Configuring your player
For Fusion Signage to generate an Identity code, your media player must be:
Connected to the internet
Showing the correct date and time
Connecting to the internet
Wired connection – if your network switch uses DHCP, the player should automatically connect. Confirm with your network administrator if manual settings are required.
WiFi connection:
Use the Fusion Signage app to access WiFi Settings.
Select the correct SSID and enter your password.
The player should connect to the internet.
Handy tip – if network issues occur, try connecting to your mobile device’s WiFi hotspot to test connectivity without network restrictions.
Important security note – Fusion Signage Android players only support WPA2 Wi-Fi security protocols.
WPA3-only networks are not supported.
Mixed WPA2/WPA3 (transition mode) networks are also incompatible.
Setting the date and time
Fusion Signage uses security certificates that rely on accurate device date and time.
Verify the date and time on the Fusion Signage app screen.
To set or adjust, go to Settings > Date/Time Settings and select the correct date, time, and timezone for your location.
Touchscreen devices
By default, the Fusion Signage menu will appear when the screen or remote is touched.
To prevent accidental menu access, enable 'Menu Secure Access' in the player settings.
When enabled, the menu can only be accessed by touching the screen 5 times quickly.
