Click “Test Cloud Update”, and you should see your Flite display return to the main screen, along with a “WiFi” icon in the upper right-hand corner

After about 30-45 seconds, the “WiFi” icon should disappear and the current network name and IP should be updated on the Flite display

From this point forward, you should be able to browse the same user interface from an IP address local to your WiFi network. The network name and IP address should be displayed on your Flite display once it has connected to your local WiFi

Configure Taplist.io API Keys

With a smartphone, tablet, or PC connected to the same WiFi network as your Flite display, open a browser (Chome, IE, Firefix, etc…) and enter the IP address (this can be located on the Flite display) into the browser’s address bar

After a few seconds, you should be directed to a screen like this:

Enter your API Key, venue ID, and the Tap number (noted in the "Create a tap and tap a keg" section), then click “Update”

Go back to the screen you browsed on step 1

Click “Test Cloud Update”, and you should see your Flite display return to the main screen, along with a “WiFi” icon in the upper right-hand corner

After about 30-45 seconds, the “WiFi” icon should disappear and the current values should have updated on the Taplist.io web page

You will also notice the header indicates how many minutes until the next update. The Flite display will update the current values to taplist.io approximately every 1 hour.
