Page 13

Figure 2-4: Mounting Bracket Retention Screw Holes

Step 2: Align the two retention screw holes in each bracket with the corresponding

iSignager-300/300WL

retention screw holes on the sides of the bottom surface.

Step 3: Secure the brackets to the system by inserting two retention screws into each

bracket.

Figure 2-5: Mounting Bracket Retention Screws

Page 14

Step 4: Drill holes in the intended installation surface.

Step 5: Align the mounting holes in the sides of the mounting brackets with the predrilled

iSignager-300

holes in the mounting surface.

Step 6: Insert four retention screws, two in each bracket, to secure the system to the

wall. Step 0:

2.2.2 Stand Mounting

The iSignager-300 has Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) standard
mounting holes tapped into the rear panel. The stand mounting plate has a matching
VESA hole pattern. To mount the iSignager-300 onto a stand, please follow the steps
below.

Step 1: Line up the threaded holes on the iSignager-300 rear panel with the screw holes

on the stand mounting plate.

Step 2: Secure the iSignager-300 to the stand with the supplied retention screws.

Step 0:

2.2.3 Arm Mounting

The iSignager-300 is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant and can
be mounted on a VESA arm. To mount the iSignager-300 on an arm, please follow the
steps below.

Step 1: The arm is a separately purchased item. Please correctly mount the arm onto

the surface it uses as a base. To do this, refer to the inst allation documentation
that came with the mounting arm.

NOTE:

When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant. If the
mounting arm is not VESA compliant it cannot be used to support the
iSignager-300.

Page 15

Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the

iSignager-300 onto the interface pad of the mounting arm.

the left side indicates transmission activity.

A.2.2 Ping in DOS Environment or Hyper Terminal Session

A.2.2.1 PC

To check if the specific IP connection exists in the server side, check in DOS environment
of the server. In DOS environment, type “ping” followed by the LAN IP or WLAN IP, e,g.
ping 10.10.12.82. Press Enter. If the reply message is shown, the connection exists, e.g.

Reply from 10.10.12.82: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

Reply from 10.10.12.82: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

Reply from 10.10.12.82: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

A.2.2.2 iSignager-300

To check if the specific IP connection exists in the client side, check in a Hyper Terminal
session of the iSignager-300. To create a Hyper Termi nal session, please refer to Section
A.1. In Hyper Terminal session, type “ping” followed by the LAN IP or WLAN IP, e,g. ping

10.10.19.253. Press Enter. If the reply message is shown, the connection exists, e.g.

64 bytes from 10.10.19.253: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.3 ms

64 bytes from 10.10.19.253: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.7 ms

64 bytes from 10.10.19.253: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.5 ms

A.3 iSignager-300WL Series Network Behavior

The user can setup LAN and Wi-Fi settings in the iSignager-300WL Series at the same
time. However, the iSignager-300WL Series takes LAN as the first priority by default when
booting up. If the LAN is successfully activated, the iSignager-300WL Series does not
activate the Wi-Fi settings. The Wi-Fi settings are activated only when the LAN activation
process is failed. To setup the wireless connection, please refer to the iSignager
AdExpress for Frame user manual.
