VIA Connect PRO - Setting Up
For full functionality, VIA Connect PRO must be connected to a local area
network (LAN). You must assign an IP address to the VIA Connect PRO.
NOTE: Do not turn the device on before connecting the LAN port to the network.
NOTE: To allow participation in a collaborative session (send and receive content),
connect the VIA Connect PRO hub and all participant devices (PCs/ MACs/
smartphones/tablets) to the same network (LAN - wired/wireless).
The VIA Connect PRO hub receives user’s display/screen information and
multimedia files from their device (laptop/tablet/smartphone) and sends them to
the collaboration display (the display connected directly to VIA Connect PRO hub
unit).
