Managing Droid-1 (Android)

Installation

Before starting these setup instructions, go here for more Android information and installation instructions.

The TelemetryTV Droid-1 device already has the agent installed so you can skip the setup completely.

Third party android device issues are not supported by TelemetryTV. Such devices need to be certified through our Certified Devices Program.

Device Setup

Plug in your device and on initial boot you are greeted with the TelemetryTV Welcome screen:

To connect to the network you can do one of the following methods:

• Use a Provisioning USB stick to automatically connect to a WiFi network.
• Manually connect to a WiFi network on your device.
• Set up using an Ethernet cable.

Using a USB Provisioning Stick

If you are using this method, go to the Provisioning instructions first to understand how it works.

1. Download the provisioning file directly.
2. Place the provisioning file in the root directory of the USB drive, make sure there are no other files on the USB and that the USB is FAT32 formatted.
3. Insert your USB while on the initial boot screen.
4. The device connects to the WiFi network if the WiFi configuration is set in the provisioning file.
5. Otherwise connect to a WiFi network manually or insert an Ethernet cable.

5. Once connected to a network and setup completes, it switches applications to our media player to play your playlist if the playlist is already set in the provisioning file. If a playlist is not in the provisioning file then you are taken to the Pairing Code page.
