==== Step 3: Configure the Network and Enable Developer Mode ==== See Step 4: If the device needs to be on Wi-Fi, this will be done directly via the interface.

Otherwise, plug in an Ethernet cable, and the connection will automatically be made to the network.

==== Step 5: Select "Zebrix Signage" as the Default Application ====

Click on the “BootApp” application from the device interface via screencopy {{ :fr:bootappzebrix.png?600 |}}

Choose “zebrix signage” as the default application {{ :fr:bootapp.png?600 |}}

Go to the device's applications and uninstall EPDApp (manufacturer’s recommendation for commercial use)

Finally, return to the list of applications and launch the “zebrix signage” app {{ :fr:bootapp2selectzebrix.png?600 |}}
