Simultaneous Local *and* BrightSign Networking?

Is it possible to enable both local networking and the BrightSign network on a device simultaneously? It seems that if I configure a device for BS Network, that it disappears from my local network. I can't connect to it via IP either.

I have a playlist with GB's of video files to transfer to the player which is generally going to live on and be managed via the BS network, however, I wish to populate the device via my LAN initially, because the video files are so large. What's the right way to do this? I thought I could enable both, copy files to the device, then continue to manage content via BS network, but this doesn't seem possible.

BS XD1230, FW 5.1.62

    You can't have a unit in more than one publish mode, but in recent BrightAuthor versions you can achieve the pre-load of initial content directly to the SD card using the "Setup unit for BrightSign Network" option in the Local Storage view of the Publish tab.SetupForBrightSignNetwork.png
