In this article, we'll set up an Amazon Signage Stick, assign OptiSigns to it in Amazon Signage Manager and pair it with your OptiSigns account.
- Set Up the Amazon Signage Stick
- Assign OptiSigns in Amazon Signage Manager
- Pair the Stick with Your Account
- Next Steps
The Amazon Signage Stick supports OptiSigns. You don't install OptiSigns from an app store on this device. Instead, you choose OptiSigns as the content management system in Amazon Signage Manager, and Amazon installs the app for you.
Set Up the Amazon Signage Stick
Plug the Amazon Signage Stick into an HDMI port on your screen, then connect it to power.
Turn it on and follow the onscreen instructions to connect it to your network.
| NOTE |
| The Amazon Signage Stick needs internet access during its initial setup. |
When the stick is online, it shows a pairing code and asks you to log in to Amazon Signage Manager. Keep this code on screen.
Assign OptiSigns in Amazon Signage Manager
On a computer, go to Amazon Signage Manager and log in with your Amazon account.
On the Devices page, select Add Device.
Enter the pairing code shown on your screen.
Under Select your preferred Content Management System, choose OptiSigns from the list.
Select Save. The OptiSigns app downloads to your device automatically.
Amazon Signage Manager returns to the Devices page, which now lists your stick with OptiSigns as its CMS.
Rename the Device
To change the device's name, select the edit (pencil) icon in the Actions column. The DSN can't be changed, but you can edit Device Name, then select Save.
Pair the Stick with Your Account
When OptiSigns is assigned, the OptiSigns app opens on your screen and shows its own pairing code. This is a different code from the Amazon one. Keep it on screen.
- Go to app.optisigns.com and log in. If you don't have an account yet, select Create Account. You can also log in with Google, Microsoft or Facebook.
- On the Screens page, select Add Screen.
- Enter the pairing code shown on your screen in Pair code, then select Pair.
Note: Codes are case-sensitive, and the portal enters them in capitals. If the code on your screen has lowercase letters, select Use lowercase pairing code and type it exactly as shown. If pairing fails with a case error, the portal switches this on for you, so check the code and select Pair again.
The screen changes to show that it's paired.
