You can use the BrightSign plugin (driver) for NETIO devices in the BrightAuthor application by setting the presentation parameters in the Autorun tab.

Already defined functions can then be used in an interactive presentation.

As a parameter, you define the IP address of the NETIO device to the function (in the example, 192.168.0.120)
