Configuring your player’s WiFi network by editing the SETTINGS.TXT file

Step-by-step procedure

To follow this guide, you will need an SD card reader (check some examples). You can get one from your local tech store if you do not have one.

First things first

First, in the Yodeck Portal Screen Settings, add your wireless network’s WiFi credentials to the Yodeck Portal. Screens->Network and click Save.

Editing the SETTINGS.TXT file

1. Power off the player and remove the SD card from it.
2. Use an SD card reader, place the SD card on your Laptop or PC and open the SETTINGS.TXT file.
   • This file is located in the first partition of the SD card.
   • 💡Ignore any pop-up messages. Find the SETTINGS.TXT file that resides in the first boot partition.
3. Edit the SETTINGS.TXT file and add the same Wireless credentials in the relative field.
   • In the ssid, type the WiFi Network Name
   • In the key, type the WiFi Key
   • In the mode, type one of the following
     • WPA –> For WPA/WPA2
     • WEP –. For WEP
     • WPA–EAP –> For EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
     • Leave it Blank –> If the wireless network doesn’t require a password

Completing the procedure

1. Place the SD card back into the Yodeck Player and plug in the power cable.
2. After powering on the player, a blinking message “Configuring ” will display at the bottom right of your screen.
   • Please do not unplug or reboot the player at this stage.
   • This might take up to 5 minutes.
   • The player should connect to your wireless network without issues if the WiFi credentials are correct.
3. Try to make some content changes to ensure the player responds via your wireless network to the new pushed content.
