How do I Connect Ceeno Signage Player to a Wireless Router
One of the many benefits of the Mvix Ceeno is its ability to be used wirelessly. What this means is that your Ceeno Signage Player can connect to the internet (using a WiFi bridge) without having to be attached to your router. There are a variety of advantages to using the Mvix Ceeno wirelessly. First, you don't have to run an Ethernet cable all the way to your Ceeno. This gives you a high degree of flexibility when determining placement of the device, as you are no longer constrained by cable lengths. When using the WiFi bridge, you can place your Ceeno anywhere you receive a wireless internet signal. Less cables means less clutter and more space for your other needs.
Items Required
With the addition of the WiFi bridge, Mvix Ceeno can be used in a wireless configuration. The WiFi bridge is a wireless accessory that connects to your Ceeno and allows it to communicate with your wireless router. The bridge has four ports and can support up to four different Ceeno devices if desired. The following article will show you how to configure your Ceeno Signage Player to this bridge, and successfully connect to the internet. Below is a diagram outlining how the WiFi bridge and Mvix Ceeno interact with a network.
Once the devices are connected, we must then program the wireless bridge from the setup menu from within the Ceeno. To do so, first power on both the bridge and the Ceeno. If media is currently playing, press the "Stop" key to halt playback, and then press "Main Menu". You will be prompted with the screen below:
First, we have to enter the SSID – the name of your wireless network. This can be typed in by selecting the "Keyboard" button located on the remote. A virtual keyboard will then open. Use the cursor keys to choose a letter and then press "Enter" to select it. Use "0" as a backspace when needed. Repeat this until the necessary letters have been typed. Press the "Keyboard" button once more to close it.
Next, move down and highlight "Channel". If you know your individual channel, move the cursor left/right to select it (consult your router's manual to determine this). If you are unsure, select "Auto".
Next, highlight "Authentication" and move the cursor left/right to choose the correct setting. If your router is an open network and uses no password, select "disable". Otherwise, choose either WEP, WPA, or WPA2 authentication. Note: This information can be determined by looking at 'network settings' on your computer.
Move down one and select "Key Type". If you selected WPA or WPA2 authentication above, no changes are necessary, as you will automatically have "ASCII" selected. If you chose "WEP", you'll need to move left/right with the cursor to select ASCII or HEX depending on the type of key your network uses.
Next, move down to "Key Size" / "Cipherze". If you use WPA or WPA2 authentication, you can ignore the "Cipherze" field underneath "Key Type". If you use WEP authentication, however, you must choose "64 bit" or "128 bit" for the "Key Size" field.
Lastly, we must enter in the wireless key – this is the password for your network. Just as we did with "SSID", we will again hit "Keyboard" on the remote to bring up a virtual keyboard. Use the cursor to type in the correct wireless key. Hit "Keyboard" once more to close it.
