Mitel Version 5.7 SP1 Configuring wall signs and wall sign messages

WallBoarder 235
If you do not want to dedicate an Enterprise Server com port to your wall signs (or you simply need another
computer to connect to a wall sign), you can hook up your wall sign(s) to a client computer. You click
Help=>Software downloads/Installations=>Remote server installation and install a remote media server (data
collection point) on a client computer. The computer connects to the master wall sign over an RS-232 25-pin
cable, an RS-485 converter, and RS-485 RJ-11 cabling, as in the proceeding setup. In this setup, one client
computer com port is dedicated to your wall sign(s).
The new Spectrum IP wall signs plug into a network jack on the wall, just like your network printer.
Each wall sign has a unique sign address. You add one or more signs to a sign group. For example, you could
add Wall sign 1 to Sign group 1, and Wall signs 2 to 4 to Sign group 2. Keep in mind that all of the signs in the
same sign group, display the same messages. You associate each sign group with a sign plan. Using sign
groups and sign plans, you can display the same message on one or more wall signs, or display unique
messages on all of the wall signs.
