1 Product Overview

Positioning

LynxSignage runs on the signage terminal: the device drives a large HDMI screen showing columns and numbers full-screen, fitting store queues, counter pickup and material calls. Daily editing happens in a browser — the canvas is what the screen gets, and every change auto-saves and pushes to the screen.

Nothing depends on the cloud: layout, columns, numbers, backgrounds and fonts all live on the device; day-to-day editing is best done by store or lobby administrators, while upgrades and troubleshooting can involve general technical staff.

Prerequisites and Document Conventions

• The terminal is connected to the monitor over HDMI with the monitor's input source on the matching port.
• The device is on the LAN — prefer a network cable; Wi-Fi works but wired is better for long-term operation.
• The managing computer or phone must be on the same LAN as the device.
• To configure Wi-Fi directly on the device screen, prepare a USB keyboard; connect a USB mouse when pointer input is needed.
• First-time use requires creating an account; if the supplier already initialized the device before delivery, log in with the delivered account.
• 「」 marks on-screen buttons, menus or options; "screen" means the large display connected over HDMI; "canvas" means the editing area in the browser; 192.168.1.50 is a sample address only — replace it with the device's actual IP.

Login, Sessions and Logout

Opening the management address while logged out redirects to the login page. After logging in, the browser keeps the session for 7 days by default; continued use extends it automatically.

One account can be logged in on several computers and phones, each browser independent. The current version is single-account — no roles, permission groups or audit interface.

Click "Account" → "Log out" to exit manually; re-entering the username and password is required afterwards.

Changing and Recovering Passwords

1. Click "Account" at the top right.
2. Choose "Change Password".
3. Enter the current password and a new one (at least 6 characters).
4. Submit — the new password takes effect immediately.

Changing the password does not force other logged-in browsers offline. If you signed in on a public computer, also log out in that browser.

There is no web-based self-service recovery. When the password is lost, contact the supplier to reset the account — only the login account is affected; columns, numbers, backgrounds and fonts stay intact.

The Boundaries of Single-Account Mode

• Every logged-in user has identical editing rights — layout changes, column deletion, clearing data.
• Do not share the account password with unrelated people.
• With several users, agree on "whoever edits owns the change" to avoid two people dragging the same column.
• For role-based management or multi-user auditing, ask the supplier about future versions.

Access Security Recommendations

• Use the management page only inside a trusted LAN; never map port 8080 to the public internet.
• Restrict the management subnet on the router, or allow only the store/lobby LAN.
• Use a sufficiently long password — not birthdays, store names or 123456.
• Keep the device in a controlled area, away from idle hands on the network, USB and power ports.
• Keep local copies of important assets instead of leaving them only on the device.
