Guides & How-To

Connecting Players to ARYA Cloud

· By Media La Vista

ARYA is SpinetiX's cloud content management system for digital signage. It provides browser-based remote management of SpinetiX players — content publishing, campaign scheduling, fleet monitoring, and team collaboration. Players connect to Arya via HTTPS with certificate-based authentication. This guide covers the enrollment process from player to cloud.

When to Use This Guide

  • Multi-site deployments where players are in different buildings, cities, or countries
  • Managed service providers operating signage fleets for multiple clients
  • Teams that need multiple people managing content from different locations
  • Remote-first organizations that can't walk to every player on the local network

How to Connect a Player to ARYA

Step 1: Create an Arya Account

Sign up at spinetix.com/arya. Choose a subscription plan based on player count. Arya provides a web dashboard where you'll manage all enrolled players.

Step 2: Access the Player's Web Interface

Connect to your SpinetiX player at http://<player-IP> on the same network. Navigate to the Configuration → Cloud Management section. This is where enrollment happens.

Step 3: Enter the Enrollment Code

Arya generates a unique enrollment code for your account. Enter this code in the player's web interface. The player establishes a secure HTTPS connection to Arya's cloud servers, exchanging TLS certificates for mutual authentication.

Step 4: Verify Connection

In the Arya dashboard, the player appears with a green status indicator. You can now see its current content, firmware version, network status, and screenshot preview. The player checks in with Arya at regular intervals, maintaining a persistent management channel.

Step 5: Assign Content and Groups

Tag your player with labels (location, department, floor, client). Upload content through Arya's browser interface and assign it to individual players or groups. Content pushes automatically — no manual publishing needed.

Common Mistakes

  1. Blocking outbound HTTPS on the firewall. The player needs outbound port 443 to reach Arya cloud. Many enterprise firewalls block all outbound traffic by default — add a rule for player-to-Arya communication.
  2. Not verifying enrollment completion. Always confirm the player shows green status in the Arya dashboard. A pending enrollment means the player is still running its previous local content.
  3. Ignoring proxy requirements. If your network routes through a web proxy, configure the proxy settings on the player before enrollment. Without this, the player can't reach Arya's cloud endpoints.
  4. Using Arya for air-gapped networks. Arya requires internet. For isolated networks (military, critical infrastructure), use Elementi with local network publishing instead.

Connecting Players to ARYA Cloud FAQ

Is Arya mandatory for SpinetiX players?

No. SpinetiX players work standalone with Elementi (on-premises) or from network shares. Arya is optional cloud management for teams that need remote access, campaign scheduling, and fleet dashboards. Choose based on your IT policy — air-gapped networks use Elementi, distributed teams prefer Arya.

Does Arya store my content on SpinetiX servers?

Arya uses SpinetiX's secure cloud infrastructure in Switzerland. Content is encrypted in transit and at rest. For organizations that cannot use public cloud, Elementi provides fully on-premises management with no data leaving your network.

Can I switch from Elementi to Arya later?

Yes. The same SpinetiX players work with both. Enroll a player in Arya through its web interface, and it starts accepting cloud-managed content. You can also un-enroll and return to Elementi management at any time.

How many players can Arya manage?

Arya scales from 1 to thousands of players. Fleet management includes grouping by tag (location, department, floor), bulk operations, and real-time status dashboards. Pricing is subscription-based per player.

Does Arya support multi-user collaboration?

Yes. Arya includes role-based access control — admins, content editors, viewers. Multiple team members can manage content simultaneously from any browser. Approval workflows ensure content is reviewed before publishing to production screens.
