What is this file for and why is it pointing to an outside source when I am using Simple Networking? >http://bsnm.s3.amazonaws.com:80/ted/

  That must be an xtraneous reference. THe unit shouldn't be calling into bsn if you've set it up for simple networking. Please send me the localsync file, to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:support@brightsign.biz">support@brightsign.biz</a><!-- e -->, and I'll ask Ted about it.

  it's generated on the flash card when you run setup.  When you publish, whether it's simple networking or local storage the appropriate files are generated. I'm checking whether local sync with the bsn files is some dummy file that's generated, and if that's the case, I'm looking into the reason why.

  Any news on this topic?
  I have an customer, who want to know, why this file is on the player.
  The customers fears, that the player "phone home".

  This entry is a dummy information that's not used and isn't a valid link. There's no call to amazon servers from units in the field. Unless you setup a unit to call into a brightsign network account, it won't try to access Additionally, no such directory is open at that location, and no such. This is placeholder information that's part of the publish, that wasn't cleaned out of brightauthor. It's not in use.
