Setting the Date/Time on BrightSign (HD2000 only)

BrightSign has a real time clock that can be used for scheduling content playback. In order to use BrightSign’s scheduling features, the date and time on the BrightSign must be set.

Roku has written a script that provides an interactive means for setting BrightSign’s date/time. The script is named SetDateTime.bas and is available at www.rokulabs.com/brightsign in the software download section.

Instructions for using this script:

1.Copy SetDateTime.bas onto the root directory of a CompactFlash card and rename it “autorun.bas”.

2.Connect a USB keyboard or a GPIO button board to the BrightSign.

3.Insert the CF card into the BrightSign, apply power, and after a few moments, a screen will appear with a user interface to set the date/time.

Once BrightSign’s date / time is set, the real time clock will keep it accurate even across power cycles.
