BREEZE SERVER COMMUNICATION 

A player’s registration is the method by which a 

Breeze

 

Player

 connects to a 

Breeze

 server.    A player must be 

registered to a server and connected to the Internet to receive updates from the server.   

Players are typically pre-registered in the 

Keywest Technology Production

 department before shipping.  

However, a player must be registered again if it is accidentally deleted from the 

Breeze

 server in the 

Players

 tool.  

When a player is unregistered, the registration tool opens when the 

Breeze

 

Player

 application is started. 

The first three fields, 

Name

Username

, and 

Password

, are fairly simple concepts.  The 

Domain

Screen

 

Width

and 

Screen

 

Height

 fields require technical information a user is advised to locate before registering a player. 

The 

Domain

 field requires the sub-domain of the

 Breeze

 server.  A 

Breeze

 server with a web address of 

https://training.breezedigitalsignage.com

 

has  a  subdomain  of  “training.”    A  user  should  type  “training”  in  the 

Domain

 field of the 

Breeze

 

Player

 registration tool.
