This article describes how to configure the OMNIplay app on a DS13 doorsign device.
Setting up your Databeat DS13 Doorsign device.
To complete the setup, you will need a power and network connection, and configure the correct time zone and time and date settings. The last step will be to add your license key for the device, telling it what to do based on what you have selected in DatabeatOMNI.
Step 1: Before you begin
- Inspect. First, check for damage to the packaging. Take a picture of the packaging before unpacking if you suspect any damage.
- Unpack. Carefully unpack the display and check it for any physical damage. Take pictures of the screen and report damages immediately.
- Mount. The screen must be mounted properly for the ventilation to work. The warranty may be broken and invalid if mounted incorrectly. We recommend checking the device manual for instructions, to avoid breaking warranty requirements.
Please contact your reseller or administrator if you have any issues.
The DS13 supports POE (Power-over-ethernet) giving both power and internet in one cable, but you can always setup with the included power adapter, and get internet via Wi-Fi or a cabled connection.
The Databeat OMNIplay app is already installed and will start up automatically. To get your content on display, you only need to configure some settings first and add the license key.
Step 2: Configure the device

If you have a POE/ethernet/cabled internet connection then skip to step 6.
2. Select Network & Internet
3. Select Wi-Fi and turn it ON

If you by mistake closed the settings or shut down the OMNIplay app, you can manually start the OMNIplay app from the Android Home Screen by swiping up and selecting OMNIplay.
6. Swipe down in the Device Settings menu, and select System
7. Select Date & time and confirm that these settings automatic and correct for the location.
