Registering a networked display The following describes how to add a display with Network (Ethernet) communication. 1. Click Search on the toolbar. The Signage Monitor Search dialog appears. 2. Specify a Search Method in the Signage Monitor Search dialog. There are two search methods: ● Search Network for all Displays (DHCP)--Automatically searches display(s) on the same local network to which the media player/computer running HP Network Sign Manager is connected. ● Search Network with Display IP Address-An IP address for the display needs to be entered manually to search for it and add it to the HP Network Sign Manager register window list. Displays connected to the external network can also be searched for and added. NOTE: Sharing the same network means using the same default gateway and subnet host. 3.
