Configuring ipView 25
To configure ipView to echo to other wallboards, click the Send to other wallboards option checkbox, to place a tick in the checkbox. (When this option is checked, the Data Echoing IP Address List and its Add and Remove buttons become active.)
Port Number
You will not normally need to change this value.
This is the Port number on which the ipView software will listen for incoming data, and which it uses to echo to other wallboards. It may require changing if you wish to address wallboards that are on the other side of a firewall, and your network administrators have decided on a particular range of Port numbers which software must use in order to communicate through the firewall.
If your network administrator advises you to change your Port number to a new value, overtype the old value and click the Apply button.
Note that you must close down and restart ipView before the new setting will take place.

To add a new entry to the list, type it into the dotted edit field above the Add and Remove buttons, and then click the Add button.
To remove an entry from the list, highlight it in the list and then click the Remove button.

Note that ipView expects the IP Addresses in the Data Echoing IP Address List to remain constant. If they are altered then the Data Echoing IP Address List should be amended to match. This will not happen without manual intervention on a physical Wallboard. However, if the Wallboard being echoed to is an ipView Software wallboard running on a PC that uses DHCP to obtain its IP Address, then the IP Address of the PC could be subject to change. DHCP enabled PCs usually receive the same IP Address each time they
!
If the IP Address of a physical Wallboard or an ipView Software Wallboard changes, the Data Echoing IP Address List must be updated to reflect the new IP Address of the Wallboard device.
