After first flashing the firmware

The device will set up its own ssid (NK2Tray-Display) to configure the connection to wifi. When connected, you should get pointed to the config page. if not, navigate to http://192.168.4.1 after setting up the wifi, the device will restart and show its IP address on the displays. The booting up screen will disappear after 10 seconds. After that, you can access the web interface by opening the IP via browser. Here you can do all your settings. After pressing "save changes", all settings will be stored to the eeprom. The stored settings are loaded on every bootup.

If you have any problems you can join the Discord NK2 Display server and ask for help in the support section or head to the NK2 Tray server and talk to Chaosgabe who did the almost complete rewrite of the firmware.
