DAKboard OS devices utilize a unique display URL, giving them the ability to quickly and easily change the screen being shown on your DAKboard display. Display articles are automatically set on all new devices, this article discusses their use and how to deploy them if not in place on your device.
IMPORTANT:
These steps are only to be used once you have completed the initial setup of your Display and should only be done when instructed to do so by a Support Desk engineer or by our AI assistant. If this is the first time you are setting up your display, please use one of the following articles to assist you with setting up your Display:
Setup - DAKboard Wall/Mirror Display
Setup - DAKboard CPU/Micro SD Card
Add the Display URL to a DAKboard Display:
In your DAKboard account, click on Displays & Devices, then click the three dots next to the desired display and select Settings:
Next, highlight and copy the Display URL field (or click the copy button next to the Display URL field):
Then, click View Device Settings:
NOTE: The View Device Settings button will work if your DAKboard OS device has been successfully registered to your account, you are using a device that is on the same WiFi or Ethernet network as the DAKboard OS device, and your device is not offline. If your Display failed to register when you set it up, see our article How to Register Your DAKboard OS Device to learn how to correct this. If you are connecting to it from a different network, you will need to connect to the same network. If your Display is currently offline, you will have to use one of the options mentioned above in this article to access the page.
Scroll down and paste your copied URL into the DAKboard Private URL text field:
Click Save Changes and when complete, restart your device by unplugging the power and plugging the power back in.
Your device will now start up and begin showing the screen marked as Default in the Screens section.
