Link Android Device to Display Layout

When XDMB launches for the first time on a device, a share code is required to link the device to a display layout on the Xenial Cloud Portal.

A share code is a unique 5-digit code that is generated for a specific site and its device. A share code cannot be used to link devices at more than one site.

To generate a share code for a site, see Generate Share Code.

To link an Android device to an XDMB display layout:

  1. Please wait for the XDMB App to launch on the device. When the device prompts for the share code, use the remote control for the device to enter the 5-digit code.
