If your Place & Play device is not responding, however, this may mean that the battery has been depleted. About 20 minutes of charge time via the enclosed USB cable should do the trick.

2. CREATE#

Once your device has been successfully configured for the Place & Play CMS it will show a PIN code. It may take up to 15 minutes for the code to show up after successful configuration. You can now start creating by following the Getting started with Place & Play CMS. The full guide is available here.

Alternatively, you can integrate your interactive apps or a 3rd party CMS with the Visionect Software Suite, our device management and content delivery platform. The VSS is in charge of all the operational aspects of running electronic paper signage and requires a more technical approach than the Place & Play CMS. Follow these instructions to use it.
