To set up LAN communication for managing your videowall, follow these steps:

1. Access Communication Settings:

   • Navigate to the [Communication Settings] section of the software.
   • Select the [LAN (Network)] option to enable network-based communication.

2. Check Device Support:

   • Ensure the connected videowall devices support LAN communication.
   • Verify that the devices are connected to the same network as the controlling computer.

3. Search for Devices:

   • Use one of the following methods to detect devices:
     • Default Search (Broadcast Mode):
       • Select Default Search to broadcast a request across the current LAN.
       • The connected devices will automatically return their IP information, indicating they are available for connection.
     • Specific Search:
       • Use Specific Search to detect devices based on a specific IP range or port number.
       • Enter the relevant network segment (e.g., 192.168.x.x) to locate devices manually.

4. Select a Device:

   • After the search, a list of detected devices will appear.
   • Choose the device you wish to connect by selecting it from the results.

5. Save the Configuration:

   • Once the desired device is selected, click [OK] to save and complete the LAN communication setup.

6. Verify the Connection:

   • Test the connection by performing basic control tasks, such as changing the input source or adjusting settings.

Notes:

• Ensure that the network is configured correctly and is free of connection restrictions (e.g., firewall blocks).
• If using Specific Search, confirm the IP address and port settings match the target device.
• For troubleshooting, check network cables, switch connections, and device network settings.
