Chapter E Optional Equipment Configuration

Using a ShowStation IP

The ShowStation IP works best with two ViewStations, two ShowStations with LAN cards, and an RJ-45 cable. Follow these steps to connect and use this configuration:

1.Use the provided blue-tipped RJ-45 cable to connect the ShowStation LAN card to the blue LAN port on the back of the ViewStation. You can also connect the ShowStation and ViewStation to the same LAN.

2.Find the LAN name of the ShowStation by clicking on the Toolbar icon on the main menu of the ShowStation. The Site Name is under the Preferences tab.

3.Power on the ViewStation.

4.Select System Info>Admin Setup>Data Conference and enter the name of the ShowStation on the Data Conference screen.

Place a video call between the two ViewStations. When the ViewStations connect, the ShowStations synchronize with one another automatically. Once they connect, a whiteboard appears on the ShowStations’ LCD displays. It takes approximately 30 seconds for the whiteboard to appear once the video call is placed. You are now ready to use your ShowStation.
