key.

1. Option 1 – Configuration using wired LAN on a DHCP Network All displays have been preconfigured to a specific Site using their MAC address.
   A. Make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged into the display (if using the Dynamic Display PoE Kit, use the Ethernet patch cable from the PoE Splitter).
   B. Go to Step 3.

2. Option 2 – Configuration using USB Key
   A. Login to https://incloud.american-time.com
   B. If you have more than one site established, select the Site on which the new display(s) will be installed. Note that displays are assigned to a specific site by American Time and cannot be installed to a different site.
   C. In the side menu, click Admin. In the dropdown, click on EverAlert Configs, followed by Default Config.
   D. Make sure the desired wireless credentials have been entered. If they are blank and the intention is to use a Wi-Fi network to connect, enter them now and click Save Only.
   E. Click Create Key. The encrypted file will download to your computer.
   F. Go to the default download location on your computer and copy the SecurityKey.txt file to a USB flash drive. Note: If this process has been done before on your computer, there might be more than one security file in this directory with a number suffix like SecurityKey(1).txt. Be sure to identify the correct file and rename it to SecurityKey.txt if it is numbered.

3.  ower up the display by plugging into an AC wall receptacle. (If using the Dynamic Display PoE Kit, connect the DC power cable to the power jack on the back of the Display; if using Battery Backup, see kit instructions.)

4. If using wired Ethernet, skip to Step 8.

5.  Once the Display has fully loaded, the screen will display the provisioning screen that says Plug in your Security Key.

6. Insert the USB flash drive with security key into one of the two USB ports on the bottom of the EverAlert Display. Once the key is read, the screen will show Security Key Found and update the Wi-Fi credentials on the display and connect to the Portal.

7. After the device has established an internet connection, it will connect to inCloud and download any necessary updates.

8. Once updates are complete, the display will load its predefined default clock layout and the display is ready for use.
