Set Up Your Box

These instructions assume that SamizdApp is already installed on your box. A SamizdApp Box received from us will have SamizdApp properly installed on it. However, if you wish to use your own device, you'll need to complete the setup in BYOB (Bring Your Own Box) first.

Unpack Your Box

Remove your box from its packaging and select a place in your room to set it up. You should select a place where the box won't be at risk of damage; avoid exposing your box to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

Your box needs internet connectivity, so also make sure that it has access to ethernet from where you place it.

Officially, ethernet connectivity is a requirement to run the box; however, you can attempt to connect the box via Wi-Fi instead.

Power On Your Box

Plug the ethernet cable into your box and the other end into your modem or router.

Plug the power cord into your box and the other end into a power source; you should see the power light of your box turn on. Once plugged in, the status light should turn on, and your box should automatically boot. After several seconds (up to a minute), the status light should begin blinking regularly to indicate the box has successfully booted.

Wait 5-10 minutes for your box to download and install updates.
