In order for the Image Display entity to work, there must be a symbolic link created on the Network Manager pointing to the webserver. Without this link the Image Display entity can not download images to show on screen. Newer Network Manager come with this symbolic link already created. Older Network Manager need to have it added.
1.Open a webbrowser on the Windows computer you run Orion on. This computer should be connected to the Athena WiFi Network.
2.Type in the following URL:
http://{Hostname of Your Network Manager]/images/
The name of your Network Manager is listed on your customer information sheet. And will be similar to 001234-CORE-001.
3.If the page opens without error, the symbolic link exists and not further action is required.
If an error page opens, the symbolic link does not exists and needs to be created.
The instructions below will require the password to your Network Manager. It is listed on your customer information sheet.
1.From the Windows computer you run Orion on, Open Power Shell.

2.ssh into the Network Manager by typing in the following command. When prompted type in the password to the Network Manager.
ssh pi@{Hostname of Network Manager}
3.Execute the following commands to create the symbolic link. Copy and pasting each command is strongly recommended. After the first command, you will be prompted to type in your password.
sudo mkdir /home/ggc_user/src/images
sudo ln -s /home/ggc_user/src/images /var/www/html/images
sudo chown ggc_user:ggc_group /home/ggc_user/src/images
sudo chmod 777 /home/ggc_user/src/images
