Step 2: Connecting to the Content Player
Wiring Diagram
Connect an Ethernet network cable directly from the LED out port of the
controller to the first LED display frame. There should not be any router or
switch between the player and the screen. Additionally, connect the network
antenna to improve the range of
the Wi-Fi connection.
Connection to the Player’s Wi-Fi Access Point
During this process, ensure that your device remains connected to the player’s Wi-Fi network.
- Go to the settings screen.
- Select Wi-Fi configuration.
- Check the list of available Wi-Fi networks and select the player’s network (APXXXXXXXXX). The Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password can be found on a sticker on the side of the player.
- Enter the player’s Wi-Fi password (12345678 by default) and connect to the network. Note that this network provides no internet access, but it is a direct connection to the LED display content player.
If your device is configured to automatically connect to known networks with an internet connection, you may need to disable this option before connecting. On iOS devices, you can set the “ASK TO LOGIN” option to “ASK” mode to prevent automatic logout. On Android devices, you can enter the configuration of your usual Wi-Fi networks and uncheck the option for automatic connection.
Step 3: Login to the Content Player
Once connected, you can log in to the content player using the Viplex Handy app.
- Start the Viplex Handy app and select “LOCAL CONTROL”.
- Make sure you are still connected to the player’s Wi-Fi network.
- Tap on “CONNECT”.
If the connection is correct, the app will detect the player on the screen as “TAURUS-XXXXXX”. If the connection is not correct, the app will not detect the controller.
