For information on how to initialize your player with the provisioning website, [click here](https://docs.grassfish.com/docs/player-provisioning-website) You’ll find multiple important settings in the InitBox of your player. To open the InitBox, perform the following steps: 1. Select **F10**. 2. If necessary, enter the daily password and confirm it in the subsequent dialog. This opens the first window of the InitBox which allows you to check and adjust the screen orientation. ## Change screen orientation In the **Screen orientation** window, you can see which screen orientation is selected and whether the orientation is correct. Note that not all devices support all rotation angles. Note For initialized players, you can alternatively change the screen-rotation in the display management of the IXM One. To change the screen orientation, perform the following steps: 1. Rotate the screen in one of the following ways: - Select your screen orientation from the dropdown menu. - Click **Rotate Left** or **Rotate Right** to adjust the screen. 2. Once your screen orientation is correct, click **Save** and continue or select the spacebar. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e2b87f73-d9f5-43cb-8182-2641762664fd/Images/Documentation/image-1689852273887.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T19%3A45%3A33Z&se=2026-11-06T20%3A45%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=bsYVzqxcflTJfxkz86FMKUGvvt7RtI8gJigJ958bLXk%3D) ## Configure your system In the subsequent **Configure your system** window, you’ll find shortcuts to the system settings. For example, you can jump to the network settings, time zone settings, or the configuration tool for serial devices. Note The system automatically syncs changes that you make in the player system settings with the player configuration in the IXM One. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e2b87f73-d9f5-43cb-8182-2641762664fd/Images/Documentation/image-1689852324955.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T19%3A45%3A33Z&se=2026-11-06T20%3A45%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=bsYVzqxcflTJfxkz86FMKUGvvt7RtI8gJigJ958bLXk%3D) ## Reset the player If you need to, you can reset your player from here. This restarts the initialization of the player. → To reset the player, click **Box Reset**. ## Configure serial device settings Use the serial device settings to configure supported devices. For example, you can configure RS232 device settings for monitor steering here. To do so, you must perform the following steps: - Link your device to the screen controller. - Setup RS232 control in the IXM One. ### Link your device to the ScreenController You can control your monitor via an RS232 interface.

In the **Configure your system** window, click **Serial Devices**. You can now see all supported serial devices. 2. Connect your serial device to the player. After a few seconds, the **GF Player** dialog appears. 3. In this dialog, select **Always open GF Player when USB-Serial Controller is connected**. 4. To confirm, click **OK**. This dialog appears twice. Select and confirm both times. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e2b87f73-d9f5-43cb-8182-2641762664fd/Images/Documentation/image-1689852495668.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T19%3A45%3A33Z&se=2026-11-06T20%3A45%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=bsYVzqxcflTJfxkz86FMKUGvvt7RtI8gJigJ958bLXk%3D) 5.
