Connecting to a network

The display can connect to a network using either Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. Network administrators can also add a browser proxy or install a certificate.

To connect to a Wi-Fi network

1. If an Ethernet cable is connected to the display, disconnect it.

2. On the display’s remote, press the Input button to open the launcher.

3. Select Settings and press OK.

4. Select Wi-Fi and press OK.

   Note 

   Ensure Wi-Fi is turned On.

5. Select a wireless network.

   If the Wi-Fi network is not password protected, the display connects to the network.

6. If the network requires a password, enter the Wi-Fi password, select Connect and press OK.

   OR

   If the network requires a user name and password, enter the user name and Wi-Fi password and select Connect and press OK.

   Tip 

   Use the crosshairs to move the on-screen keyboard.

To connect to an Ethernet network

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 jack on the display.

   Note 

   The network must provide network settings via DHCP. If you require a static IP, use DHCP reservation on your router.

When you connect your device or computer to the display using Screen Share, the screen sharing protocol compresses the image from your device or computer. The protocol may transmit only areas of the screen that change. This can make it difficult to estimate the impact of Screen Share on a network where many users would like to screen share simultaneously.

For example, in a school where 30 teachers are using Screen Share simultaneously, 10% of teachers might be streaming video while 90% might be sharing static content with occasional updates. In such an instance, you could expect to see an additional 5 Mbps in network traffic. Use the following table to help estimate the impact of wireless Screen Share on your network.
