VOE Main Menu

Opening a VOE window shows all the displays detected on the network, each on its own line. Columns on the VOE Main Menu show display information. See Figure 3-1 VOE Main Menu on page 4.

A display must be highlighted before the user can perform any operations such as changing its name or location. Highlight a display by clicking any column entry for the display wanted.

Modes and Privileges

The upper left corner of the VOE menu window indicates the mode and privileges of the operator. VOE opens the user interface in User Mode with no designation in the upper left corner as shown in Figure 3-1 VOE Main Menu on page 4. However, If the user logs on as an Administrator, the upper left corner will indicate Master Administrator if the Master Administrator password has been used, or Administrator if the user entered one of the other three possible administrator passwords. To view these designations, refer to Figure 3-1 VOE Menu Window - Master Administrator, Administrator, User on page 5. For more password information, see Password on page 20.

Entering Display Information

Each VOE display has variable data populated either by the end user or by the VOE software. Data fields include:

Player Name

Display Name

Display Location

Display Model

The Display Name, Display Location, and Player Name fields can include up to 32 characters or numbers along with any special character except the percent sign (%).

Player Name

The Player Name field can be entered initially from the display's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu or this field will be entered or changed by the VOE software when an association is made between the display and a player on the network. If the Player Name field is entered from the display's OSD, when VOE is launched and the Player Name in the display matches a player on the network with the same Computer Name, the association will automatically be made without any user intervention.

When an association is made, VOE will automatically populate the Player Name field. The Player Name is the Computer Name entered into Windows.

In Windows 8, to check or change the computer name, from the Start screen, type c, and then select Control

Panel from the list of applications. Choose System, and then locate the computer name under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings. VOE displays the Computer Name as the Player Name.
