Landing Page Wifi

To ensure the landing page loads correctly, the following requirement apply:

  • A Wi-Fi router (or equivalent infrastructure) that allows you to set a URL as a landing page, without being overridden by a captive portal on Android or iOS.

Note: The information provided serves as a technical recommendation. Coordination with the responsible network technician is required for the specific implementation and configuration.


Touchscreen

For using the Guestnet web app on touchscreens, the following requirements apply:

  • Touchscreen with HDMI interface

  • Digital signage device or mini PC (see recommended hardware)

  • Stable internet connection (a LAN connection is preferable to WLAN)

  • The general Guestnet web app can be accessed directly. Adding the parameter ?infoterminal=1 activates additional functions.

You can find more information here:
How to activate the display on touchscreens


Infoscreen

To set up a Guestnet infoscreen, you'll need:

  • Monitor or TV with HDMI input

  • Internet connection (LAN preferred over Wi-Fi)

  • Digital signage device or mini PC (see recommended hardware)


Room TV

For in-room TV broadcasting via antenna:

  • TV (no internet connection required)

  • Digital signage device or mini PC (connected via HDMI to the modulator)

  • Modulator

  • Antenna cable

Additional notes:

  • Use only one video file to ensure uninterrupted playback

  • We recommend Full HD video files, as 4K videos may cause streaming delays depending on the connection

Digital Signage Device / Mini PC

These devices are designed for continuous operation (24/7) in the digital signage sector. They offer high stability, are suitable for kiosk mode applications, and support various resolutions.

  • Recommendation for info screens (without video):
    Model: XD236

  • Recommendation for touchscreens and info screens with video:
    Model: XD1036

BrightSign Devices – Important Notes

Device support depends on the series and firmware:

  • BrightSign Series 3 will no longer be supported from October 1, 2025

  • BrightSign Series 4 is supported but requires a firmware update

  • BrightSign Series 5 must be manually upgraded to Chromium 120 by a technician


Modulator

A modulator converts HDMI signals into a digital broadcast signal for in-room TVs via antenna distribution.

  • Two common formats:
    SD MPEG-2 (older TVs) and HD MPEG-4 (newer TVs)

  • The correct modulator depends on the TV resolution and antenna setup.
