BrightSign: Enable Local DWS Access

With BrightSign firmware 9.0.218+ and 9.1.75+, the DWS is disabled by default. To enable it, use BrightAuthor:connected or a local BrightScript. We have created a quick BrightScript, which will enable local DWS on the device.

Enabling via a script​

  1. Download the dws_enable_autorun.brs via this link
  2. Rename the file to autorun.brs
  3. Put the file into the root directory of the device's SD card
  4. Reboot the device
  5. The script will enable DWS on the device with the default credentials admin:<serial_number>.
  6. When DWS is enabled, the device will show login details on the screen.
  7. You can now access the DWS via http://<device_ip>:80
  8. Finally, you can delete the autorun.brs and dws_status.html files from the SD card of the device.
