Introduction

This article describes the installation and setup of r_keeper MenuBoard Pro.

For Samsung and LG TVs manufactured before 2019 browser performance is not guaranteed. Using an Android set-top box is recommended.

Installation

Download the installation file from the FTP server at ftp://ftp.ucs.ru/rk7/other/Menuboard_Pro/.
Run the MenuBoard installer, Menuboard_setup-X.X.exe. Select the installation language and follow the instructions.

The only important setting during installation is the selection of the port via which MenuBoard will be available.

This port should be free.

When the installation is complete, the MenuBoard server will function as a service and be configured to autorun.
Now the system should be licensed.
