Description

This guide explains how to set up IP Control for Sony Bravia. New models of Sony Bravia no longer include the option “none” for authenticating IP Control, this guide will explain how to configure this so IP Control can be used with TEOS.

For android 12 and higher, a password will be set within TEOS to authenticate the device with that same password. Do note that one password can be entered within TEOS, meaning all devices that will use a Pre-Shared Key for TEOS will need the same password.

Requirements

• Access to the settings of a Sony Bravia display
• Administrator access to TEOS Manage (Android 12 and higher)
