Device Webpage
The Signature Pad has a Webinterface where you can upload documents or change the settings from the device. The device address is shown on the signature device screen after startup. If your device is already configured with promoscreens or a promovideo you will see this screen only in the first 30sec after device start. If you missed the screen, just unplug the USB cable and reconnect it again.
Open the address which you see on the device with your browser to open the device webinterface.
