Alphanumeric code registration
You must access to the web platform https://test.tekus.co and then log in with the credentials provided by tekus.
Then, in the left menu, you must click on the orange button ➕ and select Register screen.
Now in the Register screen window, you must fill out the fields with the information we request as follows:
a. Activation code. It corresponds to the code displayed on your screen.
b. Screen name. In this field, you must assign a name to your screen or player that will help you identify its location or use. In our case, for example, we will put “Recepción”
c. Playlist. (formerly known as channel) In this field, you must select the playlist you want to broadcast on the screen you are registering. It is recommended to have the playlist created before you register the screen.
d. List of places. This is an optional field. It is used to define whether the screen belongs to a previously created place (store, office, warehouse, factory, etc.) or a new one.
e. Labels. This is an optional field. It is of great help to categorize the future search for related screens. For instance, if we have 5 screens registered, and we use the Test label on two of them, even though they have different names, searching for that label will show you both screens.
f. Select license. You must define whether you are going to register your screen with a free, demo, commercial or laboratory license. Tekus is the one who enables the license types, but in general the commercial license is used.
Now you must click to “Register”.
Immediately the registration ends, the editing screen will open, where you can modify the information defined at the beginning (name, tags, playlist, among others) or enable some settings according to your preference. As soon as you have validated that the information is correct, you must click on the Save button.
You can then click on Screens to view the device you just registered, along with the devices you have already entered before.
