   Warning

Add Network Properties

Network properties are typically non-visual settings that include screen burn time, player credentials, or software update configurations. Network properties listed and defined at each level of the network will be applied to all players within the network as well as any of its sub-networks.

1. Select the desired network, and click the Properties tab.

   
   
   

2. Click the ADD button to add a new network property for this network node. You should see a new row appear that allows you to enter the Property and Value of this entry. When finished, click the Save icon.

   
   
   

   Note

   • You can also edit any existing property by clicking the property row.
   • All players in this network and its sub-networks will inherit these properties.
